They all feel like that out of
Hollywood. And particularly in the
small towns.
When it got around that Marlene
Dietrich was going to Yuma a few
years ago for location scenes in
''The Garden of Allah" the entire
district for miles around. fell right
into the spirit of the thing.
The Chamber of Commerce was
there with an offer of a testimonial
dinner, two ladies' clubs booked her
for tea, a theater manager de-
manded her for public appearances
1.-TWO shows a day. and in a single
night more farmers collected at the
location site than Paul Revere gath
cred at Lexington.
There was nothing the assistant
director could do about it, either.
1t was their desert, wasn't it? Two
enterprising grocers set up rival
hot dog stands. and the farmers
sat around, munched and watched
the show. One of them gallantly
informed Miss Dietrich that this
was better than the circus any
day.

Outstanding instance of a Hol-
lywoodian getting the freak treat
ment while travelling was that of
Robert Taylor when he made that
trip to Europe.
Taylor, a Well-mannered fellow
flew to New York and enroute was
set upon and forcibly kissed by a
girl passenger in the plane, who
later turned out to be a newspaper
reporter with an assignment and

scribers that kissing Robert Taylor
was washout. Taylor's opinion of
being kissed by her was never made
public.
Then. of course, there was that
unpleasant incident aboard ship
Two girls were discovered hiding
under the screen lovers stateroom
bed. And though some Investigators
limited that the girls may have been
planted there it was generally
agreed that they were a surprise
to Taylor, who is above such pranks

Abbey Players of Dublin when he
was picked, out of imminent dis

wonderful from there. But it's very
different from the inside looking
out. The first time people rush
around you asking for your auto
graph, it's wonderful. 1t makes you
feel so important"
important" interrupts her hus-
band, "as bird in a pie. Important
as finger in slammed DOOR"
"Yes, darling" says Mrs. Barry
more soothingly. "Once you get
perspective on it, it doesn't make
you feel good at all. Then, in your
private moments, when nobody is
looking and you don't have to be
ladylike, you can say oh sugar, oh
darn, darn, darn, this is real
nuisance. We can't take walk in
the street. We can't go into a store
to buy something. We have to live
very artificial, crowded, irritating
lives"
Mrs. Barrymore was reminded that
such fame gave her the opportunity
to meet successful, we'll known peo-
pie, to choose friends among people
with stuff on the ball. Il used to
think that, too," she replied. But
it doesn't work out. You don't really
get chance to know the people you
meet. You stare at them and they
stare at you.
"As a matter of fact, there is only
one real compensation for all this
hustle and high-pressure living. I
know it sounds mercenary and hard
and awfully commercial, but it's the
truth. The money is the thing that
makes people endure it and go
through with it."
"Ah, money!" said her husband,
"Ah, dough! All, bucks! Once knew
you we'll"
Eyes, darling" said Mrs. Barry
more with tender smile.
Mrs. Barrymore is a lovely girl to
look at and listen to. She has dark
brown hair and warm, dark brown
eyes and a warm, animated, soft
looking face, and there is poise and
distinction in her walk and manner.
She is almost IS years younger than
her husband, who was 81 February
Is. When she comes into a room,
the room lights up. She brings
eagerness and youth with her. It
seems quite obvious that she has
made her husband look on this gray
old world with new, fonder eyes.
Fewer things are bore for him
nowadays.
She was asked bluntly if she found
her famous husband hard to handle
in view of the we'll known Barrymore
temperament. 'The Barrymore
temperament is very much over
rated,' she said. Its fiction"
I'VE get along all right" said Mrs.
Barrymore. Mr.. Barrymore is fond
of outdoor life, fishing and boating
and camping. So I've become an
outdoor lassie. + never have done it
before, but I'm getting to like it..
Once hooked marlin. I played
1t for 20 minutes and nearly died
OF excitement. And Mr.. Barrymore
is going back to the theater for my
sake. I'm the stage struck one in
this family. After all, he has done
everything on the stage an actor
can do, and the movies are so much
easier. You work six weeks and then
rest. On the stage, if you're in a
hit, you work every night for a year.
But he has consented to 60 back for

to the girl who was living in
obscurity and going to free college
in New York and hoping in leisure
moments that she would become an
actress or maybe a great newspaper
writer.
But now the kilograms aren't torn

even a ficker-eXcept perhaps one

It was several years after he had

Jimmy Cagney admitted he had

Enrol Flynn has made good on
nearly all of his tall tales, including
the one that he had played Fletcher
Christian in an English version
of that story later filmed as 'Mutiny

now that he made his early the
atrical career sound more important
than it was.
No. George Washington could

their paths may cross again.

wanted to meet is Maude Adams.

HOLLYWOOD,


1t must have been an unguarded
moment, out there on the set of
Lucky Night" for Robert Taylor
actually got around to the subject
of women-one he almost invariably
sidesteps. But the conversation
drifted toward matters concerning
the other sex-and first thing you
know, Taylor was right in there
pitching! From his casual observa-
tions, the following becomes appar-
ent:
There are seven women Taylor
would like to meet.
There are three women he al
ready has met and would like
very much to meet again.
Six out of that total of 10 are
actresses. Two are writers. One
is concert cellist. The other
is the wife of the President of
the United States.
Ever since he rose to box office
prominence, Taylor has wanted to
play opposite Myrna 10y. In his
current picture he gets that wish.
There are four other actresses
with whom Taylor hopes to appear.
They are Bette Davis, Jean Arthur,
Barbara Stanwyck and Claudette
Colbert. Miss Stanwyck is the only
one of the four with whom he has
teamed previously
Il think every actor in pictures
likes to imagine himself teamed with
Bette Davis says Taylor. After the
record she has made as an actress,
who could help it? But, since we're
working for different studios, the
chances of our appearing together
seem remote. But perhaps if I go
around talking about this wish,
somebody will get an idea and start

As for his desire to meet other

to take your jacket or leave II,
Again you may wear your fur
cape or coat.
Gala Evenings: Everybody
knows that this means decol-
letage and a conventional
evening wrap.
But the question of evening
gloves still puzzles some persons.
II used to be dreadful faux pas
for lady. or gentleman either, to
dance without gloves.
Don't you remember the agon-
les 10 suffered in Little Women"
because she had spoiled her
gloves?
Well. that convention has worn
itself out.
And now we rarely see
evening gloves except at
a wedding or the opera.
or at extremely formal
balls. although some robe
de style evening gowns
need gloves TO compile
ment the costume.
With a dinner suit. naturally,
you would wear black suede or
white kid gloves.
But with an evening wrap You
may quite correctly wear none at
all, or for warmth, short white
kid gloves.
WHAT TO WEAR AT YOUR
OWN PARTY: II you give a tea,
you are supposed to dress more
formally than your guests.
The theory is they will come in
street clothes, probably suits or
tailored dresses.
While you, being ut home.
should he discovered in an
afternoon frock.
The assumption is. you have not
dressed up for your own party.
You simply are wearing your
usual afternoon at-home costume.
For that reason. lot of women
nowadays are receiving in hostess
gowns or housecosts.
But when you give a dinner or
an evening party; when guests
come dressed" you are supposed
to dress less formally than your
own guests to disparage your own
party.
What 10 Wear at Someone
Else's Party: Sometimes your
hostess gives you a clew by
saving "black tie" or white
tie"
Black tie means semi-formality:
dinner dresses with covered decol-
letages or dinner suits, the sort of
thing suggested for restaurant
dining, though here a hat is not
obligatory.
When she says white tie"
you 20 the limit Of formalify.
When she gives you no clew,
underdress rather than ovcrdress
You always will be more COM
Portable.
Envoi: II sll adds up to what
Emerson ssid-"Msnners are not
idle, they are the result of
thought"
Costumes. too, are the
result of taking thought
TO taste. and there's no
accounting for taste ex-
cept on one count. Every
body agrees that taste is
a sense of the fitness of
things. That is your only
limitation.
II you can live up 70 that. you
can express your own individual
taste as much as you like-the
more the better. because that is
what makes you interesting.
