When Ronald Colman and Mr. and Mrs. Richard Barthelmess met in Japan during their recent world jaunts, they visited the Nikitsu Studios where some of the Japanese films are made. Here they are talking to a couple of Japanese character actors. Cute, aren't they? Hollywood Newspictures Joan Bennett's wedding was an event! (Above) Connie, Joan, Gene Markey, who happens to be the groom, and Capt. Clayton, best man. (Left) The bride and groom. After the ceremony, Joan and Gene stood on a balcony and bowed to the cheering crowds. moves vividly from a small Connecticut town, to New York's theatrical whirl, over to Paris and then to Hollywood. THE news that probably brought more joy to Hollywood than any other this month was the report from an Arizona sanitarium. It was good news, you can bet, when we heard that Renee Adoree is really on the road Wide World to recovery. She's almost ready to leave the old sanitarium and move into a place of her own for a prolonged convalescence. THAT old horse-opera maestro, Tom Mix, ain't taking no chances with a Mexican wedding. Not on your sombrero ! No sooner did Tom get a day off from the studio than he and his bride of a couple of months hied themselves to Yuma, and went through a second ceremony. Lois Wilson, who is Tom's leading lady in his newest picture, and Tom's cameraman went along as witnesses. WThat with all the hubbub about a possibility that some of these recent married-in-Mexico couples aren't really married (on account of technical requirements of the country) Tom wasn't taking any chances. MRS. Brock Pemberton, RKO fashion specialist, selected a perfect duck of a hat for .Irene Dunne. It was a black straw affair with two sassy bows on the crown. Irene was crazy about the hat, but (enter complications) so was Connie Bennett, queen of the lot. In order to relieve Mrs. Brock Pemberton from any embarrassment in the matter, Connie proved herself a heck of a good sport by giving up the hat for Irene to wear on the screen in her next picture. She did ask, however, that she be allowed to have the charming chapeau copied in another color and she wore it with her bridesmaid's gown to sister Joan's wedding. (See picture at left.) NO matter how you figure it, Tallulah Bankhead just hasn't registered as a "sensation" in Hollywood. For some reason or other the girl who set London and New York on fire hasn't quite clicked as a personality to gasp over. Even her enthusiastic newspaper reporter devotees who insist that Tallulah is more colorful than a desert sunset and more explosive than the Fourth of July can't seem to whip up the proper amount of interest in the drowsyeyed Bankhead. The other evening we saw Tallulah in a theatre lobby following a studio preview. While the two stars of the picture were being besieged by requests for autographs, Tallulah was allowed to step into her waiting automobile without a sinsrle tug at the sleeve. What's happened to the famous Tallulah Bankhead fireworks?
