THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C. —_— OMENTOUS ERRORS. UNABLE TO PROCEED OR RETREAT ~ THE MAN WHO STARTED <TO "RUN UNDER® HIS BEST GIRL MOVIES AND MOVIE PEOPLE | BY MOLLIE HOLLYWOOD, July 9 (N.AN.A).—have been writing about this coast of Hollywood may be full of “yessing,” but | 1t seems Vivian Duncan said “No.” | Anyway, from her retirement in the | Hollywood Hospital the blond member of the team denies furiously that she is going to drop her suit against Rex Lease, the boy who tried caveman tac- tics when other persuasions failed. ‘The lads who went to work so man- fully Monday morning to shush the entire thing up and make serene the + ways of celluloid once more may sight a victory in Vivian Duncan's admission that she may ask a delay of the case, cited for hearing at Maiibu Thursday morning. Something happened in the scuffie to cause Vivian Duncan to believe that another nose operation may be neces- sary for her. Rex Lease is supposed to have a lot of punch in pictures. Ac- cording to the Duncans, he doesn't| keep his technique entirely for the screen. | The disagreement which had such a &mashing conclusion followed & quiet little supper at Charles Farrell's Malibu | Beach house. The little Duncan dropped in .nerely to talk about buying | a boat, or a lot, or something. And Rex | Lease and Charles Farrow (the scenar- | ist) came after her. If & few sparkling preliminaries were staged for Charlie Farrell’s guests, who happened to be his mother, Virginia | Valli and the Lawrence Tibbetts, the main round occurred at Farrow's house. To drift into any Hollywood party is to “travel in the path of ancient wars,” | to paraphrase Stevenson.

Our comedians still continue to hold | down the local courts. Harry Langdon won his case in the Thomas J. O'Brien suit, but even as his friends in the colony gathered around to celebrate the victory the ex-husband of Mrs. Langdon is preparing to ask a new trial in the $250,000 alienation of affections suit. Lloyd Hamilton says comedians do not make enough these days to pay the| sort of alimony his divorced wife ex- pects. In September this will be taken into consideration. Meanwhile Hamil- ton, whose professional way has no been too rosy since the advent of talkies, can do his best. Harold Lloyd, a little, quiet man, whom few in the court room recognize, watches his lawyers and gagmen play time-honored process of making a movie comedy. Minus his glasses and far older than most people believe him to be, Lloyd has no fear of recognition from court room visitors. They crowd the hall- ways leading to the court where the million-dollar suit of H. C. ‘Witwer’s widow is being battled to the last funny phrase. But they may have the chair next Lloyd and not know it. Meanwhile the picture, “Feet First,” on which Lloyd is working, is being held up at the cost of about $2,500 a day to the comedian. CIliff Edwards got his nose into court last week. Just a divorce, but enough to insure his being in vogue with our best laughmakers. Some one is -dvm(;lng, “Ringtail cat, with them today.
