Richee Eton grad makes good in movie racket: John Loder has come, by way of an army career, from England's most aristocratic public school, to score as a film actor in "The Sunset Pass" and "Half an Hour" Hesser Polly Ann Young has good reason to hold up her chin — two good reasons, in fact, they being her performances in "The Bellamy Trial" and, more lately, in "Mask of the Devil" with John Gilbert /booking *^hem ©ver Close-Ups From the West Coast ( Op E R A— Football— Mayfair— Parties — Hollywood has just got off to the most brilliant social season it has enjoyed in years. The fall brought on a perfect avalanche of places to go and things to see that has kept the folks in ermine and tuxedos practically every evening. Crabbing Carmen THE opera has been the most diamondsparkling event so far. Everybody went, whether they enjoyed it or not. The night Jeritza sang Carmen I spotted among those magnificently present: Lilyan Tashman and Eddie Lowe, Norma Shearer and Irving Thalberg, June Collyer, Sam Goldwyn and Frances Howard, Marian Nixon, Mary Brian, Jetta Goudal, and many others. Hollywood wasn't so sold on Jeritza as Carmen as it might have been. The favorite song-bird of New York made the favorites of the studios lonesome for Geraldine Farrar. Jean Darlen is an important figure in Hal Roach comedies. And has. The Jeweled Hot-Water Bottle THE next most be-studded event was the openmg of the Mayfair series of parties. The honored guests of the evening were Norma Shearer and Irving Thalberg, it being their wedding anniversary. Somebody won a diamond-studded hot water bottle, for something or other; and a lot of the home talent did impromptu bits of entertainment. The movie folks do things at the Mayfair 60 that they wouldn't think of doing out in public, for no tourists are allowed. It's as exclusive as a dinner party at Pickfair. Everybody had a howling good time with the possible exception of Matty Kemp. One of his pals gagged on Matty and kept yelling for him to do something. As Matty doesn't do anything outside of pictures — not even play' the saxophone — he spent most of his evening jerking nervously at his collar and protesting his amateur rating. Making for Matty BY the way, since Matty and Sally Filers broke off their engagement, Matty has been one of our most sought-after young men. He and Bebe Daniels showed Up together at Ona Brown's big party, and Loretta Young is one of his favorite Montmartre partners. The Rhonda a Rendez-vous THE party given by Ona and Phyllis Haver was one of those bigger and better affairs of this season. About two hundred people were invited and they had to rent an entire apartmentcourt for the event. The new Rhonda was the scene. During the events of the evening Bert Lytell rushed up to Claire Windsor, pumped her hand up and down in friendly gusto, and said he was awfully, awfully, glad to see her again. It was the first time Claire and Bert had met since their separation. Another feature of the same party was the arrival of Lupe Velez with Norman Kerry.
