Mrs. Thomas Ince and Holmes Her- bert are sho the sort of interest in each other which invariably ends in the altarward march. ‘The English actor-chapple will be remembered as having played an unusu- ally fine role in one of the first talkie hits of last year, “Madame X.” He has been popular with the feminine element in the colony, but this time such de- lightful domesticity as planting bulbs in the gardens of the lady fair is more & sign of her conquest than an indica- tion that Spring is here, according to the wise ones. Mrs. Ince is the widow of ome of Hollywood's foremost producers, who met death on his yacht several years 8go. She is owner of two of the col- ony’s largest apartment hotels. Mary Pickford, celebrating her birth- day anniversary, doesn’t neglect story conferences. The former Gladys Smith has always taken an active part in selection of material and staff. This time, playing the role of a woman who 4 seen in youth, middle age and old age, she is more than wary to have everything just right. { Marshall Neilan will direct her.

The skirt, quite full at the bottom, is fitted snugly about the Bennett's slim hips, and the little hip-length cost has for its only trimming insets of pleated taffeta. Add to the picture one of those funny little Bankok hats which looks as if ragged at the edge with the thumb nail, in the same shade as the suit. There 18 a nonchalance about this type of bonnet which takes from the trim- edged severity one expects in more for- mal cities. Hollywe is in Spring and Summer a most informal place. Sports frocks alone seem to meet the mode dictated by the weather. Ladies try now and again to “go city” and wear their furs in Winter. But more often than not it is a sorry spec- tacle with the red-faced follower of chic defying an active sun. If Karl Dane will have a baby-blue bedroom, there's nothing to prevent one's mentioning it. Greta Garbo has taken seriously to the monkey provided !as a “prop” for her most recent pic- | ture, and may be seen in idle moments | with the pet on her shoulder. Charlie Bickford used to be a motorman in Boston, and once upon a time in the | long ago the metculous Conrad Nagel | was a soda jerm. W. 8. Van Dyke brought the Swahili warriors back from Africa to finish some studio shots of “Trader Horn.” The So-and-So rang me up and told me the ' other night he took Mutea and Riano story was just what they wanted. “Well, we had a conference, and we decided that we couldn't afford to pay 88 expensive an artist as Mr. Rogers mdrd"l:‘!n cover him all up with a beard. ‘The hero played the role of Santa to the prize hts.
