Membership in the committee is open to all men interested in choosing what films are to be shown under the Society's auspices.

Redheaded Margie ("Poor Man's Garbo") Hart is a stripteaser who plays Manhattan's theatres and the Midwest burlesque houses. This week she gave 62-year-old Major General William N.

He forbade Norma Shearer the frills she liked, had the idea of turning Joan Crawford from Judy O'Grady into Colonel's lady, overcame a troublesome Garbo trait by observing: "It is difficult to have an evening gown fit properly with the right lines when the person wears low heels." At parties Adrian keeps a keen eye peeled for signs of dowdiness, can be convulsing about it afterwards. Of Tallulah Bankhead he once remarked: "She can wear...
