LET'S TALK ABOUT Hollywood Newspictures Come now, Daddy wants to give urns ickle boy a dreat bid present. And so Daddy does and junior is all agog. Do you think Skeet Gallagher's son looks anything like Skeet? Young Master Gallagher seems just a mite camera shy. HOLLYWOOD really ought to be ashamed of itself ! Breaking up happy marriages the way it does. One of the crudest reactionary quirks of this thing called fame is the sudden death of the marriage of Johnny Weissmuller and Bobbe Arnst. Ever since the swimming champion's hurdle to screen success in "Tarzan," Hollywood has been surmising about this couple. Johnny was just too attractive a fellow not to have a great many girls flattering him. Despite the widespread feminine interest in him, for a while it seemed as if his marriage would weather it. Bobbe Arnst accused Hollywood of trying to break up her home; she's been fighting off the thing that actually happened for several months. Just a few days before Johnny returned to Hollywood from his personal appearance tour, Bobbe was talking enthusiastically about his homecoming . . . how glad she was that they'd be together again. Then the bomb fell, for Johnny hadn't been back more than a couple of days when he asked her to obtain a divorce from him in a Mexican court. Bobbe was so heartbroken and amazed by this request that she was on the point of acquiescing, before her attorney advised against it. Either Johnny will sue for the divorce himself, or a property settlement will be effected, after which Bobbe will start suit. The only girl's name to be linked with Johnny's is Lupe Velez. Several of the swimmer-actor's friends believe that Johnny is terribly in love with the Mexican heartbreaker. Lupe says that there is no romance between them. After years of fighting his way back to the silver screen, the first day's work proved too much for "Fatty" Arbuckle. When he got back in front of the cameras, "Fatty" was so happy at being again at xvork that he broke down and cried. Said it was the first time he'd been able to relax in twelve long years. Good luck, "Fatty," old boy. (Above) Maurice Chevalier greets Marie Dressier when Marie recently paid a visit to the Paramount lot. Bet you never saw a picture of these two stars together before.

This VelezSheehan two-some had Hollywood guessing several months ago . . . with the executive showering" your favorite Mexican actress with costly gifts. Then it was cool as a Constance Bennett stare. But the fires evidently haven't burned all the way out, and the romance may blossom into something more definite this time.
