Show Star IBust Yesterday's Ghosts Vocal Tragedies Fred and Ginger I By Virginia Vale WANT to see what kind of role Clark Gable drew in his early days of making pictures? Then you'll have to go to "Painted Desert," recently made by RKO-Radio with George O'Brien, originally origi-nally filmed by RKO-Pathe in 1930. Lee Shumway plays the villain originally played by Gable. By way of delving into the past again all the still existing sets that CLARK GABLE were used for pictures made by Mary Pickford and Douglas Fairbanks Fair-banks were demolished the other day. Some of them were nearly 20 years old. They'll make room for a setting for the next Goldwyn production, pro-duction, "The Last Frontier." Pity Carole Lombard. When her pal, Alice Marble, our No. 1 woman tennis player, was winning the Eastern Grass Courts championship at Rye, N. Y., Carole had to depend de-pend on daily telegrams to Inform her of her friend's progress, because be-cause the matches weren't broadcast broad-cast Luckily for her the last one was played on Sunday the strain of trying to work while it was going on would have been terrific! The latest fashion news is to the effect that soon the girls will be wearing adaptations of the styles of 1904 the reason being that Claud-ette Claud-ette Colbert will soon be seen in "Zaza," and that the clothes she wears in the picture are so fetching that everybody's going to want clothes like hers. Felix Knight the young tenor who's being heard more and more often on the air, is going to keep right on until autumn with his nation-wide program that is heard Fridays Fri-days from 6:00 to 6:15, EDST, over NBC's red network. One of the things he gets excited about between be-tween broadcasts, is the number of young people whose voices are being be-ing ruined because they're going to teachers who aren't really good. Says he knows any number of boys and girls in California, where he used to live, who would be successes suc-cesses if only they were properly taught. But he can't tell them how to go about finding really good teachers says that he just happened to be lucky. If you happen to be In New York and want to see some of your favorite fa-vorite radio stars when they're on duty, the place for you to go is the drugstore in the building where the NBC studios are located. Visiting movie folks and stage stars haunt the restaurants, but for some reason the radio stars turn like homing pigeons pig-eons to that drug store. Did you happen to be listening to thg radio while the music from "Carefree." the the new Eogers-Astaire Eogers-Astaire picture, was broadcast with Irving Berlin, Ber-lin, its author, in the studio? It's nice music, and apparently it's also a nice picture pic-ture but still the rumors grow and grow, to the effect ef-fect that Astaire wants a new dancing partner, Fred Astaire and Ginger wants a newleading man. ODDS AND ENDS Fred Ibbett, a veteran in the field of radio production, produc-tion, declares that his line of work young newcomers of any phase of in-dustry in-dustry . . . Tyrone Power had a lot of fun on his trip East one of his engagements en-gagements being for luncheon with Madge Evans . . . Madge, incidentally, has fallen for the new fad of painting her finger nails white . . . Remember Julie Haydon, who left the stage for the movies, and couldn't get anywhere in the movies, and now is a terrific hit on the stage? . . .
