HOLLYWOOD (Below) Mrs. Loretta Withers, Gretchen Young, Loretta Young. They're one and the same. She recently divorced Grant Withers on the grounds of non-support. This picture was taken right in the court room. (Right) Dorothy Mackaill, with her absolutely one and only, at least up to the moment of writing. Neil Miller is his name and he is a radio crooner and the son of a planter in Hawaii. That's where they met. World Wide CERTAIN wags have been wagging that Michael Farmer, once supposedly engaged to the beauteous Marilyn Miller, and now rumored engaged to Gloria Swanson, is not a millionaire playboy as everyone thinks. Rather, a very attractive young male trying to get along ! He certainly must be very attractive to get the attentions of two such famous beauties as Marilyn and Gloria! Daily Puzzle: Sidney Fox is renting the house owned by Austin Parker, whom Miriam Hopkins is suing for divorce. Miriam is going places with Dudley Murphy since the marital break. Sidney, also, is a good friend of Dudley's. Miriam is friendly with her ex-husband, Austin Parker . . . so is Sidney. Miriam and Sidney are still good friends. FRANCES MARION, one of the highest-paid scenarists in Hollywood, and her director husband, George Hill, have separated for good this time. They plan to get a divorce in the very near future. In their couple of years of married life, the Hills have separated any number of times and then made up again. But this is final. Frances has been going around since the separation with an attractive fellow who looks a great deal like her late husband, Fred Thompson, the Western star. Many say that Fred was Frances' one love and that his sudden death affected her more than anyone will ever know. SOME say that Edmund Lowe is really a sick man — and that that is the reason for his leaving Fox. Others have it that Eddie wanted his salary raised from the $4,000 he was getting under his old contract, to $6,000 a week. His physician came forward with the statement that the actor's health won't stand the continual grind of picture after picture and that he needs a rest immediately. So, as we write this, Eddie and wife Lil Tashman are planning to leave for Europe on a vacation. Whether it's actual illness ... or salary-itis, it looks like Lowe and Fox have come to the parting of the ways. John Boles is replacing him in "Cheating," and the studio is grooming Spencer Tracy to play opposite Vic MacLaglen in "Disorderly Conduct."
