Sometimes he is in well-worn riding clothes, holding forth by the fire with a whiskey and soda in animated discussion of the coming fight for President; again he is in chaps, stretched out on the couch in the French study, weary from a round-up of cattle.

Role for Scott Randolph Scott, who hails from Virginia, will portray still another Washington in "Benedict Arnold," which Wesley Ruggles will direct as an intimate document rather than as a story of battle and murder and sudden death. Claudette Colbert will play Peggy Shippen, while the actor to portray the man who rose from smuggler, horse trader, druggist, bookseller to military genius and Washington's right hand man, has not yet been chosen. We nominate Edward Arnold for the role. No one in Hollywood could beat him! Merian C. Cooper is also up against it in this all-important matter of casting.

Having decided to film "The Smile of Mona Lisa" in color, the question now is where is the actress suited to play the alluring lady of the enigmatic smile which Producer Cooper vows he will interpret on the screen for the first time? "What do you think of Merle Oberon for the role?" your correspondent was asked by a member of the Cooper staff? "She's too real, too wholesome and English countrysidish." was our response, for while Merle Oberon can make herself up rather exotic with those eyes of hers and do things to her eyes and brow, her, mouth is far too honest for a baffling the National Theatre, and La i an on the screen. Last of Mohicans Reliance Pictures is assembling a notable cast for "The Last of the Mohicans," headed by Randolph Scott, Binne Barnes, Heather Angel, Don Alvarado, Bruce Cabot. "Rob-insc Crusoe" also is to be produced by this studio as a 15-chapter serial with the Eskimo, Mala, as the star, and Rex, king of the wild horses, to appear. Won't that be something new in Westerns for the small boys' raves? Jack London's "John Barleycorn" is on the 20th Century-Fox schedule. No cast yet for this powerful preachment against alcohol, but it is likely Victor McLaglen will star in it.

Meanwhile, he is to be loaned Universal for a very different characterization a two-fisted song writer in "Everybody Sings." America's dauntless enterprise In aviation is to be picturized in "China Clipper" by Warners. Cameras started cranking on the story by Commander Frank Wead on Monday, with a cast including Pat O'Brien, Beverly Roberts, Ross Alexander and Humphrey Bogart. Adolphe Menjou is to be seen next in the forthcoming 20th Century-Fox musical, "Sing, Baby, Sing." and Jack Haley is being featured by Hal Roach in "Mr Cinderella." "Dimples" is to be Shirley Temple's next and will introduce Darryl Zanuko's newest Broadway find Muriel Robert. Shirley, by the way, celebrated her 7th birthday last week with a laugh and many tears. After the birthday party was over at the studio, the baby star was whirled away with i her cake and lots of toys and goodies to the Children's Orthopedic Hospital, where she put on a program of dance and song for the tiny patients.

If it is difficult to find real "states men" in political life, it is a greater problem in Hollywood to get actors convincingly characterize these idolized heroes of the early, momen tous days or American nisiory. George Washington seems to present the harder job in casting. For Rupert Hughes story on the Washington, your scribe hears a rumoi Franchot Tone may play the First President.

What do you think that? Claude King has been chosen for Washington in "Servant of the Peo- featurette drama of the turbu times before and after the cre ation of the Constitution.

Ci TUT if 7" A i WA mam with GREGORY a (Let Miserable Including 43 paintings and almost comj4e et of prints, the most comprehensive exhibit ever held in New England of the art of Paul Gauguin, the modern French artist r.otsd especially for his Tahitian will open today at the Fogg Art Museum of Harvard University on Quincy st. Cambridge, and will continue through May 21. O.T.cials of the Boston chapter of the Museum of Art. which arranged the snowing, say that it is comparable to the recent Van Gosh exhibition that broke attendance records at the Boston Museum of Fine Arts. The display of paintings are elected to illustrate his art in France and Tahiti.

It will not be shown again as a unit and has been seen only in New York at the gallery of it Co. who made possible the exhibit here. The announcement points out that the exhibit Is really a sequel to the Van Gogh exhibit since the two men were friends and together in their break with the impressionist "cul-de-sac." The announcement reads In part: "The exhibition at the Fogg Museum shows in fitting sequence the developments which led up to those later paintings so frequently thought of from a decorative point of iew. They do, indeed, have the linear and color quality of a Coptic textile or Persian miniature, but the love of 'the people" which Is so apparently in Gauguin's life Is readily apparent in these paintings. The paintings done in Aries during Gauguin's stay with V.Ani Gogh are as saturated with psy-rholcgical content as those of the Breton and Tahitian periods.

"New England may turn with Interest, then, to this friend of Van Gogh and fellow innovator, this one-time stock broker, who. having become the perfect bohemian. broke, as did Cezanne. Seurat and Van Gogh, with Impressionism to establish for himself and a large following theories of synthesism which were to find root and grow In such contemporaries as Matisse, Vlaminck, Derain and Friesz."

Billie Burke and Stone Bille Burke, who had the joy of playing Will Rogers" wife on the screen, is now to appear as the wife of his best friend, Fred Stone, in "Gentlemen's Choice," which is adapted from "The Old-Timer." The picture starts shooting at Paramount May 4, with Ketti Gallian playing a Russian dancer in a cabaret.

Stone, who has been signed to an exclusive long term contract by RKO, has only played in two pictures there while he has been on constant loan outside. He and his One Night)t HERBERT MUNDIN PRODUCTION vpfaeum family have adopted California and are building a ranch home on a five-acre tract in San Fernando Valley. Each of the Stone girls, including Dorothy, who is married to Charles Collins, will have a separate suite and 'entrance. The Stones and Rogers are constantly together. Mrs Rogers will need their companionship more than ever as Mary Rogers and her aunt, who always chaperones her, leave Saturday for another Summer of stock at Lakewood, Me.

Mary has turned down several picture offers to gain further experience in stock; another Winter in New York and then she plans to crash the movie 1 gates in earnest. She has recovered completely from her breakdown," has been flying around in society on the West Coast, and returns to work refreshed in body and mind. Her father's death practically prostrated Mary. Owen Davis Jr, with whom I chatted a few days ago at RKO where he is completing the title role in "His Majesty, Bunker Bean," tells me there is nothing whatever in the romantic rumors linking his name with Mary Rogers'. "We've been great friends for years," he assured me, "never at any time have we been in love.

I'll miss Mary; we played together at Lakewood two Summers. And after five consecutive seasons there, I'll miss the stock company, too. But I'm flying back in July to appear in an old play of father's "Ice Bound" for a week. He always has wanted to see me in it." Owen, who is doing fine in Hollywood, believes there is no training in the theatre more valuable than Summer stock experience in New England. He frequently runs into big names in Hollywood which started as little names back there, and has promised to make me out a list for the "New England in Hollywood" strip.

SNAPSHOTS Hollywood's greatest lovers today are Loretta Young-Eddie Sutherland, Cary Grant-Mary Brian. Jean Harlow-William Powell, Dick Powell-Joan Blondell, and believe it or not, Carole Lombard and Clark Gable! With Spring in the air. the last Mayfair Ball turned man's fancy considerably toward the romantic bowers of flowers erected over each table, transforming the ballroom into a garden from Louisa May Al-cott. Joan Bennett hostessed the party this -time, to which all the girls came in print dresses. Speaking of flowers, the demand for flower trims on gowns and hats is so urgent that MGM's wardrobe department has installed 10 expert flower makers.

Omar Kiam, however, uses fresh flowers on his creations. Latest innovation in eateries in Hollywood is "home-cooking-by-motorcycle messenger." A famed Italian chef operates the novel service, the idea for which was suggested to him by Merle Oberon. He has no cafe just a huge kitchen, while his waiters are dare-devil motorcyclists. Food is dispatched in casseroles, and special rates are made to extras both at the studio and home. B.

SEES FAVORABLE BUSINESS OUTLOOK Collins Warns on Effort to Depress Stock Market NEW YORK, April 30 (A P) A declaration that the immediate business outlook is "extremely favorable" was coupled by Kenneth Collins, department store executive, with a suggestion tonight that "sinister influences" might be depressing the stock market ior political purposes. If such influences are at work, he predicted their activities would react as a boomerang. Collins, vice president of Gimbel Brothers, Inc.

told members of the Association of Advertising Men he was no stock market prophet, but: "When statement after statement showing vast improvement in profit is being issued, I for one cannot understand why the market should continue to go down. "It is said that the market discounts the future. But I know of no business man who has any doubt of the certainty of the upward trend of business for a fairly long term future. "Business news, trends and indications for the immediate future are extremely favorable and I am convinced that, in the present instance at least, the normal, sound business man is not going to be affected in his faith in the future of his business by anything as farcical as the present stock market." Expressing dissatisfaction with the "usual ready explanations" for the decline fo the last two weeks, Collins said: "If bv any chance there is a com bination of sinister influences at work to depress the market for purely political purposes, I believe these influences are in for a terrific disappointment. "And if one of their complaints is the injection of politics into business, then they have no right to inject business, through Wall Street, into politics and you may be sure that if they are successful in making the public believe that business is bad, through newspaper reports of a falling stock market, the whole scheme is apt to work as a boomerang and they are likely to find the public blaming business itself for the drop in the market." Collins predicted industry would show an increase of at least 25 percent in net profits for the rest of 1936.

NO PLACE LIKE JAIL SO PRISONERS STAY Salem Inmates Just Don't Want to Leave Special Dispatch to the Globe SALEM, April 30 If things keep on at faaiem Jail it may become necessary to pass a law getting prisoners out of their cells after their term is up. They're getting so satisfied and pleased with their life behind the bars that they just leave. The latest addict to the glories of jail life was due to gain his freedom this morning, after 10 days for drunkenness. Wide open swung the gates, and the prisoner, a free man again, didn't want to go. It was raining, he said.

Stays for Luncheon So he stayed for luncheon. Jail officials asked him if he wouldn't please go, after he had settled down to finish a magazine story. He pleaded with them to let him finish the story. Finally, as the afternoon wore on, they were forced to escort him to the gate and turn him out. Only a few days ago, another prisoner, serving time for an automobile violation, was given a parole.

He liked the jail so much, he said, that he had to be. persuaded and firmly to leave. Which recalls the case of Thomas F. O'Brien and his satisfied imprisonment tor alimony dodging. He would rather spend his life in jail than pay alimony, he said, and he spent the Winter here.

When he was released a few weeks ago, he told the jail authorities that he'd be back sometime in May, and asked them to have his cell refin-ished lor him.
