Hollywood-Heigh- -ho--it doesn't seem so long, in mere years, since the ascendancy and decline of Mack Sennett's Eye-Filling Galaxy of Bathing Beauties.
 But the interval must have loom- ed like a life span to many movie player who picked up 8 paper the other day and read about Marie Preyost-about her struggles in ob- scurity and her final, tragic exit.
 There were 50 many of those Sennett nymphs who today are only half-forgotten names - Juanita Hansen, Mabel Normand, Mary Thurman, Olive Borden, Vera Sted- man, Maude Wayne, Roxie McGow- an, and others.
 Esther Ralston is still around, playing a part now and then. Glo- ria Swanson has slipped into grace full retirement; she doesn't need to worry.
 Only two of MT. Sennett's last seagoing proteges still are prom inent in pictures. One is Sally Ei- lers, who is under contract to Uni- versal and has been teamed again with Jimmy Dunn.
 The other is Carole Lombard. A lot of wild waves have broken on California beaches since shy little Jane Peters cavorted for the crank camera in a droopy bathing suit and rubber bonnet. The evening gowns which, as Miss Lombard, she wears in modern pictures gives those old costumes all the somber propriety of shroud.
 Proud of Lymph Days
 Miss Lombard never has been re- ticent about acknowledging her Sennett apprenticeship. Proud of it, in fact; says 1t overcame her shyness and taught her timing.
 She said: Tt was mighty good training. Some other modern play CTS would be benefited by a few months of Jumping into bathtubs with their clothes on, taking cust- ard pies on the chin, and riding in automobiles that fall apart"
 Some of the comedy beauties married well. Phyllis Haver is the wife of broker, Billy Seaman. Will liam Sieter, the director, married Marian Nixon. And Virginia Fox is Mrs. Daryl zanuck.
 Plans Comeback
 And what of Sennett himself?

 A studio business representative not long returned from Barcelona, which is still pretty tranquil, tells me about some theaters there:
 There's one picture house where you pay three pesetas admission and stick out your hand, not for 8 ticket, but to get a rubber stamp snacked on the back of 1t. Then you show your hand to the door, man.
