Marlene Dietrich
Star Dust
★ A Western Well Done!
★ Ascending Stars
★ Irresistible Invitation
J—— By Virginia Vale —
npHE people who insisted
A that all Marlene Dietrich
needed to restore her to fa-
vor was one good picture
have been proved right. “Des-
try Rides Again” has done it.
Paramount, after letting her
go, has engaged her again,
this time to appear in Cecil
B. DeMille’s “North West
Mounted Police”
She will have a role for which
Dorothy Lamour was slated before
“D e s t r y”— ............
and Marlene T *wr
—rode again;
the fact that
the charac-
ter is named
“Loupet t e”
suggests that
provision has
been made
for the for-
eign accent.
As for the
picture,
“D e s t r y
Rides Again”
you might
call it a super-
Western and
not be far wrong. There’s nothing
super about the plot; it’s one of the
good old standbys. But Producer Joe
Pasternak, who is largely responsi-
ble for Deanna Durbin’s success,
defied precedent when it came to
casting, and gave the leading roles
to two people to whom they wouldn’t
seem to belong.
James Stewart, fresh from the
laurels won as the Mr. Smith who
went to Washington, and Miss Diet-
rich, who was over-given to posing,
have turned in beautiful perform-
ances.
And don’t forget that a very able
man named George Marshall direct-
ed it; no matter how good the ac-
tors were, a less capable director
could have made a mess of things.

An inside picture of the New York
Stock exchange is to be presented
over Columbia’s network Saturday,
December 30. The on-the-scene
broadcast, coming dramatically at
the end of the year’s trading, was
said by stock exchange officials to
be the first radio program to origi-
nate on the floor .of the world’s
greatest organized stock market for
securities. The broadcast will trace
the steps from the time a customer
puts in his order to the time he
^reaj'ivos his receipt.
Allan Jones is sitting pretty; his
contract with Paramount has been
renewed for
three more
pictures.
‘‘The Great
Victor Her-
bert” gave
| him the right
opportunity
to show what
he could do,
and also add-
ed a rung to
|||| those that
7 Mary Martin
’""""1 has success-
fully climbed
since she
Mary Martin sang ‘‘My
Heart Be-
longs to Daddy” in a theatrical pro-
duction and made a hit overnight.
Hollywood didn’t want her at first;
couldn’t see that she had any pos-
sibilities. Now she’s being pushed
along as fast as she can go. Her
next picture will be “Miami”; after
that she’ll star in “Kiss the Boys
Goodby.”
—1 ^ —
Toss bouquets at Greta Garbo, not
merely for her performance in
“Ninotchka,” but for being so quiet
about bringing her family to this
country; they flew from New York
to California, and she’s bought a
home out in the country for them.
It doesn’t seem possible, but Jane
Withers has started her sixth year
on the Twentieth Century-Fox lot.
She’s being co-starred with Gene
Autrey in “Shootin’ High.”

A piece of wedding cake reached
this desk the other day, in a little
box bearing the name of one of
New York’s smartest caterers. The
enclosed card read “Mr. and Mrs.
Harry Davis,” and in one corner,
“At Home, CBS 12:15 P. M., EST”
“When a Girl Marries.” Who could
resist a radio program that has so
attractive an announcement?
--
The polls show that from 10 to
12 million people in the United
States tune in on the Ford Sunday
Evening Hour each week; others in
Canada are tuned to American sta-
tions to catch it, and recently seven
stations in Mexico were linked to
the broadcast network.

ODDS AND ENDS—When Dorothy
Lamour sings over the air she has a
violinist playing so near to her that
his bow grazes her ear . . . Ilona Mas-
sey, who co-starred with Nelson Eddy
in “Balalaika,” is following his example
and going on a concert tour; she starts
the first of the year . . . “The House-
keeper’s Daughter” isn’t half so bad as
Joan Bennett’s protests would make it
appear.

History’s Biggest Bang
The blowing up of the volcanic?
island of Krakatoa, in August,.
1883, provided the biggest explo-
sion in history. Two-thirds of the*
island “went west,”- and the ca-
tastrophe caused huge waves that,
traveled half round the earth. The
air disturbance was also terrific*,
and scientists estimate that air
waves went seven times round,
the world. The sea rose 50 feet*:
and rushed up the beaches of Java.
and Sumatra, destroying 300 vil-
lages and drowning over 30,00(1*
people.
