The romance between Connie" Tai
madge and Willie Buster" Collier,
son of the well known actor. IL
becoming quite serious. Certainly |
when two young persons sit OPP
pOsite at table for twenty minutes,
as / saw them at the Montmartre
Cafe on "Artistes Night" and Just
look into each others eyes without
saying a word, it must be quite
serious" romance. FaVors that
night were little fortune telling fish
imported from Germany. Buster"
placed one Of the fish on Comics"
open palm. / was anxiouS-perhaps
more curious than he-to see what
Comics" emotions were-as react
ed by the fish. The "emotion" are
printed on the envelope as follows:
/, jealousy; 2, indifference; 3, In
love; 4, tickle; S, false; 6, dead one;
Z, passionate.
AS nearly as I could see this Is
what the fish said about Connie:
1. no reaction; 2, ditto; 8, violent
reaction; 4, no reaction, s, no re-
action; - but -
linen DuSIeL caught m9 WdtCn-
ing them. Buster" is brighter
must have suspected my occupa-
ton because I was reading a news
paper-so he covered the remainder
Of the fish's reactions.
Clara Bow, the Brooklyn high
school girl, who without previous
acting experience crashed" into
the movies and made good, is GO
ing about with Garrett Ellison Fort,
the young New York scenario
writer. Fort is one Of the best
ukulele players in FINLAND.
At the Montmartre Cafe this
week. I glimpsed Mack Sennett.
the very rich bachelor and comedy
impressario who struggled to the
/. very top Of the profession from the
lowly calling Of chorus boy at the
New York Casino. Mack was dane
ing with and very attentive to an
attractive young Pasadena society
girl who has bobbed auburn hair
and an adolescent expression. She
entered the films recently and every
one hears Mack is to star her.
Mack's way with women" has al
ways mystified the boulevardiers.
There's really no mystery about it.
Mack is a royal entertainer, a man
with an endless supply Of original
and witty conundrums and a great
fund of humor. Thus he is able
to keep the girls guessing until he
is ready to give them the laugh.
Viola Dana welcomed spring yes
terday by appearing on the boule-
ward in one of the very newest
silk alpaca plaid sport dresses, blue
and red.
If am to believe only an in.
finitesimal part of what was whis-
pered to me behind fans in the
cocoanut grove at the Ambassador
Hotel a night or so ago, then the
stork is scheduled to visit Mrs.
Jack Gilbert Neatrice Joy), Mrs.
Albert Roscoe barbara Bedford),
Mrs. Wallace Mcdonald Doris May,
Mrs. Harold Lloyd mildred Davis
and Mrs. James w. Kirkwood Gila
Lee).
Charlie Chaplin is doing extensive
entertaining in the cocoanut grove
at the Ambassador Hotel and in the
palm room at the Biltmore Hotel
in honor of Anita Stewart and Mrs.
Ira Hill. wife of the we'll known
New York photographer.
Sam Goldwyn, the producer, has
been entertaining Estelle Taylor at
dinner parties and theater parties
recently.
Shirley Mason appears to have
defeated all contenders for the at.
tentions Of Harlem Fengler, the
young Chicago automobile racer,
Jacqueline Logan, who was men,
toned in the divorce suit of George
Melford, the director, is not going |
to let Uncle, George" grow old. I |
saw them dancing about in the |
cocoanut grove this week. "Uncle |
George" had put on a new suit Of |
evening clothes. Jackie" wore a
simple pure white, girlish frock.
"Vi" Dana's favorite young prize
fighter, frankie Grandetta, "Sheik |
of the Four Rounders,' was knocked |
out again this week.
