Hollywood Sights And Sounds By Robbin Coons. - HOLLYWOOD, Cal., March 4.—There’s nothing to bring out the boys with the notebooks like the promise of Dignity taking a Tumble for the cameras. So it was that a goodly throng of us assembled, the other bright sunny day, around the swimming pool of Pasadena's Visto del Arroya Hotel for an event that will go down in the archives as the Dunking of Dunne. Miss Dunne, as heroine of “My Favorite Wife,” was to engage in poolside-table repartee with Cary Grant and Randolph Scott, her two admirers, before stepping back and tripping into the considerately warmed waters. Irene, for the occasion, looked lovely —in her smart grey dress trimmed in black, her jaunty fur hat with matching fur muff, her shining red-gold coiffure on which every hair was sleekly in place. There was a scene to do first, of course—the business of the repartee. The business dragged on and the sun got lower and lower, and with it our hopes. Miss Dunne, between takes, looked over at our “gallery” and smiled—gamely, I thought, with a bit of we-who-are-about-to-die in it. Well, the sun got lower, the light changed, and they postponed the dunking until the next day. We wuz robbed. ¢ ‘We wuz robbed, but we had our memories: Joyous, soul-satisfying, slightly sadistic memories of put' pleasures of the sort. We could recall that memorable Dietrich- Una Merkel tussle for “Destry Rides Again.” There was some- thing extra-special about that one, because Mar-lay-nah was ever Nh' reception charming heste: ss glve thoughtful gue: who pring gifts of deiiciows Van Duyn Candies., Little attentions make you & ®"must come" guest.

When Dietrich and Una socked and wrestled and tore at each other, they made history When James Stewart settled the fight by dousing the pair with water, it was history A LA MODE. It was not so much fun, although pleasant enough, wheén Alice F: was made the target of assorted pastries for “Holly- wood Cavalcade.” Perhaps the dimmer on satisfaction was the knowledge that Alice never had been photographed behind veils fish-nets, and that Alice never had been a remote movie and goddess. temporarily gone serious in her work for for a while there was queen of slapstick. Carole Lombard, “Vigil in the North,” Glamour never looked more badraggled than Lombard’s bid after those dunking sequences in “Nothing Sacred.” Dietrich and “Destry.” Gladys Swarthout was heroine of another Dethronment of Dignity. There was an opera star, pretty and charming, and the script called for her to be bombarded with over-ripe tomatoes. It was a shame, too. After Gladys took the tomatoes, and nobly, they cut the sequence out. Maybe if they'd left is in— and shown the public, too, that she was game—Gladys might still be here There is something extremely humanizing about such scenes. Irene Dunne knows it. The Dunking of Dunne wouldn’t be in there if Trene didn't like it. That is, until
