Si, 507 Fifth Avenue New York City A Helping Hand From Hollywood WHEN the S8th birthday of President Frankhn Delano Roosevelt is celebrated on January 30, Hollywood will play an important part in the celebration, just as it has in the past four years. As dances and entertainments are held all over the United States, a group of your favorite movie stars will give liberally of their time and talent to aid in the fight against infantile paralysis. Since January, 1936, when Ginger Rogers took off her shoes and danced for the President in the Oval Room of the White House, stars of the silver screen have been invited to Washington for the birthday celebrations there — and have been White House guests at a birthday luncheon. For a few days, Pennsylvania Avenue takes on the aspect of Hollywood Boulevard, with stars such as Errol Flynn, Robert Taylor, Frederic March, George Brent, Annabella, Janet Gaynor and numerous others liable to pop out from behind the nearest diplomatic car. But do not think for a moment that these visitors from Hollywood receive Above: Andrea Leeds watches Mrs. Roosevelt cut the President's birthday cake. Left: Errol Flynn with the President at a horse show, in Washington, D. C, in which Errol rode the President's horse. presidential honor and reams of publicity for nothing. They must give lavishly of themselves in order to make certain the success of the Washington celebration, which annually adds more than $50,000 to the national fund to combat the dread disease — poliomyelitis. The official round of activities in the Nation's Capital includes, besides cocktail parties, receptions, broadcasts, dinners and visits to Capitol Hill, personal appearances at the balls held in seven leading Washington hotels and at the midnight stage shows in two downtown theaters. In addition, one or two of the stars at least must drive over to Baltimore, Maryland, or Alexandria, Virginia, to add appearances at dances there to the hst of chores for the evening. "It's like playing a week of vaudeville in one night," a theater-wise star once said. He was right. Playing ten shows in one short evening is a full schedule indeed. A star who makes the rounds needs all of the energy he can muster, for the trek has been known to tire even the indefatigable Mrs. Roosevelt, who makes appearances everywhere the stars do. Many of cinemaland's brightest figures have made the jaunt, however, delighted to honor the President and happy to do their bit in the fight against paralysis. They grin and bear up under the strain of the night's activities, which begin at 9 P.M., and continue until 4 A.M., or later. 16 Silver Screen
