CATALINA BECOMES
HEADQUARTERS FOR
CINEMA PERSONALITIES
By Alma Overhoh
Santa Catalina Island, with its many
new attractions is taking the place of
Agua Caliente these days as the ren-
dezvous of socialite and motion pic-
ture personalities. Club La Cima, that
smart new night club under the stars
at the Catalina Country Club, the Ho-
tel St. Catherine cocktail corral, and
the Descanso Gardens Terrace Buffet,
are the swanky setting for sophisti-
cated folk who have been seen at the
southern resort.
The past week both Baron Long and
Joe Schenck were anchored off the St.
Catherine Hotel on board their pala-
tial pleasure craft. Mr. and Mrs. Long
hand as their yachting guests on the
Norab, Mr. and Mrs. Charlie Baad of
the Hotel Biltmore, Mr. and Mrs.
Moore and Mr. and Mrs. Clark. They
entertained the group at dinner at the
Hotel St. Catherine, where they en-
joyed the tunes of Jan Garber and his
lads, later adjourning to Club La Cima,
where they were seen dancing and
supping under the tropical pahn cano-
py of the island's latest bid for the
moderne.
Joe Schenck had an interesting
partyof personalities on board his
yacht, the Invader, and was so busy
showing them all the intriguing things
to do and see at Santa Catalina Island
that the party flitted from cocktail
corral of the Hotel St. Catherine to
the Casino, and on to Club La Cima,
stopping enroute at the Catalina Is-
land Yacht Club, without the identity
of his gueests ever being fully estab-
lished.
Charlie Chaplin and Paulette God-
dard are anchored down at White's
Landing. And guess who is the most
tickled star on all Santa Catalina Is-
land.--Paulette! And she has a right
to be. Under Charlie's tutelage she h~,s
become an expert deep sea angler.
This week, fishing from the little
tender of her cruiser yacht, the Pana-
cea, she snagged the record yellow-
tail--a thirty-pound beauty! And poor
Charlie got nary a bite.
, , llt
Betty Grable and Eric Rhodes had
more fun skipping around the Casino
to Jan Garber's tantalizing tunes over
the week-end. In answer to Betty's
pleas Jan did his beautiful violin solo,
to the delight of dancing vatationists
here.
Adrienne Ames took a charming
bungalow at the Hotel St. Catherine
for the week-end, to rest up after the
strain of her divorce from Bruce Cab-
ot. With her was her little daughter,
Barbara, who spent hours splashing
in the smooth waters of Descanso Bay
while Adrienne sun-tanned on the
beach.
Mrs. William Wellman (Dorothy
Coonan) entertained her sister at the
St. Catherine Hotel over the week-end,
spending several happy evenings at the
Country Club night club, "La Cima."
Mr. and Mrs. Kent Taylor did a
little angling for great game fish this
last week. They were glimpsed faring
forth from the St. Catherine, lugging
rod and reel.
• * *
Virginia Pine was teaching her tiny
daughter to swim at the exclusive Ho-
tel St. Catherine beach. She flew to
the isle with Mrs. John O~Connell, for
a week of rest and relaxation.
Tunesmith Lou Rose is getting in-
spiration this week for another song
hit. Lou is spending balmy August
days chasing little white pellets around
the sporty golf links of the Catalina
Visitors' Country Club in Avalon.

SHOTGUN DISCHARGED
PHYSICIAN IS KILLED
AVALON
Shot accidently with his own shot-
gun, Dr. Clayton E. Wheeler, aged 50,
died Sunday on board his power
cruiser Siesta enroute to Balboa. Ac-
cording to the reports, Dr. Wheeler
and a party of friends left Avalon
early Sunday morning for the main-
land. Someone suggested shooting
"clay pigeons" from the stern of the
vessel. A~ter the gun practice Dr.
Wheeler was returning the guns to the
cabin when he stumbled and accident-
ly discharged a gun, and a large por-
tion of the discharge entered his neck
and head. Dr. E. B. Glass of Los An-
geles, T. A. Bradbury and O. H. E ng-
blom, were on board the Siesta, but
the accident was so serious that they
were unable to save the Doctor's life.
For several years Dr. Wheeler has
been a regular visitor to Avalon and
some ten years ago secured permission
from the island company to select a
number of Catalina goats for experi-
mental purposes in endocrinology. At
one time he planned to install a com-
plete laboratory at Avalon for goat
gland experimentation.

EARLY CALIFORNIA CLUB
Members of this organization met
Tuesday, August 6, at E1 Encanto.
Miss Minnie Joughin, vice-president,
presided.
Minutes of the previous meeting
were read and approved.
The members then fell into an in-
formal talk in regard to future enter-
tainment.
A luncheon was planned for August
27, to which the public will be invited,
and it is hoped that many of the visit-
ors to Santa Catalina Island will come
and be entertained by some of the best
speakers from the mainland.
Mrs. B. O. Kendall very pleasantly
filled in the remainder of the time by
reading charmingly that Ca t a li n a
classic, "Their Mariposa Legend,"
by Charlotte Herr.
The book was not finished and will
give pleasure for another pleasant af-
ternoon.
Miss Joughin then closed the meet-
ing. C.D.W.

CHURCH BENEFIT PROGRAM
Referring to the church benefit pro-
gram printed elsewhere in this paper,
Mrs. B. O. Kendall said:
"The program is one that I put
on for the May meeting of "The
Tuesday Musicale" in Pasadena. It
was so well received that I thought
that having put so nmch work and
time on it, I would like to use it
again, with the help of local talent,
and try to raise some money for the
Community Congregational Church
Building Fund."
