Show Beverly Hills Well all I know ! Just what I read in the papers, or what I see as I orowl from here to there. Every time I get a new Picture finished why I kinder feel the itch to get out to some new place or make some sort of a little trip. Anyway a couple of weeks ago, we had finished fin-ished "As young as you feel," based on George Ada s old play "Father and the Boys". I was going to take a little trip off down in Central America, and then they kept me at home for fear there might be some re-takes on it You know when we get one made we then take them out and show em, sometimes at a couple of different towns to see if they are fit to release, and sometimes we have to change something or make tome new Scenes. The way I had it planned I would have been in Managua, Nicaragua on the day after the quake, was going go-ing to stoD over and see what the marines was doing down there, and I would have been on the spot for quite a little news, for they sure have had it tough down there. Well we took the thing out and tried it in San Bernldlno, Cal., and the customers cus-tomers giggled quite a bit, so that let me get away. You know this Radio had made it mighty fine to find out about whats ahead. You see its never the weather you take off In its the weather where you have to go through after you take off. I remember re-member one trip on our late tour with Captain Frank Hawkes when we took off one day In a snow storm in New Mexico when you Just couldent see a thing, not two hundred hun-dred feet, and it was that way flying fly-ing blind for tlie next hour, but he had heard before that it was clear in Albequrque where we were going. go-ing. I left Los Angeles from over In San Fernando valley on the American Ameri-can Airways Just at daybreak on Easter morning. They were having Easter sunrise services in the Hollywood Bowl. Well tho Sunrise bunch dldent get much started that day I am afraid. You know California can get more people Into something free than any place on earth. Course that particular thing was a very meritorious cause, and is a good idea it you live in a country. where you can depend on the weather. Speaking of services and religious reli-gious gatherings why we been missing miss-ing Aimee lately. She Is away oC prowling around some place, and we cant hardly figure her out Her Church Is running, but it without with-out Aimee is like the modern Girl without her lipstick, it Just alnt her at all. With Aimee away for all this stretch, and Clara Bow on her best behavior and me behaving myself, why there Just Is not much scandal out there at all. Doug Fairbanks Is over In India getting even with some India Royalty that visited him one time. He is supposed to be shooting Tigers, but anybody that knows Doug knows that he never hunted in his life, he never shot anything, but If he can come back wit' some pictures with the right foot up on the neck of a dead Tiger or Elephant why It will be all right Mary is kinder ranting around. There Is some club out there called the Mayfair, that has some sort of a shindig every week, and they put on fights, I mean Impromptu Impromp-tu fights, people get mad at each other after they get there, and they always open and close their dance with a fight. Well we have all been shocked to death to find SFtraAMSTrj Ha Mary among, (Not the fighters) but among the guests, she has a ring sida table at every public braw! they have. Doug has got to come home and put her to work, keep her out of devilment. Chick Sale Is out our way. I am figureing with him to put me In one up at the Ranch. He is working out the design now. You would be surprised the trade that he has, he has Just practically quit acting, and Is specializing entirely. It was too bad; he is a fine Comedian too, one of the best that ever left the stage. But this new work is high class, and not hard. Its mostly Just consulting, con-sulting, and working out architect-, ual plans. I wish I could hit on some side line, that would stop me having to Just keep digging away day after day. Its certainly made a fortune for him. You would be surprised at his prices. He has an office in Hollywood, and is doinf practically all Beverly Hills work. You Just have to have em done by Sales or they wont be patronized. Lucky Guy. O 1931, McXufht Syndicalr, Inc.) |
