Corinne Griffith Gives the Smartest Formal Dinner of the Hollywood Social Season By EVELYN GRAY MR. and Mrs. Walter Morosco (Corinne Griffith) were hosts recently at the most beautiful formal dinner party ever given in the film colony, when they entertained in honor of William Goetz and Edith Mayer, daughter of Louis B. Mayer. Mr. Goetz and Miss Mayer were married the following week. The Embassy Club was chosen by Miss Griffith as the scene of her party and the whole main dining room was turned over to her for the occasion. The pale green and gold decorations of this room, which is one of exceptional beauty, together with the crystal chandeliers and fixtures, were enhanced by the masses of pale pink roses, huge baskets of peach blossoms, and pink gladiolas which were used for decoration. Pale pink candles and heavy crystal goblets were used on the table and places were laid for over a hundred guests. A/fR and Mrs. Morosco, Mr. Goetz -*-*-* and Miss Mayer received the many distinguished motion picture folk in the foyer at the head of the stairs. The hostess wore an exquisite frock of pale rose chiffon, belted at the waist and touching the floor. Miss Mayer was in ivory satin, softly draped and particularly effective under the gleaming lights. She made a lovely appearance. The balcony, on which luncheon and dinner are served at the Embassy in the summer, was enclosed by bright awnings for the evening and the guests gathered there for hors d'oeuvres before sitting down. An orchestra played throughout the dinner and later the floor was cleared for dancing.
