NEICHBORS KICKED
WHEN ELINOR CLYN
TOOK TO JAZZINC
BY CONSTANCE PALMER

THURSDAY night, at the Hollywood
l. Hotels weekly dance, we were
bumped by some of the best people.
Priscilla Dean, just back from loca-
tiOn in British Columbia, was there.
Margery DAVIS pretty feet tripped the
light fantastic with Dana Todd, pro-
tege Of Madame Glyn, who also never
missed dance. Penrhyn Stanlaws
looked rather lonely, and l saw him
dancing only once, and then with Mrs.
William De Mile. Marguerite dc la
Motto and her fiance. Mitchell Leisen,
appeared to be the best of friends, in
spite of her published denial of their
engagement.
They tell me something amusing about
Mrs. Glyn. When she came to our
United StMes it appears she admired
excessively the life warming jazz dance
rs executed on the local floors. So she
bought her a phonograph and commits
stoned "Blenkie," her faithful secre-
tary, to assist her to learn. After TAX
ing lessons from the youngbloods down
stairs in the lobby of the Hollywood,
she and Blcnkie would repair to the
Glyn sNsctum and put theory into prac-
ticc.
Not only way into the wee sma'
hours would they step to the tune of
japanese Sandman. but all day. too
Three times Mrs. Glyn was forced to
move the typewriter, and might have
been asked to move a fourth by Il Dip
lomatic, clcrkly voicing of the protests
of neighbOrs unawcd by majesty, but
for the fact that she had mastered the
difficult art of jazz and could perform
conSummutely in public what she had
perfected in private.

COME time during this winter we
~ will see another of the big German
films featuring some of the Teutonic
stars who have already become familiar
to us. The remarkable thing about the
cast of 'One Arabian Night" is that
famous people take minor parts and
think nothing of it.
Poa Ncgri, star of Passion" and
Gypsy Blood" is the star of this pie
turo. To the left. she is seen sitting
while Ernst Lubitsch himself plays the
part of the old man. and the handsome
hero is played by Harry Licdtkc. who

other Negri pictures as we'll as "Decep-

you have seen him on the screen.
The circle shows Negri with another
cecbrity-Paul Wegener, who is
almost as famous as director as is
Lubitsch, but who plays n compare
lively minor part in this production.
The other picture shows the han
ding of one of the great mob scenes. 1t
represents a street in Bagdad with the
crowd cheering the arrival Of the itin-
Grant jugglers.
