Photoplay (Jul - Dec 1936)

Cal York's Gossip of Hollywood CONTINUED FROM PAGE 29 ] Seldom does our camera man catch up with Mr. and Mrs. Spencer Tracy, but here he caught that elusive couple with George Burns at the Trocadero n: IOW friends of Margaret Sullavan are buzzing in circles again — because just as they had it all figured out that she would remarry Hank Fonda, she began riding around with ex-husband Willie Wyler on his motorcycle. Broken arm and all. They arrived in a cloud of exhaust at the West Side Tennis Matches, and everyone missed the first set. \\JIHA T-Thcy-Put-Up-With-For-Thcir Puby\/lic Department: Ginger Rogers was told casually that she would have to wash her hair in a scene for "Swing Time," and that was all right with her. But somehow the sequence just wouldn't go right — and when finally the director was satisfied, Ginger found she'd used twenty gallons of soap suds and seven new make-ups during the twelve hours of continuous washing! What her hairdresser said the next day was something awful! THE laugh of the month. And on Douglas Fairbanks at that. Seven months ago, while in Europe, Douglas bought a wedding gift for Myrna Loy and Arthur Hornblow, Jr. The wedding, however, had a way of getting itself put off from time to time, and as Doug traveled about considerably the Loy-Hornblow gift grew something of a nightmare as it was packed from place to place. And then came the wedding in Mexico, and Doug breathed a sigh of relief. He could at last unburden himself of that gift. With his wife, he Hew to Mexico to greet the bride and groom. Pshaw! You guessed it. He no sooner landed than it was discovered he had forgotten to bring that gift. He still has it. "I ATEST on the Bob TaylorBarbara |_ Stanwyck situation is that she has given him a toy electric train. Yup (yes?) they were standing in front of a toy shop and Bob said, "I've always wanted one of those things and never had one." And Barbara said, "Then you shall have one, little boy." 86 Only he hasn't had a chance to putter with it yet. Barbara just thought she'd hook it up in her living room to see if it would go and it's still there. HAVE patience you romantic gals who suffer in silence with that "I'm taller than he" complex, and profit by a young Hollywood romance which is assuming that "Oh, so blissful" stage — Toby Wing and Tom Brown. For years Toby had admired Tom and wanted to know him, and Tom had had his eye on Toby for the same long tine. But there was that complexing problem. Toby was taller than Tom, so what to do about it? Their's was a happy surprise when they met at a preview one night and found that with his coming of age Tom had grown inches taller, and now topped Toby's %p* blond crown by half a head. They've been going steady ever since. F it's possible to make any kind of new record in Hollywood Jean Hersholt has the honors. "You read," he says, "about all these tremendous expense items for the wardrobe. Ten thousand for this dress; a thousand for that hat. Well, here's the itemized list of the money I spent on a complete wardrobe for my latest picture. Tie it if you can." One white shirt One pair soiled white duck trousers One pair white canvas shoes Total MYRXA LOY and her new husband, producer Arthur Hornblow, Jr., returned to Hollywood after but two days honeymoon. Asked why, Myrna said, "Neither of us have time off now, so we're not to have our honeymoon until later." The couple will leave Hollywood in the late fall for a four months jaunt through Europe. THE Glenda Farrell-Craig Reynolds amour is steaming away with a friendship bracelet as a present from Craig on Glenda's birthday. All her days, says Glenda, she's wanted a friendship bracelet, and now she has one with all the trimmings. Her pets in miniature dangle on gold chains from the dainty links, and a tiny gold wedding ring makes folks ask questions. CHARLES COLLINS, the attractive young dancer who rocketed to stardom overnight in his role in "The Dancing Pirate," is crushed with grief. Seems Charlie had the opportunity to buy a lot in Oklahoma for fifteen dollars before fame and Hollywood snatched him, but postponed decision until all too late. Last week an oil gusher came in right smack in the middle of the property which was almost his. Ronald Colman turns singing teacher and instructs a band of Tibe'.an youngsters in the fine art of carolling "Now We Go Gathering Nuts in May." This is one of many amusing scenes in James Hilton's "Lost Horizon"
