 Hollywood. Button, button. who's got the button2 Remember that old game we used Co play as kidsf We'll, that's just what it is ,---chiId's play, as compared to Hol- Slywood's new pastinie of dollar. dollar. where's that Adrienne Aines million?
 nver since Adrienne hopped off to Reno to get divorce from Ste- phen Ames, Hollywood (and prob- ably the, rest of the country) has been thick with stories about the million dollars Ames settled on Adrienne at the time of their mar
 Now 1t turns out that the stories are about as fantastic as those about Katherine Hepburn's $16,- O00,OO0 fortune during her early days In the film colony.
 As matter of fact, Adrienne received $100, 100, at the time of her imarriage--a wedding gift from Ames' mother. Tn their recent property settlement, she got their Beverly Hills home and two small cars. And that's all there Is. There won't Do anything else. not even . penny of alimony.
 Curves, All Curves
 Found: A sthunch supporter of Mae Vests theory that it's the curves that get. the men. So,. girls, perhaps you'd better forget that diet stuff--maybe there is some- thing to this curvacious business,
 Miss West's staunch supporter is Miss Ethel Greer, known In the show world as "Joily Ethel" She weighs 636 pounds, has Q perfect e1-inch waistline, and more curves than a roller coaster. And she has been married to the same man, tiny 140-pound structural steel worker, for 23 years.
 Don't worry about your figure" she declares. "Somewhere there IS a loving man for every woman In the world--a man who'll love and cherish you ali the days of your life. even though your hips resenn. bie the south end of Q blimp and your waistline resembles c track built for six day bicycle racing"
 There must be something. to what Mrs Greer says, because her husband visits her at the studio, where she now ig working in HHoopla," every time he can get away from work. And she never has known girl who would dare to steal him away from her.
 Polly's Head Hurtsl
 The other night Polly Moran at- tended the reopening of the Rev. erly. Wiltshire Gold Room. How. ever. she didn't like the table on the mezzanine floor assigned to her. But her kicks to the management did no good.
 So Polly ups and moves into Q ringside seat with Purnell Pratts party. That was q signal for the reak of her group to take offense at being left. One of them sought revenge by bouncing Q sugar bowl off Poiiy's head. That was too much. The actress left.
 Beer for Breakfast!

 Polo Sights ..
 Down to the Riviera polo fieId for the game between Big Boy Wiiliams' Ramblers and Daryl Zanuck's Los Angeles team. and those Ramblers doing some genuine rambling. ... now I'm convinced that zanuck should stick to making pictures. |. Hal Roach's playing didn't startle the natives, either. ... It must be fun for actors. who take orders six days a week to give the producers q drubbing on the seventh.
 Plenty of celluloid celebrities in the stands. .. .and doing every thing but organising q cheering section for the Ramblers. Polo certainly has become rnovieland's sunday afternoon pastime. Charles Farrell and Johnny Mack Brown both escorting Charlie's
