For instance, in London recently she described her new fiante—a cer- | tain “middle-aged British statesman, | a former member of Parliament, en- ormously wealthy—you'll be amazed when you find out who it is, in about | two weeks.” CHANGED HER MIND Hollywood, scene of Pola’s former . riumphs and failures, prepared itself to be amazed, and none the less zhegked back on Pola’s last engage- nent announcement. On February 1932, in Chicago, Pola told the | man (“but his name is a secret”) who was then “wintering at his es- tate at Montecito, Calif.” He was ‘comeone everyone looks up to and | admires.” Three months later, in| Cleveland, Pola set the date “in July | or August” but stil did not reveal the/ name. What happened then? Well, | Pola must have changed her mind. | Changing her mind has been Pola’s | prerogative—and custom—evdr since she blazed into film fame in the Ger- man film, “Passion,” and was brought | to Hollywood, in 1922, as reward.| Matrimonially, she already had| changed her mind once. She had divorced her first hushand, Count Eugene Dombski, a garrison com- | mander on.the Russian border. In Hollywoogd, where her films scarcely | lived up to the promise of her Eur- | opean successes, her romances with | various film figures were noted eag- | erly, At one time it was Charles Chaplin to whom she was reported engaged, | at another it was Rudolph Valentino, | and when the Latin idol died in New York after a brief sudden illness, the| Polish star’s spectacle of grief was| one long to be remembered. But it was Prince Serge Midivani —of the “marryin’ Midivanis"— | whom she married in Paris in 1927, | ap a great and princely wedding. Two | years later, in Paris, Pola’s flair for | the dramatic asserted itself in the very hall of justice where she had | gone, to_secure a divorce. She and| Serge, meeting in the . courtroom, embraced, kissed and made up —and the reconciliation lasted a year, when | Pola finally called a halt and got a | decree.
