The latter, whose name appears over a real estate office a few doors from Jackie Coogan’s business headquarters, cleaned up more than $1,000,000 on beach frontage before others realized its value. Bebe quietly accumulated some sizable tracts, erected Spanish cot- tages, furnished them and sold them rofit. In addition, she owns a headlight factory in the East and a costume-designing shop on the boule- vard, operated by her former studio modiste. If all the real estate Ruth Roland has bought and sold were assembled in one tract it would cover New England.

Hedda Hopper, during a Tull in en- gagements when talkies came in, went out and herself a job selling real estate.
