SCREENLAND "You sec I was told that it was all very wild western, that I should have to ride a horse to the post-office because there were no motor-cars nor roads," she laughed. Jack Warner was there with his pretty wife, and so was Harry Warner, who has come out from the east for a little while; and there was that amusing Bryan toy who is always kidding about, but who, all the same, is a genius for organization, and is leaving for New York to manage the Vitaphone studio back there. Eddie Foy, Jr., came, bringing Bessie Love. Eddie is getting to be quite a S1Guinn Williams, who plays George O'Brien's pal in "Noah's Ark," came in, bestowing that wide, engaging smile on everybody quite impartially; and there was Irene Rich, with her handsome millionaire husband, David Blankenhorn; and Edward Earle Joseph Jackson and his wife, Ethel Shannon; Robert Vignola, Mike Levee, Bayard Veiller, James Flood and his wife; Carl Laemmle, Jr., Chuck Reisner Eddie Brandstatter Mr. and Mrs. Al Rockett, Mr and Mrs. Hunt Stromberg, Mr. and Mrs. Larry Weingarten, Ethlyn Claire. Michael Curtis stood near the door, helping Miss Meredyth to receive, during the early part of the party, and then both busied themselves in taking care of their guests at the buffet supper. Louise Fazenda came with her husband, Hal Wallis, and Maria Korda was with her director-husband, Alexander Corda Ot course Miss Korda, Mrs. Varconi and Mrs. Paul Leni made a little group delighted to chat together in German. As nobody had arrived at the party until one o'clock in the morning, of course it was nearly daylight when we left; and yet even as we departed the orchestra was striking up another dance tune, and we saw Lily Damita captured and carried ott for a fox-trot with Michael Curtiz.

Naturally you would expect Mitchell Lyson, Cecil B. DeMille's art director to have an artistic home. And he has It is in one of those beautiful Hollywood studio apartment houses, a Spanish house, and appropriately furnished with just the right luxurious rugs and pictures, chairs and sofas. And there is a great open fireplace, which glows and shines its hospitality to all Mitch's guests. Patsy and I went over to Mitch s house with Max Constant, the other night, when our host invited us to his party "Oh, who is that pretty girl that Mitch is dancing the tango with?" inquired Patsy, after Carol Lombard, who was aiding our host in receiving in the absence of his wite, Stella Seager, who is playing an engagement on the stage in San Francisco, had taken us upstairs to leave our wraps. 11 just bet/' Patsy went on, that that girl can't speak a word of English! However, it turned out that the pretty girl does speak English— that she is very American indeed, since she has Cherokee Indian blood in her veins. She is Margaret Daily, formerly premiere danseuse with the Chicago Grand Opera Company, but now in the west for pictures. _ Lily Damita came late, with we don t know whom. You never do know who Lily's escort is, she is so soon surrounded by admirers. ,. . Max Constant told us a cute little story about her. , , T , "We were all at the Catahna Island Isthmus working on a picture not long ago, he said "We came in late from location, and found the commissary closed—we were all living in tents— and the cooks gone. There was a hungry crowd, including grips and electricians, hollering for their dinner "Lily, without any fuss or noise, slipped into the kitchen and in a trice had cooked us a first-class dinner, which we were glad enough to serve for ourselves." Barry Norton came in just then with a fascinating young South American named Alberto Sanchez, whose torrid tangoing was fascinatingly wicked. We asked Barry what he thought it was that made Lily so fascinating, and he said, "Novelty. American girls are fine, just the thing for a steady diet, but here'is a new and intriguing sort of gal." c We observed by that time that Mr. Sanchez had, with South American Spanish precipitancy, already fallen headlong in love with Margaret Daily, and we were sure he would have proposed to her then and there if she had let him. At any rate she let him tango with her, and the dancing part of the party turned into a tango contest from then on. Barry Norton danced beautifully with Carol Lombard, while Mitchell Lyson danced with Sally Blane, and Paul Ivano with Lia Torra. , , Paul told us afterward that he had photographed dozens of South American beauties when he was down there, but that he had found only Lia who really fitted into our idea of a motion picture star. Phillips Holmes, son of Taylor Holmes, who is rapidly making himself a name in pictures, was there, and that cute little Betty Collins. A number of guests came in rather late, including Carlotta King, who is singing the lead in "The Desert Song," and who has an exquisite voice. She sang some ot the music of that piece for us. Her husband, Sidney Russell King, was with her. David Mir came late, too, and then a perfect rush of guests, including Alice White, who came alone, saying she had hoped to be able to chisel a beau!" Mir sang in a most pleasing voice, and then he settled down for a chat with us, telling us about the beautiful new Russian Cafe he is to open soon. He is interested in the Russian Art Club Cafe now — a place where any Russian of high or low degree, will be fed and housed if only he will give a bit of service. Many a Russian duke, I understand, has aided a Russian peasant to wash dishes in the kitchen there! . . , "And please don't ever give me my title of Prince!" begged Mir. "You know it doesn't mean a thing in Hollywood. Sally Blane told us that her sister, Polly Ann Young, had had an operation on her lips, which is to improve her mouth so that she will look all right in pictures. Julanne Johnston came with Michael Cudahy very late, saying laughingly that they "hadn't been invited but had crashed the ^cite! Well, that charming couple know they are welcome anywhere. Carol Lombard told us how she had been yachting with a party on Mitchell Lyson s vacht. and how she had practiced the surfboard, and that she enjoyed surf-boarding very much once she had learned not to tall into the water. John Maschio, Cecil B. DeMille's charming assistant director, had cooked the spaghetti and ravioli supper himself, and it he makes as good a director as he does a cook, he may put Von Stroheim in the shade! "Will you a-yachting go sometime with me7" inquired our host as we left, and ot course we easily chorused 'Yes' without any
