cree. At her side was the gentleman
whom the whole Hollywood public knew
as the man in the case-au save the
hard working husband.
Here she comes!" nervously whis.
pered the ancient producer. What will
I say to her?"
Congratulate her." said the wag who
was trying to get a job-not very sue
cessfully.
Congratulations, congratulations, y
beamed the white-haired mogus. And
turning to the gentle in question, he
added, And you, tool"
Then there are the two brother pro-
ducers who are so suspicious of being
overheard at their business machina-
lions that they take to the center of a
large vacant lot near their studio for
conference.
With hilarious scenario writers and
dialogue makers hooting discreetly from
all the adjacent windows.
A certain funster once agreed to do
gags for Harry Cohn. The funster, SO
the story goes, was to receive $3.50 for
the gags when completed. He found
himself unable to get the $3.50 when the
job was over. There seemed to be some
sort of a misunderstanding on the
writer's part.
He bided his time. Came large
Hollywood opening with the gag man at
the microphone in one of the theaters.
Up to him to call famous over to speak
to their friends of the air" When he
saw his enemy approaching he said in
the well known announcer's tone:
We'll, folks, nobody of any impor-
lance coming along right now, so may
as well tell you" etc.
And he feels it was worth $3.50 to him.

HOLLYWOOD, August (N.A.N.A).
I'm the not so very long ago two young
men of culture and distinction were
quite popular with a certain set in the
Hollywood colony. They were called by
their intimates gayly and somewhat
ironically Hank Swanson and Jaime
Del Rio.
Their very famous wives travelled in
q group a few notcheS higher in gelatin
finances, in the main. Both young men
referred bitterly to their status as hus-
bands of heavily courted and famous
women, and often at the tail end of
parties they openly discussed with frank
pathos the emptiness of their lives.
Monday Hank Swanson, better known
as the MarQuiSe de la FalaiSe, solved
his problem. He and Gloria Swanson
agreed ito live apart in the future, but
as yet no plans for divorce are an
nounced. Hollywood has not held any
thing for this young marquis beyond
post as husband of one OF the great
stars. He has known the colonys
patronage-a not pleasant thing.
The other young man solved his diff
ficulty by turning to playwrightlng and
European travel Fate closed the book
for him in Berlin while his wife was at
the height of her glory in Hollywood.
They represent two Of the most
pathetic stories the colony has ever
known.
And in REPUTATION of the charge that
we are becoming as other places, staid
and dignified, may I rise to defend us
with the story that Clara Bow is said
to drink all her liquids from a nursing
bottle because the process adds to the
sensuolIs lure of the famous Bow mouth.
It was told me with a "cross-my-
heart-and- hope -to-die" clause by
charming and hilarious lad who claims
he was an onlooker at the event OF
Clara taking her sustenance that way
at an afternoon tea where tea was
scarce.
An ancient film magnate has con-
tributed more humor to the saga of
Hollywood than any other inhabitant.
Recently he was crossing his spacious
studio lot when he saw approaching
him the beautiful blond wife of a ia
NOUS director who had just been
granted her interlocutory divorce de-
