Screenland (May-Oct 1931)

for August 19 3 1 129 cottage. They stop for swims in between. Ray Long and Peter B. Kyne tell a sweet little story about Mack Sennett's mother — down at Aqua Caliente and a bit lonesome, while Mack was dancing. So she went over to the writers' table and said, "You are the most interesting looking people in the room — may I sit down and join your party?" They found her a most delightful lady and kept her talking all the rest of the evening. It's jolly to be sixty — no "nice" young beauty could have got away with that. Lillian Roth meant to elope with William C. Scott of Pittsburgh by airplane in the good old romantic manner, but it went and rained, so they took the unromantic old train instead. They had a home wedding and a pastor and everything in Atlanta. Ga. Chanel, the Paris dressmaker who refused to become the Duchess of Westminster, with the remark that "There have been several Duchesses of Westminster but only one Chanel," has a rival in Hollywood these days — Countess Valentine de Tukino, here for Paramount. The latter has proved that a title really isn't a serious handicap in business. Dick Arlen gets a new contract with a nice advance in salary. Dick and his Jobyna have a delightful home at Toluca Lake, across the road from Charlie Farrell, and did most of the work themselves. Caught them one day laying bricks in the patio and cementing them down. One corner was very crooked, but they became experts as they went along and the last half is quite professional. "Cimarron" certainly did sumptuous things for Edna May Oliver. Now RKO intends starring her in a story by young Anthony Veiller, son of Bayard, right after she finishes with Marie Dressier in "The Queen of Hollywood." Oh, these are great days for the older girls — the baby-blue-eyed cuties of the silent days have an awful job to hold their own. No wonder the Wampas, made up of all the Hollywood press-agents, no longer select 13 babystars each year as of old. Mr. and Mrs. George Armsby, of the New York banking world, had a marvelous time in Hollywood, as introduced to the inner circle by Gloria Swanson. Later they, in turn, were the hosts, with Gloria okaying the list of guests. We may therefore gauge that Gloria likes Mr. E. L. Doheny, Jr., (oil) ; the Bobby Joneses (golf) ; Gene Markey (most recently approved Swanson escort) ; the Walter Moroscos (Corrinne Griffith) ; ® Eileen Percy and Aileen Pringle, (film actresses), and the brother of her late Marquis, Count de la Falaise and his lovely countess. Lawrence Tibbett doesn't get vacations — stage all winter, pictures all summer. Lucky Larry, though — the studio has given him several plays to choose from— one of the few stars who really can select his own roles. There was a whole week during which Constance Bennett went out with other escorts than the Marquis de la Falaise de la Coudray and all Hollywood made a note. Of course, it may have been because the Marquis was entertaining his brother and sister-in-law — but we couldn't understand why Constance did not get in on that, too. Anyway, Joel MacCrea looked happy. Little Bessie Love was as thrilled as a girl going to her first party, when she appeared in her very first stage play, "Whispering Friends," and delighted to discover that club and society women formed enthusiastic matinee audiences, going round behind after to present her with bouquets and compliments. It also put an end to the rumor that Bessie was retiring in expectation of an interesting family event. "I know how that rumor started," she says. "I got a dreadfully sore throat and had to have a nurse on the set to help me out at the studio. And a nurse can only mean one thing out there, when one has been married about a year. But I fooled them that time !" Dorothy Lee, the hilarious little hoyden of the screen, is so fleet-footed that she can challenge almost anyone to a race and lick them — outside of Charlie Paddock. She can also vault with poles, climb trees, do high jumps of a very modern young collegiate. She goes bare-legged off the set, sporting those socks, even in what California calls cold weather. Charlie Farrell and his bride, Virginia Valli, returned from their European honeymoon in high spirits, on the same boat as their Highnesses of Japan. Doug Fairbanks, Jr., will publish a book of poems shortly. If Joan can continue happy with both a poet and an actor, it will almost form a record in matrimonial success. Joan assures us that Doug's poems are not at all "mushy!" Every so often we are reminded that there is a morality clause in motion picture contracts. During the hearing of Cliff Edwards' divorce suit, it transpired that Edwards had signed a property settlement with his wife "On condition she did nothing to affect the morality clause" in his, Edwards' picture contract !
