1 Kay Kyser, the 01 Professor,
surrounds himself with three of
the screen's foremost bogeymen
- and big cast of film and radio
'.- talent In supplying the novelty
entertainment of his new picture.
"You'll Find Out," starting to
day at the Elsinore theatre and
running- through Christmas.
. In this musical mystery melo
dyrama Peter Lorre; . Boris . Kar
lof f and Bela Lugosi supply the
menace that upset the romance
of - Helen Parrlsh and Dennis
! O'Keefe and terrorizes Alma Kru-
'' ger and JCyser'a entire band, par
ticularly by Glnny Slmmi, Harry
Babbit, Ish Kabibble and Sully
Mason.
Between broadcasts of the Col
lege of Musical Knowledge m a
radio studio, Kay Kyser and his
band fill an engagement to en
tertaln at a big weekend birth
clay party In an old mansion in
- a deserted location. Seldom did
gaiety hare a more eerie setting
than the frantic edifice built by
a now dead archaeologist and
occupied by his splritualistlcally
Inclined sister and his pretty
young daughter.
Kyser and his pals are affected
by the gloomy atmosphere and by
the grim personalities of Saliano,
a fake medium, and of Judge
Main waring, the family lawyer,
They are even more effected when
they learn that several mysterious
attempts hare been made on the
life of the daughter. One of
these attempts nearly kills Glnny
Simms.
Kyser and the band decide to
leave the spooky place, but a bolt
f lightning blows up the bridge
which Is the only exit from the
estate. They pin their hopes on
Professor Fennlnger to solve the
mysteries they meet around every
eornr. Fennlnger has been en-
gagd by the heroine to expose
Faliano's crookedness to her aunt.
Unfortunately, the Professor is
an im poster also, and is in league
with the Judge and Saliano to
kill the girl and thus assure them
selves of continued income
through their elderly victim, the
aunt.
How the three Bad Humor Men
endeavor again and again to get
rid of the girl, how Kyser
tumbles across the secrets of
fiallano's mediumlstic tricks, and
how the band leader manages to
save the whole party from an
nihilation after a series of fan
tastic adventures with "black
magic," lead to a happy conclu
sion for the romance, and a mo
. sical climax with Kay Kyser and
his band back before the radio
microphone.

England Is Place
For Bit of Rest
HOLLWOOD, Dec. 21-JP-An-
other "letter from England's
story:
Actress Anna Neagle received
five-page epistle the other day
from an aunt living 10 miles from
the heart of London. It expressed
a fear that the actress was work
ing too hard "and now you write
that you are to play a circus bare
back rider in 'Sunny. Please be
careful, dear. It sound fearfully
hasardous. I do wish that before
you begin your next picture you
might come back here for a little
rest and quiet."
Only mention of the air war
was the observation:
"Tram schedules are sometimes
d a 1 a y d the air raids, you
know."

Wacky Holiday
For Hollywood
Film Stars Send Friends
Old Horses, Worn out
School Busses
By TED GILL
. HOLLYWOOD, . Dec. 2l-JPf
Capricious, madcap movie-land
, . . well known for Its head
lined social hi-jinks the other
364 days of the .year . . . ias
pulled on the false whiskers .
dragged tinsel and spangles from
the mothballs . . . and is all set
for a howling, . super-colossal
Ynletide. soiree .. to romp,
make merry and otherwise frolic
ueing an unusual place, you
wouldn't expect Hollywood to ob
serve its Christmas celebration in
anything but a unique way . .
there probably Isn't another com
munlty in the country today that
resembles a veritable fairyland
quite as much as does this stor
ied land of make-believe. . .
Miles or decorated streets are
gaily lighted . . . flowered and
green-shrubbed wards, bathed in
sunshine from one season to an
other, are covered with artificial
snow . . . Imitation Santa Clauses
and dummy reindeers are mount
ed on lawns and rooftops . . ,
and myriad lights sparkle bright
ly from festooned trees. ...
Christmas is the one holi
day la the year when every
movie camera stops ... studio
gates remain closed ... bo
visiting president or foreign
notable can match Kris Krin
gle's feat In doing that . . .
It Is a day for much wining
and dining ... numerous
freak gifts and cards will be
exchanged ... some voluptuous
blonde or redhead is sore to
get her picture In the papers
after a dip in the ocean ...
others will decide to get mar
ried. ...
Some screen starlets will en
tertain a bus-load of friends . .
their parents will drive them to
nearby mountain, desert or sea
side resorts ... or they will
spend the day quietly at home.
But, although Jolly good times
are enjoyed by all film colonists,
they nevertheless see to it that
the less fortunate also are made
happy . . . they will do their bit
for organized charities ... or
as Individuals will play Santa
Claus to the poor. . . .
One of the better known series
of freak gift exchanges is that
practiced by MGM Director W. 8
Van Dyke and Actor John Mlljan
. . . It started years ago when
Mlljan sent Van Dyke an an
cient "flivver" from a Junk shop
. . . Next year, Mlljan received
an equally dilapidated school bus
which he In turn filled with
guests, towed back to Van Dyke's
house and left there . . . Next
year Mlljan sent Van Dyke an
assortment of dogs ... and the
following Christmas Van Dyke
sent Mlljan a hundred pounds of
frankfurters . . . with the mes
sage: "Here are your dogs back.
with the bark taken out." . . .
What the exchange this year will
be is still a secret. ...
Someone Is sure to wake ap
Christmas morning and find
an old broken down, sway
back horse parked in his par
lor and nibbling away at the
Christmas tree foliage, a
stunt that has been going the
rounds of actors homes for lO
years . . . What Actress Carole
Lombard will send Hubby
Clark Gable this year Is
mystery ... Before their mar
riage, she sent him an old rat
tie-trap flivver ... not to be
outdone. Gable secretly had
the ancient Jalopy rebuilt, super-charged,
and painted and
then proudly called upon Miss
Lombard in It, one of the
smartest looking cars on the
road. . . Later he sold it at
an attractive figure. ...
Mary Beth Hughes, aided by
the ingenuity of 20th Century
Fox prop-men, is sending a unique
gift, a big doll with empty slots
in its head, cheeks, chin and
above the upper lips In which
earth and grass seeds are plant
ed .. . Shortly they will sprout
luxurious crops of green hail1,
sideburns, moustaches, whiskers
and eyebrows . . . Two years ago
Cesser Romero sent Sonja Henis
a book entitled "Skating for be
ginners." ...
Cowboy Gene Autry will send
a big derrick to Herbert Yates,
Republic sstudlos head in New
York, with a notation it is to be
used in "lifting options" of his
players.
Instead of mailing expensive
greeting cards, some stars con
tribute their cost to relief or
ganizations, which sent their own
cards for them and apply the
differential to charities . . . Few
players buy cards ... They start
months ahead to create one that
not only will be amusing and
smart, hut which tops anything
any other fellow can design. . . .
Last year one director mailed
friends a photo of himself in
prison garb . . . James Dunn sent
a mailing piece which, when ful
ly opened, overlapped a 9x12 rug
