MISS" CRAWFORD was the most
AvA bitter on the subject of marriage.
Her marriage to Douglas Fairbanks,
jr., was apparently such Q nightmare
that she doesn't even want to think
about it. When she discusses it her
brows become clouded and she looks as
though she might suddenly jump up
and begin tossing some of her hand.

full in HOLLYWOOD? What can a per-
manent relationship with some one be
which Is founded on temperament and
kind of gust of super affection?
You may have fallen in love under the
Klieg lights, heavily painted in dull
yellow, or you may have found your
all-in-all sailing around in q gondola
barge in a Burbank studio. Or some
week end at one of those splendid Lew
Cody house parties you may have
fallen down flight of stairs and found
Cupid at the bottom of them.
It's all. of course, in the way you
look at it, but we don't see why, for
instance, Miss Velez or Mr.. Weismuller
should have found much In common
The former had waltzed her way into
good many hearts, and so had the
latter. But, judging from a .conversa-
ton with Weismuller last year, when
he was here at the Fox, neither had
more than good fun at heart, and
neither has any intention of settling
down to gentle and real domesticity.

EVEN John Gilbert, who has made
something of a career of it, hasn't
found marriage is permanent Holly

ginia Bruce has thrown up the sponge.
we should think that he'd be pretty
careful before he starts on the 100000
eyed rounds again. People who know
Mr.. Gilbert say that he is a delightful
person, very unlike his screen self, nicely
poised, exceedingly amusing and pleas
ant to have around when the cigars
are passed. the liqueurs are in order
and it becomes time to roll out of the

with cronleS, and Mr.. Gilbert with wives
is apparently two people. If he can
tell good story on party, he evidently
isn't so good at telling stories at home
As a husband he must be just about
zero.
So why marry? And why keep giving
Hollywood a black eye? And why saw
fool things when you are married and
know perfectly well that the chances
of your splitting up are just about
$3.50?
Hollywood should be one big happy
family OF bachelors and old maids.

Composes Suite.
EDWARD x. DUKE ELLINGTO.

EDWARD K. (DUKE) ELLINGTON,
- who brought his orchestra from
Harlem's Cotton Club to the theatrical
Broadway of the country has composed
a suite Of five movements, two of these
for chorus tracing Negro music from
its source in the African jungle. The
episodes are savage war dance, the
captive's voyage over the Atlantic, old
slave days on Southern plantation, the
evolution of ragtime in Hot Harlem"
and the final recapitulation. an apothe-
sis aiming Ito exalt the Negro at least
to point of fuller recognition and a
more comfortable place among the
peoples of the world" Ellington, who
currently is playing at Warner Brothers
Earle Theater. has scored the suite for
his own Jazz band, including three
trlmpets. three trombones, four saxo-
phones (two replaced at times by clar-
inets), double bass, banjo, piano and
drums.

IF EVER young playwright or play

duction of a drama, I shall seat him at

ment is a pageant or a cinema, he
should limit his cast to the smallest

inconsequential though "atmospheric"
