ency over her i'll health Our sympathy
goes out TO Mr.. Mulhall and to little
Jack, their SON
Enid Bennett and her husband, Fred
Niblo, are happy in expectation of-oh,
how do you say those things anyway,
it's to be in July. I think.
Sunday Goldwyn put on a publicity
! stunt at one Of our parks to promote
Tom Moore's new picture, Made in
Heaven" A couple were employed to
be married by wireless from n balloon
and then jumped down in parachutes-
agnifying the return to earth, / sup
pose. Before the ceremony, however.
the balloon backfired or something and
knocked the bride unconscious. She
had to be carried from the scene of
action in an ambulance and didn't come
to for hours. Couldn't a Nietzshe write
a wonderful subtitle for the scene?
Betty Ross Clarke. who is descend
ant Of the original. but doesn't allow it

Percy Heath, the RcaIart continuity
writer, called on lady friend the other
day-or may be it was mis- wife he was
asking for. I'm a little hnzy on the de e
tails. Anyway the maid said the lady
had just gone TO see What Every
| Woman Knows " I'm wait" said
Mr. Heath 'Shc ought to be back in
ten minutes" Subtle.
Mr.. Heath wrote Wanda Hawley s
current picture. Her Face Value" in
which she is supported by-no. | mean
! her leading man is T. Roy Barnes. the
Cnly person who can get away with
musical comedy antics on the screen.
Watch him and see If IN not right.

If you get what I mean.
T HEAR there was quite a riot before
L c. Is. de Mile left for New York when
he refused 70 give Sada COwan screen
credit for tine picture just finished. Hrl
understanding was that she was to re-
ceive joint recognition with Bculah
Marie Dix Howsomever, the agree
ment was verbal, which, in all fairness
to both sides is not so good.
