The English actress 1 left London so hurriedly to accom- ’ pany Lady Ashley and Douglas J Fairbanks on their yachting trip aa year ago that she had to give in-' structions for her six trunks to be j ’ shipped on to her.

George Cukor’s car wouldn’t ' start the other morning, so he bor--1 rowed his butler’s, a machine of 1 ancient vintage. He parked It on the M. G. M. lot, and somehow or ' other, the old 1920 model found Its : way to the “San Francisco" stage where walls were tumbled on it until ’ nothing but a wheel and a high fender were showing. ■ Cukor rode home in a studio car 1 that night and hla butler now has ' a new machine.
