The Thing: Some Ladies To Fea Q Feminin § Lilyan Tashman (left): "Wives hate women who are gracious to their husbands— who get so little graciousness at home." Hedda Hopper (right ) : "Most wives hate and fear the wrong type of Other Woman" Ball B y GLADYS HALL THE idea for this trenchant, timely and topical tale came direct from Hedda Hopper.

That Hedda has as many women friends as men friends and a legion of both is a tribute royal to the one hundred per cent, sportsmanship of Hedda.

We were talking, Hedda and I, on the Metro lot. On the set of "Let Us Be Gay," Norma Shearer's last picture before the Blessed Event. Hedda said, pointing to the dark and violet-sweet Norma, "There is the cleverest girl in Hollywood!" She went on to discourse on diet and Swedish massage. She goes in for both.
