VERNONIA EAGLE, VERNONIA, OREGON TAR DUST MOVIE AND RADIO £ — By VIRGINIA VALE-------- —— NNA STEN seems to be badly in need of an adviser; since A Samuel Goldwyn bought her and let her go (and it’s reported that he paid her $130,000 rather than make any more off Laemmle, Sr., but of course he's only the owner, so nobody pays any attention to his remarks. —k— "Our Little Girl” isn’t up to the Shirley Temple level, but her ad mirera zon’t mind that; she’s good, as always. —k— Remember Patsy Ruth Miller, she’s turned writer with a venge ance. After selling several short stories, she’s signed up with Samuel Goldwyn to do some special work on "Barbary Coast,” which he is going to film at last. pictures with her), she's been sort of getting in wrong.

And do you remember the picture —k— that was made of the last Byrd up, and apparently quite bored. I’ve often wondered who listened She told the audience that she didn't know why she was there, and they didn’t seem to care whether she knew or not. Scheduled to make a talk before a Notre Dame association, she Just backed out. The rest of the tour was canceled. As for making any more pic tures, she has announced that Hol lywood producers wanted her to re duce, and that she won’t play “flat chested American girls” ; she would like to find a story in which she’ll be a buxon heroine. Perhaps she’s Just bewildered; that wouldn't be surprising, after all the ballyhoo that went with her launching in pictures here. She’s up against a tough problem, because she doesn’. know where to go If she leaves America ; she can’t very well go to Russia .. id her busband Isn’t In favor In Germany. Perhaps Columbia will take her in hand and make her a star of the first water, so far at the box office Is concerned. They have a way of doing such things at that studio. If they’d give her a half-way de cent story and Frank Capra as di rector, she’d be a success. Capra could make a success of anyone. to those cooking programs on the radio; most of the housewives I know are so busy that they can’t manage It, because the radio is in the living room and they're likely to be almost anywhere else in the house when those progfams go on. Now I know. Last week I was waiting for a ferry that plies between Delaware and New Jersey, and parked next the car was a truck, with two brawny young men on the seat. They turned the dials of their ra dio until a silvery voice floated out on the air, saying “Now it’s time to see if the waffles are done No, not quite!” Then they sat back contentedly and listened till the program was over!

Ancient Tax Record An ancient papyrus discovered in Egypt is believed to record taxes paid by noblemen and landowners, the national income derived from public works and a record of tithes received from the common people in Egypt about 3,000 years ago. —k — Not, that Virginia Bruce has finally received her decree of di vorce from John Gilbert there are all sorts of rumors as to whom she’ll marry next.

It’s funny, the way girls who tackle Hollywood and don’t get as far as they'd like to are able to re turn and take the town by storm after they’ve made good in New York. Julie Haydon didn’t make much progress In Hollywood, perhaps be cause she was known as the girl who looked like Ann Harding. She left for New York, where she was leading lady In “The Scoundrel,” in which Noel Coward played the lead, and she gave a beautiful per formance perhaps because Coward rehearsed all her scenes with her before she did them. Now she’s all set to play the lead in “Profession al Lady" for Paramount, and to play opposite Gary Cooper in “The Light That Failed." —k— Marguerite Swope grew up in Holly wood and did quite a bit of dancing in pictures, but the wanted to act, and Hollywood wouldn’t recognise her ar an actress. So she went to New York and made a name lor herself on the stage. She returned to California to visit her family, and Paramount signed her up for “The Last Outpost," in which she’ll work with Cary Grant, Gertrude Michael and Claude Rains. The funny part of that was that she wasn't al all anxious to make a pic ture, as she was fairly well set to do a play in New York in the fall. —k— You can obtain a full size 20c package of Milnesia Wafers containing twelve full adult doses by furnishing us with the name of your local druggist if he Incidentally, what a swell part does not happen to carry Milnesia Wafers in stock, by enclosing 10c in the hero of “The Light That coin or postage stamps.
