News! -Views! of Stars While some people are still rummaging for last summer's bathing suit, Hollywood is plunging about in the ocean. June Collyer, now a Paramount actress, waving to come on in — the end of the pier is fine ! EVERYTHING is all sunshine and happiness at the Grant Withers-Loretta Young home. The apartment is one of the most beautifully furnished in Hollywood and the bride and groom are as happy as if there had been no trouble over the wedding. What is more, Loretta's mother has forgiven all. The other day Loretta had invited guests over for dinner, but had forgotten that it was the cook's night off. In a panic she called her mother, who came to the apartment and cooked the best meal that has been served there since the marriage. Even Sally Blane and Polly Ann Young, her sisters, are reconciled. IF it were not for the word "ironic" we'd just give up writing about Hollywood, for here's a real little sob story, even if it did have a happy ending. When Grant Withers and Loretta Young came back from Arizona, after their elopement, Loretta's mother took steps to have the marriage annulled. That day Grant and Loretta were working in a picture together. They played love scenes, no doubt among the most poignant ever filmed, for they believed that their gorgeous happiness was crashing about their heads. 50 A spry little old gentleman who now finds himself, to his surprise, a. king of the talking screen. Mr. and Mrs. George Arliss as they looked on their recent return from a holiday in Merrie England Around Loretta's neck, on a ribbon, was her wedding ring. She could not wear it in the picture and she did not know then that she would ever wear it again. They believed that the law was not to allow them to adore each other, but before the camera they might pour forth their love. /"^ONSTANCE BENNETT and Eric Von Stroheim were ^ doing a love scene in "Three Faces East." "Now," said the director, "I want a little more hot stuff in this scene. Kiss her like you meant it, Von." Von did. They listened to the play-back. "Wait a minute," said the director. "What was the snapping sound I heard?" "That," said Connie, "was the third vertebra in my neck." A LITTLE old gentleman — with a mincing step, and monocle in eye — came down the gang-plank of a trans-Atlantic liner in New York not long ago. And a hint of a tear glistened in his unglazed eye. The little old gentleman was Mr. George Arliss, whose amazing film success with "Disraeli" has almost made him forget his beloved theater. And the tear was in his eye because, for the first time in thirty years, "Hinky Bits Hail Columbia" was not along! That (for Heaven's sake!) is the name of the Arliss parrot, probably the most beloved bird in the world. A harsh and unfeeling government has refused to allow pollys, pretty or otherwise, to enter this country since the psittacosis scare. So Hinky-and-so-on had to be left in England. •
