A|NIN^ It's thrilling to use only the softest, finest, imported talc . . . It's exciting to enjoy the refreshing fragrance of April Showers, "The Perfume of Youth". . . And it's satisfying to get this luxury at so low a price . . . 28$. No wonder April Showers Talc is the most famous and best loved talcum powder in the world! April Showers Perfume in purse-sizes— 28^, 50</, $1. C OMETHING NEW UNDER THE O SUN : — Studio was* trying to decide whether Tyrone Power should develop a moustache and if so, what kind. So they invited a party of some two hundred women for lunch in the studio commissary, whilst Tyrone paraded back and forth, wearing a different type lip-piece, so they could help decide. Gosh, it must be fun to be an actor ! TRED KEATING has solved the prob'lem of coping with theater chatterers. Fred sat behind a couple one night who buzzed away consistently through the most interesting scenes, completely drowning out the dialogue. Finally, he leaned over and tapped one of them on the shoulder. "Would you mind repeating that last remark ?" 'he said, "I missed it." The conversation ceased ! rYOROTHY LAM OUR is not to be a L' band-leader's widow, after all. Her hubby, Herb Kay, has just succeeded in lining up an engagement which will keep him on the coast for the rest of the year, so they won't have to be separated. WICTOR McLAGLEN'S son, Andrew, V has been confined to his bed for the past few weeks with a broken leg. When he finally was up and about, it was discovered he'd grown three inches during his' illness and is now exactly Vic's height — six foot three. And the kid is only fifteen ! CINCE Will Rogers' untimely death, O Fred Stone has become a veritable foster-father to Will's son, Bill, Jr. He not only takes the boy on hunting and fishing trips, but advises him about all his business investments. As' you know, Fred and Will, Sr., had been close friends for years. JACK HALEY pulled one of the best ■J gags of the season on Charlie Ruggles the other evening when he showed up at one of Charlie's parties with his dog, fancily attired in dinner clothes ! It was all because Charlie is so proud of his own dogs and his .elaborate kennels, the finest in these parts. IF YOU'RE planning on visiting Myrna ' Loy in her new home, you mustn't park in the spot with the red curb which is marked plainly "Do Not Park Here," because that's Myrna's own special parking place. The rest of the courtyard is marked off with the regulation white lines, indicating each parking space. "Nothing Sacred" — in Editor Fredric March's sanctum. An advance flash giving you an idea of Freddie's new film, in which Coroie Lombard co-stars. OF ALL things — Bruce Cabot is about to buy a circus ! Seems Bill Hart (former big Western star) talked him into the idea and they're pooling their resources to take on a collection of animals' and acrobats so they can open up in the fall. WE COULDN'T believe our eyes when little Shirley Ross, at the luncheon table in the Derby the other day, dragged out a sack of tobacco, some cigarette papers, and started to "roll her own !" Somehow, she didn't seem to be making a very good job of it. "What goes on?" I asked her. "Oh, gosh," she complained, "I have to do this all the way through my next picture, and I don't think I'll ever get the technique. That's why I'm practicing every chance I have." Just then, the whole thing fell in her coffee, much to her disgust. JUST before he left on his extended bearhunting expedition, Clark Gable had a short wave radio set installed in his car. You'd never guess whom he wants to keep in touch with during his trip, would you? Success hint! Make your work a hobby. It's a cinch. Henry Fonda and Joan Bennett prove that, as Joan acts and Hank films for fun on location for "I Met My Love Again." 14 SCREENLAND
