THE _EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON. D. C. TUESDAY. AUGUST 12, 1930. THE CHEERFUL CHERUB HELLO AL, THID 15 MUSHBY. || SO!

HOLLYWOOD, August 12 (NAN.A). Since this is rumoriand de luxe, one may as well settle for once and all the latest fake story. It is a persistent Teport that Janet Gaynor has been Teinstated in favor with tae Fox Cor- ration. Nothing is further from the minds of that unit than a reconciliation with the Jovely Janet Gaynor. Plans are on full tilt to make Maureen O'Sullivan the| fair-haired child in her place, and the Farrell-O'Sullivan team will shortly be launched as the first step in this direction. ‘The busiest person in Hollywood is the rumor-chaser. A good 10 a day are released. Impossible to trace them to their originators. But occasionally when this miracle is effected—the originators of the tale run down, I mean—they blandly deny that they have ever heard of the subject in question. Marlene Dietrich is the German god- dess imported by Paramount to dazzle the world this season. She is said to b: the perfect cross between Jeanne Eagels and Greta arbo, if you are fanciful enough to imagine that. But not being fanciful, or even whimsical, I must admit there is a solidity about the lug" which neither of the others ssed. She has one highly original gesture which is one of the most interesting of the beauty innovations displayed by the local erratics. The Dietrich isn't bothered by eyebrows at all. For luncheons and morning engagements, when all the world is prosy and prac- tical, the Dietrich affects nicely arched brows in quite the conventional man- ner. But come nightfall and the more fantastic costumes, Marlene Dietrich wears a Mephistophelian pair of brows ‘which are and even to some cautious, conventjonal souls rather alarmin; g. But it's new—it's new. And that’s the idea in Hollywood. What I really wanted to say when I began this eyebrow racket is that Mar- lene Dietrich would seem to have ex- clusive command of the time and atten- tion of one of Hollywood's most suc- cessful directors—one Josef von Stern- berg. It's a romance, say the rumor- 1. French realistic novelist. 8. Outer wrap. 10. Lady. . Gem. . Goddesses of the seasons. . And others: Latin abbr. . Glacler ice. . Mexican coins. . Seed cover. .

You are not to say “Buddy” Rogers |any more. Im not guilty. I haven't |been saying it at all. Charles has seemed the only practical title for that hancésome youth, who has a large fol- lowing of ladies of all ages, complexions | and vintages. It would be timely if Jackie Coogan | would mutiny and demand to be called “Jack,” but he hasn't. Since making | Tom Sawyer, childhood has once more enveloped him in its kindly mantle. And, after all, it's only a few months ago that I stood on the lawns at Del onte and saw his parents send him out with the infants on an Easter-egg hunt—to maintain the illusion of child- | hood, I presume. ‘Those same lawns at Del Monte are seeing plenty of the Hollywood con- tingent these days. Jack Pickford is bringing his romance with Mary Mul- |hern to a marital conclusion there. | And there also are Dolores Del Rio and | Cedric Gibbons a-honeymooning. | ‘These days it'’s as great a coup to catch a Lonsdale and affix him to & | studio chariot wheel as it used to be to catch one of the big names in the | music world. M-G-M is so proud of | its Lonsdale acquisition that it is still barking_the message to the colony at |large. It is about the fourth announce- | ment that the English lad will write | exclusively for some one. He held out for royalties, and gelatin royalty con- sidered this lese majeste. I'm betting that he got what he wanted. He cer- tainly knew what he wanted. (Copyright, 1930, by North American News- per Alliance.) Prince’s Carpet Brings $150. A Scotch hand-woven wool carpet which covered the floor of Prince Charles Edward’s bed room at Culloden , where he slept the night before the famous battle, brought only $150 at an auction sale in Glasgow, Scotland, recently. An ancient kail-pot, measur- inches across, which was said to by the Highlaniers on the field of Culloden, was eagerly bid up and went for $70. . Floating wreckage. .
