Sally Eilers is charming as the heroine of the new picture, and Cliff Edwards and his trusty ukulele add attraction with "Sing" and other songs. In the entertainment scene in the theatre behind the lines he, Miss Eilers and Keaton stage an excruciating "act". An excellent supporting cast is seen in the other roles. Heard in Hollywood!

There'll be ducking for apples and popping popcorn and all sorts of gay doings at the Joan Crawford - Doug Fairbanks menage on Hallowe'en. Joan, incidentally, has been gringing her lunch to the studios to keep strictly to her diet! And talking of diet brings weights to mind, which in turn reminds one of heights and the fact that Norma Shearer, Bessie Love, Dorothy Jordan, Joan Marsh and Raquel Torres are the smallest girls at the Culver City Studios -- they all range from five feet one inch to five feet two and a half inches. Adolphe Menjou is trying to promote a new picture star -- Fanchette, his elongated but very active Scotch terrier, who, he claims, for beauty and talent should be in the famous Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Barkie company. And, anent that Barkie company, Buster, the hero of this remarkable crew of canines, is the proud father of a litter of puppies. One is so identical to him that he is being trained to take his father's place later on. Out Hollywood way, Cecil B.
