• • "Mae in the San Fernando Valley" • •
• • By Grady Johnson, United Press Staff Correspondent • •
• • Beverly West, her sister and her husband, Vladimir Baikoff, will live with Miss West in
in the new place, which, by the way, afforded Mae opportunity to absorb rustic atmosphere for her next picture, "Go West Young Man."
• • "No Swimming Pool" • •
• • Her new home will be small and modest, Mae said. It will not boast a swimming pool, which by Hollywood comparison, is like living In the slums. "What I'm looking for," Mae said, "is a nice place so arranged that my sister and brother-in-law can live in entire privacy. Just as I can. That is one of the most important things in living. Privacy Is conducive to friendliness."
• • Not giving up her house in Manhattan nor her place in Kew Gardens • •
• • Miss West disclosed that she had no intention of giving up her New York residences — — the one in New York City and the other in Kew Gardens. "I never intended to buy out here, but when my sister came out to the West Coast, she wasn't comfortable in an apartment. So, to please her, I'm house hunting. I'm not much good at running a house, so she'll attended to all the details."

• • There is, too, an exquisite little performance by Marion Wilson as Fifi; and a series of staggering irruptions into the scene by Enid Stamp Taylor, who has clearly made an intimate and successful study of the technique of Mae West, and who sports, in solitary splendour, an accent recognisably American. ...
