Francis MacDonald Isn't Telling.
F.
rancis McDonald is another screen person who owns a hidden wedding ring. He is really a very home loving man, even if he does play villains on the screen. Once upon a time he was married to Mae Busch. But Mae and he parted after about two weeks. McDonald went off a few weeks ago, and married Belle Roscoe, the divorced wife of Albert Roscoe, but somehow the fact never reached the public. Their romance began only a few months ago, though the two have been friends for a long time.
Are You Deceiving Us, Helen?
' Jl ^here are those who say that Helen Ferguson and William Russell have a couple of wedding rings that haven't been advertised. Bill and Helen have been even as Joan and Darby for faithfulness for lo, these many moons. Everyone knows they are engaged. And more than a few hint vigorously that there has been a giving and taking of rings. But both Helen and Bill deny it.
A very good job of covering up the wedding ring was done by Helene Chadwick when she married William Wellman. In fact, the world got quite a shock when it learned that Helene was not a flapper, but had an able-bodied husband. Billy Wellman is a director at Fox's, I believe. Now Helene is sueing for divorce, charging desertion.
Miss Rubens telephoned Guy Price, dramatic editor of The Los Angeles Herald, asking him coyly to deny her marriage, Price printed this :

1 ittle is heard about Reginald Denny's marriage, but not because Denny wishes to keep it dark. I imagine that Universal believes that Denny's romantic appeal is greater as a bachelor. Denny has been married for ten years, to the same wife, and still likes her! He is really thirty, though his press agent proclaims him twenty-six years old.
Malcolm McGregor is married too, darn it ! He passes for a bachelor in print most of the time, but is an ardent enough husband in private life. Romantic appeal, like the case of Denny, is probably the reason for the non-publishing of the bans.
Evelyn Brent's Marriage
ne of the most interesting instances of a secret marriage recently was that of B. F. Fineman, the producer, and Evelyn Brent. The marriage was actually kept from the public for more than six months !
Of course, no account of California matrimonial events is complete without comment upon Pola and Charlie. No, they're not married !
In fact, as we go to press, they're not even engaged. Which is as far as we dare predict.
