' HOLLYWOOD, June 26 (N.AN.A) Where are the stars of yesterye: Bome of them are legding gay civilian lives and looking quite as pretty and as smart and as youthful, I might add, as the stars of today. May Allison “returned to the village Yor her annual visit, and held her own with any of the gay young things who had to be pointed out to her at the Embassy. . Somehow the new crop of stars lack the vitality and the quality which marked the favorites of past years; that is, among the ingenue group. Among the more serious dramgtic types the screen has never had such worth-while mwtuuues as since the advent of| Despite the fact that most of the Eom and stage world were to be impsed at the club, May Allison was more interested in Mae Murray’'s en- trance than in any woman present. Mae Murray, triumphant survivor of & score of lawsuits—she sues with the seasons, it would seem—made an im- pressive entrance in one of the black- and-white costumes which she has so largely featured. Honey-colored hair, milk-white skin, and the roundly slim figure which has been her greatest asset through the years are still there in per- fection. ‘The Princess Mdivani has a persistent lt“hfor the public which age does not er.

[ And three loud cheers for her! | Louis Bromfield finds the time-clock |tactics of the village not compatible with | his writing temperament. I've often wondered how men of let- ters survived the pressure of studio | creation. They arrive on the lot around 19 o'clock, and they work until luncheon | time—work varied by conferences which | way or may not add to the gayety of the | mental state. Then back from luncheon | to turn out brilliant plots and sparkling | dialogue until 5 o'clock. | Of aourse, these lads are getting sums | for this work beyond anything of which | they dreamed, even in their wild castle- | in-the-airish youth. | Louis Bromfield in the vil lived |in the state which is con sacro- sanct to the millionaire class in other cities. He had a colonial home with a | block of gardens in Beverly Hills, chauf- !feul’s and butlers and Prench chef—the | sort of thing we rarely associate with the writing men of quality. For quality in letters doesn't always pay. But he found, for all this luxury at |home, the demands of studio existence rather sordid and commercial. ~Nor could he turn out tales on demand. So he will write his next, we are told, from the safe distance of La Belle Prance. If this comes true, he may still Hollywooden prices without Hol en tactics, 4 A lady in the village was pointed out the other day as “the original Madame B e Voriginal?” queried of her “The original?” one rivals brightly. i/ “Yes.
