T "^he Costello girls — all three of them Came back to Broadway, to be wel' corned with three cheers, a picture premier, a gala luncheon, photog' raphers, and — a monkey. Dolores, Helene, and Mrs. Costello, who looks more like an older sister than a mother, left New York just about two years ago to seek their fortunes in Hollywood. You know what happened in those two years if you have been seeing any Warner Brothers pictures at all. And if N. Y. didn't exactly send out brass bands to welcome them home, it was probably only because Colonel Lindy happened to be in town at the same time. Dolores is a star now, and Helene a promising featurette; and Mrs. Costello is mighty proud of them; but not too proud to make Dolores eat a substantial breakfast of liver and bacon when all Dolores wants is strawberry jam and toast. As for the monkey — someone presented him to the stars when they arrived, and he ruled their temporary household at the Ambassador, as only monkeys can do. The Costello com' pany is made up of good troupers. There's nothing dolorous and dreary about the real Dolores. She only sighs and cries for the camera. Actually, she's younger, blonder, smaller and snappier than you'd ever dream from her pictures. Her eyes are a beautiful blue. She wears smart, short skirts in place of the trailing things her characters call for. (She does prefer costume stuff for pictures, though.) Her mother says Dolores has had that wist' ful, sad look ever since she was a baby — but it doesn't mean anything! It means a lot on the lot, Mrs. Costello. Dolores has perfect poise, and she's never really sad; she just looks that way. Yes — she does resemble Elsie Ferguson. Helene looks more like her dad — the famous Maurice Costello, who was the first matinee idol of the movies. Which means she is a very handsome girl. She's the younger sister, but is so self-possessed she seems older. Black hair — and dark blue eyes — tiny feet for which she loves buying shoes; new shoes are Helene's hobby. And she almost always dresses in black. Black frock, black hat; and one day at luncheon a beautiful black cross and chain was her only ornament. And in case you have heard the rumors of her engagement to Douglas Fairbanks, Junior — Helene says they're good friends, with no engagement nonsense about it. And that's that. Warner Brothers gave Dolores a luncheon at the Park Lane. It was a nice luncheon, and the guest of honor made it even nicer by the spirit of the little speech she made. It consisted of about three words: "I thank you". That's our idea of the kind of a speech movie stars should make. It is also Dolores". She says she always feels sorry for a movie audience when confronted by a long-winded screen star making a personal appearance. Stars, she thinks, should be seen, and not heard. The Costello sisters used to do a sister act — -singing and dancing — -in George White's Scandals. Some day Dolores wants to go back to the stage — not in musical comedy, but in drama, if she can "find a beautiful play". Anna May Wong gave New York its first chance to see her in person. The lovely little Oriental actress is a quaint picture, with her deep brown almondshaped eyes, her golden-brown skin, and her striking costumes, which she designs herself. Even her street clothes have an Oriental motif, with gorgeous Chinese brocade fashioned with Parisian chic. Anna May attracted attention wherever she went. She's a smart, sensible young lady, with only a trace of accent in her slow, measured speech. She was deluged with offers to go on the speaking stage under the direction of one of America's most prominent producers; to make a picture in Germany; to stay right in New York and be featured — and to come back to Hollywood. Right now she is having the time of her life seeing New York. Marion Davies was in New York for a spell — quite a lengthy vacation as vacations go with these busy film folks. But Marion is a daughter of Manhattan and never stays away any longer than she can help. Not that she loves Hollywood less, but New York more, maybe. Now we've started something!
