Joan is brandishing a sixteen-inch butcher knife under Coop’s nose and scolding him through eighty lines of difficult backwoods dialogue. Joan never slips up on her lines but Cooper isn’t so sure about the knife — which is what makes him so nervous.. .Incidentally, Director Hawks is a dead ringer for Cooper (or Cooper for Hawks), with a wonderful crop of silverwhite hair the only real difference. JUST prior to the premiere of Preston Sturges’ laugh-factory, “The Lady Eve,” Paramount sent out invitations in the form of a blonde, clad only in a papiermache red apple on which was printed the name of the picture and an invitation to the premiere. They’re officially together again now, but one of the sights that gave Holly¬ wood the chuckles for a few weeks was Arthur Hornblow wooing Myrna Loy all over again. Fashion notes: At Macombo’s, ac¬ companied by Charlie Chaplin and John Howard, Hedy Lamarr in a severe, lownecked black dinner gown ; at her throat a huge diamond clip on a velvet ribbon... Two designers out-doing each other in chic — Irene, in one of her simple, exqui¬ site suits, a tre¬ mendous diamond clip bursting from each of her side pockets, and Lily Dache in an aus¬ terely-cut black dress, high black turban with a giant quivering diamond butterfly worn on top of it. ..At the cocktail party for Ruth Chatterton chez Dorothy Parker and Alan Campbell, Loretta Young wearing her fa¬ vorite hat which is nothing more than a tiny bunch of white flowers, hung with a long black veil, spangled in small sequin loops. It literally totters on her brow. New fashion trend begun by Myrna Loy on the “Love Crazy” set: starched white organdie jewelry worn in tiny, tiny bows clipped to her ears and repeated in matching bracelets for each wrist. Warner Bros.’ annual dinner at the Bilt GARY COOPER JOAN LESLIE more was a gay affair. In addition to honoring achievements from prop boys to executives, film excerpts were shown exhibiting the stars in their most em¬ barrassed moments — when they go up in their lines. Bette Davis stole top fash¬ ion honors with a black gown featuring a tight bodice and a bouffant net skirt embroidered in various shades of yellows, green and blue. Fashion made money — lots of it — for the London Air Distress Fund, sponsored by Lady Mendl and Sylvia Ashley Fairbanks. The affair was held at cocktail time at the House of Murphy. Dr. Harry Martin, serving as auction¬ eer, sold a breath-taking gown designed and donated by Orry-Kelly and modeled by Virginia Field. It was of champagne crepe, decorated with a subtle design in sequins, and made filmy with a gossamer over-dress of creamy marquisette. The dress was bought immediately by Sid Grauman and promptly returned to the auction block to be resold. Next, hats cre¬ ated and donated by John-Frederics were modeled by Mary Pickford, Connie Ben¬ nett and Cobina Wright, Jr., among others. SIR CHARLES MENDL made high bid of the evening for Miss Pickford’s headgear — and then gave it back to her. The girls selling cocktail tickets and cigarettes were among the most glamour¬ ous in town: Frances Robinson, Constance Moore, Virginia Field, Mrs. Fred Astaire, Mary Taylor and Marcelle de Beauvoliers. Among the other guests were Mrs. Gloria Vanderbilt and Lady Thelma Furness, Mrs. Jack Warner, Reginald Gardiner, Baroness Kuffner, Bill Haines, Janet Gaynor and Adrian, Mrs. Herbert Marshall and the inevitable Louella Parsons, who is get¬ ting to be a kind of columnar Elsa Max¬ well for successful parties. It was a plush and highly successful affair. Bob Taplinger, Warners’ affable press man, gave a cocktail party in honor of Quentin (“London Can Take It”) Rey¬ nolds, the proceeds to the British War Relief Fund. Taplinger’s home was a reve¬ lation in good taste of what a bachelor apartment can be. French Provincial style, boasting three fireplaces.
