DID ALICE FAYE AND TONY MARTIN QUARREL ON THEIR WEDDING EVE? «*» Rosalind Russell (above) is a newcomer to radio, but eagerness to learn microphone technique, says Fidler, isn't the reason she attends all rehearsals of the Packard program. Left, fun at Jimmy Wellington's new Santa Monica home: Lyle Talbot, Glenda Farrell, Margot Grahame, Jimmy, Mrs. Jimmy. Below, left, not -the picture Adolprie Menjou wants suppressed. BEHIND THE By JIMMIE FIDLER BEST laugh of the month was afforded at Bergen's cocktail party where Charlie McCarthy appeared in cowboy outfit, with fancytrimmed chaps. After the usual flurry of photo-snapping, Charlie was left deserted near the swimming pool. One of the girl guests approached the dummy in an investigating spirit, admired the costume and then, to see how soft the chaps were, ran her hand down Charlie's leg. Like a bolt from the blue came.

At least, she showed surprising (for her) courtesy to an interviewseeker the other day at the rehearsal studio. * * * A DOLPHE MENJOU wants to su^^ press a certain camera shot. He was entertaining the Hollywood Hotel troupe with a cigarette trick when he dropped the coffin-nail. In stooping over to retrieve it, the camera clicked. So Menjou shoots snipes, does he? * * * I^IAYBE it matters, but I doubt it. Anyhow, Pinky Tomlin christened both his auto and his ranch (both new)
