4 ....Flickerings From Flicker land.... ace a lot this summer. It‘s nice to sit up there and look down on the less fortunate in the hot streets. WINTER GARDEN — This space will be used to give Silvia De Lores Vernon her first press notice. Harry Vernon, popular singer and entertainer of the Winter Garden, was presented with Silvia two weeks ago. Now he’s a proud papa, and Mrs. Vernon is doing just fine. Watch Harry smile now. CINDERELLA ROOF — A great place to stay away from unless you want sensations in your tootsies. MARCELL’S — Ah, eet ees zee granda place to invest in the wellknown eats. Once a diner, always a diner, should be their motto. Those who know the best in food just rave about this hall of fine food. The music is extra good, too. COCOANUT GROVE — So they transferred us to the large dining room for a while. The well-known Grove is undergoing some "fixing up.’ Abe Lyman is still happy and passing out some good melodes. THE SHIP CAFE— George Collins is still upholding his fine reputation by giving us one grand good time at every visit. All the “rounders” are talking about the splendid way he runs h's famous water playground. GYPSYLAND — Hollywood's new hangout for good dinners and dancing. The prices are exceedingly reasonable. This might appeal to you. PLANTATION— They had a grand time down here on Thursday night, June 28. It was the first anniversary of the famous roadhouse. Nearly all of filmdom’s greatest turned out for the occasion.' Many funny stunts were pulled off. Harry Casey and his orchestra did some mean melodies for darcing.

WYNKEN BLYNKEN CLUB— The Ocean Park oasis of good times! Fred Stross and his gang of musical babies are giving us lots of tuneful thrills. MONTMARTE — This is the greatest place in Hollywood to dine, dance and enjoy an evening. The food is nothing but the very best, and the service equals it. The crowds will tell, and it has been packed since its opening. The Coffee Shop downstairs, under the supervision of Mr. Bell, is one of the best in the country. Mr. Brandstratter is to be congratulated many times over his places of pleasure. MARY LOUISE — An exclusive dugout for the feminine sex to whisper. Society looks society in the face and smiles, nods and talks. The food is of the best, but the prices are hand tailored for the elite. TAIT’S COFFEE SHOP— Now a daily bit of routine work is done by the best of business men. They need not be reminded to dine here; they simply follow the stomach’s call and here’s where they land. This is a finest dining hall of quick service on the Coast, if not in the country. And the nice thing about it is, that you can’t get expensive in here. There is no dish over fifty cents. Three cheers, bovs. three cheers, for John Tait! SUNSET INN — The original playground of the motion picture stars. The happy hall of dancing contests. GERTRUDE STEVENS Comedy Ingenue The house of the Max Fisher orchestra at its best. What more do you want? BROWN’S CHOCOLATE SHOPS — They just can’t be beat, that’s all. The best cooling refreshments in Los Angeles. Mr. Brown has placed his cooling service stations in convenient parts of the downtown district for those who would walk a block for a Brown shop. TRAVAGLINI’S ROMA ROTISSERIE — Suppose you dash in some night and just try some of the grand old food, prepared by one of the best chefs in the city. You’ll come back — they all do. HOLLYWOOD STADIUM — Those who like the fista-cuffs of the de luxe order should visit the home of the handsome knockouts. Roy Marshall has been handing us a great bill every week now, and he promises to keep it up. OUT OF ORDER — This week has been a bad one; hangover’s and all that sort of thing; hot weather, trick ten city trousers, bills, new phone numbers, wild auto rides and bum bets on the baseball games. Enough! THE END WANTED A BROTHER! “What is the greatest regret of my life?” Constance Talmadge sighed as she stepped fro mthe “Dulcy” set at the United Studios. “I have just one regreat,” said Constance reflectively, “and that is that I never had a brother. Sisters are fine for confidantes — I love to tell my troubles to Norma and Natalie — that’s Mrs. Buster Keaton, you know — but oh, how often I have longer for a brother. “Brothers are something every girl should have — if possible. They always tell a sister the blunt truth. But, come to think of it, I really have got a brother — in ‘Dulcy,’ my current picture. He’s Johnny Harron, and he certainly does make life miserable for me. He treats me just like a brother, both ‘on and off the set. “By the way, do you know of a little boy that wants to be adopted — as a brother?” asked Connie plaintively. Dorothy Phillips is enjoying a longneeded vacation at her home in the Hollywood foothills. The star’s plans for the future will be announced in the near future, it is said.
