BY DASHIELL HAMMETT. Hollywood, Nov. 7.

It's a shame that a nice town and a lot of nice people should have gone so violently energetic. When I was scribbling In the studios, some three years ago, life was quite calm and peaceful. One could sit back in a comfortable chair, gaze with a slightly jaundiced tye at slightly too much sunshine. Write once in a while, or just sit. But something has happened to Hollywood In the Interim of my absence.

Now I am quite exhausted picking up the paper plugs with which I have carefully plugged my phone bell. My Hollywood friends are ringing it. so hard that no amount of stuffing can stifle its din. If they'd just call up and say, "Old boy. we've got a nice quiet spot where the sleeping is particularly good" would be right aown my alley.

But no. have become so amazingly energetic I Along about 8:30 a. lust when fcleep becomes particularly enjoyable, there will come a jingle. A disgustingly healthy voice will say, with trmt sort of cheeriness which is so hard to take. 8:30 in the morning.

out guy. lrt's have a couple of sets of tennis." I long for those quieter days of the old Hollywood when a man who vanted to do nothing, could do it without interference or prejudice. Today one "simply doesn't belong" if one doesn't polo, or golf, or yacht, or badminton. take this sporting goods catalogue and you name them. In fact, the fad for good old red blood, sparkling health and jollv cold showers has so spread over Hollywood that it has somewhat put a blight on the place.

Once a Hollywood party used to be a party. Now you see gentlemen, who have no prejudice at. all against a good drink, firmly turning 4own their glasses: "Sorry. I have a big polo game tomorrow. And its 11 o'clock, I must be coining.

Got to keep in shape, you Know!" I'm not so sure that verv soon now my old friend, Nick Charles, won't have to come to Hollywood ior a little sleuthing. Some day, some chap who loves his sleep is going to be called early some mornine. say sevenish, "for 36 holes of golf." Alongside his golf sticks will be found the phoning sportsman, cold in death. And a new mystery plot will have had its birth. (Copyright, 1934.

By NANA, Inc.) IJallet Russe Dancer Acclaimed for Beauty Although her name has not been so widely publicized as those of the other three leading girl dancers of the Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo, Vera Zorina has been acclaimed by the audiences of three continents not only for her artistry but for her beauty. Dark Tamara Toumanova is the unquestioned darling of ballet-lovers. Irina Baronova is famous for her swallow-like foucttes. Eighteen-year-old Tatiana Riabouchinska has had probably more offers of marriage than any other girl of her generation, but to graceful Zorina goes credit for one of the loveliest figures in the history of the Russian ballet. Zorina, with these ballerinas, and with the male stars.
