Sheepishly, the R-K-O star tells of how he cooked up a ruse to fool his Hollywood friends, but had the tables turned on him when two game wardens refused to see the point cf the joke. Over confidence brought the whole thing on. Joel was going on a fishing trip to Little Lake in the Owens Val ley country and optimistically in vited some pals to come over and 1 i ".-tvc V. have a trout din ner on his return. Joel McCrea Unfortunately, he caught no fish. He seemed to be in for plenty of ribbing. Until he re membered Noah Beery's trout farm. Stepping there on the way home, he caught a creel-full in an hour. But instead of using the regular Beery cartons, he packed the fish in a box carrying the name cf the Owens Val ley camp. What he didn't know was that two game wardens had a barricade in Mint Canyon. They discovered Joel with more than the limit and saw the camp's name on the box. In vain the star tried to explain that it was all a joke. He wa3 all but arrested when one cf the wardens finally agreed to go back to Beery's resort with him and confirm the story. Evelyn Venable's father 13 moving in with her, and her friends see this as the end of her romance with Hal Mohr, Fox cameraman. Professor Ven' able was responsible for that contract in which the starlet was forbidden to play screen love scenes. He has threat ened several times to take his daugh ter cut of the movies and is known to have disapproved of Evelyn's real life romance. Since he came to Holly wood a while back, the professor has lived in an apartment while Evelyn took a house in Hollywood with a companion and a housekeeper. Now the companion is no longer with her. She'll have her father fcr company. Tennis-mad Hollywood will be in terested to learn that John Lodge's ancestors were among the earliest pa trons of the sport in this country. In fact, the second lawn tennis court in America was built on the estate of John's grandfather, Henry Cabot Lodge, at Nahant, Mass. Talking pictures are helping to change the classic lexicon cf music. The conductor of a studio recording orchestra doesn't talk in terms of ar peggios, staccatos and so forth. Herbert Stothart, who directed the 100 piece orchestra for M. G. M's "The Merry Widow," gives samples of the new glossary. To get a quick staccato chord at the end of a strain, the studio con ductor snaps: "Give me a stinger on the ending." "Hwaaas" are the long sustained notes of a French horn. "Bumps" r.re the noise3 made by puffing into a brass tuba. They sound a bit like the chug cf a locomotive. In fact, Ernst Lubitsch once used them for that in a memorable music al sequence on a train. "Slaps are performed by slapping the mouth-piece of a tuba with the . fM.'M-.w.wiw.w. .vi .'AMVf4NR I m n i f " firn i ii mnnrmiinif" ' ' n nil f-Ai iftn r r '""fi" hand. Low bass notes are "grunts." A bass viol is a "dog house." Knick-Knacks Kent Taylor was an eye-witness to the slaying of that bank bandit on Wilshire boulevard. And admits it made him squeamish. ...
