When the Worm Turns. l —By Burtis S8 The 7, i It Rivhes Buived MOVIES AND MOVIE PEOPLE BY MOLLIE MERRICK. HOLLYWOOD, May 14 (NAN.A).— Colleen Moore, queen of flappers, high jestess of jazz and exponent of flam- youth, has always been surrounded by admirers and adorers; that is, on the screen. At home it seems that she played quite a different role—that of the neg- lected wife. For such was the testimony on which she received an interlocutory decree of divorce from John E. McCormick yes- terday. Miss Moore stated that she could not have guests in her home, and had fre- quently been embarrassed by her hus- band’s disposition and bed temper. Furthermore, he had the rather an- noying habit of inviting her to the theater, buying tickets, and then for- @getting all about it. The McCormicks were married on August 18, 1923, and separated last March. Which is almost a record in Holly- ‘wood.

The lot &uum work overtime keeping stu ‘hang- abouts off the premises. Boudoirs smell like the most expen- g 1 have quoted this bodily from the earnest gentie who told me all this. Parfums nuit is, I think, a divine Hollywocden explana- tion of this situation. Conservatories must have the hot and musty smell of those glassed-in places where exotic flowers bloom. Kitchens are sprayed with garlic, just to make things comfy. “Billets in France,” says my infor- mant, “must be as much like barnyards as possible.” when Bebe Daniels was making & ral elaborate scene in her recent talkie with the locale set in a Southern dras room the odor of mint juleps was be had during all times on the set. ‘The mint juleps ‘were non-alcoholic, 1t seems; the fragrance to rouse the subconscious in the rers’ minds and render them more t in their And Shakespeare said silly things about & “rose” and “any other name.” He should have come to Hollywood!
