they entered the house and betrayed nervousness by taking off her coat, then putting it hack on again. “I am scared to death,” she told me. Which is what she has been saying ever since they gave her the role of Dianne. Asked her personal opinion of the film, she replied: “I think Director Henry King did a brilliant job.” Most of the Hollywood newspaper people thought the same. ’•Seventh Heaven" has a strong sentimental appeal, just as it did when Fox made it in 1927 with Janet Gaynor and Charles Farrell playing Dianne and Chico It is more James Stewart’s picture than it is Simone’s. His performance was regarded by many as superior even to the memory-hallowed one of Farrell. Janet Gaynor, on the other hand, remains enshrined as Dianne. Not that Simone is not good, for she is. But the spiritual transformation as portrayed by Miss Gaynor was more luminous. Or so it appeared to me. Controversy on this picture is inevitable. And that is another reason why "Seventh Heaven” will probably bring a flood of dollars to Twentieth Century-Fox. Accustomed as it is to friendly divorces, Hollywood was amused the other night at the Trocadero to see Ruth and Edgar Selwyn appear together only a few hours after he had Men served with her divorce papers. The next night they met again at the same place. This time her escort was Captain Darcy Rutherford, but Selywn dropped over to the table for a chat.

i of two families for a number of 1 years. It shows the gradual broadening of their minds along religious and social lines. "There was the strong authority of the church with ull iiuestlons being brought to the session meetings. There was little of mercy but al ways fear of God held up to the people at all times. They were a fine sincere people, strict In their judgmenta yet in spite of this the human characteristics were there —the longing for pretty clothes, the secret wish to dance at the parties, the great love for an only brother, the ’ jealousy of advantage one family ' had over another —all were clearly shown. "There came to those families joy 'and sorrow, birth and death, disappointment and pride. Through It all the tight reign of the "session" held with the older generation and was loosened with the younger. Through the story rune a pretty romance which was greatly enjoyed.” The next meeting will ibe held with Mrs. L A. Cowens, with Mrs L A. Graham as leader.

But James Dunn is the first film colony resident to consult an architect about building a home that can be hermetically sealed in case of gas attacks. Dunn borrowed the idea from England—has been assured that for a small extra expense he can have three rooms in his new home built so they can be made gas-proof on short notice.

• • Miriam Hopkins says: "My throat welcomes Luckies—my favorite ® cigarette for 5 years” H Luckies have been my favorite cigarette for about 5 years. They’re a light smoke that sensitive throats welcome. Os the many trends that sweep through Holly* wood, one of the longest lasting has been the preference for Luckies. I once asked a ’property* man—who supplies cigarettes to the actors—what the favorite is. He answered by opening up a box containing cigarettes. They were all Luckies.” STAR OF THE RKO RADIO PICTURE "THE WOMAN I LOVE” n independent survey was made recently » among professional men and women—lawyers, . doctors, lecturers, scientists, etc. Os those who said they smoke cigarettes, more than 87% stated they Jy J K personally prefer a light smoke. Miss Hopkins verifies the wisdom of this pref* erence, and so do other leading artists of the radio, stage, screen and opera. Their voices are their fortunes. That’s why so many of them smoke Luckies.
