The New Movie Magazine (Jan-Sep 1935)

The Stars at Play LOOKS as though we'll have to estab4 lish a society column for the kids of Hollywood. At least two important parties took place recently. Dolores Lee Printz, daughter of LeRoy Printz, was tiny hostess at one party, the guests including David Holt, Virginia Weidler, Baby LeRoy, Lois Kent and Billy Lee. Micky Mouse entertained in person. Mrs. Joseph Cawthorne gave a party for her little granddaughter, Peggy Kernell, and several children of famous folk were there, including Ottilie Kruger, Otto Kruger's daughter; John Barrymore's child, Dolores Ethel; Peggy Santley, Joe Santley's child, and others. It was a costume party and the guests came suitably dressed. DOTH Spencer Tracy and Loretta *-* Young were present at the party which Mr. and Mrs. Harry Lachman gave. But not together. Loretta came with a party, and Spencer arrived alone. They greeted each other, but there was no conversation. Maurice Chevalier, contrary to his custom, arrived alone, but was gallantly paying attention to all the ladies in succession. HP HE most brilliant of all the Screen ■*• Actors' Guild balls held annually during the past three years was the latest one. The Biltmore Bowl was beautiful, with its tiers of tables, each be-flowered and be-candled, and some thousand guests were present. Cocktails and hors d'oeuvres were served in the long lounge just outside the Bowl. Kenneth Thomson as president opened proceedings, and Lyle Talbot was m.c. Dancing and entertainment were enjoyed — followed by the grand march. Jimmy Cagney started a lot of fun by cutting in on Robert Montgomery and Chester Morris, each time he glimpsed one of them dancing with his own wife. Every time that happened Jimmy would hop out on the floor and gleefully take the lady away from her husband. Chester got even. Cagney and his wife dance beautifully together and enjoy it very much; but Chester gave them no chance, during the first few dances, after Jimmy's coup. He would cut in, each time, and grab Jimmy's lady away from him. Franchot Tone and Joan Crawford danced together all the evening, and when the orchestra played the strain from a popular song, Joan and Franchot sang it into each other's ears. But even there Jimmy Cagney managed to cut in, for he found himself the man nearest Joan when the grand march strains turned themselves into a fox trot, and when, according to the rules of the Guild floor committee, the man and woman finding themselves nearest each other must dance together. Joan confided to friends that Jimmy is her favorite actor. I don't know what Franchot means to do about that! HP HERE is nothing like the friendship of men, say some of the sages, and the friendship of Warner Baxter and his three pals, Bill Powell, Ronald Colman and Dick Barthelmess seems to prove it. They have been friends for years, and even now they foregather here and there every so often to hobnob together. Usually they meet on Sunday afternoons on Warner's sunny tennis court to play tennis, and then afterward to sup with Warner and his wife, with Mrs. Barthelmess frequently joining them. Jean Harlow is there once in a while, too. She wields quite a wicked racquet, you know. Gloria Swanson and Herbert Marshall came over the other evening for supper and a visit. JTDNA MURPHY, who went abroad several months ago, is back in Hollywood, looking prettier than ever. She has been visiting friends in Spain, and let us in on the fact that she was studying Spanish over there. One wonders if there is a handsome caballero somewhere there with a "castle in Spain." She won't tell, in spite of all our efforts to find out. She is seen about with George Stone a good deal, but both declare it's merely an old friendship. /"\NE of the sights these days is ^-' Charlie Chaplin and Paulette Goddard with the two Chaplin children, going places and doing things together. They gave, a little party for the boys not long ago, inviting some of their school mates from the Black Foxe Military School to go out on the Chaplin boat with them. And they took the youngsters up to Lake Arrowhead, where they taught young Charlie and Sidney how to do a little plain and fancy fishing. HpHERE was just a touch of the pro■■■ fessional to the party which some friends of Joe Morrison gave him on his birthday. Harry Revel and Max Gordon, who wrote the songs for his next musical, were on hand, and played them for him. Then Joe sang some songs from one of his pictures, "One Hour Late," and Sam Coslow played and warbled one of his compositions, "Little White Gardenia." t-JE is by way of being a country -*■ -* squire, these days, is Edward Everett Horton, what with his big Encino estate. He entertained Frank Lawton and Evelyn Laye at an English dinner, Yorkshire puddings and all. Ramon Novarro was there, too, but not a single tamale showed up on the menu. DATRICIA WHEELER seems to in herit her dad's quick wit. Down at Palm Springs the other day the seven-year-old was playing with another little girl. Suddenly the girl looked at Pat and laughed. "What you laughing at?" demanded Patricia. "Oh, at you," responded the child, "you look so funny with all those freckles!" "Well." cracked Patricia, "you look funny even without any freckles!" DOD LA ROCQUE and Vilma Banky ■*■ going about socially in Hollywood; everybody buying homes at Palm Springs, where they spend week-ends: Bob Woolsey, Louise Fazenda, Rosie Dolly, Samuel Goldwyn, Ann Harding, Jeanette MacDonald; tennis players gathering every Sunday afternoon at Dolores Del Rio's Santa Monica Canyon home for tennis, including Gary Cooper and Sandra Shaw, King Vidor. Norma Shearer; cocktail frocks aren't called cocktail frocks any more, they are now called bar-room dresses; despite the fact that Fred Keating and Patricia Ellis deny any romance, they are seen about at all the parties and openings together. P refer FAO EN ( FAY -ON) Among the many lovely women ■who prefer FAO EN to costlier perfumes is the distinguished Countess Jeanine de la Vairir. An arbiter of fashion and things tashionable, it is significant that FAO EN is found on her dressing fable and in her purse. "My selection of perfume is not influenced by price," she says. "Naturally, I have used many expensive perfumes, but I am intrigued by the facinating something about FAO EN (with its $1 to $3 quality) -which is subtly alluring and different. FAOEN is differerent . . . different in its mysterious power to transform attractiveness into compelling loveliness. Let Faoen send you forth to quicken pulses !
