STOP PRESS FROM HOLLYWOOD
Clipper Continues To Bring Film News To CBS ISTENERS are appreciative of the service which the Commercial Broadcasting Service gives them, and when it had the fore« sight to appoint Howard C. Brown as its official Hollywood correspondent, and to in struct him to forward by the Pan-American Clipper each month the latest Hollywood news, they were eager to learn the latest news from Filmland’s capital city. The result has been that up-to-the-minute news is coming through the ZB stations, ,since Mr. Brown is an accredited visitor to all the studios, and his bulletins indicate that he is on friendly terms with all the stars, directors and producers. "Did you know," he says, "that Monty Banks became an American citizen on July 9? The Hollywood censor’s office, which has always okayed photos of Dorothy Lamour in her sarong, this week refused to pass three photos of Miss Lamour in thé modern shorts she wears in ‘Moon Over Burma’... Madeleine Carroll looks so beautiful in Technicolour in ‘North-west Mounted Police’ that Paramount will spend an additional quarter of a million dollars to photograph her next :pice ture ‘Virginia’ in Technicolour . . . Rod la Rocque, the silent pictures star, will appear before the camera for the first time in years in Frank Capra’s ‘ Meet John Doe’ ....Fred. Perry, who doesn’t think much of the Hollywood tennis stars, bet Gilbert Roland, the best of them, that he could beat him. 6-0, 6-0, in two straight sets. It took Perry four and a-half hours one day last week to beat Roland in one set and the score was 7-S 40+ Lana Turner and Artie Shaw posed in loveydovey pictures to announce their divorce. Ie isn’t Hollywood that’s queer, but some of the people that live there . . ." says Mr, Brown, The Commercial Broadcasting Service presents this programme in an endeavour to keep listeners posted with the latest news from Hollywood, "Stop Press From Hollywood" is a programme worth following, and at 2ZB it is broadcast at $,15 ‘p.m. each Saturday while at the other stations it is incorporated in the Film News of the Week.
