JUST to squash the rumors that he and Lola Lane were at outs, Lew Ayres gave her a wrist watch set with thirty-two diamonds. We know lots of girls who'd quarrel with the boy friend for that. . . . Wes Ruggles, who directed "Cimarron," had a nervous breakdown after that picture. He's feeling fine now and the reason is he's all that way about Arline Judge, a Broadway comedienne now working for Radio Pictures. . . .

At last, at last, at last, William Powell and Carole Lombard announce publicly that they're going to be Mr. and Mrs. William Powell as soon as they get time off to be married. . . .
