Silver Screen (Nov 1937-Apr 1938)

Six girls in "Walking Down Broadway." They are Lynn Bari, Dixie Dunbar, Jayne Regan, Leah Ray, Claire Trevor and Phyllis Brooks — tomorrow's ladies of glamour. Snatching her coat off the bed (mink, of course). "He ought to get life," Jean remarks drily. "Life!" Irene screams furiously at the door. "I'll see that he gets the electric chair!" But he doesn't get the chair. In the end he geto Irene, which is the way all good pictures should end. That other certain person on the RK.O lot whom I dislike almost as much as I do Dietrich, isn't working today so I barge on to the set of "Bringing Up Baby." Cary Grant is working and so is Virginia Walker, who is much the nicer of the two women. Cary is a paleontologist and he is busy, in fact, his life's work is, putting together the bones of a brontosaurus. You remember that song a few years ago that began, "Go wash an elephant if you wanna do something big!"? Well, an elephant isn't in it with a brontosaurus. Cary is up on a high platform absent-mindedly waving the jawbone around. "I'm not sure this isn't part of the tail," he mutters. "Nonsense," snaps Miss Walker, another Boston society girl who is entering pictures by way of playing Cary's secretary. "You tried it in the tail yesterday and it didn't fit." "So I did," Cary remembers relievedly. "David." she continues, "come down off that ladder. Here's a telegram." "Open it," he orders. She does— and lets out a little squeal. "David!" she gasps. "They've found it! The intercostal clavicle will be here tomorrow." Naturally, Cary gets all hopped up but I could tell him he's wasting his emotion because not only will the clavicle be there but so will Hepburn. If I were he I'd sooner do without the clavicle and work in some other picture. There being naught else to see at R-K-O I trim my sails for another studio. Over at Columbia /^XLY one picture going here— "The Lone Wolf." This features the personality kid, Francis Lederer, in the role that Bert Lytell once made famous. This has a European background, it has to do with a mythical kingdom and when I tell you the crown jewels have been stolen again I've said everything. Frances Drake plays the Princess Thania and just at this moment the Grand Duke, Walter Kingsford (who is the real heavy) has Francis Lederer strapped to a board and is throwing knives at him to make him tell where the jewels are hidden. Lederer smiles with the utmost sang froid and keeps his trap shut. But Frances Drake gives out with a scream [Continued on page 80] Seems Like Everyone has a Kleenex True Confession HAVE YOU?
