Here
and
Now
AROUND TOWN:
Dick Frankensteen in a gray
glummer suit, leaving the Book
after Mayor Jeffries’ meeting
on plans for
a community ]
war chest.
There are
va-
Relief
funds already, #.
and nobody
n o how
m a n v kinds
when you in
elude fund s
for other S't/^
countries.
1 lence the
to ■■■■■■
combine them
all in one. ** picemuno
As Hardy Crowell said, “There
were so many campaigns that
people were developing immun
ity/’ Maybe they could call the
war chest the Immunity Fund.
• • •
On the way over to Herb
Eigen’ office, 1 fell by the way
■kte because Dr. Larry Richard
and Bill Clsana were talking
about dogs.
As everybody knows, William
B. Knud sen sometimes calls
himself “the Great Dane." That
also happens to be the kind of
a dog Knud sen has.
Larry Richard has a brother
of Knudsen’s dog. As It Is ex
plained to Larry, Great Danes
used to be even bigger dogs than
they are now. Occasionally a
throw-back comes along, a
dog bigger than average*
Both Knud sen and Richard
have throw-backs. Larry’s dog,
named King, weighs 167 pounds
fWad Is only 10 months old. By
Hm time he Is full grown he
will he bigger than bis father.
His fsther weighs IBS.
• • •
Young Great Dane* are very
clumsy because they grow too
fast.
•‘My dog,” said Larry, “used
to be so clumsy that he’d be
running along full speed and go
flat on his face for no reason at
all. Just get his legs tangled
up. And his tail! It s like a
whip. Great Danes don’t have
much feeling in their tails and
when they wag their tails, they
just hang into things. Mae
(that’s Mrs. Richardi always
Kut* King outdoors when I get
ome. because when he sees me
he starts to wag his tail. If we
left him In the house he would
knock over all the lamps.”
• • •
In ease you still want n Great
Dnne (I would. If I had n place
to keep him, but I have only a
one-car garage), think of the
food bill. One day’s ration for
Ring Is:
Three pounds of horsement.
two tablespoons of cod liver oil.
two dlabaaic calcium tablets,
three eggs, cereal for five aver
age breakfasts, one vitamin C
tablet, one yeast tablet, and
snacks left over from the din
ner table.
• • •
Larry never could get hi* dog
to stand on scales to be weighed.
So he holds the dog in his arms,
and subtracts his own weight.
Now that King weighs 167, he
la about ready to quit.
• • •
Wa also ran Into Shannon Cor-
Just out of the Veteran*
iJHoopltal. I don’t know his doc
name, but he ought to get
a medal. When (ormack was
sArkest, the doctor stayed up all
night with him, taking time off
only to get coffee so he could
stay awake. People don’t know
how much work the Veterans
Hospital staffs do for m«i who
were hurt la the last war.
• • •
Speaking of recoveries. I*eo
Conroy, the pro at North Hills,
has been somewhat out of kilter
for over a year but now is get
ting back in form. He shot a 66
the other day, and then had the
temerity to complain about it.
A 31 on the out nine, but a 35
coming in. He had some bad
breaks, he said. When a golfer
complains about a 35 at North
Hills, then he is fully recovered.
• • •
They have been painting our
office for the last three days,
and we are all sick of the smell
of paint. And the painters,
Walter Ruebelman and Bill Nlll.
are tired of having everybody
who cornea In ask, “What are
you doing?”
When a man Is painting, there
Is no excuse for asking him what
he Is doing. But people do It.
Ask any painter. It’s one of the
crosses of that trade.
Bill and Walter have Anally
taken to replying, “We’re play
ing badminton.” Any other
painters who want to use that
answer for foollsh-questlon-ask
►rs are welcome to It.

Kay Kyser
a Success
in Movies
By CHARLES GENTRY
WE DIDN’T know that “the
College of Musical Knowledge”
had any courses in histrionics, but
it looks like “Professor” Kay
Kyser has been doing all right in
the dramatic department of his
own Alma Mater.
Kyser’s latest picture. “My Fa
vorite Spy." is due to appear on
the Fox Theater screen Friday
and will be his fourth, which is
certainly proof that his radio and
dance fans want to see him on the
screen as well.
This is remarkable In that he
ii one of the very few orchestra
leaders to ever make the grade as
a screen entertainer. Many of
the baton boys have tried and left
Hollywood with bitterness in their
hearts and their faces turned to
the cutting room wall.
It is generally true that musi
cians don’t make good actors and
that an orchestra leader suffers
a much worse fate on the screen
when he can’t even hold a saxo
phone in front of his face.
All the big shots. Tommy Dor
sey. Jimmy Dorsey and Glenn
Miller have tried it but failed to
prove photogenic enough to follow
the Kleig-lit trail.
FOR AIRING PURPOSES
Artie Shaw, perhaps, came as
close as any, hut his success in
films can’t touch that of Kyser.
RKO was. for that reason, leery
of Kyser at first. When they
signed him to make “That’s Right,
lYou’re Wrong,” it was chiefly to
•cater to the ether set, who follow
ihim religiously on the air waves.
That Kyser would become a
comedian, they never dreamed, and
he was kept in Ihe fairly incon
spicuous background, except for a
few scenes.
A UNIQUE TWIST
These scenes, however, proved
the highlights of the picture,
which, as you may recall, actually
dealt with a band leader they were
trying to turn into a movie -star,
with hilariously disastrous results.
This was a smart idea on which
to base a band picture, but no
one guessed that Kyser would
gamer fan mail from folk who
had never heard him on the air!
Next they tried another “kid
der,” this "one as the murder!
mystery to end all murder;
mysteries. Karloff. Lugosi and
Lorre were all hired to become
horror stooges for Kyser. with the
result that they are still making
both horror and Kyser pictures.
"You’ll Find Out" was the title of
that one and the maestro found
himself occupying much more
screen space.
DISTINGUISHED CO-STAR
In the third, “Playmates.” he
look up almost as much celluloid
as his distinguished co-star, John
Barrymore, who. incidentally,
made hi* final screen appearance
with Kyser.
Now the studio realizes that
their band leader has accomplished
the almost-impossible. He has be
come a screen star. So much so
that Harold Lloyd, the former
comedian, who produced “My
Favorite Spy.” picked Kyser, him
self to play the role in this film
which Lloyd had bought himself
for his own comeback.
Kyser is being spoken of around
the sets, as "the new Harold
Lloyd.” The be-spectacled maestro
looks like Lloyd did in his hey
day. He is the same type of con
fused young man. who gets him
self into terrible scrapes. In fact,
literally fits into the picture.
THE ‘NEW LLOYD*
Now Lloyd, who Is bent solely■
on producing, is grooming Kyser
to take his place in re-make* of
some of the more famous of early
Lloyd comedies.
In "My Favorite Spy,” Kyseri
has Ellen Drew and Jane Wyman 1
for feminine interest with a fair
share of music provided by his]
hand, for Kyser wants to have his
band in every picture, no matter
what direction his screen career,!
now* an established fact, takes him.
Incidentally, Kyser and his or
ganization, are due here in person
at the very same theater, the Fox,
some time in July, though no defi
nite date has yet been set.

HOLLYWOOD GOSSIP
HOLLYWOOD, June 16—The
king and queen of England are
so interested* in Noel Coward’s
new film. “In Which We Serve,’’
they visited his set in London the
other day, the first time they had
ever been in a motion picture
studio. The huge battleship scene
was responsible for their visit.
As soon as he finishes the pic
ture Noel will bring it to New
York for Alex Korda, who is re
leasing it In this country, to see.
Alex told me the story is the birth,
life and death of a great destroyer
and the title, “In Which We
Serve,” is taken from the naval
prayer, “God Save the King and
the Navy in Which We Serve ” It
stars Noel, who wrote and di
rected it.
The Kordas will go to London
as soon as it is possible, some
time in the next few months, so
Alex can accept the knighthood
bestowed on him by King George
last Friday.
POPULAR FILM
Guess the last laugh is on the
critics, for Arnold Presshurger's
"Shanghai Gesture,” panned to a
fair-thee-well. has already grossed
$1,250,000 and still has 3,800 more
contracts to play. With that rec
ord, no w-onder he was able to
borrow a bankroll to make three
{>ictures for United Artists, the
east of which will be budgeted at
$750 t OOO. The first of these is the
story he purchased from Frank
Capra. ’Tomorrow Never Comes,”
starting August 1.
The second picture, “Days of
Antwerp.” is by Ashel-By, author
of the celebrated ”Pepe Le Moko,”
or “Algiers,” as it is better known
in America. In January he will
bring "Medal of Honor” before the
cameras, a story which the enter
prising Pressburger describes as a
cavalcade of American heroism.
