88 SCREENLAND RUDY VALLEE is no longer the Vagabond Lover. He has found the girl of his dreams in the person of Fay Webb, former movie actress and daughter of the Chief of Police of Santa Monica, California. If you've never seen Mrs. \ allee in pictures it isn't her fault, as she was under contract to Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer for some months. She is exotic and looks very much like Pola Negri. The Vallees were married July 15th in West Orange, New Jersey. June Collyer is another July bride. She married Stuart Erwin at Yuma, Arizona, on July 22nd. Mrs. Erwin will continue her screen career. Rudolf Sieber, Marlene Dietrich's husband, presented her with a 42 karat diamond ring ! Of course you know that Herr Sieber has come to Hollywood to join his wife and little daughter, "Heidede." Constance Bennett has gone to Europe for a vacation and it so happens that the Marquis de la Falaise is over there, too ! The new Alary Pickford Sunshine Club, formed for philanthrophic purposes, will be supported entirely by a tea room at which famous actresses and society girls will act as waitresses. One scource of income is that everyone who murmurs one unkind word must promptly contribute a nickel to a box for the purpose. One or two naughty girls have decided to invest a couple of dollars every day and get it off their chests. Playing bridge at Santa Barbara, Marie Dressier drew one of those incredible hands with 13 spades. But she did not risk bidding no trumps ! Her partner swooned. Mervyn LeRoy and Ginger Rogers have been seen lots of places together lately. Joan Crawford lunching with Dietrich and showing oft' the nice new stockings Doug bought her ! Walter Huston is sure of a sympathetic scenario writer. His son, John, will do the continuity for "Heart in Hand" for Universal. John is under contract to United Artists, but was loaned for Dad's picture. Jetta Goudal, who has finished "The Plutocrat" with Will Rogers, is to do three more pictures for Fox. But she is asking for time off for a trip to Europe with new hubby, Harold Grieves. Adolphe Menjou has two immense closets, one forty feet long, in which to preserve his sartorial glory — over 250 suits and top coats, socks, shirts, shoes by the hundred, etc. Awful to have a voguish reputation to maintain. Curious, too, that although Adolphe has played scores of fashionable-clubman roles, he has never belonged to a club in his life. When he's off duty, nothing Adolphe so enjoys as wearing old clothes and failing to shave. When Alfred Lunt, Theatre Guild star, arrived in Hollywood he started taking lessons in Russian from Lt. Col. Alex Davidoff, who served through the world war. It seems Lunt has to have Russian pronunciation for "The Guardsman." Marie Dressier was enchanted with her political speech when she previewed "Politics," in which she campaigns for mayor. "Well, I'd have got my vote," she grinned. Time was when fearful producers forbade contract stars to enter airplanes. Wally Beery once had to do it all on the sly. But now, Wally just hops in his sixpassenger plane when the company must go on location and is all settled comfortably in his hotel by the time the rest of the party arrives.
