secretive regarding rent.
The trio says, "yes and no” in an
swer to the question. “D’ye like Holly
wood?” “We like the pay—but hate
the people—they're all crazy. At the
end of our pictures, we have to get
away to New York or Florida—or we’d
go nuts.” . .. Some of the pay finds its
way nightly into the local gambling
night club, where the Ritz brothers
first startled sophisticated Hollywood
ites with their different brand of crazy
foolery.
They performed on the stage and
in restaurants for 10 years before
Darryl Zanuck signed them for the
movies.
"Wre clicked in vaudeville right from
the beginning,” said Harry. Pay for
the trio’s first appearance in New
York City was $62.50. Broadway pro
ductions include "Florida Girl,” "Vari
eties” and “Continental Varieties.”

collegiate wide pants movement . . .

minor gee it's awful stinden,” con
eluded Harry. (Try this on your
friends some time.)
