Yesterday a crowd of us sprat the day at the Joe Penners', and before the sun had sunk in the west, we all had dramatized what Cantor had in mind "Would you like to chuck a baseball around?" asked Penner.

Spencer Tracy's brother, who had been there before, shook his head warningly at Bobby Crawford and me, but we missed the signal "I'd love to," said Crawford Perhaps if we hadn't just had a snack of ham and beans, topped off with milk chasers, it would have been all right Possibly, too, If any of us had played baseball in the I ELECTRIC REFRlGLKAiuix 7 ED SULLIVAN HOLLYWOOD, June 14 Prima donna of the auto camps Galli Curcl of the Fifth Grade. Those are the titles of nine-year-old Jacqueline Nash, tiny blond Canadian lass whom Samuel Goldwyn recently discovered in a Los Angeles tourist camp and signed for an Important singine role In his current production, "Music School." which stars Jascha Heifetz, world renowned violinist. Product of her mother's training since Jacqueline was "only a child," she says, of 18 months, her voice that won her immediate recognition in Hollywood has been compared favorably by Music Director Alfred Newman and technicians of the sound department to the range," timber and quality of the Immortal Galli Curci. Winter visitors from their home in Toronto, Jacqueline and her mother, Mrs. Ninette Nash, encountered a succession of bad luck which robbed them of their car their sole means of transportation embarrassed them financially and wound up with Mrs.

It was from just such a situation that Jacqueline came to Goldwyn, thence immediately to Join the ranks of his "finds" and enjoy an important place among the cast which Includes Joel McCrea, Walter Brennan, Gene Reynolds and Andrea Leeds.

Tracy and Sullivan won by a hair. ft's the first time I've had a lein'on with Bobby Crawford tinea one memorable afternoon back East when he and Tex Richard beat Billy LaHiff and me at golf at North Hills Richard and LaHiff both have died since, but we were recalling the foursome yesterday Crawford dumped in putts from all ever the green, and Richard was prouder, think, of winning a dosen golf balls than over staging a heavyweight championship fight Poor Tex and Billy They were grand comrades. Every one in Hollywood has a different system and a different preference in exercise Joe Schenck believes in ice cold pool dips Randy Scott walks around a golf course stripped to the waist, and takes a dip in the ocean every morning Cary Grant is another ocean enthusiast, and is always tanned Ben Hecht likes to take a turn at softball Gilbert Roland is a tennis fan and a good player Darryl Zanuck keeps himself in shape via polo, which is no game for a sissy, believe me Spencer Tracy and Frank Whitbeck rent a boat and go out fishing for days at a time Edgar Bergen is a bicycle enthusiast Jack Warner uses tennis and the "Terrible Turk" as a masseur to pound him into shape Charlie Chaplin employs tennis as a conditioner Gable prefers hunting above everything else. Douglas Shearer gets sport and a certain amount of exercise by piloting his own plane Fred A 't aire, Bob Montgomery, Eddie Mannix, L. K.

Sidney, Greg La Cava, Bing Crosby arm golfers, and these California courses are long enough and hilly enough to whip you into condition Groucho Marx, his wife and his son all are tennis players and the son looks as though he might become a national champ Harpo Marx and Chico are golfers. Others of the Hollywood crowd believe that if you take it easy you will, in the natural course of events, last longer, and these sedentary athletes will be found getting their exercise in homeopathic doses at the local race track They find that the task of getting from their boxes to the $2 windows gives them just the proper amount of physical wear and tear, to say nothing of the wear and tear on the bankroll I watched Adolphe Menjou the other day He arrived at the track with Jimmy Townsend, but I doubt that Townsend saw much of Menjou from that point on, because the former Cornellian covered more ground than a gossip column. don't know exactly how old Louis B.

Hollywood Visitors Darryl Zanuck and other bigwigs of the Twentieth Century-Fox film studios slipped into town last niht and the home office will be taken by surprise this morning. Joe Di Maggio clipped all the nice things the critics said about Actress Dorothy Arnold in "The House of Fear" and mailed them out to her. He writes steadily on other subjects to the comely movie player who, they say, may become Mrs.

Di Maggio. Dick Purcell of the fillums thinks that's too informal. He insists upon being tagged as Richard G. Purcell now. Those traffic jams on 39th St.

are caused by the alfresco shows ry the "Pins and Needles" cast. The ex-garment workers have taken to doing rope jumpinK out on the sidewalk to limber up and the crowds form. Bruce Cabot almost had to fight his way but of an autograph mob at the Fair the other night one admiring fan tore the Hollywood player's shirt-tails from their moorings in the melee. The International Casino needs $5500 a day to break even and that's a sizable sum in these parlous times on Broadway. Add to the Neatest Tricks of the Week: The 20.000 Italian soldiers returning from Spain where, according to II Duce.

they never were sent. The Italian Pavilion's power, by the way, is supplied by the tiniest and most powerful motor at the Fair. Parts of it are wrought from solid gold. Scarlet O'Hara is a good reducing role for any actress. Vivien Leigh lost five pounds last week under the hlieg lights.

Just before Rheinhold Schunxel, the film director, fled Germany, he made a picture entitled "Royal Box" which satirized the Nazis, ft was heavily edited, under orders from Der Fuehrer and finally shown. But Schunzel has just sold the idea of filming the original "Royal Box" over here. If the poloi? care to make anything of it, the acrostic formed by the initials of the British team spells "RAGE." Mitzi Green and Frank Parker go all the way out to the boardwalk at Coney island to hold hands. Gladys Cooper and Philip Merivale are commanding the top salaries this summer for appearing in the "straw hat" theaters in their Broadway show, "Spring Meeting." Libby Holman has Great Neck for her appearance there this week in Burlesque" which Chester Erskin, her new dramatic instructor, staged. Moms Hart and George S.

Kaufman have wound tip the first act of the play they're writing for Alexander Wooll-ott, but they refuse to let him see the script until it's finished. Nancy Kelly, who played Gertrude Lawrence's sophomore daughter tn "Susan and God," is in the process of being glamorized, a la Dorothy Lamour. They grow up fast out there on Sunset Blvd. Banker Harvey Gibson's wife is one of the proudest women in all of New York town today, for it was Mrs. Gibson's corsage of orchids, which she smilingly handed to Queen Elizabeth at the Fair on Saturday, that was toted around by her most Royal Majesty all afternoon! Mr' Gibson, by the way, is one of the real powers behind the Whalen throne out Flushing Way.

me John D. Roosevelts will ease the tragedy of that recent loss of their first child by taking one of those lengthy sea-sloop voyages. Bette Davis' net. cinema hoopla has been ticketed In the Warner Brothers' books for a million-dollar budget. William Faulkner, the fiction fashioner, is hard at work upon a new novel down at his Oxford (Miss.) bailiwick and spies report that the theme is more torrid than his "Sanctuary." This column's first report that Attorney General Murphy will probably be selected as Mr.

Roosevelt's running mate in the next Presidential derby, looks well on its way to confirmation; a poll by some of the larger Democratic organizations in the nation last week revealed Mr. Murphy a top heavy choice for the Vice Presidency Joan Crawford Isn't joking about strutting behind the Broadway footlights next semester it'll definitely be either the new Frederick Lonsdale play or the new Kaufman-Hart opus. Johnny Weissmuller best man at Tarzan't forthcoming wedding to Beryl Scot, the San Francisco society girl, will be Stubby Kruger H'ei'imuHer'j water-buffoon sidekick in that comedy sequence out at the "Aquacade." Brenda Frazier approved, but Brenda's mother bristled, over the New Yawhaw profile of the 18-year-old debutante. Society, incidentally, expects that Sarah Derby who has FAMILY (she is a granddaughter of Theodore Roosevelt and a niece of Alice Roosevelt Longworth) replace Brenda as this year's debbid queen. She is eligible from every point of view pretty, a striking figure and a smart manner of wearing clothes.
