FEW people realize that television is about to become a common, everyday factor in modern life.
A French inventor has perfected a device which is the most advanced step in television. It is a traveling car, fitted with cameras, sound equipment, film developing tanks, and (most important) television projecting outfits.
One day last week, during an experimental test, this traveling studio photographed a motor accident with sound, developed it, and radioed the entire sequence to a theatre screen five miles away. The entire process, from the moment the camera started grinding until the scene was shown in the theatre, required seventy-five seconds !
CHARLES FARRELL has been successful in acquiring movie-star tenants for his realty holdings. Bette Davis is now living in Charlie's Beverly home. Bette formerly lived in Mr. and Mrs. Farrell's Toluca Lake home — -she must have found him a good landlord. George Brent now lives in Charlie's Toluca house, and neighbors say that Greta Garbo has dined there with Brent on several occasions.
MARY BRIAN has a suh-well "boy-friend-holding insurance" idea. She goes out with so many chaps, that before she has a date with one, she repeats his name over and over again. Thus she avoids the tragic mishaps of calling Dick, John or Bob or Gene, or vice versa. If you are popular, girls, and if you often make this same mistake, try Mary's system!

WHO said "a prophet is without honor in his own home town"? Dick Powell has disproved that adage, once and for all.
When Powell returned recently to Pittsburgh to make personal appearances in the theatre where he first won notice as an orchestra leader, police reserves were necessary to save him from the clamoring crowds. Several thousand people stormed the theatre, practically clawing each other to get seats for the opening performance. Those who failed to get inside went around to the stage entrance, and they made a rush for Powell the minute he appeared, thus necessitating the police guard.
In a letter to Hollywood friends, Dick estimated that "he had signed three thousand autographs on my first day in Pittsburgh."
