"What a machine, a clever machine, it all is, my dear," said she with a sigh and wide-open eyes. Efficiency, plus, was her opinion. She was very cagey about going into details and I am wondering if all was really well with the director and associates. Douglas Fairbanks, Jr., was a charming co-star and that was all we could get out of her. Perhaps she was too used to the leisurely pleasant ways of French studios to fall suddenly into the more stern conditions of Hollywood. Here in Paris, according to law, the studios start work at noon and stop on the stroke of eight at night, with always an interval around four-thirty for tea and drinks. No work at all on Saturdays and Sundays. So, you see, one's art remains more one's art under such easy-going proceedings ! Though Darrieux was a bit veiled as to her studio opinions she was most chatty about the living conditions and the doings of the little set of French players out in Hollywood. They evidently form a little clique of their own and seldom mix with outsiders. In her opinion a star cannot live as she likes, as in Paris, but is forced to put on a show and live as a star. A simple little bungalow would not do — a big villa with a swimming pool and gardens simply must be the background for the star according to her idea. "Why, my dear, the life is exactly five times more expensive in Hollywood than in Paris," said she with shrugs of shoulders and blinking eyes. "Why, a steak in the restaurant costs a dollar and a half, and that without the fried potatoes!" To throw a party she found cost a very great deal because the champagne comes from France. She told of the vagabond life of Annabella, who moved four times since arriving in Hollywood, and when Danielle left she moved into her Mexican villa. Fernand Gravet and his charming wife Jane Renourdt live very simply and quietly in Westwood. Mireille Balin presented a peculiar situation. A beautiful and popular star in France, she suffered such acute homesickness that she returned to Paris without making a single film. She recovered immediately and is her old radiant self again in the Paris studios and pulls a long sad face at the mere mention of Hollywood. Danielle started work shortly after her arrival here on "Katia" under the direction of Maurice Tourneur, who has made films in America. Britain sent her King and Queen on a state visit to Paris and all the world seemed to be lined up along the Champs Elysees to view the spectacle. Hollywood, not to be outdone, was well represented by a few Queens of her own. The crowds while waiting for the sight of the Royal couple accompanied by the French President and Mme. Lebrun were highly entertained by watching the glamorous ones from Hollywood. These, my dears, were in the persons of Grace Moore, Marlene Dietrich, Gladys Swarthout, Madeleine Carroll and, as already mentioned, Sonja Henie. Surely a representative galaxy from the famed city of the films. Mere men in the gathering were Eddie Cantor, Darryl Zanuck and Adolphe Menjou. It is two years since Grace Moore has been in Paris and she was overjoyed to be here once more. La Moore's visit this time is of a more serious nature than many of her previous Paris excursions, for she is to make a film version of "Louise," the famous opera of Charpentier. As Grace has already sung the title role in America and France, she will not have much in the way of work to learn the words and music. She will make an English as well as a French version, so that America may enjoy the film without being so highbrow as to claim familiarity with the foreign French tongue. After a few conferences with the director, Abel Gance, a visit to Charpentier, the aged composer, and, cf course, a look-in at the Paris dressmaking shops, Grace dashed down to her villa in the mountains back of Cannes. No doubt she will be hob-nobbing with the Duke and Duchess of Windsor before she starts her film work. As the picture will be shot in and near Paris I'll be on the sidelines very often to watch, and listen to, the going-on. All of which I shall report to you later. For leading man, Grace will have that great French tenor, Georges Thill, who has sung the role opposite Miss Moore at the Metropolitan in New York and the Opera Comiquein Paris. Very often Grace has spoken of her desire to film "Louise," and the touching story with its picturesque scenes of Parisian life should make a splendid screen production. Madeleine Carroll was in our midst again, a decorative figure at most of the smart parties, as well as a most efficient ambassador from Hollywood in behalf of the Walter Wanger picture "Blockade," in which she co-starred with Henry Fonda. Through Madeleine's persuasive presentation of the case for the film, "Blockade," temporarily withheld from exhibition in • At home — quickly and safely you can tint those streaks of gray to lustrous shades of blonde, brown or black.
