STARS' FADS.

VARIED AIDS TO THOUGHT. You will remember how Gary Cooper turned the whole case in his favour in "Mr. Deeds Goes to Town" by his apt allusions to "O-fillers" and "doodlers, who subsconsciously fill in °' s a nd draw meaningless scrawls to aid thought. When Hollywood stars have perplexing problems to solve, they do many funny things. A recent questionnaire revealed the following varying habits: — Clark (Jable thinks best in a hot bath. Norma Shearer likes to walk on hard sand at sunset. (Jreta Garbo walks in the rain. Joan Crawford listens to a symphony selection on her gramophone. Robert Taylor goes for a ride on a roller coaster. Eleanor Powell taps the first routine she ever learned. Cecil B. de Xille smokes a giant pipe, which holds a large quantity of tobacco. Jean Harlow counts the motor cars that pass her home. Myrna Lov buys a new hat. Gary Cooper goes for long horseback rides at night. Bette Davis, once a life-saver, takes long ocean swims. Lionel Barryniore etches. Jimmy Stewart plays the accordion or the piccolo. Director Clarence Brown gets in an open car and goes for long rides, often covering several hundred miles and driving until dawn. Funniest of all is Groucho Marx. He plays patience with himself. Wilts every time!
