Adding glitter to the Power party were Hedy Lamarr and Mark Stevens. Since then their romance has hit a snag, with Hedy giving out big sister advice and sending Mark home for a speedy reconciliation. Newly-appointed Paramount chairman of the Runyon Cancer Fund, Bob Hope, attended the party in unofficial capacity with his wife. At another Mocambo affair, he quipped, "Go ahead, folks, Elliot's paying for this." Louis Jourdan (above next to June Havoc) is called the French Ty Power. Told by D. Selznick to stay exactly as he was, Louis later remarked. "I know I shouldn't change, but isn't my hair getting too long?" For a change, Doug Fairbanks Jr. and his wife attended a party that wasn't for them. Busy now as Vice-President of the American Association for the United Nations, he'll moke a picture soon with B. Grable. that Sylvia's new office on the Warner lot | (where she is working on his new song and | dance routines) is very glamorous and femij nine. There are bowls of fruit and flowers I everywhere — with added floral offerings ari riving twice weekly from Danny. Nice place i to work — AND think things over. In a very cheery voice, Sylvia told me, "Danny and I haven't hit it off so well in years as we have since we parted." And don't believe those silly stories that I Danny didn't want Sylvia to continue writing his material. He may be a little mixed up these days — i but he ain't THAT crazy. Wonder if I was in on the start of a romance between Joan Crawford and Tony ■Martin? We won't know until she returns from Honolulu — but here's what happened the night before she left: Joan, looking like a dream boat in a stunning black dress with tiered sleeves, came into the Mocambo with a gent I didn't recognize. But before you could say, "What's this?" Joan and her escort were sitting in Tony Martin's party. Suddenly, Tony was on the bandstand, singing a farewell song right into Joanie's big orbs, "I'll Be Seeing You In All the Old Familiar Places." Boy, did he mean it????? Then, much to the surprise of the breathless onlookers, Tony held out his hand to Joan and she joined him at the orchestra to duet, "Embraceable You." The lady hasn't done anything like that since the good old days when she used to win dancing contests and put on exhibitions of the Charleston. The Mark Stevenses have made up. They are going to give their marriage another try — which is the wise, sane thing to do. But whether it is permanent or not, I don't know — and frankly neither do Mark and Annelle. They both want the reconciliation to succeed, but there are many obstacles to overcome. I have never had anyone talk to me more frankly than Annelle did and it would be violating her confidence to repeat what she said. But I can say that she was hurt, and deeply hurt, over Mark's constant companionship with Hedy Lamarr during their separation. I am an older, and wiser woman so I do not feel presumptuous in offering this advice. I have seen many marriages, movie and otherwise, go on the rocks in my time. I f Continued on next page)
