MOVIES AND MOVIE PEOPLE BY MOLLIE HOLLYWOOD, 11 (N.AAN.A).—The daily divorce of the village falls to the lot of the Ernst Lubitsch family this time. Helene Lubitsch, one of the beauties of the col- ony, tells a judge that her director-hus- band scolded and nagged her and in- | sulted their guests. Ernst Lubitsch is the most able di- rector of talkie pictures at work in Hollywood today. He holds that title by reason of the number of actors and actresses who are willing to cut their salaries to get into & Lubitsch picture— “Because you learn so much working with him.” What better reason coul one find for crowning & director the ace of his eraft? Lubitsch came to Hollywood from Germany. He has had the background of experience which & theatrical ca- Teer in a foreign country can give: he has played comedy roles, and tragedy as the needs of a small German com- pany demanded. He has the lightest touch of any man writing in celluloid. The most delicate sophistication. The clearest vision of what the talkie may come to mean. But it seems that the life of a suc- eessful director with its preoccupations and its intense drive is not compatible with the career of & successful husband. Helene Lubitsch, who used to one of the brunette beauties of the cinema mlp. ‘went blond about & year ago and successfully taken pulchritudinal rank in her new type. Changing the personality is one of the favorite re- sources of Hollywood ladies who find time Mnf heavily on their hands. A brunette lady who goes “titian” or “plond” finds the scheme of things tak- ing.on another angle. Why not? She acquires & new set of admirers, for one Calif, June thing. All the genties who prefer them fair flock about her. But in the col- ony change of coloring is beginning THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. ¢, THURSDAY, JUNE 12, 1930.

One may find them down in the press ts with their noses pointing ceiling- rd from directly under the ring. Beatrice Lillie, “Lady Peel,” the “bee" of Hollywood, was a bizarre figure at last night's bouts. She wore & mustard yel- low sweater, topcoat of poisonous blue flannel and a ‘mustard yellow beret. ‘When she entered, a trifie late, the attention of the audience was riveted on her. Her small, slim figure had the color quality of a college pennant, Bob Ames escorted the English comedienne. Edmund Goulding was there in the front row. And directly across from him, contributing some healthy bari- tone shouts to the prevailing excitement, was Lawrence Tibbett. “Bean him, old man" came in loud culture from Basil Rathbone who was ‘well down in the prize seats. And Ouida Bergere's little fists were following the progress of the battle. Paul Muni, the famous young actor whose character portrayals have him unique in the world of the the seemed to be getting & student’s pl ure out of the proceeding rather than a sportsman’s thrill. There were some rare anthropoidal types, if the Muni had thought of adding to his gallery of grotesques. Henry Daniel, the remote English actor who played opposite Ina Claire in her talkie venture, appeared far less cool than at any moment the. stage has given us. A Jimmie Gleason and Bob Armstrong are another two of the colony who are fight devotees, Zazu Pitts’ husband, Tom Gallery, runs the village fights and if visitors to Hollywood but knew it, here is the place to find the famous —not by standing on the street corners or haunting the popular cafes.
