PoLA NEGRI is the most recent fiancee attributed to Charlie Chaplin, Hollywood's most famous squire of dames. When questioned about the engagement Pola says "nossing" and Charlie says less, with emphasis. Every morning a telegraph messenger delivers a night letter signed C. C. to Pola, as she sips her breakfast chocolate, and the two are seen together everywhere. Charlie's devotion smooths a little the path that is none too smooth for Pola at the Lasky studio. Upon her arrival in Hollywood, Paramount officials heaped honors upon Pola . . . none of which Pola refused. Which added no whit to Gloria Swanson's pleasure, heretofore queen of the Lasky lot. A tittle incident at the Paramount banquet, given recently in honor of visiting officials from New York, added to the gaiety of nations here. The guests were seated around the festive board. At the head of the table, between Adolph Zukor and R. B. Kent, there was an empty chair. Between Jesse Lasky and C. B. DeMille there was another vacant chair. Suddenly there fell a hush a strain of low music . . . the curtains parted and in swept Pola, gorgeously arrayed, seated herself in one of the vacant chairs. Whispers of admiration from the guests. Then . . . another hush ... more music . . . again the curtains parted and in swept an even more gorgeously arrayed figure, triumph fairly oozing from every inch of her. Gloria had made the final entrance! Mae Murray Gives Russian Dinner. R. AND MRS. ROBERT LEONARD (Mae Murray) entertained recently at a real, honest-togoodness Russian dinner with vodka and lots of atmosphere. It was given at their new home, topping one of the Hollywood hills, and belonged formerly to Edwin Carew. Mischa Romanoff, whom they say is related to the ex-czar, and another Russian friend spent the entire day preparing the repast. Among the guests were Mr. and Mrs. Earl Williams, Jackie Saunders, Rod LaRoque, Dorothy Farnum, Rupert Hughes and Robert Frazer. Norma Talmadge Is Back. 1 HE Talmadges have returned from their pleasure trip abroad. Norma brought with her an English protege, Margaret Leahy, whom she will introduce in her new picture, Within the Law. Buster and Natalie Keaton . . . and, of course, the baby * . . went to New York to meet the travelers. "Tobie Tyler" for Jackie. Can you imagine a happier choice of story for Jackie Coogan than Toby Tyler, the favorite story of thousands of children of a generation back? Part of the story entails a three-ring circus, and Jackie thinks his salary of $2.50 a week (as he believes it to be) is all velvet. Viola Dana's Mother Dies. MRS. MARY FLUGRATH, mother of Viola Dana and Shirley Mason, died in Hollywood recently. The funeral was attended by scores of prominent film folk. Goldwyn's President Honored. Highly festive was the homage occasioned by the recent western visit of Edward Bowes, president of the Goldwyn studios. Rupert Hughes gave a dinner for him at the Oub Royale, the smart new rendezvous on the beach-ward boulevard. The long, narrow table edging the dance floor marked the center stage for the fashionable dancing and dining audience. There were Mr. and Mrs. Eric Von Stroheim and Marshall Neilan with his young wife, Blanche Sweet, looking demurely bridey in a dove-colored chiffon dinner gown and a chic toque of azure blue, winged with feathery little sprays of black. A distinguished figure was Mrs. Abraham Lehr, who is the wife e> {Continued on Page 71)
