In more than 20 years of Hollywood reporting I have not known more than half-a-dozen stars able to avoid being the target for someone's jealous resentment and hate. Perhaps the most notable of that half-dozen was Charles "Buck'' Jones, the veteran cowboy who lost his life in the Boston nightclub holocaust. Messmore, Pa. Dec. 7, 1942.

Nine times out of ten, its funeral orations are as phony as the script writer's tear-jerking scenes. But the eulogies to Buck Jones were delivered before his death--by the little people of the industry as well as by the big shots. He was a star for nearly two decades, subject to all the poisonous envies that flourish- here yet I never heard Impressive Programs Planned At Puritan And Mt.
