Jean Harlow's soft, light voice is well pitched for the "mike," and she has completely banished a tendency to grow shrill when she gets excited. This same tendency was overcome by Fay Wray, who has what sound men call a 100 per cent microphone voice. The most normal voice in pictures, Livadary says, is that of Leslie Howard calm, quiet but distinct. Donald Cook's voice, while low, has an "edge" that occasionally results in metallic harshness.

The subject of being broke came up the other day on a set where George O'Brien, Mary Brian and Herbert Mundin were making scenes for "Ever Since Eve," the story of a millionaire. "I've been broke and hungry many times in Hollywood," O'Brien admitted. "Several times, I washed dishes for a meal. Another time, when extra work was scarce and I was hungry, I pitched hay on a ranch for $2 and lunch.

I must have eaten $1 worth of food every day." Mary Brian said she, too, had known the pangs of hunger and the absence of work. Coming here from Texas a few years ago, Mary and her mother got very near the end of their small bankroll. So they ate grapes, "tons of them," Mary guesses, because they are very filling and very cheap. NOW! Santa.

Paradoxically, It seems, those who have scored in classical drama have a yearning to do slapstick. And contrariwise, who has not heard of Charlie Chaplin's long expressed hope of some day playing Hamlet? There's Lionel Barrymore, for instance, who has played effectively in such widely divergent themes as "Rasputin," "Dinner at Eight" and "Stranger's Return." What he really wants to do before his career ends is to play "The Copperhead" in talkies.

Brother John Barrymore, whose recent successes include "Night Flight" and "Counselor at Law," puts in -with Chaplin in his ambition to portray the mad Dane and in talking pictures, mind you. This was John's greatest stage role and it has a warm place in his heart. FIRST CITY SHOWING NOW! MAN'S ARMS WAS ONLY HALFCOMPLETE!
