Show ! STAR ; DUST J f Movie Radio J By VIRGINIA VALE SO GREAT has been the success of "A Star Is Born," all the Hollywood studios are busy making pictures pic-tures concerning the private lives of film stars. Just copy cats, that's what the film producers pro-ducers are. First one of these pictures to reach the screen is "Hollywood Cowboy" with George O'Brien as the star and It is a very entertaining enter-taining Western. Most pretentious of them all is "Stand In" which boasts Leslie Howard and Joan Blondell In the cast. Most soothing to the ears Is "Music for Madame" in which Nino Martini lifts his voice in song, and the biggest novelty Is Grand National's "Something to Sing About." Divorces don't Interfere with business busi-ness tudement in Hollywood. For f' ' ; i Instance, when William Wil-liam Wyler was, asked what player he would like to have in the leading role of "Having a Wonderful Time" he said that only Margaret Mar-garet SuUavan, his ex - wife, had the beauty and acting 1 skill required for the role. Up spoke Hen- ' ry Fonda, another ex-husband of Margaret's, Mar-garet's, to say that Margaret ; Sullavan 1 I he would like to play opposite her. i So, Just to complete the cycle, they telephoned her present husband, Le- j land Hayward, who Is her manager, : and asked him if she would be free j to make the picture before going 1 back to New York for stage en- gagements and he said he would be ' happy to arrange It. j "The Toast of New York" star- ! ring- Frances Farmer U a f&sclnat- : ing picture. It deals with the picturesque pic-turesque period when Jim Fisk was becoming a big shot In Wall Street, when business men went around brandishlne bucry whips when they weren't conniving- to fet control of ' a railroad, or wreck each other's fortunes. All over the country bcx-cfT.ce ; records arc being broken by "Sara-, "Sara-, toga." the picture cn which Jean H.irlow was working at the time cf ; her tragic death. Her fans vej',J be hapjiier, I think, to see one cf , her o'.d pictures again, a gay. l.qht-I l.qht-I hearted picture hke "Bombshell" or "Reckless." for In "Saratoga" she Is but a pallid shadow of her former ; self. j Af:er arguing for weeks about her salary demands. RKO have at last ! signed Ruby Kocler to make two j pictures a year for them. She won't be In the next Fred Astaire p:c-j p:c-j hire, however, for Joan Fontaine ! has that leading role nailed down. Joan has been working 1 ke a ' beaver, taking dancing and s-.r.ginc . lessons preparing for this 1 chance. Ruby's first will be "Love ( I'elow Free.-ing."
