Hollywood Today TVTO one is more surprised over Marie Dressler's sensaK tional success than Marie Dressier. Two years ago Marie told a friend, " I'm all cleaned up. I'm just a fat old woman and nobody wants me." Now, word drifts back from London that Marie is creating more of a riot than even Mary and Doug. When she was in New York, a whole squad of Elks, or Boy Scouts, or something, stood lined up in her corridor just waiting for a chance to shake hands with her. In the meantime M-G-M is lining up another co-starring picture with Polly Moran. "Caught Short" has been standing them in line all over the country. ► EBE Daniels lunching at the Embassy in a smart sweater-and-skirt suit. Ditto for Ina Claire. Red-white-and-blue being the favorite combination for Hollywood sports clothes. Lucille Gleason entertaining at the Dominoes Club. Dorothy Dwan, at Lucille's party, admitting that she is quite finished with pictures.

Lilyan Tashman experimenting with unusual coiffures in a beauty parlor. IF you ever have occasion to lunch at Eddie Quillan's house — take a tip! Don't eat for a week. Mama Quillan sets a luncheon board that would shame the twelve-course dinners at the Mayfair or the Embassy. "Just a little snack," she calls it, referring to chicken and potatoes, hot biscuits, two kinds of salads, potato and fruit, stuffed celery, stuffed eggs, ice cream and cake. And don't forget there are fourteen of the Quillans! NOW that the reports are all in, they say William Haines made more money for M-G-M than any other star last year. Greta Garbo was second. Joan Crawford third. John Gilbert, who formerly led the box-office parade with Greta, can't be counted as he made so few pictures. [Continued on page lOj) \ .-v. Becoming high-hat: but Marlene Dietrich is becoming any way. And the has a right to the tall topper, making her talkie d6but opposite Gary Cooper in "Morocco" Fryer Where there's a light there's a smoke: Guinn Williams, who knows his broncos and cattle rustlers, goes downright Western in "The Bad Man" and rolls his own 45
