Photoplay Magazine — Advertising Section 107 Either the net is too high, or else Patsy Ruth CARES. \\'rite your own diagnosis. ""pHE turtle doves are coo-cooinK once again ■' around the door of the old James Forbes mansion. For James and Ruth Chatterton, his lady wife, have made up and are together once more. They were separated for a httle over a year. Ruth, a famous stage star, practically gave up her footlight career to be near her handsome young husband at the Metro-Goldwyn studio. They grew apart, and finally decided to disagree, amicably enough, but firmly. Then the rich Chatterton voice was conscripted fof a Paramount talking picture, and very shortly thereafter Hollywood was glad to note that Ruthie and Jimmy were going together. In no time at all came the announcement that they were living together again. And se\'eral turtle do\'es immediately went out to the old Forbes manse and began cooing a serenade. PULLING a Prince of Wales tumbled Dangerous Gwen Lee into the movies! When Gwen was an e.\tra, George Fitzmaurice promised her a few days' work if she could ride a horse English fashion. Gwen had never done it, and she didn't feel any better when she learned she was supposed to play polo in a slippery batliing suit. But up and away went Gwen, game to the last bounce, and in about fourteen seconds the horse grew bored and tossed her off. Gwen lit on the ground with a thump. "Ha, ha!" laughed George, "that's great. We'll leave it in!" .\nd Gwen Lee was a movie comedienne! 'T^H.\T musical gurgle you hear is Dorothy •' Sebastian having the last laugh. .■\bout three years ago Dorothy sweetly confided to our shell-pink ear that she would never marry — that freedom was sweet and her film career the big shot in her life. "The usual bunk!" thought we, and when she became engaged to Clarence Brown, the briUiant director, we had to gag ourself to keep from yelling "I told you so." Now Dorothy has made a sucker out of us by announcing with gestures that she is not going to marry Clarence after all. That is her story, and she is sticking to it. The wedding bells are muffled, and the only music on the air is Sebastian's last laugh. WELL, it would come out sooner or later, and it might as well be sooner. Virginia Cherrill, Charlie ChapUn's new leading woman, has been married and divorced. Her former helpmate is a nephew of Feli.x Adler, and he li\'es in Chicago, we hear. Virgie makes her film bow toward the end of the first reel of Chaplin's new "City Lights." And gosh knows when that will be seen! In the meantime, Virginia twitters about Hollywood in the company of Eddie Sutherland, and has herself a swell time. MONTE BLUE'S baby boy was bom on his wife's birthday. Sam Warner, the mad wag, sent the following congratulatory wire: "Congratulations on Little Boy Blue." "N/OU should see the suite of dressing rooms •'■ at the Warner Studio that has been prepared for John Barrymore and Dolores Costello when that famous pair of honeymooners go back to toil! The last word in bathrooms has been installed. It is a super-special — in fact, with one more gadget, it would be an epic. And there are many rooms just for the accommodation of the stars' huge wardrobes. ORANT WITHERS, Claire Windsor's cur^--'rent boy friend, was twenty-four years old the other day, and the present was a beauty.
