the face of a yawning wave or

HOLLYWOOD. Aug. 2.
COME years ago a Hollywood
~ wag turned from his news
paper and chirped:
II see by the papers that HOl-
lywoOd's party stock company
tossed another party last Satur-
day night"
hough the expression
party stock company" neither
embraced all the personalities of
the film colony nor all the as
poets of social FINLAND, we have
always found il clarifing to con-
slider the local scene in that
light.
For even though Hollywood
has never had a definitely desig-
mated 400" or a permanent
social register, it has always had
a convivial group of party
Swappers, so TO speak. Like a
theatrical stock company, its
cast is ever changing and
through the years of our Holly
wood hobnobbing we have seen
its leading PLAYERS come and 60.

Repercussions

I wish l had been doing some
thing else the Sunday | asked
the fans. in my interview with
Rise Stevens, if they would ac-
cept a new girl for Nelson Eddy.
The MacDonald-Eddy fans, pro
and con, have written. tele-
graphed and even called long
distance 10 express their views
in no uncertain terms.
If any one thinks the Jeanette
Nelson movie dueting is a dead
issue they should have lived my
life last week. The rabid fans
of these two outnumbeTed those
who want them parted from
time TO time, but Andrew Cohn
has this TO say:
IF YOU are asking me, I'd like
to say, that a. one tired movie
goer I'd accept any new girl
friend for the boy friend and
any new boy friends for the girl
friends"

Ona Brown Took Lead

At one time Ona Brown. the

director, Clarence Brown, as
Sumed the leading role, and
simply reveled in it. That was
during the late lush twenties
and the early thirtieS.
For although the rest OF the
country was laid low by the
crash of 1929. Hollywood didn't
really feel the blow until a few
years later-probably- because,
while the sale of yachts went TO
zero. there were still plenty of
those who had the price of
movie ticket and thereby sought
brief escape from their financial
worries
At any rate, the first requisite
in playing the leading role in
cinema society is lively gusto
for conviviality. Therein Ona
was indeed blessed. For she sim
ply "adored parties" In fact. at
one time upon her return from
a European Sojourn, some one
asked her what she thought of
Paris.

IL went to IA party every night.
But, pshaw. 1 can go TO six par

The week"
The picture colony was so
opulent and gay in those happy
days and ecStatic nights that its
social calendar was packed
tight with events of high revel-
ing. New night spots and

beach clubs bloSSomed out like
a strawberry rash.

will be not one, but two picturi-
