probably be the firat time four generation! of a star’s family have ever attended a Hollywood preview. Myrna Loy and Greta Garbo have completed an exchange of courtesies. When Myrna moved . into the Garbo dressing room, I while her own was being redeco- ' rated, the Swedish star left instructions for it to be filled with flowers. Now Myrna is moving out and she is leaving a pair of handcarved book-ends fashioned in the Garbo likeness. H. M. Warner, the movie magnate, is doing some building on his ranch at Calabassas. While visiting the property recently, Wari ner’s eye was taken by one of the workmen, a husky six-foot youth named Christian Nyly. Striking up a conversation with the boy, he became more convinced that Nyly was a , film possibility. So he offered the laborer a job acting in westerns. Nyly was appreciative but didn't teem enthusiastic. "What’s the matter, don’t you want to do it?" asked the sur- ! prised executive. "Well, yes,” said the youth, “but the fact of the matter is I never wanted to be an actor. I wanted I to be a film cutter.” Maybe it was amazement at finding somebody who didn't want a screen test. Anyway, Warner gave the kid his wish. Nyly goes to work at Warner’s as an assistant cutter. It’s another one of those breaks that Hollywood occasionally deals □ut. Every motion picture wellknown could tell you of at least one in his or her career. The Dick Arlens have bought a 14-acre ranch near Chatsworth and will move from Tolucca lake after a two-year stay. . . . Just the opposite is planned by Frances Dee and Joel McCrea. They are 1 moving off their ranch and will live in town. . . . Mae West has 1-r-r. sued for copyright Infringe, ment on the famous "Adam ana Eve” skit on the air. It’s the first satin pillow. The bride wore 3 street length frock of rose crepe with black ac- ' cessories. and carried red roses. The bridesmaid wore a blue crepe dress and carried yellow rotes. | I After the ceremony a dinner was I served at the home of the bride’s parents. i The guests were: Miss Celia Mayer and Mr. and Mrs. Vernon Custer of Decatur; Mr. and Mrs. Dode' Smith of Lima; Ohio; Waldo Stettler of Van Wert: Mrs. John Prich- ( 1 ard and daughters Mary Lou, Ardythe Jean, and sons Don. Von, Wilbur and Max; Mrs. W. H. High, Mr. and Mrs. Leland Rose. Mr. and Mrs. Perry Sidle and daughters Treva. Danda and Joan, Mr and Mrs. ®ert Custer and daughter Mary Ellen and son Herbert, Miss Celia Moyer, Miss Nellie Smith. Mr. and Mrs. Walter Mathews, and daughter Ruth. Mr. and Mrs. Gerald Snyder, all of Ohio C<ity. The members of the Sunday School were also pre-, sent. Mr. Custer was graduated from I ' Ohio City Liberty high school in 1 1931 and is employed at the Cen-’ tral Soya company in Decatur. They i wi'l reeide at 325 North Fifth' street, this city. EPERSONALS The snow plows of the state highway commission were out last I night, first time this winter in some j territories.

The Stanwyck-Fay litigation reached the height of something or other in a recent photograph of Fay standing outside the Stanwyck property and peering wistfully up at the wall. Make a note to see "Gold Is Where You Find It” when the War-ner-Coemopolltan color film comes | your way. It's a stirring saga of the fight between the hydraulic miners and the farmers In northern California. The best out-of-doors color yet and some of the year's biggest thrills in the attack on a mine and the blowing up of a dam. Michael Curtiz directed and George Brent, Olivia de Havilland, Claude Rains, etc., are fine. So la Jack Holt's son, Tim. "Gold Is Where You Find It” is more hand-writing on the wall for Hollywood. They can't stall off a general adoption of color much longer. This week, Joy, 11, sat for her first fan photo and the man behind the camera was Clarence Bull. A few years back, at the old Goldwyn studio, Bull also shot the first fan photos of Leatrlce's mother. It was after she made the picture, “Bunty Pulls the Strings" Leatrice wore an organdie dress and carried a bunch of iris. Leatrice Joy, 11. who makes her bid for fame in "Benefits Forgot", posed for Photographer Bull in a riding habit. Dolores Del Rio will descend on I Africa with 12 trunks of clothes.

It absorbs moisture and softens like a sponge. This water-sof-tened mass aids elimination. At the same time It improves intestinal tone because Kellogg's All-Bran contains the intestinal tonic vitamin 8,. Eat All-Bran as a cereal or baked in muffins. And drink plenty of water.
