Pioneer Press, Dept. 1 44, Hollywood, Calif. be happy in her next marriage," remarked Patsy. "She ought to. She is just the sweetest, kindest-hearted girl I have ever known. She docs more little charitable acts that nobody ever hears about. And now she will have time to do a lot more, since she is marrying this millionaire boy, and won't work any more." However, it is just possible that Patsy is wrong about that — I mean about Anita's not working any more. She is studying voice culture most assiduously, and I shouldn't be surprised if she accepted a musical comedy engagement. At any rate Patsy and I are invited up to her home to hear her sing very soon. We saw Lily Damita and Robert Castie with their heads close together, as they sat on a divan near the fire. Both played in the same pictures in Germany, and had a lot to talk about. Castle having only lately arrived. Phyllis Haver presently went over to the corner and began playing the piano; and the crowd stopped talking to listen. I had not known that Phyllis played so well. Joseph Schenck was there, and Robert Vignola, Mr. and Mrs. Billie Sunday, Jr. — Billie doesn't dance, but his wife does — Mr. and Mrs. George Fitzmaurice, W. R. Hearst, and scores of others. Joseph Schenck presently carried Lily Damita off to dance with him,, and Robert Castle consoled himself by seeking out Bebe as a partner; while others who danced together were Harry D'Arrast and Marion Davies, Roland Drew and Estelle Taylor, Carmelita Geraghty and Bernie Fineman. Dr. Harry Martin was called on to act as master of ceremonies, and suggested some dancing contests. The dancers all changed partners then, except Charlie Chaplin and Miss Cherrill, and the prize was finally awarded to Joseph Schenck and Marion Davies. Then it was announced that dancing contests would be held with the men guests dancing together, and the girls dancing together. That turned out to be most amusing! Charlie Chaplin danced with Joseph Schenck, Roland Drew with Jack Dempsey, Harry D'Arrast with Marshall Neilan, Billie Dove with Phyllis Haver, Bebe with Mrs. Billie Sunday, Lila Lee with Carmelita Geraghty, and there were other couples I don't remember. At any rate, Chaplin and Schenck won the first prize for the men, while Billie Dove ond Phyllis Haver won the girls' prize. They were like a bunch of kids, those picture stars, and the whole spirit of the party was one of rollicking fun. We all danced the old-fashioned square dances after that, and then Charlie Chaplin did a skating dance that was a riot. Maybe the most amusing bit of entertainment was a film feature, made up of odds and ends of old starring vehicles of Bebe Daniels, Pola Negri, Clara Bow and others, strung together with their subtitles. Then Bebe announced it was a talking picture, and sat down close by to announce funny sub-titles which she made up on the spur of the moment. After that there were a couple of very funny skits, done in impromptu fashion. One had big Roy Brooks, Bebe Daniels, Marion Davies, Lila Lee, Carmelita Geraghty and others in a sort of charade, but with lines suggested by Harry Crocker and Charlie Chaplin. Following that, there was more dancing, then supper, then more dancing, and then, tired and happy as kids after their first party, we went home. "Oh, if that's Spanish hospitality," re marked John Davidson, "I'm going to start for Spain tomorrow!" "BEDS," remarked Patsy, "so far as we are concerned tonight, might just as well never have been invented. We are going you know, with John Davidson, to Reginald Denny's wedding reception at the Holly wood Athletic Club, and then over to Dolores Del Rio's party." "Well, Fm in the hands of my friends," I announced cheerfully. "Oh, Bubbles looks just as a bride ought to look," cried Patsy, as we caught sight of Mrs. Denny, arrayed in her wide, filmy skirts and white bodice, with the veil and lovely lace, the orange blossoms and the huge bouquet of gardenias in her hands. "From the time of Godey's Ladies' Book down to Vanity Fair, she typifies everything bridey Fve ever seen." Bubbles justified everything that Patsy said about her. She is a most genuinely lovable, sweet and pretty girl. "And Fm not," she told us, when we asked her, after greetings were over, "going to work any more in pictures. I'm just going to take care of my husband's home. That's work enough for any woman." Reggy proved a delightful host, able somehow to expand that lovable crooked smile of his to include everybody. He was evidently just as proud of his bride as a bridgroom should be. "She didn't say 'obey,' though." grinned the bridegroom, looking fondly down at Bubbles. "However, you would have, if it had been in the ceremony, wouldn't you?" "Of course I would!" retorted Bubbles. "And just because it wasn't, I will!" We met George Lewis and his wife then, and tinkled glasses with them over wishes for the couple's happiness. George told us that he was 'second best man and flower girl!' "Ben Hendricks was best man, and I handed the bride her bouquet before she began her march to the altar, so I must have been the flower girl, mustn't I?" George demanded gaily. Otis Harlan came over then, and told us that he had 'kissed the bride— yes, sir, with my bare face!" The bride and groom, we learned, had just two days off from work for their honeymoon! They were to spend the time up in Reginald's mountain cabin m the San Bernardino mountains. Lovely Olive Hausbrouck was there, and she said that, being the only single woman present with the exception of Patsy and myself, we three should have to fight for the bouquet when it was thrown. Laura La Plante came with William Seiter, and declared she felt like an old hasbeen, having been married two whole years. We caught sight of Fred and Fanny Hatton, Eddie Cline, Carl Laemmle, Jr., and a score of others. "I don't have to gaze into a crystal to make up my mind that those two are going to be happy together," remarked John, as we sped away to Dolores' party. Dolores' party was being given for her by Mr. and Mrs. Gunther Lessing, friends of Miss Del Rio, at their beautiful Spanish home, perched on the side of a Hollywood hill. It was the first party given Dolores since Jaimie Del Rio's death, over which Dolores had grieved too much for the good of her health, her friends think. Dolores would accept' no invitations, but this party was to be a quiet affair, with only a few of her
