It's the handy size for every room at home, for your office and your car. (Continued from page 15) just come through two of the things, I beg to announce that even an operation in Hollywood is unlike one anywhere else on earth. They make a production of your operations out here . . . there is, most gratifying and first of all, that great rush of sympathy and affection toward you . . . for a couple of weeks Hollywood had me believing that I was not alone the only person who had ever been ill but most certainly the bravest . . . then there are the flowers that reach the hospital . . . don't think that Hollywood sends flowers in mere boxes . . . they come in every size and color of vase, already arranged and so excitingly beautiful that you can hardly bear it . . . and somehow, so keen are Hollywood personalities, that it even gets into their flower-buying and even before I looked at the attached cards I could usually tell which star had sent them. . . . Flowers from Tyrone Power have a reserved and romantic air about them . . . flowers from Gene Raymond and Jeanette MacDonald are actually amusing, as, for example, their remembering I was still stuck in the hospital on the Fourth of July and sending me, therefore, a "firecracker" — a gigantic bouquet of white carnations, blue delphinium and red, red gladioli positively exploding from a great white vase, tied round and round with red, white and blue ribbon . . . flowers from those inseparable pals, Madge Evans and Una Merkel, are dainty and cute little things in the most delicate vase of all . . . flowers from the very smart Mr. Robert Montgomery turn out to be a deep crystal bowl of the most beautiful orchids that last luxuriously through a whole week . . . Walter Wanger, the producer who distinguishes everything he touches, sends all at once not only the most beautiful flowers to look at, dozens upon dozens of long-stemmed yellow roses, but flowers to wear, great scarlet begonias, and flowers for perfume, lilies of the valley . . . and Irene Dunne thinks to wait until I am out of the hospital and convalescing and sends all-white flo R which seem so typical of her. . . . ' I HERE are, too, those stars whi 10 touching, practical things . . . like m Crawford, coming to the hospital to II taking one look at me and next »■ sending not one, but a boxful of1e most exquisite nightgowns . . . and -ls in the publicity departments who nt those necessary soaps and perfumes id colognes . . . and the most lovely t« of all . . . Claudette Colbert's quie v sistence that I must come to her lie to convalesce and her pretending « didn't know what it was all about \ j I was reduced to a state of terfl speechlessness through the mere farf lying still, day after day, watching ie sun cross her beautiful lawns and rdens, of eating breakfast, lunch and ■£ ner, such meals as I have only farfl before, of having my every wish gl fled by devoted maids even before If thought it and of having a whole ho I hold go around hushed because ofw mere presence. . . . Ah, I realize it is still considered rj smart to make fun of Hollywood an< itimate every star is stupid and everi 1: dividual is hard and selfish . . . wel may be smart but it isn't true. . . . I The values of generosity and imagji tion and the most disinterested kindss are on every hand in Hollywood . I know what I am talking about, fl have just been experiencing their jl erosities, given without any air of >■ ing a "Lady Bountiful" thing, but ras as its all being an amusing joke toi thoughtful of another person's corrr and to let you share luxury you c<l never earn, to let you witness be.} greater than you've ever dreamed of . Well, if publicly expressing my a] ward, inadequate gratitude for all I means anything, here's that express . . . I feel uncomfortably humble kn1' ing that I have done so little to rrl such kindliness from Hollywood . ? honestly don't deserve it but, gosh, Jl I have enjoyed it! . . . EENEX DISPOSABLE TISSUES ("Trade Mark Reg. U. S. Patent OJfice) Romance? Well, Judy Garland and Freddie Bartholomew are seen together at premieres, but the real lowdown is this: Judy has a "regular" boy friend and this scores as "just publicity" 86 PHOTOPL/
