Typical big-time Hollywood social event: Norma Shearer is hostess to supper party at the "Troc" honoring Helen Hayes after opening of Helen's play, "Ladies and Gentlemen." Left to right in Weissman's candid shot at left: Rosalind Russell, Burgess Meredith — stage actor in Hollywood for another film try; Norma; Orson Welles, young Mercury Theatre producer-actor making first movie for RKO; and Miss Hayes, the star of the evening. Close-up, below, of noted Leland Hayward and famous wife Margaret Sullavan as she gossips between acts at opening of Miss Hayes' play at the Biltmore Theatre in Los Angeles. Play drew only lukewarm notices, but the audience was terrific! Early arrivals at theatre were Norma Shearer and her party. Above, Shearer's screen team-mate in "The Women," Rosalind Russell, is seen with Burgess Meredith. Right, Franchot Tone's supper partner was Loretta Young, sporting smart new coiled coiffure she wears in new film, "Eternally Yours." 18
