Often you have wished that you might be told, something more about it than just the list of guests. For one thing, you have wanted to know what they had to eat. And 3'ou have probably wanted to know what rival hostesses do to compete with each other. Now it can be told — and for the first time. In the October Picture Play you will read all about what's what when the stars entertain, and particularly all about their food. Elza Schallert, who is not only a delightful writer but a practical housekeeper, has written an amusing and informative article dealing mainly with food. It is quite unlike any story Picture Play has ever published, and you will learn a great deal from it. Cullen Landis, about whom many fans have inquired, has given to Margaret Reid his first interview in years. It presents the young actor in a most sympathetic light, grateful for the interest shown in him and eager to com.e back. Also, in the next issue, the wedding of Rod La Rocque and Vilma Banky is minutely described by a guest, and Jackie Coogan is observed at school behaving not quite as you would expect. Jetta Goudal is placed under the microscope by Malcolm H. Oettinger, that you may see the exotic star as she really is, and — but space forbids complete mention of all the information and entertainment you will find in the next number. Don't miss it !
