HOLLYWOOD, May 1 (N.AAN.A)— Hollywood, the gilded, makes a return to simplicity in one of the biggest wed- dings of its season. Organdy frocks, the habiliments of village belles these many, many years, were worn by the wedding party of| Irene Mayer at her marriage to David| ©O. Selznick Tuesday evening. Our motion pictures are made with no regard to money. The frocks of bridal parties cost fortunes for a single fling before the cameras. Society scenes filmed by great direc- tors are glittery with sequins, heavy with cloth of gold or silver, or lit with the suave sheen of satin. - Ermine and chinchilla and sable- swathe the slim off with a veil of duchesse lace, and carried a shower of white orchids. Richard Dix is one of those gods of ;hedsflent regime who have found talkies ind. One hundred and twenty-five thou- sand dollars, paid for the story which he will next make, shows that this he- man of the old days is still in favor with the public and with the genties who cater to the public taste. ‘The story is “Cimarron,” Edna Fer- | ber's tale of the opening of Oklahoma ‘Territory. Yancey Cravat, the hero of the book, is an intriguing character for movie purposes. He is colorful, exag- gerated sufficiently to make any actor- |man long to portray him, and full of | sympathetic appeal fot the audience.

Edith Mayer Goetz, maid of honor, wore a lettuce-green organdy frock and carried an armful of yellow roses. Frocks such as these and such sim- plicity as this were a characteristic of David Wark Griffith in"his early movie days. He capitalized the charm of sim- ple adornment. But at that time no producer’s daughter would be found in anything so quietly charming as an organdy frock. ‘The bride departed from the organdy precedent. She wore white satin in the conventional empire fashion, topped it Motion picture people do not bother much with the spirits. They like to have their fortunes told. They are a bit superstitious and given heavily to such fads as numerology—if, indeed, it comes under such a head. They like to know their lucky days, are devotees of the horoscope, but have little time for long evenings with the table-tappers, ghost-rapping and other entertainments of the more leisurely. For years Von Stroheim would not direct a picture unless he had a hunch- back on the set for good luck. Other stars have always had dwarfs in their casts to bring them fortune. Beginning a picture on a Friday is a favorite trick of directors. But the exigencies of a busy village kill all these established superstitions one by on DON'T BOTHER MAILING THE LETTER| ~I'D MUCH RATHER HEAR YoU SRAY (T WITH YoUR OWN PRETTY & 22777 SHEnR, 3 WON'T HRNE YoU BUT MOTHER, BEING SEEN (N THE COMPRNY THE JUDGE s OF THAT OLD MAN' R PERFECT €EsPeciaLLY AT A BALL = GENTLEMAN — PEOPLE WOULD TALK!

A great deal of interest has been manifested in a breed of wingless and clawless chickens which is being devel- oped by a doctor of Omaha, Nebr. This experimenter started several years ago with a hen which was regarded as a freak because of the diminutive size of her wings and the almost total absence of claws. From this bird the doctor has raised several generations, with the result that the wings and claws have | almost disappeared. The advantages of | this is that the birds do not fly over ! the fence and they do not dig up the | garden in their search for food and at | the same time they show a tendency to % better egg producers, .
