Written and directed by Preston Sturgis, with a cast including Muriel Angelus. Brian Donlevy and Akim Tamiroff, it is the "saga of a bum." It may be the making of a new star. Muriel Angelus. In England she is one of the foremost musical It’s the custom, in a great many clubs, to draw the season to a grace­ ful close with a churmlng spring tea. If you're chairman of the re­ freshment committee for that de­ lightful social function of your or­ ganization, why not plan to make "In the Time of Roses" the theme ■ong for your tea? Use roses here, there and every­ rose-pink damask where . . cloth with rose pattern; rose- sprigged china; a great bowl of real roses for the cen­ terpiece. and can­ died rose petals to decorate the tiny cakes. When you plan the refreshments, allow at least three sandwiches and two little cakes (or cookies) for each guest, ■nd ■ pound of mints or salted nuts for each 25 guests. If the tea is • large one, you'll need two platters of sandwiches, two of cakes and one dish each of mints and nuts, on the table at one time, and make sure that for each platter on the table there's at least one full one in the kitchen to take Its place Choose an Interesting variety of dainty sandwiches tor your tea.

Father and son had gone togeth­ er to a bazaar where a pretty girl was selling kisses in aid of local charity. “My boy,” said the father slyly, "here’s a dollar bill, You go and kiss her. When I was young, you can bet I made ’em scream.” The son left his father, and shortly after returned in a high state of satisfaction. "Well, did you kiss her, Son?” asked the father. "Yes, you can bet I did. Dad,” was the reply. "And did you make her scream?” “Scream? I’ll say so! I kept the dollar.” I MURIEL ANGELL’S comedy stars; she played the lead in “Balalaika” on the stage there— you’ll recall that Nelson Eddy and Ilona Massey did the picture ver­ sion. She has been in this country for two years; last year, while sing­ ing on the New York stage in "The Boys From Syracuse,” she was signed up by Paramount, and “The Light That Failed,” with Ronald Colman, was her first picture. Then she did “Safari” and “The Way of All Flesh." followed them with "Down Went McGinty.” 4 When John Barrymore seemed to be unavailable for the role of John Barrymore In "The Great Profile,” at Twentieth Century-Fox, Adolphe Menjou was engaged for It. Then Barrymore's plans changed, he took the part, and Menjou took his sal­ ary, as the studio had no other pic­ ture ready for him. ----- *---- Rod Cameron, a young, six-foot Canadian, went to Los Angeles a year ago to learn the dime store business. That didn't work out very well, so he quit, took up little theater work, and now finds himself acting for Paramount. Death brought him his first role, that of “Corporal Underhill" in Cecil B DeMille's "Northwest Mounted Police.” Earl Askam. a fotmer stage star and war hero, was to have played it. but he died recent­ ly of a heart attack, and young Cameron (whose real name is Rod Cox) was summoned for it By a grisly coincidence, the role includes a death scene, but he's so elated over getting the part that he can’t afford to be superstitious. Now that they need passports to sail for a tour of South America, it has been discovered that many of Toscanini's NBC Symphony musi­ cians are men without a country. It seems that there was a general impression among them that1 all they had to do to become American citizens was to file their intentions of doing so; now they're not Amer­ icans. and. as they renounced their native lands, they don't legally be­ long anywhere. ----- *----- George Brent, working in Warner Brothers’ “The Sentence,” offers to put up *10.000 at 10 to 1 odds that he won’t marry for another three years. "That's no reflection on Ann.” he says, meaning Ann Sheri­ dan, whom gossips have him wed­ ding soon. “It’s Just that I'm going to wind up my picture contract then, and I’m not making any mar- riagc plans until I do.” Miss Sheridan (working in "They Drive by Night," same studio) is equally vehement, “George and I haven’t even discussed getting mar­ ried.” says she. But—it's the kiqd of buildup that so often leads to an elopement, in Hollywood! ----- *----- Carl Hoff, on the CBS Al Pearce show, drew an impressive crowd the other day and wished he hadn't. He parked his new coupe and then tried to get out of it, and couldn’t. He went through assorted acrobatic convulsions, thrusting his feet and arms out of the windows in all pos­ sible combinations, while the crowd offered advice hilariously. The new coupe has patent thief-locks on its doors. Only after he had struggled till he was limp did it occur to Hoff to pass the key to one of the amused bystanders. T'HIS dress has a beautiful line * -slim-hipped, high-busted, ex­ actly the silhouette in which wom­ en’s sizes look best. And it’s so simply designed! The bodice is fitted in with long darts above the waistline, and gathered just be­ neath the shoulders, where nar­ row ruffles add a soft, dressy touch, without any suggestion of width or weight. The paneled skirt flows into graceful fullness at the hem, accenting the narrow­ hipped look.
