dance like the flames and I will bathe your feet in perfume water. 100 pieces of silver is my purchase price." Mr. Lederer is scared. He says, "If she will come for that price — maybe she'll just come anyway !" MRS COLUMBO is still too ill to be told of the tragic death of her son, Russ. Every day she receives a beautiful box of flowers with a card : "From Carole and Russ with love." Carole Lombard was much in love with Russ Columbo and she is doing everything possible to help the family in preventing his mother from hearing of his death while there is yet danger such a shock would be fatal. The most conspicuous thing about George Raft's dressing room at the studio is a huge picture of Virginia Pine. We looked real close and found the following writing at the bottom : "To George Darling, with all my love, always." The face in the photograph is beautiful, but Virginia has her finger in her mouth and Georgie says it reminds him of Baby LeRoy. The dressing room is brand new and George has been wondering how such a swell room was passed up by the rest of the gang so long. The secret is out. Every time Raft pulls a door knob or a dresser drawer, the knob comes off in his hand. We're guessing the gang put Georgie on the spot. That's why the dressing room was still vacant when he got around to make his choice. 'Tis said that Helen will refuse any further picture assignments until the little one arrives. If the studio remembers their first (Act-of-God) baby, we have a strong hunch they will allow her the vacation without a quibble. Cora Sue Collins reads all the newspapers and, what's more, remembers what she reads. The other dinner hour, she pulled the following to prove it : "Mama, I'm getting worried abuot Greta Garbo." "And why is this?" smiled mama. "Well," sighed little Cora Sue, "I see in the papers where she is having her twenty-eighth birthday today and she isn't married yet. You know, I think maybe Greta Garbo will be an old maid !" Rumor has it that Helen Hayes and Charlie MacArthur are expecting. There is much clapping of hands. Bing Crosby wishes, now, that he hadn't had the twin's nursery built right next to his and Dixie's room. They take turns at yelling . . . Terrible news for Harlow : a European camera artist arrives to say that the new color-pictures will do away with platinum blondes, because they look too artificial . . . Dietrich's daughter, Maria, has learned the tricks. When the news cameramen try to snap them, now, Maria covers her face, too . . . Leo Carrillo caught a 300pound fish and sent it to a food station for the unemployed . . . Fred Perry, tennis champ, made some cracks (aside) to the audience during the tennis match that didn't help his local standing any . . . 'Tis said that Kay Francis' new heart is an Italian count, which should count out Chevalier. Sorry ! . . . The dog house being built for Dick Powell's new home will be an exact replica of the main house . . . Helen Mack, Maureen O'Sullivan and Mary Doran all at the hospital for tonsils . . . Director Mervyn LeRoy is getting a nursery ready for next spring . . . Hal Rosson, ex of Jean Harlow, is seeing the sights of London with the Countess Gargen . . . Hollywood is watching with interest the fact that Gilbert Roland has been palling around with Gloria Swanson and Herbert Marshall. It should have some result. Jack Oakie was sore. Here he was, one of the most invited guys in Hollywood and he had yet to see the inside of the gorgeous $250,000 Lubitsch mansion. He asked the director why he never invited any of the 'younger set." Lubitsch replied : "I should be delighted to have you come over and bring some of your young friends." He then promptly forgot all about it. Jack didn't. A few nights later he rounded up Mary Brian and Helen Mack, got them all togged out in kids clothes, bought a flock of toys and descended upon Herr Lubitsch for the evening. "We kept him up almost all night, too," smiled Oakie. "We had him trying to learn how to run a toy train." Wonder what Connie Bennett thought when the judge in that famous scandal case in New York made the remark : "Who is the Constance Bennett who has been mentioned ? I never heard of her."
