"The end of the story is stranger still. When I came back from Arizona, and went to see my doctor, he told me that I had made almost miraculous strides toward health, and that I would live ! The outdoor life and simple food, which I had fancied would be my final undoing, had been, it seemed, the things that saved me. He was amazed at my improvement. "I think that was really more of a shock than the other news had been. Reprieved ! Saved ! The words did not mean a thing. "I realized that I had been almost relieved about a lot of things. Problems which I had thought I should not have to face — things like that. There were so many things that I had simply stopped considering. And there they were, waiting to be solved. "It was like coming back to con sciousness after an anaesthetic. I had to orient myself. I realized that for months I had been thinking of myself as dead! Now it was the inconvenience of living that troubled me ! "I became used to living, however, much more quickly than I had adjusted my mind to dying. But the experience left me changed in many ways. I can never take life for granted again. I am grateful every day for the tiniest details of existence. It was the most profound experience of my career. But I am glad, now, because of the things it taught me." By their answers ye shall know them ! Bebe's answer was entirely characteristic. She would carry on as usual and go out — just Bebe. She faced it alone. No heroics, no dramatization of her emotions, no self-pity, or sops thrown to her ego. A quietly courageous and thoroughly sporting girl. Over the Teacups Continued from page 29 "There's a girl who has been working so hard I haven't seen her in ages," she rattled on. "But Libyan is always the same — gay and crisp and smart. If she ever has any troubles she hides them successfully. She has been working day and night on 'Bulldog Drummond' " What girl would think it was work to be playing opposite Ronald Colman"! "No matter what producer comes along with a gorgeous role for Lilyan, she will refuse it, for she is about to rush off to New York for a vacation. Wish I could send a spy along and find out where she buys her shoes. It is one of the major mysteries of Hollywood, and every one would like to find out. No one else ever wears such stunning slippers. "And speaking of shoes, Joan Crawford has started a vogue for colored-linen tennis shoes. She has them in every imaginable color to match her sports dresses, and wears them practically all the time." "But what other girl could go slouching around in tennis shoes all the time without looking dowdy? Joan avoids it, somehow. She looked so gorgeous at the opening of 'The Iron Mask,' that she was quite the belle of the occasion. No, she didn't have tennis shoes on then, of course." Fanny frowned at me for taking her statement literally, then took the floor. "And that was an opening ! Nat urally, everybody in the colony turned out for a Fairbanks opening, and a few thousand more tourists than usual stood on the outside and gaped at the arrivals. "I've never seen a more beautiful audience. Every one was out in their spring finery, shedding ermine coats for the chiffon and velvet wraps that are much more colorful. Marion Davies never looked so radiant before in her life. Marion is very happy now. She was a little crushed for a while. She was making 'The Five O'clock Girl,' and nothing about the picture went right. Finally, after they had all just about broken their hearts trying to make something of it, Marion persuaded them to scrap the whole thing, get another story, and start out with some real enthusiasm. Marion promises to be the ranking musical-comedy star of the screen. "As usual, she will have a marvelous cast. Oscar Shaw is being brought from New York, and Robert Ames will also play in the picture. And there will be a lot of pretty girls." As for me, it would suit me if Marion went in for sketches all by herself. Won't some one start a movement to put her in one-reelers, with songs, dances, and impersonations, and spare us the deadly ones borrowed from vaudeville? Blackheads, acne, skin troubles are likely to begin, because you are rubbing cold cream further into the pores instead of rubbing it off. High laundry bills and ruined towels will result.
