Vox Pop

One thing no dictator can do is control the weather. Another thing no dictator can do is make cinemaddicts prefer one movie star to another. Hollywood's dictator, the box office, realistically recognizes this fact, always bows to the unpredictable will of the people. Last week a nationwide poll on the comparative popularity of current cinema stars showed Hollywood which way to bow. The one-day poll was conducted by 53 newspapers of the Chicago Tribune-New York News Syndicate (combined circulation approximately 20,000,000) in the U. S. and Canada. Results (male and female separately):

1. Clark Gable Myrna Loy

2. Robert Taylor Loretta Young

3. Tyrone Power Jeanette MacDonald

4. William Powell Barbara Stanwyck

5. Spencer Tracy Sonja Henie

6. Nelson Eddy S hirley Temple

7. Paul Muni Janet Gaynor

8. Don Ameche Ginger Rogers

9. Ronald Colman Claudette Colbert

10. Errol Flynn Joan Crawford
