for August 19 3 3 71 You may not believe it, but the sweet, simple little girl at the left is none other than the dashing Katharine Hepburn, in "Morning Glory," her next picture, with Douglas Fairbanks, Jr. Geneva Mitchell is the other girl. PERHAPS movie fights between men are faked, but the battle between Jean Harlow and Dorothy Burgess for "Hold Your Man" was the real thing. Jean delivered a right to Dorothy's chin that landed with an unmistakable smack. Miss Burgess did not need to fake her foldup; she was actually knocked cold. And I wonder what all these young bachelors with their eyes upon the charming Harlow-widow think of that! JOBYNA RALSTON ARLEN'S addition to her family cast is a fine baby boy — eight and one-half pounds at birth. Soon after its arrival papa Richard wired Bing Crosby : "Joby did right by me ; it's a boy. Now it's up to Dixie to give the world a new crooner." GRETA GARBO caused a sensation when she visited the Paramount studio to pre-view Marlene Dietrich's new picture. Jf ALE Ernest Torrence! He made his exit, like the splendid trouper that he was, giving one of the best performances of his career in "I Cover the Waterfront." There's a strangely moving and prophetic episode early in the film when Ben Lyon says to Torrence : "I know how the story will end — I'll write your obituary." And he does — a tribute to a man whose inner goodness shone through an outer shell of harshness. Drama within drama ! One of the best-liked actors ever known to Hollywood, Torrence's passing will be a permanent loss to the life of the film colony. TUNE COLLYER declares that her hus«J band, Stuart Erwin, is like a big boy — and there is a reason for June's sentiments. Not long ago Mrs. Erwin bought Stuart a new camera, one of those candid cameras that sometimes take un-candied portraits. .Stu was so delighted that he used the first twenty rolls of film snapping pictures of his wife and baby. Now he is doing as the late Lon Chaney did — he is shooting Hollywood stars and he will compile a personal album that will never leave his possession. TpSTELLE TAYLOR'S $150,000 suit -L* against an insurance company for injuries received in an automobile wreck was won by her. She was awarded $20,000. At first glance that seems to be considerable money, but Estelle actually received very little of the sum. Her physicians were paid $11,000 and her attorneys received twenty-five percent plus $1,000, or $6,000. So, although she was the injured party and spent about eight months in bed with a broken neck, Miss Taylor's actual judgment amounted to only $3,000. (Continued on page 98) Meet Rhinestone Ruby.' Dorothy Granger plays her, with Tom Kennedy and Leslie Fenton as two of her willing slaves, in "She Outdone Him," a "Gay Nineties" comedy with that Mae-Western tang. Jackie Cooper takes a close-up with his mother and his new stepfather, Charles Bigelow, of Chicago. Mr. and Mrs. Bigelow were married recently in Yuma, Ariz., like regular film headliners.
