More About Hollywood TF only that Casanovian young mil*■ lionaire producer, Howard Hughes by name, would settle down to a nice steady romance — or get married or something — half of our worries as columnists would be over. Just now he seems to be overdoing the "Safety In Numbers" gag, and the other week-end he entertained on his yacht not only Dorothy Jordan but Barbara Kent and Mary Brian and the blond Mary Carlyle as well. In comparison, your old friend Don Juan must have been pretty tame. *T*HE opening of the stage play, *■ "Camille," brought out a host of screen stars, probably because of the local interest in Gilbert Roland. The young Mexican had not a trace of an accent before the footlights — losing it , 116 (Continued from page 90) in only two weeks of hard study. Gilbert himself was so elated over the fact that, following the first performance he shouted wildly to friends that gathered about in his dressing room : "Yu canno' taal mee frum an Ennglishmeen . . . no?" He was so excited that his accent was, for the moment, worse than ever. Everyone in the first-night audience seemed to feel that Roland was playing direct to Norma Talmadge, who sat, beautifully gowned in white velvet, in a front-row seat. Norma and Gilbert played together in the silent picture version of the story. Remember? Black combined with white or pale pastel shades predominated in the stars' gowns. Carole Lombard wore pale peach lace with a black wrap. She looked lovely — and very happy, too. Connie Bennett brought back thirtyfive original Paris creations when she returned to Hollywood from Paris — twenty for her next picture — and the rest for her own wardrobe. Wonder if a wedding dress ivas included? Connie simply couldn't marry the Marquis de la Falaise in anything but a chic Paris gown. ARY COOPER has been out of the ^* limelight more or less since the Lupe Velez affair washed up. When he's not getting himself rumored in love with Talluluh Bankhead, he just works. And when he isn't working, he's studying voice or taking solitary drives in his long blue and yellow phaeton. Just recently he bought a 5000-acre tract of land in Coachella Valley which will be used for agricultural purposes.
