Helene Costello, demurely charming in bridal array, and her new husband, Lowell Sherman. Helene is one of Hollywood's youngest and most recent brides.
'EW York has certainly moved to Hollywood! Everybody from Broadway is here tonight."
Patsy, the Party Hound, and I had gone with Vernon Rickard, the handsome young stage actor and radio singer, over to Joseph Cawthorn's beautiful new home in Beverly Hills, where his wife, who used to be Queenie Vassar of the musical comedy stage, you know, was giving Joe a party celebrating his birthday — and, also, his fifty-seventh year on the stage.
Joe Cawthorn greeted us, and then we saw that poor Queenie had met with an accident. She was sitting close to the door to say hello to everybody, but her foot was bound up. At the last moment, just before the first guest arrived, Queenie slipped on the polished floor and sprained her ankle. But she looked lovely, nevertheless, and was the best sport we had ever seen, since she stuck to her hostess post until we missed her suddenly, and found she had had to go upstairs, call the doctor and have the foot dressed, after which she returned gamely to her party.
John Barrymore was one of the first guests we caught sight of. He was a little withdrawn from the crowd, and seemed a bit nervous, as became, we decided, a man who was soon to become a dad. Dolores Costello, his wife, had hoped until the last moment, to come to the party, but finally was dissuaded by her husband from doing so. (Since this was written John has become the proud papa of a baby girl.)
Joe and Queenie have known all the Barrymores since the latter were little children, and Dolores comes over to the Cawthorns' almost every day.
Will Kernell, Mrs. Cawthorn's son, and Mrs. Kernell, who is a concert pianist, were helping in receiving, and at that, Joe didn't need much help. He was the liveliest host I've ever seen.
