Myrna Loy is raising a rumpus in the Front Office these days because she does not think it wise for her to co-star again with Bill Powell. Gene Raymond and Ann Sothern managed to break up their team by Gene leaving the studio. Stars just don't like to "team" these days; it hurts their personality, they say — but Jeanette and Kelson, who are supposed to have a "feud," are the only ones who go teaming merrily along without complaints. How do these Hollywood "feuds" originate? There are several possibilities. In Hollywood now there are thirty-eight people who broadcast Hollywood gossip one or more times a week. There just isn't that much gossip. These thirty-eight air chatterers have any number of stooges or operators or legmen working for them. There are also over three hundred and sixty bona fide writers and columnists who have pages, but endless pages, to fill every day, every week, every month. Everybody wants a scoop. The town has just gone mad with gossipers. They'll grab at anything. "Just give me a lead," they mourn in the publicity offices. "I'll make it into a story." A "little thing like accuracy, in this race for news, has simply collapsed and died by the wayside. So all that is necessary for a good first-class feud is the following: "Hello, what goes on with your little dream children today? Did the new MacDonald-Eddy picture start? She didn't smile when he came on the set? Thank you, my lad, we've got something there." It's on the air in another hour that Jeanette and Nelson aren't speaking. All the columnists pick it up and so do all the other air chatterers. In less than twenty-four hours it is all over the world that Jeanette MacDonald and Nelson Eddy are having a feud. As casual as that. Then, too, a feud is always good publicity for the two stars supposed to be indulging in it. And of course I wouldn't throw stones, not from the front porch of my glass house, but poor young men in publicity offices, realizing the publicity value in a good feud — it gets more space than the sweetness and light stuff — are not a bit averse to stirring one up occasionally to toss to the Press. And last but not least we have the fans themselves. Whenever there is a team they seem to feel called upon to "take sides" at once. If anyone says a kind word about one half of the team, immediately fans of the other half become wildly indignant. You can see from the excerpts from the letters given how violently partisan they have become. Jeanette and Nelson may like each other tremendously but the fans aren't going to have it that way. Their idol has been neglected. So it's a feud. There is something very earthy and American about a feud, and I say that if the fans want one, let them have it. But no distorting of facts, no false teeth and calf-faces, mind you. And remember, as Jeanette who loves her pun says, "Feud believe what you see — " V By this QUICK, SAFE EXTERNAL METHOD . . . or no cost!

SU-15, 853 Seventh Avenue, New York City Paris Continued from page 64 afternoon wore on I wondered why he seemed to enjoy chatting • with me. Later on, I found out, for shortly before I left he grabbed my hand and said "You are really wonderful for here we have spent the whole afternoon together and you haven't once mentioned Garbo's name, or asked a single question about her !" I told him. with a smile, that I was much too well brought up, cinematigrafically speaking, to do such a thing. Confidentially, I know a great deal about that young lady so don't have to pester friends with questions about her. Now, after such boasting, will continue on the amiable subject of Charles. He seems younger, happier and much less nervous than on his former visits. Why shouldn't he be? With a lovely young wife, success the world over and, at the time I saw him, back home in Paris among old friends. The work in the sordid bedroom continued. Then there was a sudden general movement as everyone prepared to leave the scene. It was four o'clock and tea-time, my dears. Yes, all work ceases and everyone goes to the studio restaurant for tea, toast and the far-famed French pastries. It makes such a pleasant break in the otherwise long stretch of steady work. As all the companies stop at the same time the artistes have a chance to visit with friends from other sets and companies. All too soon the bell rings and they must fly back to their respective jobs. Charles told me that he had been to the Exposition several times, which he found magnificent, in spite of the endless stairs one has to climb and, naturally, descend. At other times, he is busy seeing the plays and old friends. He is still a son of the theatre and loves everyone and everything connected with it. Then too, his mother and. relatives come up from Auvergne to see their Charles. I must admit that the sombre hall bedroom scene sort of bored me, so I skipped off to another set where the action was livelier. While on the continental flavor, another delightful star is in our midst. Tullio Carminati, just winding up his holidays in his native Italy, decided to linger in Paris before facing a cold, foggy winter of work in London. Carminati is a most interesting fellow. Equally at home in English, French and Italian, he radiates charm and wit — a real sense of humor. We were at several cocktail parties together and I heard Tullio chatting away with the guests in all these three languages. He has the same suave polish off that he has on the screen, only more so. Just next door to Tullio, at the George V was another American favorite, Ruth Chatterton was over in Paris to meet her mother, just arrived from America. That looks as though Ruth were planning to settle in Europe for a while. I say settle in more ways than one when speaking of this air-minded young lady who only seems happy when in full flight in a plane— her own or a chartered one. Other gals fuss about face lotions, massages and diets and never seem to look any better for their trouble. Ruth bothers about none of these — eats and drinks everything she likes and looks younger and lovelier than ever. Maybe she gets something from those high altitudes when flying that gives her that radiant smile and certain sparkle in her eyes. It wouldn't surprise me if Ruth burst into a French film, for of late she has been in close conference with several film heads. She speaks French beautifully so the language would present no difficulty. If she does, I will haunt the studio for Ruth is one of those grand persons one loves to be near. 88 SCREENLAND
