...best of the worst will ensue. Every time hubby is on the point of explaining all, some one knocks at the door. Hugh Wakefield cleverly stutters, gasps, grimaces, after the established manner of approved farce-comedy spouses. Pretty Marion Coakley contributes a vivid piece of work as the unextinguished Hollywood flame in Room 1912. All this is something of a disappointment to theatregoers who remember a previous play of Martin Flavin's, Children Of The Moon. Yet it is as good as the average farce, and cleverly executed from the box-office point of view...
Maria Guglielmi, sister of the late Rudolph Valentino: "My brother left an estate of more than $1,000,000 which will be divided equally between myself, my other brother, Alberto, who is now in Hollywood, and the aunt of Winifred Shaughnessy Hudnut, Mrs. Teresa Werner, who took such motherly care of Rudolph after Winifred had divorced him last year. Winifred (also known professionally as Natacha Rambova) was bequeathed the sum of $1.

The "slacker" talk helped to make him disliked; it was abetted by many other things, the fact that he married a moving picture star and thereby enrolled himself among the dilettantes of Hollywood; the fact that he acted in sentimental cinemas; and above all the fact that he did not want to fight Negro Harry Wills have all weighed against him. Furthermore, Dempsey is a lowbrow. His grammar is gummy at the edges; he reads The Czar's Spy, by William Le Queux...
...himself when the Davis Cup matches and national championship come along." Some said he was clowning too much, his tournament intensity dissipated by other interests. Others said: "Never think it. Will Tilden is a man of 43; his follies are over, even if he does eat flapjacks at Hollywood now and then. Tennis is his game, his life. He'll not be 'through' for many a moon." Wills-Browne. The fresh-healed threat in Helen Wills' right side-her appendix scar-softened last week and put her adulators at their ease. Her match in the final...
