THE Beverly Hills court will be packed to the rafters when William Anthony McGuire is called to defend his Schnauzer for disturbing the peace. Every one in the province has a dog or dogs — (Harold Lloyd has nine Great Danes) — and is curious to know how the case will be decided. If the complainant wins, any number of other cases may be entered. Other Schnauzer owners are the Warner Olands and Woody Van Dyke, and the Scotties around Beverly make up a population all their own. THEY laughed when Gene Raymond sat down to the typewriter — and Gene had the laugh on them. He rattled off a page in practically ho time and using all his fingers, too. (Better than most of us can do.) Seems Gene's hobby is fooling with stories and plays at home. Screen drama — finished and in the making! Above, Sylvia Sidney and Melvyn Douglas in a close-up. Right, Robert Taylor carries Irene Dunne from the scene of accident as John Stahl, seated left, directs a new film, "The Magnificent Obsession." The animal kingdom does its bit for the screen. Above, for laughs, Walt Disney's "Three Orphan Kittens." Right, Buck, hero of "Call of the Wild," proudly stands guard over the lovely Rochelle Hudson. DOLORES DEL RIO is initiating something entirely new in screen individuality and prestige. You'll remember in her role in "In Caliente" she wore nothing but white, from bathing suits to negligees. Again in "Meet the Duchess" she carried out the one color scheme idea — this time, black. There are shimmering black satins, cellophanes, velvets' and taffeta for evening. Duvetyn, crepe and woolens for the street, a black jersey bathing suit and chiffon and georgette negligees. And now you see, husbands, why your wives go pleasantly mad over a Del Rio picture. SCREENLAND ELEANOR POWELL writes to an intimate friend at M-G-M : "Please do not take my reputed engagement seriously. I wouldn't let anything interfere now with my future plans. I am too young and have a lot to do on the screen and stage before marriage." She adds that Abe Lyman is a nice boy — but no wedding bells. Once before, Lyman was engaged to a picture star, Thelma Todd. That fell through too ! SALLY LOVE BICKEL, sister-in-law of Fredric March, is giving a songstory recital soon at March's residence in Holmby Hills. Mrs. Bickel lives in Chicago and has given several recitals there.
