Is he okeh?" \Yhich goes to show that he may be FrimI some place, but in Hollywood, Rudolph is just another bank depositor. T3ARADOX: King Vidor made money by -* paying more than he should for something. Explanation: The California law provides that when one has been mulcted by a usurer, he may recover at law thrice the amount usuriously paid. Vidor and his brother, C S. Vidor, borrowed money for a studio construction job. The company they borrowed from charged them more than the legal rate of interest, they alleged in a subsequent suit. The court, after hearing the evidence, agreed that they had been overcharged S11.07S.54, and awarded them damages in treble that amount — 833,235.

Of course he isn't studying Americanization or algebra, but he goes to school nevertheless. He is enrolled in the navigation class at the University of Southern California. Ever since Xeil bought his big sail boat he has wanted to know all about it, fore and aft, port and starboard. He's the only student in the class with a real, honest-to-gosh yacht to practice on.

When Joan is being grand it's a diamond necklace with a stunning pendant, but the pendant comes off and becomes a pin and the necklace un-snaps and becomes two bracelets that can be worn with street and afternoon frocks. MAYBE the fans have never heard of Fay Marbe. Well, Hollywood hadn't either until a few months ago, but she has taught these film stars things they never dreamed about publicity. Fay is an American girl, but her triumphs have been made for the most part in Europe. .She is a notable figure in Paris, London and Berlin. Now she is on the Camera Coast, and Old Cal will give you just one guess w-hy she's here. Some of her exploits are really quite fascinating, and the newspapers just ate 'em alive. Her smile is insured for fifty thousand pounds. Each leg is insured for ten thousand pounds. That's old stuff after all. One of her most famous exploits was a divorce party. She invited a lot of estranged wives to one party, and their ex-husbands to another. Then she assembled them all at a third place. You can imagine what happened. It was a nine-day European scandal. She has entertained the ex-Kaiser in Doom, and she was "insulted" by a nobleman in a London night club. Of course, in some way or other, these things were revealed to the press. Most annoying, too. DOUG FAIRBANKS was escorting people about the United Artists lot. He greeted ; newcomer, and there were introductions. One of them was a good-looking, effective young man. Doug introduced him like this — "... and you know Commander Byrd, don't you all? " Gasps. Astonishment. Stupefaction. Amazement. Oh, lots of words like that! "Commander Byrd? Commander BYRD! — why, I thought Commander Byrd was snow E\.ry advertisement in PTIOTOrLAT MAGAZINE is guaranteed.
