PHILADELPHIA, Pa, May
21-Friday night society, visit
ing exhibitors and guests,
turned out en- masse for the
eolorful horse show ball given
ct the Traymore Hotel in
Atlantic City.
This affair was second only
to the famous hunt ball given
In Baltimore after the Mary
land Hunt Club race.
Supper tables were arranged
al around the sides Of the
enormous ballroom. AS the
horse show was not over until
nearly IL o'clock, the ball did
not reach full sway until /
o'clock, and lasted until 6
o'clock in the morning.
There were many notables
present. The Governor of New
Jersey and Mrs. Harry Moore
seemed to enjoy immensely the
exciting display. They sat at
the table with Mayor and Mrs.
Bacharack, who were also en-
tertaining a number Of lovely
young girls and men.
The president of the Horse
Show. j. Haines Lippincott,
and Mrs. Lippincott, enter
tained at a table for 20. Among
those at this table was Henry
Wise, who formerly came from
Warrenton, Va.
I had not seen him for a
number Of years, and his hair,
which used to be dark, is sill
very white, but he looks just
the same and I recognized him
at once, as he did me, and I
felt very much at home among
many strangers when he came
over to my table and said:
"How are you, Nina?" as
though it hadn't been over 20
years since I've seen him, and
at that time, believe it or not,
I was very thin.

Dietrich Never
Misses Film

Marlene Dietrich, Paramount
film star, whose next Josef Won
Sternberg production, "The Scar
let Empress" is coming to War,
ner Bros. Earle Theater Friday,
is the champion movie fan among
all the stars of Hollywood. Dur
ing her four years in California,
she has seen more than a hun
dred feature films each year,
never missing a production of
Importance.
Miss Dietrich attends the pic
ture theaters not only for enter
tainment, but because she is
deeply interested in the technical
aspects of the picture business.
She regards direction, story prep
arations, photography and cut
ting of films as being more absorb
ing than acting. Those who
know her best say that she has
a surprising knowledge of all
those specialized branches of the
business.
One of the reasons Miss Die
trich sees so many pictures is
because her social life is limited.
She has comparatively few close
friends in Hollywood and spends
most of her leisure moments with
her daughter, Maria, who makes
her first appearance in The
Scarlet Empress"
She sees most of her pictures in
the smaller neighborhood thea

off Michigan avenue. Then they
set out to ind their bus. It was
one of those perfect Indian Sum-
mer afternoons. Michigan avenue
was gay with bunting and brave
with banners. The Richard Hills
of jackson Heights may have
been brave; but they were GER
tainly not gay.

gloomily. A little knot of people
waited at the bus stop. A big.
green, double-decked juggernaut
bore down upon them; slithered to
stop. The little group surged
forward.

Dick groaned inwardly. He re-

bored him more thoroughly. By
an effort of will he managed to
achieve sickly smile.

watch, champed at the bit. AT

Then one fine weekend last Fall
(junior architecting being still in
the doldrums) the Richard Hills
decided to forsake Jackson Heights
long enough to catch a glimpse Of
Chicago's Worlds fair. One of
those enticingly low-rate round
trip excursions tnar the railroads
were then offering. The trick be-
ing that you had to sit up all night
in chair-car.
Kay was delighted. But that
didn't prevent her from almost
missing the train. THANK good
ness" Dick moaned, as he spied
her scurrying toward him across
the expanse of the Upper Level,
another minute and I'd have been
starting on my last fingernail!'
Somewhat frayed as to nerves,
stiff of joints, and wrinkled as to
garb, the Richard Hills creaked off
their train in Chicago, late the
following forenoon.

A slim, feminine figure tripped
forward to greet them. Helen

New York. Then Helen's husband
had been transferred to Chicago.
1t had been hoped that the Hills
might put up with the Norths for
the two nights that they must
spend in Chicago. In fact, the
Hills travelling allowance practi-
cally demanded this.
