[ UISE RAINER and Clifford Odets have J— I' evidently decided to be Hollywood's most unconventional married couple. They are to have their own separate domiciles so that when they are working they can concentrate on their respective careers. If Odets wants to work late at night or early in the morning, as playwrights have a habit of doing, he doesn't have to worry about disturbing Luise, who, on the other hand, can act all over the house when she is in the throes of a picture without upsetting Odets. This was last tried by Claudette Colbert and Norman Foster and didn't seem to work out so well after six years. But in the case of Fannie Hurst and her husband it has worked beautifully for over fifteen years.
T ILI DESTE, xvho co-stars with Edward G. ■L-< Robinson in "Thunder Over the City," an English picture, is a little uncertain in her use of the Anglo-Saxon tongue. Recently signed on a contract by Columbia in Hollywood she told the publicity department, "One thing I cannot do. I positively cannot slim."
KENT TAYLOR is showing his favorite fan letter around Hollywood. It reads: "Dear Mr. Taylor-I saw your last picture six times. You were marvelous. Please send me an autographed cushion."
WELL, there's just no telling what some people will do. One of the waiters at the Brown Derby is so movie-starmad that he buys all the star-used tablecloths from the restaurant for his collection. Among his pet exhibits is a tablecloth with a drawing of a cow by Tyrone Power, another with an impromptu joke hastily written down by Eddie Cantor, a game of tit-tat-toe between Joe E. Brown and Arthur Treacher, the first two lines of a poem by Robert Taylor, and a stock market ticker drawn by Ben Bernie.

WHEN Alice Faye was asked by an interviewer what 1936 had taught her. Mice answered: "That love is news." Which is pretty smart of Alice. She and Tony Martin are still in the clinches.
WHEN Kay Francis returned to Hollywood after her recent European ramble she brought her friends do/eus of hand-made Tyrolean dolls, beautifully out
fitted, and each doll is equipped with an amazing yodel. By the by, Kay returned to Hollywood a whole month before she had to start a picture, something she has never done before. Is Europe slipping? #— "
'Turn about is fair play, says Hollywood. ^ Margaret Sullavan up and married Katharine Hepburn's best boy friend, so now Katie gets Maggie's Broadway play "Stage Door" to star in for RKO. It is generally conceded by tlie wise guys of cinema city that that little commotion in Chicago over Howard Hughes, the record-breaking aviator-producer-playboy, might just be a bit of publicity to help put Katie's play ("Jane Eyre") over. Publicity or not, we wouldn't be knowing, but we do know that Hughes has flown Hepburn East in his plane several times and they are quite palsy.
And you've heard by now, we rather imagine, that Miss Sullavan is going to present her agent-husband, Leland Heyward, with an heir.

CUNDAYS never find Barbara Stanwyck and Bob Taylor in Hollywood. At the crack of dawn they are oil for Barbara's ranch in San Fernando Valley where she and Marian Marx are breeding horses to sell to racing stables. Bob and Barbara like to ride, though "nothing fancy" says Barbara. But right now they are doing more painting than riding— there're miles and miles of fence to be painted.
