! A MISS THE DARK THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, MOVIES AND MOVIE PEOPLE BY MOLLIE MERRICK. HOLLYWOOD, May 3 (NAN.A)—| | Estelle Taylor, prominent about the colony of late, “Liliom.” | There has been much talk of Estelle| Taylor's singing voice. She tried it out| vaudevilling, the best means of seeing| “what have you?" The elect were of the opinion that she would make her | debut in talkies in a role which called | for much song, but no “chunes” are to| be called into this picture, where none were intended, it seems. So the Taylor singing will have to wait. A restless, dark-eyed creature, this actress has given some unforgettable | portrayals to the silent screen. Her venture into the legitimate was riot crowned with success. 1 understand | she was persuaded into it against her! intuition. She has a grim determination and a certain resiliency which is good career material. If she makes up her mind to work in talkies, she will most probably carve out a way for herself. According to0" Hollywood, the big break for Estelle Taylor has always been just around the corner. Paul Whiteman may open a sidewalk cafe in the village. It would be a charming Continental touch on our main street. We have the people who | have enjoyed such things on their| European trips, we have the money, but scarcely the leisure for the dawdling which sidewalk eating almost demands. | ‘The Whiteman band would be a fea- ture of it, and the warm Summer nights offer the perfect setting. Several weeks ago. just prior to her departure for the “Met,” Mary Lewis laughingly talked this little matter over with Seena Owen. | ‘The rotund Paul is evidently taking it more seriously. Mayday luncheons were the things | Thursday. Even the seldom-seen Gloria | Swanson abandoned the studio to en-| tertain asparty at the Embassy Club. Her narrow face, with its chrome yellow tint, is the center of all ob-| servers when she ‘enters the room. Smartly done in oxford gray, with silver fox and tight little black felt hat, she seemed more of New York than Holly- | comes into her own| talking in the role of Mrs. Muscat in| | topped the harmony. | the most stunning types the motion wood town. Laura Hope. Crews, fast becoming a power in motion picture production, was one of the guests. And Aileen Pringle, her blond hair suavely winged beneath a rust-colored felt, wore a tweed suit on which red foxes were used in number. The rust-color motif crept in again| at a nearby table where Bessie Love and Carmel Myers were lunching. The little Love, very formal in bottle-green cloth and tiny eared turban of tweed material, is gay and animated these days. & Carmel Myers wore a rust-colored felt hat and a tweed tailleur in which| chocolate color prevailed. Kay Francis is exceedingly tall for a, movie girl. Her smart little bolero coat of dull-green crepe revealed the slimest waist in the village. rippled pleasantly somewhere between knee and ankle.

And lest you think the literatti are being ignored, one found Louis Brom- field, Frederick Lonsdale, Sidney How- ard and Arthur Hornblow munching a bit of Maytime lettuce in the cool green purlieus of the Embassy. Lonsdale, by the way, has shipped his horror of movies. He has signed to re- main here for two years, and even now is embarked on the writing of a talkie for Ronald Colman. I wonder what could have persuaded him. Surely not money! (Copyright. 1930. by North American News- paper Alliance.) Chewing Gum Irish “Sticker.” The Irish Free State, land of rebel- lion and the shillelah, now is confronted with the increasing menace of gum chewing, and high officials are worried. Whether it is demoralizing and injuri- ous to public health, was a question re- cently put to the Irish Free State min- ister for local government in the Dail by Dr. Hennessy, who also asked if the minister would introduce _legislation prohibiting the sale of chewing gum in shops and slot machines. The minister has not answered the questions so far.‘ Daily Cross-Word Puzzle . Motion; music. 5. Chosen part. . Curved nail. . Footless animal. 5. Mother; Latin. . Single. . Naught. .
