Freulich With Billie Dove to play opposite him, Antonio Moreno, must have an effortless task. For the name of the photoplay is "Adoration" And by the same token Glenn Tryon justifies his fitness for the principal characterization in "The Kid's Clever" in choosing Kathryn Crawford. yjooking ^hem ©ver Close 'Up s From the West Coast THE latest comedy-drama to engage our attention is a little local skit called "Meet the Prince." The leading role was portrayed by Prince George of England, a.w.o.l. in Hollywood, and the rest of the cast was made up of Hollywood belles engaged in meeting him. June CoUyer occupied most of the newspaper space with His Highness, with Lili Damita ioveral columns and a couple of pictures behind. Up until the time the Prince met June, Lili had been right out in front; but the beautiful CoUyer girl stole the lead at the dinner given by Mary and Doug at Pickfair when she arrived in a lovely black and white gown with a raft of orchids afloat on her shoulder. Lili and Mary Pickford sat nearest the Prince, but the next day when he lunched at the Ambassador, June and Gloria Swanson were the only ladies in his party. Florida fruit-growers must indeed look to their laurels when California comes forward with such a product as Peaches Jackson His Highness Plays Hooky THE) popular young royal visitor was in Hollywood for a mere twenty-four hours and did not remain any longer, for the uncomplicated reason that he was not supposed to have been here in the first place. His commanding officer had repeatedly refused Lieutenant Windsor permission to visit the movies. Just like the action in a good old plot, the Prince fooled 'em and slipped away. Considering his short stay, he got in a good deal of sightseeing. My spies tell me that, following the Fairbanks' dinner, the Prince and his party, including Gloria, June and Lili, 60 motored over to Roscoe Arbuckle's Plantation and remained until it was time to go to Gloria Swanson's for breakfast. Allowing for a time elapse to change from evening to street clothes, they were next spotted, with the exception of Lili, at the Ambassador for lunch. One June Day THE Prince, it seems, was really quite anxious to find out all sorts of things about June Collyer. For instance, where she worked. More than that, he wanted to see June actually working, but inasmuch as it was her day off, the best she could do was escort him through the Fox studios. The highlight of his visit there was a one-reel Movitone feature of his brother, the Prince of Wales. They say that never did His Highness seem more like you and me than when he heard his brother's voice coming right out of the screen at him when three thousand miles and a couple of oceans separated them. Flowers for the Lady THE Fox visit just about completed his twenty-four hours of hooky from his boat and he had to hurry back following that. But he was not so much in a hurry that he didn't have time to stop by a florist's and order the largest corsage of orchids that has ever been made up in this town for June. Attached was a little card thanking her for her hospitality and extending the hope that he might be permitted to return the graciousness should she come to England.
