LOS ANGELES. Jane 2s.-'Ain't
1t de trewff? Off wild de oil love an
on wild de newff?"
Some Iibretto worker il going ia
capitalize this constant refrain of the
Hollywood elevator boy. He huns it
all day and sings it all night and
points for reasons towel, the Marie
Prevost-Kenneth Harlan romance, for
instance,
1t is going to take only few days
more patience now-until February
10, to be exact-before Kenneth Har-
Ian can safely twiddle his fingers at
the divorce laws which got Rodolph
Valentino into such expensive trou-
BILE. On that eventful date the divorce
which Flo Hart obtained from him
will become absolutely absolute and
Kenneth will be free to captain an,
other ship on the matrimonial trip.
Marie Elected.
OF course, there is no question
about first mate. Marie Provost was
elected to that station long ago
almost six months ago, in fact-and
since then she and Kenneth have
been keeping discreet company.
The caveman tactics which Flo
Hart says Kenneth used on her
he was going through a course Of
caveman movies at the time, and pos,
sibly was trying the stuff out at
home-don't seem to worry Marie
Provost. What could worry the girl
who made q bathing suit famous on
the Sennett lot?
Still, it 10 hard for two hearts which
beat as two to be kept apart so long
when after February 10 they may
even beat as one. Marie loves Ken
meth, and she 10 not q bit scared that
he will do to her what Flo says he
did to her-throw the dishes, the
boudoir stuff and nearly throw Flo
herself out upon an interpretive
Broadway.
Mother Enthuses.
Kenneth's mother, Mrs. Rita Har-
Ian, spoke enthusiastically yesterday
of her sons imminent prospects Of
freedom from the wedding ahaekles,
but was quite averse to talking about
his plans to go back to Dan Cupid's
Sing Sing.
"Since these terrible scandals have
been coming out of Hollywood" said
Mrs. Harlan last night, ken has
toed the line. He has kept away
from those terrible studio people and
has a nice little bungalow of his own,
where he spends all of his spare
time, taking in none of the wild
parties. And as for marrying again
well, have personally advised Ken
against it,
But out in Hollywood they say
wait until February 10, or maybe II,
and then you'll hear something to
the mutual advantage of Mack SEN
