Romance in the news! Here, above, we have Kay Francis and Delmar Daves, scenarist. Hollywood says it's serious. Right above, Abe Lyman, band man, and new star Eleanor Powell, who've announced their engagement. Left, Nino Martini and Anita Louise, seen together in New York. Is it a romance?
REMEMBER that old rib about "keep poison Oakie out of Toluca Lake"? It was started as a gag, then the fans took it up and it built into an episode of some importance. Bing Crosby was the ring-leader. Well, the other day when Jack replaced Bing as a crooner in "Money From Home," Jack evened things up by plastering all the old gag-clippings all over Bing's dressing-room. Also, the royalty checks Jack has received from his "College Rhythm" recordings have Bing wondering. It's a real live feud, now. Funny how innocent gags can build up !
YOU can look forward to seeing again on the screen the lovely Dolores Costello, now that her marriage to John Barrymore has been dissolved in the courts.
SHIRLEY TEMPLE has been studying French for six months, so she tried out her new language when she was introduced to the new star at Fox, Simone Simon. Finally Shirley had to give it up, but not until she remarked, "Miss Simone, I guess we don't speak the same kind of French, do we?"
WELL, well ! That sterling couple, Cary Grant and Randy Scott are back together and keeping house again ! (No aspersions' intended, boys, we all know you.) Neither seems to have any too much luck with his love affairs, what with Betty Furness straying off with Cesar Romero and Vivian Gaye marrying Ernst Lubitsch. Looks as if Cary and Randy have just given up the steady-beau business and decided to play the field. Anyway, they are nicely ensconced in Connie Talmadge's (Mrs. Townsend Netcher) house in Santa Monica — just as everyone else is moving in from the beach. So now they have it all practically to themselves. Oh, yes : Connie has gone to Chicago, where her husband has big department store interests.
AL JOLSON'S friends are about to orXX ganize the Here He Comes Club, in self-defense. For Al, believe it or not, has turned into such a proud papa that he collars his pals and goes on for hours about snookums' new tooth, and what he said this morning that sounded like a word. He illustrates with snapshots and even moving pictures. (Lantern slides tomorrow night.) From Playboy to Papa is always an interesting transformation.
Norma Shearer and her producer husband, Irving Thalberg, return to the coast after a New York visit, prior to starting Norma's new picture, "Romeo and Juliet."
