Paramount's version of the life and times of the young ladies ' will be called "Washington Esca- j pade." Metro bought a story called "Whit House Girl," by Ruth Finney, Fin-ney, wife of a newspaper man. Every so often somebody has to ! screen Rex Beach's "The Spoilers." It was done in 1925 with William Farnum and Tom Sanehcy staging ; the fist fight that made it famous. Paramount did it in 1930 with Gary Cooper. Now Universal will make it once again this time with Randolph Ran-dolph Scott and John Wayne in the he-man roles, and Marlene Dietrich as the heroine. Another re-make scheduled for the Dear future is "Mrs. Wiggs of the ; Cabbage Patch," which was last : made by Paramount, in 1934, with j I W. C. Fields, Pauline Lord and Vir- ginia Weidler.

The movies are an old story to Frances Robinson; at the age of ! four she played Lillian Gish as a Child in "Orphans of the Storm." More recently, she appeared in "Smiling Through." Now she's left pictures for the radio; she's the giddy gid-dy debutante in the air's version of the delightful "My Man Godfrey."
