Marlene Dietrich arrived at “The
Country Doctor” preview with her
daughter Maria, now as tali as she,,
and with the usual bodyguard, but
the crowd didn’t immediately figure
out who the other little girl in the
party was. Then someone recognized
her as John Gilbert’s youngster and
there was a rush of photographers.
Negotiations still go on between
Marlene and Paramount, but the star
was in the other day to have pass-
port photographs made (one lot
she'll not have retouched, for the
government won't allow it). New
York shops also are holding several
) dozen outfits with the idea that the
actress will pick them up on her
way to Europe. Travis Banton, with-
out whose advice Marlene won't
make a fashion move, picked out the
clothes while he was in the east.

“When were you married?” in-
quired Dad.
“On October 18th, in Reno."
“In Reno? How did you happen
to go there?”
Brace looked a bit ashamed but
also defiant aa he an-werod, “Well,
I couldn't seem to make Connie un-

not a success. I didn't want to tell
her about Bernice; I felt no woman
would underotand what aho meant

losing her waa maddening. She
