N other economy wave hits Hollywood. Four couples married over the holidays, making it possible to combine anniversary and Christmas presents in the future. The four are: Blanche Mehaffey and George Joseph Hausen. Raymond Griffith and Bertha Mann. Patty Dupont and Sylvanus Stokes. Iris Stuart and Bert A. Mackinon. In addition, Grace Darmond announced that she will wed R. P. Jennings, wealthy theater owner and oil operator of Mexico City and Beverly Hills, about February 1. Hollywood enjoys being surprised. The announcement of the engagement of Blanche Mehaffey afforded it this pleasurable sensation. For almost no one in the film colony knew her fiance. He is George J. Hausen, millionaire oil man and big game hunter. Adding a flash of daring to their romance the couple took an airplane to San Francisco after their wedding. They sailed for Cuba the next day. Blanche Mehaffey is one of the real Follies graduates in Hollywood. She was a Wampas Baby Star in 1924, and is well known on the screen. While everyone knew that Raymond Griffith and Bertha Mann were engaged, their marriage came as a surprise. This couple hold a record for long engagements. They were betrothed nine years ago when the bride was the leading woman in the old Morosco Stock Company here — the same company in which Lewis Stone, Richard Dix, Edmund Lowe and dozens of other film celebrities got their start. At that time Griffith was making two-reel comedies at the Mack Sennett Studio. A cruise in the South Seas for a honeymoon. What could be more ideal than that?
