LOOKING^JHEM OVER m Gossip From The West Coast EJwina ("Trader Horn") Booth — in black — looks all set for a big party. Yes, and another big role y Dorothy Manners Lillian Bond — in white — is also dressed to go places. To New York, so rumor has it, for a summer revue POLA NEGRI and Marlene Dietrich certainly eyed each other carefully, if cautiously, at the premiere of " Rebound." Marlene had the first good look as Pola, in a stunning white gown, swept down the aisle to her seat in front of Marlene and Josef von Sternberg. Every eye in the house, including la Dietrich's, was on the Polish flame as she flamed and bowed herself into the theater. The scouts from the outside say Pola occasioned even a greater "Ah" from the crowd than had Marlene herself when she entered — though Marlene's "Ah" was gasping enough. Any way you want to figure it, the girls stole the honors of the evening away from Ina Claire, who stars in the picture. DURING that big Taking A Bow Number at the end of the evening's festivities, Ina acquired the spotlight long enough to make a quaint curtain speech. She said: "For the first time in my life I am speechless." Maybe she realized for the first time that she was the only member of the cast to get her face into the camera! Or do you suppose she knew it all along? ROBERT MONTGOMERY has a right to be sore at those rumors that he is "hiding his wife in the background." Wherever that silly story started, it couldn't have been inspired through any actions or wishes of Bob's. The truth is that Mrs. Montgomery does not wish to be interviewed or quoted on her husband's success, and his company is not anxious to play up their fascinating leading man as "already spoken for." So far as the public goes, Mrs. Montgomery doesn't want to exist — but in private she's usually to be found right at Bob's elbow. (You may take that almost literally. She's not very tall.) The other night Bob and Mrs. Bob occupied a ringside table at the Cocoanut Grove. They danced together and held hands just like all the collegiate couples that jammed the floor. It's a funny thing about the Montgomerys — like Mike and Ike, they look alike. They could pass for brother and sister. Even their names are alliterative —Betty and Bob. CHARLIE CHAPLIN'S next picture, so the story goes, will be a talkie — but Charlie will keep his promise to remain silent by playing a deaf-anddumb man! No one seems to know when impulsive Charlie will decide to come home. He likes the Riviera so well he has been trying to rent a chateau. But one of these days he'll pack up and take the first boat. It's a bet. JACK OAKIE fat! Honest, pounds of it. Love is getting pounds and It isn't quite hot enough for Joan Marsh (above). Or does an engine boiler seem cool after those scenes in "The Great Lover" ? But Polly Walters (right), out from New York for "Expensive Women," is keeping herself on ice Fryer ncreaseth the weight. WHAT in the world has happened to the romance rumors concerning Richard Dix? Rich, who used to be reported engaged on an average ot once every six months, has not had his name linked with a pretty girl's for nearly a year now. Another "great lover"turned hermit? 45
