John Agar, usually shy about kissing his wife in public, was so impressed with her Marie Antoinette costume he couldn't resist a light peck. Under the wig is the shortest hair-do Shirley's ever worn. LOUELLA PARSONS Louella Parsons predicts marriage for June Haver and Dr. John Duzik — Colonial girl and Paul Revere Evening was climaxed by entertainment— Danny Kaye and Frank Sinatra were among those in the acts. ■ The romantic mystery of Rita Hayworth and Ali Khan had Hollywood guessing. No one knew when he came, when he left and why he didn't call up his friends in our town. Now the big question is— will our glamorous, red-haired Rita marry the international playboy, whose father, the Aga Khan, is ruler of the Moslems both in India and Africa? Marrying the Khan isn't half as simple as it sounds. Ali, in his country, is the equivalent of a Crown Prince, and is heir to a fabulous fortune. Moreover, he is not free, being still married to an Englishwoman, by whom he has two children. Ali and his wife have not lived together for many years, but the children were in Cannes with him this summer. They all lived in the magnificent Mediterranean villa, once owned by the late Maxine Eliott, which is one of the most famous show places in Southern France. I must say Ali looked like a most devoted father. When I was there on my vacation, it was an everyday sight to see them all at Cap Antibes, water skiing. But the romantics say that surely the Khan must be madly in love with Rita or he wouldn't travel 6,000 miles just to see her in Hollywood. I don't doubt that he is fascinated. Who wouldn't be with Rita? But I cannot believe that marriage is part of his plan — nor, for that matter, that it is Rita's. Rita once told me that she had to be sure next time, and that she wouldn't marry without taking plenty of time to make a decision. As for Ali Khan, he arrived in Los Angeles without letting his embassy know. He always travels with a retinue, but this time he came practically unattended to see the lady of his heart. He saw none of his friends in California, and spent all of his time either at the house Rita rented for him across from her own home, or at hers. He slipped out of town even more quietly than he had entered it. If Ali should seek a divorce, it would take a long time — and right now his wife, although separated from him, has not consented to free him.
