Not a bit of it — Lilyan has just donned a wig to enhance her portrayal of a mother in "The Road to Reno." fancy gadgets. It is now fourteen feet long, quite the largest on any lot. Even Connie Bennett's at First National only measures about 6 feet and is positively primitive by comparison. The Wampas, being the press agents' association, have decided to revive their annual selection of 13 Baby Stars, once such a popular event before the talkies. They used to prove good pickers, for at least half a dozen of the thirteen they would select, really did become stars later on. Recently these Wampas held what they called a Roast at $10 per, which proved a painful flop. They have now discovered they need some more baby stars to restore their prestige. pair who helped make the New York Theatre Guild a success, and regarded as the super-highbrows of the profession. Their first picture will be "The Guardsman" under the M-G-M banner. They should, of course, feel superior, and sniffy about pictures, but instead they are like a couple of kids having a spree. They adore the grand homes, the swimming pools, the gorgeous beaches and the jolly home in Beverly prepared for them. Oh. yes. and movie salaries. They are a distinguishedlooking couple, but Lynn has none of the piquant prettiness we have been trained to regard as essential to pictures. She's class, but not beauty. Lunt is a big fellow, much heavier than our usual movie heroes. Kay Francis, who has been called the "best dressed girl in Hollywood," gave us some pointers on the subject. She says that "any time attention is attracted to a girl's clothes, she is over-dressed, not welldressed." Kay says, "it is the woman whose clothes are not noticed who is well dressed, since then they have obviously merged into her personality." Ernest Schoedsack and his wife, he of "Rango" and "Chang" fame, have just left for India where they will film "The Lives of a Bengal Lancer," one of the books of the year. Schoedsack was so impatient to get away that he went to the boat at San Francisco ahead of time and paced up and down the dock. He's always dreadfully touchy while back amongst us in what we are pleased to call "civilization." When the Hawaiian princesses were in Hollywood, John Gilbert made himself most agreeable to them, and to one in particular. That was evidently . one time when hospitality did not prove irksome. Can you imagine the calamity had Clive Brook not recovered his voice after he was shell-shocked in the war? An American who was a private on leave in London tells how he was standing in front of a theatre wondering if he could afford to go in, when a British officer tapped him on the shoulder and wrote on a pad that he had lost his voice but would the private like to see the show. He bought him two of the best seats in the house. "And that officer was Clive Brook," he tells. "I've never seen him since, but attend every picture he's in, with a thanksgiving that he recovered his voice." Buddy Rogers feeling sentimentally domesticated when he met brother Bruce and his new bride, Maragen Stevick. Texas heiress, at the train when they arrived in Los Angeles after the wedding. We rather gathered Buddy likes weddings — by proxy. Quite a little flutter about the arrival of Lvnn Fontaine and Alfred Lunt, the famous Never can make up our minds about these stars who, after a success with a studio that gave them a second chance to come-back, fight about money. For instance, Richard Dix. we hear, received $50,000 a picture for four pictures a year on his former contract with RKO, the same to be advanced to 12J^% of the gross up to $600,000. The new offer of $50,000 a picture for five pictures a year and 125/2% of the net profits, doesn't sound enough to fight about, when one considers Dix had been dropped by Paramount and was able to make a new career through RKO and "Cimarron." However, the latest news is that the quarrel may be patched up.
