OF HOLLYWOOD After the Withers-Young marriage broke up, Grant was seen places with Betty Compson— apparently terribly interested in her. But Betty unwittingly gave away his secret. far as fickle old Hollywood is concerned. And not a very sad song, at that." I'M sure these words are the sentiments of many people who watch the constantly varying' parade of Hollywood loves as it changes and changes. And yet I wonder? . . . In spite of the wicked cynics, I believe that somebody gets hurt, and hurt badly, even in the most casual Hollywood "break-up." Somebody figuratively buries a face in a pillow and cries it out even though pride prevents them from letting the world in on it. For actors are prouder than Lucifer. Unrequited love is a badge of defeat. The admiration, adulation and love of the world is theirs for the mere asking — and a personal failure in one's own game is ignoble. That is why movie star's wives are "good sports" about divorce. That is why ex-lovers steel themselves to speak magnanimously of the lost flames, to politely "wish them well," to attempt to part as comrades and friends. Could it have been some uncanny presentiment that prompted Lupe Velez, even at the height of her love for Gary Cooper, to deny it with joke and gibe in the public print.

Garee is nice boy. But Lupe would not marry heem if he is last man on earth. We are good friends ... we are in the habit of seeing each other . . . that is all." THOSE were Lupe's laughing, indifferent, casual words that she never lived up to. She isn't living up to them now that she is back in Hollywood in the same house where she and Gary were once so happy. People say Lupe has changed. "Nonsense," says Lupe. But it is there. Her laughter is not so quick to come. Recently I saw Lupe at the Cocoanut Grove at the same table where she so often used to sit with Gary, and hold his hand, and snuggle her chair around closer to his. This time Lupe was with her affluent and wealthy admirer. {Continued on page 126) Lillian Bond Gossip had it that Howard Hughes was being seen places with Lillian Bond, so Billie Dove started going places with Roland McKenzie.
