Gilbert Roland made himself fascinating to everybody as usual, without half trying. Everybody wonders why he doesn't fall in love, and hints that he is — with a very important star. Inside the house the Kisco Brothers, who have been with the Duncans for simply ages, in all their shows, were playing for the dance, and a few were dancing, including Lena Molina, under contract to Cecil B. De Mille, whom we haven't seen much of on the screen, but who I believe will make her mark when she gets a chance, she is so distinctive. She is a German actress, but looks quite French, and has a quick and amusing wit at her command, together with a funny little dialect which is most fasci' nating. Nobody went to bed until ever so much o'clock, and even then Johnny Hines and Don Alvarado serenaded us from the beach, while some of the girls were suddenly inspired to hop out of bed and play charades. The house did not prove large enough for the crowd that was to remain all night, and Johhny Hines gallantly insisted on wrapping himself in a blanket and sleeping on the sandy beach. He wasn't even peevish next morning, either, but even helped the cook prepare the coffee. Then he set off a fussilade of firecrackers, which awakened everybody. Everyone made a rush for the toast and eggs next morning, the sea air making them hungry, and then everybody got into bathing suits and hopped into the sea. Don Alvarado's pretty wife was there, but didn't go in swimming, so Don taught Claire Windsor to swim in the ocean, beyond the breakers. "I'm just sure," confided Patsy, "that Claire learns to swim regularly every sum' mer!" It being the Fourth, everybody was setting off fire crackers right and left. But the long festivities of the day before told on us all, and pretty soon groups of bathers began to come out of the water and slump down on the beach, quite pepless. Nothing seemed to daunt our hostesses, the Duncan sisters, however, even though they did have to celebrate the Fourth by giving two performances in Los Angeles. Of course Nils Asther, who is engaged to Vivian, and William Berri, who is engaged to Rosetta, were there, all attention to their fiances when their fiances were around. Nils was shortly to go to Europe with a picture company, and so he and Vivian naturally spend all the time they can together. When the sisters returned from Los Angeles in the evening, we began setting the fire-works off. Nils and Vivian were in one of the swings on the pier, and Claire Windsor interrupted their loverish dreams with a bunch of fire-crackers set off beneath them! Rosetta insisted on setting off all the biggest fire works pieces herself, and they made a great display. Rita Carew, still full of pep, and Lloyd Pantakes, wanted to run off to Venice to ride on the roller-coaster, but there was a singular lack of enthusiasm on the part of the rest of us, and by twelve o'clock not a guest of the big party remained. Oh, I forgot. Gloria Swanson, who was invited to half a dozen beach parties, showed up for a few moments, but had so many parties to visit that she could only remain a little while. "I'll just bet if George Washington could have forseen that he was making this country safe for Hollywood people, that he would have been even gladder than he was for what he did!" exclaimed Patsy, as we drove along the beach road homeward — a road still illumined by the rockets. Patsy and I haven't much time to remi' nisce, but there were some awfully amusing things happened at the wedding and reception of Rod LaRoque and Vilma Banky — just as they always do at any specially important occasion, I suppose. "I'll just bet," said Patsy, "that when King Arthur's Knights of the Round Table came home from the big tournaments, the principal thing they thought of was getting their armor off so as to scratch the ant bites on themselves!" So it really isn't surprising that a lot of funny little things happened at the wedding, even if it was awfully impressive. For instance, Vera and Ralph Lewis sat right in front of us in church, and Vera turned around and said, "Why is it a person always feels hotter in church than anywhere else?" Whereupon, Vernon Rickard, who is going to do Vitaphone stuff for Warners, because he not only has a gorgeous voice but also is an actor — where was I? Oh, yes, Vernon answered: "Oh, it's one's conscience, of course!" Everything was really beautifully arranged, and Vilma looked to lovely for anything in her long veil. "But that veil!" exclaimed Patsy, rem' iniscently, as we drank tea at the Biltmore a few days ago. "I hear it worried Samuel Goldwyn dreadfully. You see, by some oversight one little detail was omitted. That detail was the placing of a carpet for Vilma to walk on from her carriage to the door. Mr. Goldwyn caught sight of that veil on the point of being dragged, so he just grabbed it and rolled it up!" "And Bebe Daniels tells me," related Patsy, "that she forgot and left her bridesmaid's bouquet on a table in one of the vestry rooms, so that when the procession was ready to start, she had to stumble right over the bride and everybody to get it." Everybody was at the wedding, of course — the Barrymores, Eddie Lowe, Lilyan Tashman, Greta Nissen, Charlie Farrell. Janet Gaynor, Harold Lloyd, Lila Lee, Douglas MacLean, Raymond Hitchcock, Anna Q. Nilsson, James Hall, Ronald Colman, and just scores of others. Everybody got a chance to say hello to the bride and groom over at the Beverly Hills Hotel, where the reception was held. "I saw simply hundreds of orchids piled up in one place," said Patsy, "but I didn't see anybody get any, though I think one or two of the girls asked for them." "Oh, Mr. Goldwyn brought me one," I said. We met Mildred Davis, who had been a matron of honor, and she said that her dress was so wide that Harold Lloyd couldn't sit inside their town-car with her, when they drove over from the church, but had to sit outside with the chauffeur. We met Mrs. Douglas MacLean, who said that Douglas had kissed all the bridesmaids and matrons of honor, so she was trying to find the best man to kiss him!
