THEY FIGHT AND KISS
When Lupe Velez appeared on
r Street two years ago, Mr.. Weiss
muller accompanied her to Wash
tngton and sat on top of piano
while the interviewers popped
questions at his wife. While Lupe
did four-a-day on the then Fox
stage, Johnny amused himself in
the Shoreham's pool or on the
golf links. In the middle of the
week he departed and the New
York columnists announced they
were through as legal mates. Then
the Weissmullers confounded the
predictions by kissing and making
up for the newsreels.
Sometimes" said Lupe, I'VE
fight but always we KEGS and make
up."
HELEN TAKES ON $50
Helen Hayes, WaShington's prize
gift to the theater, is expert at
handling the conventional inter
view with footlight scribeS. She
has the faculty Of dropping some
fact or opinion that fits neatly
into the news angle groove. Sci
dom evaSive, she rates about No.
among favorite actresses I have
eross-examined for story purposes.
Evidently Miss Helen is not ap-
palled at the thought of inter
views for she took on $50 high
school and college reporter editors
in a mass interview at the Broad
hurst Theater in New York on
Tuesday afternoon.
Quizzers were warned that all
questions on politics, domestic life
and other sidelines were taboo,
that the mass interview was to
be confined to queries about the
theater. Nevertheless one stu
dent did inquire what she thought
about the ex-King Edward. Re
piled Miss Hayes: "You must re-
member that I'm only playing Vic
toria, and am not the dear queen.
I'm sure she would have a definite
opinion on that subject but I
haven't"
The interview did disclose these
things: That Gary Cooper was her
favorite film leading man; that
Farewell To Arms" was the
movie role she liked best; that her
favorite epitaph was Dorothy
Parker'S EXCUSE My Dust; that
her most interesting experience Of
1896 was playing Victoria Re
gina" before the former Queen
Victoria of Spain, granddaughter
Of the former English Queen.

 "He is great, isn't he9" Kay as- sented easily.
 "And you're really married to him, aren't your" Cissie insisted. "1n spite of that unique wedding nightT Her eyes were keen now. "Xou are, aren't you, Kay9 No mistake about it9 No chance you'll wake up and find It's 0 dream9"
 Kay said cheerfully: I'm afraid not, Cissie. I know you hate to give up hope ."
 "Meeow" Cissie protested, and made tho gesture of clawing fingers at Kay's cheeks. Darling, I'm 50 happy for youl" she insisted. Then she realized that the room suddenly was silent, and sine looked around and clapped her hand over her mouth. Kay followed her glance and saw Bob coming toward them; by his side c tail, fair, lovely gFl, perfect in her every aspect cool and remote and calm.
 0eneyieve whispered softly: "You're in for 1t now, child!' But It needed not the warning to tell Kay who this was. The girl by Bobs side was stripping of her gloves. .

 Ali the room could hear. And now It's too iate," the girl agreed ii prctended despair. "Forever too late" They were come by this time to where Kay stood waiting, and Priscilla extended her hand to Kay. I'm Priscilla Hyde," she explained.
 T know," Kay agreed. I'm Kay Dakini" She felt GSncvieve'g amused approval. Color flowed faintly across Pr!scillas temples, but she said calmly:
 "Of course. I knew thatl Every" one knows thatl Everyone who has read the papersl'
 Kay looked ct Bob, who stood here uneasily. Voices filled the room again, covering their words. She turned to Priscilla. and something In her eyes appealed for mercy.
 I'm sorry I made Bob fail you yesterday" she said softly. You were expecting him. It must have spoiled your party. I am sorry"
 My dear, don't pity me-" Pris- cilla told her laughingly. T assure you I don't require it!"
 denevieve hooked her arm through Cissie's, who was still attentive here.
 "Cissie, I want to show you my latest" she said calmly. Come along with mel" She led CISsie, iiii- willing, away; and Bob and Kay and Priscilla were left together, c little isolated, near the wide win dow toward the street.

Kay had to receive congratuietlons and good wishes, and said her thanks with gracious assurance; she saw tho curious questions in some eyes and ignored them. There were older folk here, people or the age of Doctor and Mrs. Dakin; ana Kay was ct her case with them. Then suddenly Dr. Fabre, BobB chief, appeared with Mrs. Fabre and Kay when she met him did Ind herself trembling. He was A small fair man; and he studied her frank. iy, with keen blue eyes. He d!d not speak; and Kay said appealingly;
 T feel as though I ought to tell you my symptoms, pr. Fabre. Are you diagnosing mel"
 He smiled then. "I'm-diagnosing Hob," he corrected; and he said seriously: "An accurate diagnosis is three-quarters of the cure"
 She asked in on attempt at light- ness: Are you going to give mo Q prescription for him."
 He hesitated. "Yes," he said then. "Keep him at home, the nights when he's on call"
 "Is ho--on call often9" she asked.
 Every night" he told her, watch ing her closely. "I'il see to that, and III hold you responsible for seeing to 1t that he's - ready to workl" :.
 ehe looked ct him intently; and she spoke in Q lower tone. T think you're - not sorry about thls," she said slowly. T think you like mel" She smiled, moved her hands in 0 grateful gesture. "You people who are fond of Bob have ell been 90 good to me-"
 iIe said seriously: There is Q great career waiting for Bob, if he will take it. I thought Thursday that no had thrown 1t away. l think perhaps he may recapture it now, with you to help him"
 ghe met his eye steadily. You know--what happened about usI' she asked.
 "Bob told me-" he agreed.
 "Theh how can you put any hope In mel"
 He answered: For the first time in his life, Bob admits that he hes done . mistaken and unworthy thing" His eyes twinkled. T think now, after having seen you. that perhaps his biggest mistake is In regrctting what he did. But con- triton may be good for him."

 Kay nodded, calmly now, able to defend herself. "Of course the eti- gagement between you was just Q family arrangement, with no Feel: ing on either side. I understand t,erfcctiyl" she said in Q casual tone.

 Somewhat later Kay saw Bob 70 to meet newcomers in the hall, heard voices there which were fa- miliar. He returned, with Cissio Means; and Cissie swooped across the room to make her duties to Mrs. Dakin, then caught Kay and kissed her.
 "Darlingi" she cried. "I'm so glad for youl" She bore Kay away, and denevieve came watchfully after them. "You know, 0enevieve," Cissie exclaimed. T deserve Q lot of tho credit Indeed do. If I hadn't made Bud and Bob take me for row around the harbor, they'd never In the world have passed under the stern of the "driffln"; and if they hadn't, Kay would never have Jumped into the boat, and nothing would have happened ct all" She hugged Kay atfectionately, her arm around the others waist. "Aild iil spite of that, ungrateful, you didn't even invite me to your weddingl"
 oenevieve said in Q drawing dis- like: "But you had tho fun of send. Ing out the announcements, Cissiel"
 Cissics eyes were wide; she ap. pcaled to Kay. "But mercy, darling, you didn't want to keep 1t secret, did you?" And she exclaimed: {: "Heavons, if it were me, I'd pub- lish it from the hcusetopsl I've had my cap set for Bob for years, poSi- lively years. Kay; and he'd never even look ct me.

 Cissie hugged her arm. "only. be careful, Kay" she advised, watch- ing the other shrewdly. "Bob's as tricky as c trout. denevieve, you know that yourself. If he were mine, I'd handcuff him and chain him to the log of our bedl"
