• • Overheard in Hollywood • •
• • In Hollywood they speak of Mae West as Paramount's hope chest. But she's bigger and broader than that, if we may be permitted to say so. We do say so, and thanks for the loan of the hall. Of course, Mae West doesn't know it — and neither does Paramount — but in some circles she's considered a wholesome influence.
• • In Her Own Words • •

• • The New Movie Magazine discussed Mae West.
• • Herb Howe wrote: And I don't mean to say that all stars are entirely synthetic.
• • Herb Howe wrote: Mae West, f'r'nstance. Mae gives her heart, her soul, her everythin'. Conceives her stories, writes her lines, sings her songs herself and has such a way with reporters that Paramount has had to substitute bouncers for press-agents on her set.
• • Herb Howe wrote: And, while others were wiring complaints to the President, Mae was wiring a plea to the Governor of South Carolina to pardon a technician of the company who broke jail ten years ago and has been a good boy since. It's all I can do to keep from wiring General Johnson to exempt Mae. I mean no blanket code should cover Mae!
