Hollywood is in. the midst of its seasonal frenzy of buying film material, with Columbia heading the list of purchasers with a total of sixteen new story properties acquired- in little over a month. The list includes virtually all forms of writing except biography and romantic history, which might be taken to indicate a trend in a new direction. The stories acquired Inciudo “Preventer of Accidents,” a new story by that prolific writer Clearence Keliaud, who authored Columbia’s sensational success “Mr. Deeds Goes to Town,” “Golden. Honeymoon," purchased from the Bing Lardner estate; Alice Duer Miller's “Birth of a Hero.” The company also acquired from the same author “Hive Little Heiresses” as well as “Innocents at Large” by Doris Peel.

Shirley Temple will shortly be seen in her latest Fox picture, ‘ ‘ The Poor Little Rich Girl,” with Gloria Stuart, Alice Faye, Michael Whalen, Jack Haley and Jane Darwell in support. “Tho Poor Little Rich Girl” which has a modern, 1936 New York background, is said to top everything that Shirley has yet done. <S> <S> <j> <s> A Rumanian admirer recently wrote Gary Cooper, co-star with Marlene Dietrich in “Desire,” for the sum of 40,00 C ley for the purchase of a motorcycle. Wonder how much money that is? Sounds plenty, especially to buy a k motor-cycle.
