Dyar Below: Walter Connolly returns to the stage to give a superb performance in "The Bishop Misbehaves." Alan Marshall and Jane Wyatt are with him. WE'RE all upset this month, and no wonder. After faithfully promising not to do any more costume roles for a while, Freddie March jumps into a Russian kimono and funny cap to do another dashing officer opposite la Garbo! In his own words, he told us; "Enough is enough. I've done so many costume pictures that I can't even go out socially without wrapping a sword around me! I have to call in a technical adviser to eliminate the possibility of a sartorial faux pas And twice this month Mrs. March had to drag me back after we'd started to a party and make me shave, because I've worn so many whiskers lately that it seems perfectly natural to let 'em grow! No more costume pictures. No, sir! " And now look at the guy! S~\ NE of the most tragic events of the month occurred \_J when Anita Louise's Spitz puppy chewed up the diary which she had kept faithfully for nearly four years. The record went clear back to Anita's first job, with Gloria Swanson, in "Untamed Lady," and had been brought up to date with an interesting account of her latest performance, in "A Midsummer Night's Dream." Knoiving Anita to be one of the gentlest souls in the world, we wondered what sort of punishment had been meted out to the pup. "None at all," she smiled sadly. "When he heard my wail of dismay as I came across the wreckage, he wagged his tail uncertainly, cocked Ms head on one side and looked up at me so penitently . . . well, what can you do with a dog like that?" And, recalling the sad affair between our own wire-hair and a brand new spring fedora, we joined Anita at the wailing wall and agreed that you just can't do a thing about it. CATCHING Anita doing the town with Tommy Lee several times recently, we were afraid it might be the end of a beautiful romance between the little lady and her long-time beau Tom Brown. But at a cocktail party in honor of Fred Stone and his charming daughter, Paula, it did this old heart good to see Anita and Tom, billing and cooing as of yore. Premeditated or not, the party fixed up a lot of busted hearts. It might have been the very excellent punch, but whatever it was, Connie Simpson and Jack LaRue fixed up their erstwhile difficulties, deciding to carry on from where they left off several days before. And Cary Grant seemed to be finding complete solace from his Virginia Cherrill heartbreak in the delectable Ida Lupino, who looked as though she'd just stepped out of a Patou band-box! /EAN HARLOW and Clark Gable had a hand in those three birthday cakes, delivered to Wallace Beery on the set the other day. One of the cakes was made of wood and frosted prettily, and Wally was all smiles until he tried to cut himself a hunk. The second ivas made of cotton, with Beery growing more and more perturbed all the time, so that when they brought in the third one, which ivas the McCoy, he flatly refused to have anything to do with it. So the others on the set pitched in and ate it up before Wally could change his mind! And ivas Wally surprised that it really was cake! White 28 The New Movie Magazine, July. 1935
