And Dick installed a microphone in the nursery and a loudspeaker in every room in his home because of the new baby. When the baby cries, they will know it immediately, whereever they are in the house. Of course it's none of my business, but I think Dick has let himself in for many a sleepless night! Now back to wine Joan, whose latest gadget is novel and clever. It is a meal selector, which operates like a slot machine and offers more than 500 dietetically correct food combinations. Joan says it solves the everpresent housewifely problem of what to have for dinner. One of the first things Dick will show you when you go a-visiting the Powells is the swimming pool. His has a bank of ultra-violet ray lamps underneath the water line of the pool which heats the water to the desired temperature for night bathing during chilly weather. Comfort to the 'nth degree. What is perhaps the last word in dog boudoirs is that recently built by Mary Boland in her new Beverly Hills home. The tiny room is occupied by Mary's pet Pekingese: one black, one white and one golden-haired. Each of the little canines has its own bed— an actual bed with mattress, sheets, et al. Also there are photographs of their many dog friends framed and hung on the wall and autographed with said friends' paws. Who said a dog's life was a tough one? Here are a couple of interior decoration hints for you gleaned from star abodes. Olivia de Havilland is mad about perfume plaques. She has these bright little pictures of flowers hung up in every room. They are treated so they give off a delicate floral fragrance for an indefinite period. Cute? Barbart Stanwyck has solved the perplexing problem of what to do with a fireplace in the good old summer time. Barbara grew tired of looking at the black walls of the fireplace in her home and experimented by placing potted tropical flowers in the hearth. And now there's a riot of color to greet you when you enter Barbara's living room. You'd like Claudette Colbert's house. It's as smart and modern as Claudette herself. While Claudette was vacationing in Europe her upstairs sitting-room pictures were reframed and the results are really lovely and worth following. The room is pale yellow (in contrast to Claudette's dark beauty) and the new frames are pale, silvery tin. The tin has a dull finish and the frames are like borders, with the sides missing! The glass used is bevel-edged and the effect is a cool, modern one. One of the main features of Martha Raye's home in the San Fernando valley is a sound-proof room where she can practice her singing and dancing without disturbing the rest of the household. No matter how lusty her "Yea, Mam," the neighbors can't hear her and the window glass is safe. Gladys Swarthout also has a sound-proof room in her Beverly Hills home where she j rehearses her songs. And speaking of Gladys, here is something novel. When she was building her lovely new home she had a day's newspaper, a roll of movie film and four of her phonograph records placed in a strong box and lodged under the floor of a wing of her home. So when some archaeologist 1000 years hence unearths the box he will find movie films of Gladys and phonograph records of her voice singing some of her favorite operatic arias. The men in your family would like the newest gadget installed by Pat O'Brien. It is a turntable in front of his garage which automatically turns his car around and backs it into the garage. Pat says the invention is ideal for narrow driveways. Pat likes fur rugs, although he is no big game hunter himself. But stretched out on the waxed floors of his cozy den you'll find two leopard skins, a lion skin and a black bear skin— all shot by somebody else. Like many another star, Pat has a sneaking love of gadgets that turn out to be gags. He has a special chair at the edge of his swimming pool on the spacious grounds of his Westwood home. Underneath is a hole in the cement through which, at the proper moment, a plunger rises, tilting the chair's occupant into the pool. This comprises initiation into the O'Brien Tank Corps. (A hold-over from his submarine picture days, I'll bet!) Houses take on the personality of those who live in them and Neil Hamilton got an insight into the great Garbo's mysterious personality when he moved into his home which he had rented to Garbo. The first few days Neil spent in un-tacking the shades and removing the blinds which the "lady of mystery" had kept tightly closed. Then Neil discovered some writing on the dressing room wall. It was a series of dates with figures opposite each date, implying weights. Evidently la Garbo kept careful track of her poundage with her own private scales. Wallace Beery has turned his garage into the official headquarters for all of his hobbies and spends a great deal of his leisure time there. The upstairs room is "The Sisters" seemed to give Bette Davis a new lease on the country's screens. Next you will see her in "Dark Victory."
