He »Tid hiss wifA *nd small son, Jean, junr., are giving a purely Old Country party, all movieland Danes being invited to partake of Danish food. Reginald Denny planned a sort of a snow carnival and house party up at his cabin in the San Bernardino mountains. Her Own Cake! Louise Fazenda, who always makes a great occasion of Christmas, is spending the festival with her new husband, Hall Wallis, his mother and sisters* her mother and father, all grouped about the groaning board, which always bears fruitcake made by Louise herself. Irene Rich is happy in her first Christmas Day in her new home on Wilshire Boulevard with her husband, D. F. Blankenhorn, her daughters, Jane' and Frances, and her mother. Ramon Novarro is celebrating the glad day with a Spanish fiesta at his home, to which he has invited many Latin friends. He will present a historical playlet within his miniature theatre, and puppet show with his favourite marionettes. Jaime del Rio’s yule gift to his celebrated wife was a gold dinner service which he ordered from Paris. Mr. and Mrs. Wallace Beery have a feast of a deer that Wallace i killed, for their day’s feature. Raymond Hatton, Mrs. Hatton, Louise Brooks, and Eddie Sutherland, her husband, dine with the Beery’s.

Margaret Livingston has several children of her dead sister’s, who will pass the season with her. • Friendship’s Ties Jack Dempsey and Estelle Taylor spend every Christmas Eve with Jeanie MacPherson and her mother. The friendship has lasted ever since the days when Estelle and Jeanie and De Mille all worked together on “The Ten Commandments.” Norma Shearer and her new husband, Irving Thalberg, are going to Lake Arrowhead for the day. Jack Holt, Adolphe Menjou and Larry Semon pronounce themselves three hardboiled eggs who will spend the day playing golf. Larry Semon has a snappy sedan all ordered for his wife, Dorothy Dwan. Olive Borden plans a dinner party with friends. Charley Farrell, far away from his Cape Cod family, prefers a solitary Christmas, with canned beans in his shack at the beach. Charley is perhaps the most unspoiled of all the young fellows who have been tilted into a place in the movie sun in the year just closing. No 14,000 dollar roadsters on the bankrupting instalment plan for him.
