Mention of the word party brings to Ouida Bergère's baby brown eyes a weird, predaceous glitter. Ouida Bergère (nee Ida Berger) is chubby, red-headed Mrs. Basil Rathbone. Once something of a scriptress, for seven years she was head of Paramount's scenario department. Now, with her tall, dark, talented, professionally sinister, personally amiable cinemactor husband she inhabits an overstuffed stronghold in Hollywood's fashionable Bel Air quarter. There she contrives her parties. They are said to begin as a fulmination of her blood, a bounding along the veins, which eventually detonates...
