BSjflHBMNMB v 1 1 •" • a»:'"^^ Reverting to their spool-days : Eddie Nugent and Anita Page prove themselves still expert at playing the once so popular game of diabolo Lupe Loses and Wins EPE VELEZ was one of those favored with an invitation to meet Prince George of England when he was here — very much incog. But she confesses that she did not make a hit with royalty, although she was dressed up in a black velvet with a long train and looked "ver' nize." "He said, 'I axpected you would be wild,' " Lupe relates. "So I din' get my man — only all the res' of the mans that was there." Luckless Stars AT a recent air-meet a number of motion L picture stars were invited to ride with Lindbergh. They arrived at the air field at the designated hour in their best clothes to find that they were to be taken to the meet by another and less famous aviator. But at least, they would make a sensational landing before the grand-stand. They powdered their noses and applied lipsticks industriously all the way to the air meet, landed in front of the grand-stand and heard a great storm of applause, as they left the plane. But their satisfaction was short lived. As they stood bowing to right and left, gentlemen in overalls dashed toward them screaming coarsely, "Who 'n 'ell d'you think you are? Whatta ya mean by standing there; get outa the way — quick, see?" They discovered that the applause was for seven aviators rapidly descending upon their heads from the clouds in parachutes. And as they straggled, discomfited, into the grand-stand, the final blow was to hear shouts from behind them, "Down in front! Sit down! You're in the way! Who do you think you are, anyhow?" A Royal Good Time ANYHOW, Prince George had a good ■ time. He may be on bread and water now; he may have had a scolding by cable from Buckingham Palace. But who will ever forget his beaming face as he danced -at the Plantation with Lili Damita. "Why didn't I know about this before?" his royal nibs is said to have exclaimed. " I wouldn't have wasted so much time elsewhere." The Stalker Stalked AND there was the newspaper and fan ■**• magazine writer who stalked the Prince with a flashlight, cameraman and a reporter in the corridor of the Ambassador. The reporter was to stumble when she gave the signal that the Prince was coming and delay His Highness till the flashlight man could get a picture. While waiting, the newspaper woman looked at bracelets in one of the swanky little specialty shops, turning now and again to signal her confreres. Just as the Prince hove in sight and she was about to signal them to pull their stuff, she felt her arms seized firmly from behind by the proprietor of the jewelry shop who had made up his mind that she was a bandit queen. When she finished explaining, the Prince had passed. Concerning Erb and Hal [" ASKED a prominent English star what ■*• his political preferences were in the coming elections. "Oh, decidedly 'Erbert 'Oover," said he. "H'Al Smith isn't known h'abroad." Gin and Titters ONE of the members of the British film colony in Hollywood had just heard of the application of several English public houses for licenses to show pictures on their premises. "Not a good idea at all," he remarked. "The picture business over there is aleing badly enough as it is." Reprisals in Order IT looks as if the invasion of the talkies by actors from the speaking stage is bringing on a counter-attack from the artists of the screen. Already Estelle Taylor and Dorothy Gish, both in Broadway theatrical productions, have made the leap into both speech and personal presence. And now comes word that the vaudeville stage soon will see Virginia Valli, Mrs. Wallace Reid — the former Dorothy Davenport— Montague Love, Victor Varconi, Gareth Hughes and Helene Chadwick.
