Here's a little about Paulette's
home life. She and Chaplin live in
a Colonial-type house in Beverly

is very feminine. Charles is on
the heavy, leather and mahogany,
masculine side.
Paulette has a huge bed, covered
with a white ermine throw" Her
perfumes fill five shelves. One entire
wardrobe is filled with furs-coats,
capes, minks, sables and what-have-
you. Her umpteen thousand dollar
collection of jewels consists chiefly
of Cabochon rubies, diamond and
ruby bracelets, and emeralds.
When guests are invited. meals
are served on silver-even to silver
goblets. There are five servants. also
a tennis court (only used by Paulette

Paulette has few close women

Though she has been Broadway

Just now adventing into the movies.
It's an advent four years deferred,
for that long ago Universal signed
her to play the title role in "Drac-
ula's Daughter" She arrived, only
to fall i'll and miss the engagement.
"I," said Tamara, "am very lucky.
You see?"
B. P. Schulberg then brought her
west year later, screen tested her,
and:
Told me to go back. I was not

her Hollywood chances and was
preparing to leave her hotel for
