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.

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."

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.
