the guests and it was one of Hollywood’s gayest parties. The 15-acre orange ranch that Sally Rand bought near Glendora was for her mother all the time. She gave her the deed to it on Christmas morning and the family had their turkey dinner there. The ranch is within a mile and a half from the house where the star’s mother, Mrs. E. Kissling, has made her home for several years. Funniest of the Hollywood feuds is between Mack Gray, “The Killer,” and “Cracker” Henderson on the Paramount lot Each is devoted to Carole Lombard and is openly jealous over any attention she may pay to the other. On Christmas, Carole gave Mack a red cigaret case with an inscription on the underside of the lid: “To the ‘Killer’ from Carole.” But she also gave a black cigaret case to “Cracker” with a similar inscription. Now “The Killer" wants to know how much it will cost to send “Cracker” back to Georgia. QUICK GLIMPSES: The sleekly handsome Jack I-a Rue, who gets about to all the places, now pays court to the Countess Rina Di Liguro, whom you may remember as the heroine of “Quo Vadis” back in the silent days.
