Last month for the first time, I visited The House of Westmore, popular beauty quarters of the stars, and unearthed some interesting facts on one of the strangest industries of our time. It's something of a modern version on the theme of O'Henry's best beloved story, The Gift of Magi. Remember it? About the husband who sold his precious gold watch chain to get his wife a comb and brush for Christmas — and of the same wife who sold her long and beautiful hair to buy him a watch for that same gold chain? Only in Hollywood the results are not nearly so upsetting as those must have been. Rather, they are crowning glories! Luncheon at the famous Hollywood Vendome never ceases to be exciting. Everyone seems to be so interested in where and how you've been. Marlene Dietrich was lunching there the other day with her adored and adoring daughter. I had met Miss Dietrich in Elisabeth Bergner's dressing-room in New York during the run of the play, Escape Me Never, and it was amusing to think I was sitting with the two Catherines. They have been old friends for years. They tell me there are actual colonies of women in Italy, Russia, China, and Germany, subsidized to grow and furnish hair for these Merry Wigs of Westmore. Behind locked vaults, heavily barred, and carefully guarded, there are some three thousand pounds of luxurious lock? in all colors, textures, and lengths, wait Pcggy Wood's excellent work in RKO's Jalna has won praise from critics the country over, indicating a bright future in films ing to be converted into transformations. This hair is purchased by the pound, the price depending upon the texture and length, ranging anywhere from two dollars to as high as one hundred dollars per ounce. "Natural" platinum hair would come under this latter rate. Reasonable at twice the price for some yearning souls I know! At any rate, you must go behind the scenes of wig lore when you come to Hollywood. Elisabeth Bergner is desperately shy. I wonder what she will make of things when she comes to Hollywood. I met her in London on the night of the premiere of her first English-speaking picture, Catherine the Great. Again I was in her dressing room, and two of the great powers in the movie world of Great Britain dashed in to try to persuade her to fling a coat over the shabby costume of Gemma Jones and rush over to the Leicester Square Theatre to make a personal appearance after the picture's finale. The Prince of Wales and Austrian Ambassador were among those present and felt it would be simply superb if Miss Bergner would show herself to the distinguished audience. She would not. For she could not. Terrified at the idea she backed up against the wall and shook her head. She wasn't dressed like Catherine the Great, she didn't feel like Catherine the Great, and she was scared to death of all those people! Over the cocktails at Dorothy Parker's grand party last month — this rare story on Will Rogers. That shy, gentle man you've heard, no doubt, has a standing dislike on posing for front-face pictures, preferring his less "self-conscious" profile. A new cameraman had not been informed of the tradition, so upon a certain day approached Mr. Rogers for a straight HOLLYWOOD
