and you might with justice call that party a honey, because it really was that — a honey party. Chick owns a bee ranch, you know, and he held his natal festivities out there. Xot that anybody except two or three hardy souls, like Claudia Coleman. James Barton and Walter King, dared venture close to the hives. But Chick bestowed on each of his guests a huge jar of the sweet stuff. And the dessert at supper was biscuks and honey. Teaing With the Martin Johnsons T_TAYIXG tea with the Martin John-* -*■ sons, those makers of "Baboona" and other wild animal films, were Mr. and Mrs. Darryl Zanuck. The two couples had met — of all places! — in the wilds of Africa, when the Zanucks went down there to hunt big game. Mrs. Zanuck brought orchids for "Osie" (Mrs. Johnson) to wear that night when she lectured, and. though Osie had gathered orchids in the jungle, she was that thrilled! Claudette Colbert's Brick Party \X7 ELL, of all things — a brick party ! W Sounds sort of Irish, doesn't it? And Claudette Colbert is French. But, all the same, Claudette is going to have a brick party. But a peaceful one. Some fans gave her the idea. They sent bricks with the hint that she use them in her new home. So, just as soon as Claudette gets time for a party, she is going to issue invitations to her friends to come and bring bricks, autographed, to use in the building of the house she is planning. T/WTHERIXE DeMILLE has known "> Mitchell Leisen ever since he was her papa's art director, and she used to go over to the studio to have him admire the "Hum"' of her new white dress, when she was a mere child of five. The friendship has been kept up. and it didn't surprise us at all to receive an invitation to a party which Mitchell was giving for Katherine's house guest, Betty Saxe, of San Francisco. Such a lot of the guests arrived alone ! Gail Patrick, Laura Hope Crews. Catherine Alexander, were among the feminine guests who weren't afraid to venture forth into the night aione, while lone wolves among the masculine element included Randy Scott, Jack King. Carv Grant. John Cox. and Douglas Blackley. We all noted that Katherine DeMille danced a lot with Jack King. Helen Morgan's Traveled Cat \X7"E met Helen Morgan over at the v " Jocelyn Lee and James Seymour wedding reception, and she told us all about her much traveled cat, Charlie. "He has traveled thirty thousand miles with me," explained Helen. "He has a meowing acquaintance with cats in Paris, London. Xew York. Miami, Hollywood and way stations. Has he good manners? He has. I take him right into the compartment with me." The musicians arrived so late that everybody got nervous. Xancy Carroll relieved the strain by going out into Jocelyn's garden and swinging in a kid swing in a pepper tree, with Van Smith, frock coat and all, pushing her as she "worked up." as we used to say of climbing to heights in a swing. Thursday Night's the Night! C OME of the film stars do cook. ^ Four of them have a sort of organization. They are Sally Eilers. Mrs. Ricardo Cortez, Mrs. Pan Berman and Mrs. Mervyn Leroy. Taking turns, three of these repair with their spouses to the home of the other one, on Thursday nights, and the four gals concoct dinner for their husbands. So far there have been no casualties, although it is said that for a while there was a little feeling between Miss Eilers and Mrs. Leroy as to which made the best strawberry shortcake. The husbands kept mum. Leo Carrillo Obliges IVIXG right up to the best Spanish ■*— ' traditions, Leo Carrillo played host to a picture company which happened to be working on location next his Santa Monica ranch. The company, headed by Louise Fazenda, were provided with box lunches, as the players didn't want to go to a neighborhood cafe in make-up. But when Leo spotted the actors, he went right over and invited them to his ranch for lunch, got the barbecue fires going. and served all comers, including prop boys, grips and other workmen as well as stars, with chile beans, barbecued steaks and other good things. When the day's wTork was finished Louise, not to be outdone, asked Leo, his wife and daughter Antoinette and the company to sup at Thelma Todd's Cafe nearby. And Leo wrote an '"excuse" to Louise's husband, Hal Walks, a la school days, because Louise was late coming home.

And it wasn't a spider bite, after all. that injured Warner Baxter, but a broken finger, suffered playing tennis. Isabel Jewell says she got a "silent version" when she bought that Minah bird ; the punsters started pun-ishing everybody around when, on the set.
