Show By VIRGINIA VALE (Released by Western Newspaper Union.) HPHE question of who owns A Dorothy Lamour's hair has become a burning issue. It isn't the hair that Dorothy had left when her famous long locks were removed, but the tresses that fell to the floor when she won the victory vic-tory to have her hair bobbed. She bobbed it for Paramount's "Moon Over Burma," you'll recall. Instantly the studio's publicity department de-partment requested the make-up department de-partment to save the shorn locks; they knew that thousands of requests for a lock of Dorothy's hair would pour in. The requests poured, all right. But when the head of the publicity department de-partment sent for the hair, the make-up department replied that it was in the possession of Dorothy's mother, Mrs. O. L. Castleberry. Mrs. Castleberry had protested bitterly bit-terly against the shearing, and to appease her Dorothy had taken her the long and lovely locks. Now the question is does the studio stu-dio own those locks, or are they the rightful property of Mrs. Castleberry, Castleber-ry, who refuses to give them up. Humphrey Bogart just goes from bad to worse, so far as his work is concerned. Years ago he made a hit in his first important role in the stage play: "Cradle Snatchers," in which he played the very juvenile I. "N " ' v'''- 1 I v v$ ' V I XV7 A J i HUMPHREY BOGART escort of Mary Boland. Jeanette MacDonald's husband, then known as Raymond Guion, was another very youthful and capable member of the cast. But the movies have turned Bogart Bo-gart into one of our most sinister villains. In his new picture, "High Sierra," he's more villainous than ever. One of his milder acts is to crack the heads of two "goons" who cause trouble in his "mob." Two years ago the Song Hit guild of New York set out to prove that amateurs can write hit songs. The guild's record proves what a grand idea that was. In less than 18 months 18 unknown authors and composers received accredited ac-credited publication, advance royalties royal-ties and contracts equal to those given established professionals. The list of their songs includes the popular popu-lar "Can't Get Indiana Off My Mind," "I'm on the Verge of a Merge," and "What Ev'ry Young Girl Should Know," featured a while ago on the Hit Parade. The Song Hit guild is now conducting con-ducting its third nation-wide search for talent. If you're interested, send your manuscript to the Song Hit guild, 1619 Broadway, New York city, at once. An advisory board headed by Paul Whiteman, Guy Lombardo, Billy Rose and Kay Ky-ser Ky-ser passes on all songs, and writers requiring such help are invited to collaborate with hit songwriters like Hoagy Carmichael, Jimmy McHugh and others of equal note. Radio artists are reviving an old parlor game as a means of wuiling away off-time in the studios, but they play it with radio programs instead of the titles of books "or songs. Turning to the radio page of a newspaper, they run the titles of radio programs together to make a story in sentences like this "Blon-die, "Blon-die, Meet Mr. Meek, Light of the World!" Marjorie Anderson is calling her new home on the outskirts of Philadelphia Phila-delphia "The house that shadows built." Married, mother of a two-year-old daughter, and wife of a successful construction engineer, she commutes to New York for her work on Mutual Broadcasting System's Sys-tem's Shadow program, and has earned enough to pay the rent for a year, landscape the grounds, and furnish the house.
