News And Views O Loretta Young congratulating Douglas Fairbanks, Jr., on his new starring contract. Joan Crawford beaming with pride at her husband's success. Lawrence Tibhett lunching in a vivid bathrobe in the M-G-M caj'e. • • • THE feud between Cecil de Mille and Charles Bickford evidently hasn't extended into a family affair, for William de Mille has selected the virile red-headed boy for the lead in "The Passion Flower." Bickford and Cecil de Mille reached some sort of heated misunderstanding during the filming of "Dynamite" that has never been cleared up. The story goes that De Mille made a characteristically sarcastic remark about Charlie's acting ability and, in place of cringing (as most of them do), the Bickford fellow came right back with some equally sarcastic reference to De Mille's directorial talents. • • • I AM still engaged," confessed Lily Damita, to the Parisian reporters on the occasion of her return to her native city, and spoiled it all by adding: "But I cannot tell you my fiance's name. By the time you would have published the news, I might have changed it." • • • KAY FRANCIS "fishing" quarters out of her fan mail letters. M'G-M cafe waitress on her way to Greta Garbo' s dressing Fryer The voice with the grin wins: besides being young Doug's young stepfather, Jack Whiting gets a kick out of working at "Top Speed" and other things, after Broadway room with a bottle of near-beer. John Boles, his wife and four friends in a heavy Blac Jack game at Malibu. Janet Gaynor receiving the press at a "make up" luncheo at the Fox Studio. Maureen O'Sullivan and John Farrow dining at ih Cocoanut Grove — and very mutually interested, too. • • • GLORIA and the Marquis de la Falaise, etc., havel reached a definite parting of the ways. Several weeks ago, before the arrival of Hank in Hollywood, Gloria gave out an interview in which she said she hoped her titled husband would not want a divorce. She said she was perfectly content with their marital relations, even though it meant that Hank lived his life in Paris, while Hollywood claimed most of her time. Evidently this long distance romance did not appeal so much to the Marquis. He had been in Hollywood only a day when both he and Gloria verified reports of their separation. Hank's first official call in the film city was on Constance Bennett. * • • NOT more than a week after the parting of Gloria and Hank, the lady's first husband, Wally Beery, confirmed reports of divorce proceedings in his own household. Wally, stout villain of the screen, merely says that the present Mrs. Beery is "just going away." No, she isn't coming back. That's all, thank you. Having won his spurs, Robert Montgomery is beginning to look more and more like a fixture on the West Coast. He has just lassoed another big part in "War Nurse" 44
