Silver Screen (Nov 1933–Apr 1934)

Gcib 2 19085 MAR -5 1934 Opening Lupe Velez feeds her tiny chiahuahua with a dropper. Lupe carries the dog in her coat pocket. WHENEVER you hear a loud noise in Hollywood now, you know that Lupe Velez and Johnny Weissmuller are having another one of their little battles. One of their recent arguments started after they had been to see "Flying Down to Rio." Lupe said it was much too improbable, even in musicals, to have girls dancing on top of airplanes, to which Johnny replied that it wasn't improbable at all as he had often seen men do acrobatic stunts on the tops of racing planes. "You're just dumb, Lupe," Johnny finished off. "You are stupid, too," shrieked Lupe, and that night, for the stenth time, Johnny moved out. BUT this cheers us up. Mary Boland and Alison Skipworth have been chosen to do Peter Arno's famous "Whoops Sisters." We can't wait for that one. » — — » MAUREEN O'SULLIVAN and John Farrow have publicly announced their engagement and will be married some time in the near future. No one could doubt Johnny's sincere love for Maureen after seeing the intense suffering in his face when Maureen lay seriously ill in the hospital last winter, after an acute appendicitis operation. FRANCIS LEDERER, the new screen sensation, claims that he is not married, girls, so there's your chance. But be careful, now, for Francis has very definite ideas about the type of wife he wants. He told the LTollywood press, "I want marriage, but some way it must be kept free from domesticity. Domesticity would kill me." So don't expect too much from the curly headed Czech. . — „<§>„ — „ "P ONNIE COLMAN escorts Virginia Peine -LV Lehman, Chicago social registerite with a Fox contract, around to parties these days.
