DUNN AND EIIiERS LOST IN

CROWDS.

Even in blase Hollywood, the appearance of a popular screen star in public creates something of a sensation A visit to a store or a theatre invariably attracts a throng of admirers and autograph seekers whose attentions, while flattering, are often embarrassing as well.

James Dunn and Sally Eilers, however, discovered recently a way to avoid all such embarrassments and at the same time to enjoy themselves. It happened while the "Bad Girl" stars were preparing to make 'Dance Team' the latest Fox production which BCreens atthe Prince Edward Theatre on Thursday, October 6th.

{For weeks they had been taking daily lessons in ballroom dancing under the tutelage of Charles Mosconi of the well known Mosconi Brothers, and as many of the actual scenes of the new film are laid in various public

dance halls, Dunn suggested that they go to one of these terpsichore palaces together and try out the steps they had learned.

Miss Eilers, wise in the ways of crowds, feared the customary stampede but was eventually persuaded and they started out. And much to their surprise nobody paid any attention to them. They were just another dancing couple to the crowd. They went to another hall, with the same result and subsequently visited and tangoed in nearly every ballroom in the Los Angeles area, absorbing the -■' atmosphere" for their present roles as well as getting in plenty of practice.

7'Dancing couples aren't interested in anyone but themselves,'was Dunn's explanation. "That's what makes dancing such a popular institution. With a pretty girl inyour arms and a good orchestra playing the strains of a waltz or fox trot, worries, troubles and everything else sink into oblivion.

With Dun and Miss Eilera in 'Dance Team,' are Minna Gombell, who played with them in "Bad Girl," Edward Crandall, Nora Lane, Claire Maynard, and Ralph Morgan, among others. Sidney Lanfield directed the production from Edwin Burkes adaptation of Sarah Addington's popular novel.
