Rosita Moreno, one of the lovely Zuloaga ladies who help make Hollywood such an exciting place.
Jfollj wood Goes Spanish!
T' !
the Rio
W O great pantomimists are going to meet tonight !" exclaimed Patsy, "Charlie Chaplin and Argentina, Spanish dancer ! Dolores Del Jose Crespo, Mr. and Mrs. Rafael Rivelles and some of the other Spanish players are giving a party."
And for once in Hollywood a Spaniard actually lives in a Spanish house ! The home of the Rivelles is a beautiful Spanish town house on the side of a hill, and the view of the city lights was like jewel-studded black velvet.
Charlie hadn't arrived yet when we came, but we found Mine. Argentina there, and she proved to be one of those rare and radiant people, all life and spirit. We heard that she was a grandmother, but as the Spanish people achieve motherhood early, it is possible to believe it, even though she is probably much younger looking than she really is.
"I never saw so many pretty girls!" gasped Patsy, "even in Hollywood."
Anita Page was there, and Lupita Tovar, Maria Alba, Conchita Montenegro, Rosita Moreno, Maria Tubau, and others, besides Dolores Del Rio, and any one of them might have taken a beauty prize anywhere. All of them, as well as Mrs. Rivelles, are playing in Spanish pictures, and some of them in English ones, too.
Conchita Montenegro, a pretty little importation, appears in both Spanish and American films.
Dolores Del Rio, recovered from her long illness, is now being seen socially and screenically .
Come along to this picture party! See Chaplin dance a tango — meet Del Rio and the other Spanish beauties.

Ramon Novarro and Antonio Moreno were to have been present, but both had to work, so sent graceful little telegrams of regret.
Anita Page was quite a belle, and was the only blonde present. She has Spanish blood in her veins, you know, her real name being Pomares. and her father being Spanish.
Charlie Chaplin arrived finally, with apologies for being late. He had been working at the studio, putting the final touches and some new music to "City Lights," and he came in his business clothes, not having time to go home and change.
Of course he and Argentina held animated discourse, partly through interpreters, but she had to leave early, as she never permits herself late hours, due to the strenuousness of her work. She danced only once, with Jose Crespo, who is an old friend of hers.
Charlie told us he would write his next story in Europe, and we were told by some of the Spanish people that it is quite likely the story will have a Spanish background. After Argentina had gone, Charlie danced the tango with Lupita Tovar, and danced it beautifully.
"Only," as Patsy remarked, "he did dance it rather as an Englishman would dance the tango !"
For the most part Charlie {Continued on page 115)
