Them Over By DOROTHY MANNERS A Southern girl who went not only West, but Western: Lucille Powers (above) gets her first big Hollywood break — being the woman in the case of "Billy, The Kid" (John Mack Brown) Tired: the show went on for Mary Astor (right) after the tragic death of her husband, Kenneth Hawks, and she completed "Ladies Love Brutes" and "Woman Hunt" before a breakdown came When she was making "Common Clay," her personal press-agent called at the studio with some photographs for her approval. " But we don't under any circumstances ow any business transacted on the sets," he was told by the Boy-Who-Lets-Them-Know-Where-To-Head-In at the Fox studio. Which was all true and very well until Constance got wind of what had happened. Then they quietly changed their rule. WALLACE BEERY and his wife, and Leila Hyams and her husband dining together at the Montmartre Sunday evenings. Lon Chaney telling Hedda Hopper she is his secret rrotv. Just for fun, of course. Nothing for Mrs. Chaney g,et excited about. Sue Carol and Nick Stuart buying rugs and kitchen ^ockery for their new house. This one is English — so they couldn't use the Spanish stuff. Otto Dyar Jack Holt and Dorothy Sebastian lunching at Henry's between scenes. JOHN GILBERT has gone just a little hay-wire in refusing to see the press just at a time when he needs their good will as he never needed it before. He has not granted an interview, or posed for a set of new pictures since before his trip to Europe. It is all right for Greta Garbo to hide out in seclusion. But Anyway, so rabid is Jack on the subject of press men that he arrived, turned on his heel and walked out on a stag dinner party given by one of his most intimate friends, when he caught sight of a local newspaper man who was also a guest. On the other hand, of course, what this forever-talking town takes for high-hat aversion may, on investigation, turn out to be an effort to bend backwards and not solicit favorable notices on his "comeback." 43
