That's what somebody said one day to Billy Haines. While Billy is a great comedian, both on and off, his closest friends know that these frolicsome gestures really hide serious nature, that is given to actually somber moods.
Billy met Polly that very day at the Metro-Goldw7n-Mayer studios. Polly has her deep and serious side, roo, but there's nothing morbid about her. She and Billy began kidding each odier. It developed into a contest of wics, and pretty soon a lot of people were listening to the two, who really ate bril"iant at repartee.
Then Billy invited Polly over to his house for dinner; after which Polly invited Billy to her house for dinner the next week. And now they meet almost as regularly as a lodge!
When Billy goes to a party, he usually goes with Polly and his sister. They go to the theater together a good deal too, especially to comedies.
They find all the laughter of life together, with Polly forever in the lead.
There's rather a famous joke in Hollywood, at the expense of an interviewer.
"Whom are you in love with.''" the interviewer asked Billy. {Continued on page 84]
Polly Moran and Bill Haines constitute tJte greatest friendship of any two wise-crackers in Hollywood. They have a great old time seeing who can out-repartee the other and, believe us, they keep those sparks of wit a-sizzling and a-crackling.
The two are quite inseparable, except, of course, for their girlmg evenings.
They spent their vacations together last summer at George's beach house.
And it isn't the friendship of a moment by a long way. They have been pals for years, each seeming to have a capacity for real loyalty and friendship.
BILLIE DOVE'S BEST FRIEND IS NONPROFESSIONAL
MOST friends of players are naturally to be found in their profession. But occasionally a frien'dship is formed with some one outside, and so it is with Billie Dove.
Billie's best friend is Lillian Akers of New York. Up until two years ago, Billie went east every year to visit her friend. But recently she has been so busy she couldn't get away, so last year Miss Akers came out to spend two weeks with Billie, but had such a good time that she remained eight months ! The girls shopped and went to the theater together, and especially delighted in short trips to California points of interest, like Catalina Island, Monterey and Coronado. Both enjoy yachting, and as Billie knows several people who own yachts, including Belle Bennett, they were not lacking for entertainment in this way.
