Among those at the very Fahrenheit of popularity as screen lovers are, farthest left, Greta Garbo and John Gilbert; above them, Norma Talmadge and Gilbert Roland; below these, Evelyn Brent and Clive Brook; at the right and above, Nancy Carroll and Richard Arlen; and, at the right of the page, Richard Arlen and Mary Brian BY HELEN LOUISE WALKER WHO says there is no domestic life in Hollywood? There is. Dear me, yes! In fact, we go other communities one better and boast people in our midst who lead two kinds of domestic existences at once. The first kind is quite ordinary. (Except for the fact that it is a trifle spasmodic and proceeds in fits and starts, as it were!) People marry and establish homes and bring up children in a more or less normal manner. But the epidemic of love-teams in pictures has introduced another type of domesticity which might almost be called companionate, in that the members of the team have separate homes and separate incomes and bank accounts. They may even have husbands and wives on the side! But the fact remains that the members of a love-team spend many more hours in each other's company than they spend with their own better halves, if any. And they certainly have more opportunity — indeed, necessity! — for making love to their professional mates. Conrad Nagel, who, in private life, is a model young husband and father, was asked by a stranger what he did for a living. "Oh," returned Conrad, airily, "I make love to Dolores Costello every day from nine until five!" We'll wager that few young wives, even in the first six months of marriage, ever enjoyed any such concentrated attention from their husbands as THAT! The success of the Gilbert-Garbo and Colman-Banky combinations is responsible for the epidemic of teams of screen lovers. Passion in Pairs F I AR AMOUNT has burst forth with no less than five such pairs. Evelyn Brent and Clive Brook, we are told, will depict sophisticated love for the edification of picture-^oers. Fay Wray and Gary Cooper will show us how beautiful a deep and spiritual love can be. Ruth Taylor and lames Hall will strut their stuff in a flippant, necking variety of the old, old story. 28
