Famed but Anonymous Film Celebrity King Feature Synilirnte, Ine. upyrihl. VJM HOLLYWOOD It gives me a hangover just to think of all the Hollywood parties I've been to. Unfortunately, I wasn't out here in time to sam ple those mara thon soirees that the late billy Camp used to give in the old days when Jack Pickford, Lew Cody, Ma bel Norm and and Norman Kerry were in their prime. But I haven't turned down many invita tions since I've been in the field and it's been a lark. What are the outstanding par ties I recall ? Well, the No. 1 feat of personal entertaining was con Snbuted by Charlie Chaplin. He took the floor, alone, up in his big house, and he put on a show so fascinating that Winston Churchill sat on the rug from shortly be fore midnight until 5 o'clock in the morning just watching and laugh- ing.' That was In the days when Char Vie put himself out to be charming. Now he has gone serious on us and is a bit of a bore. Elinor Glynn's Big Parties I used to like to go to Elinor Glynn's parties. We'd be Invited up to her Oriental suite at the Ambassador to have cocktails. Then we'd go down in the Cocoa nut Grove and sit in the end of the room near the waterfall. Sort of a party within a party. Did you know there is a separate dance floor at that end of the room which can be blocked off for the use of a private group? Natacha Rambova and Rudolph Valentino used to be a wonderful hostess and host. The parties at Pickfair, of course, are a legend. I'll never forget the time when Mary was 1 entertaining the King of Slam. One of the greatest stars (she laughs as much as anybody else at the story) came in late. He waa what idie thought waa a well groomed ftouse boy and handed him her coat. It was the king. And the incident so tickled the monarch that he later asked to sit by the star. When It comes to big parties, nobody has ever topped Marion Davies. Her parties aren't just big they are beautifully conducted. Ouula Bergere (Mrs. Basil Rath bone) also knows the secret of giv ing big parties. When she an 1 Basil celebrated their eleventh wedding anniversary at the Victor Hugo, she personally seated most of the 250 guests That night, the women came as brides of various periods. Basil and Ouida were Maximillian and Carlotta. Gene Raymond and Jeanette MacDonald were Romeo and Juliet. Edward G. and Gladys Robinson were Na poleon and Josephine. Countess di Frasso as Hostess Countess Dorothy di Frasso has given us some of our most hilari ous times. Who'll forget the oc casion when two of her guests got in a fight in the hallway? They invited each other outside and everybody trooped along to watch. When the crowd got out in the back yard, floodlights went on and disclosed a boxing ring. - Dorothy had pulled a gag. The guests were prize fighters. They got in the ring and staged a bout It's not important but some ot us got. a great laugh at another of Dorothy's parties . . . at the sight of Dorothy, who had just re turned from the cruise of the "Hell Ship," and the Duke of Suther land, who had Just piled his yacht ashore, talking to the former foot ball star, Shipwreck Kelly. No list of parties would be com plete without the one when Carole Lombard took over the entire "Fun House" at the Venice pier . , . ot the White Mayfair party that Carole staged and that almost blew up in a million pieces when Norma Shearer showed up in red. Sunday Afternoon Frolic Craziest affair, perhaps, was when Joan Payson and Jock Whit ney gave a ball at 1 p. m. on Sun day because Beatrice Stewart had been sick and waa unable to go out in the evening. The hostess, Kay Francis, and Carole Lombard all wore court presentation dresses, Including the ostrich feathers in the hair. Elsa Maxwell, made up as a doctor, wore a top hat, a beard and a man's dress suit The bids said for the guests to come in evening clothes. Nearly everybody had been to Al Vanderbilt's party the night be fore. They were dead tired but they stayed until the early hours.

The Michigan Senator went on record that he favored a single term, coalition movement in his behalf. "WORKING WIFE" BAN IOW IN 20 STATES The working girl's chances of get ting married without losing her job have now reached a new low. A survey just made shows that in 20 states proposals to prohibit employ ment of wives in government service has reached the legislative or execu tive decree stage in one form or other, and in four states the bans already had gone into effect. GOVERSMEST LOOKISG COL LEGE MEN OVER The several government agencies have entered this year in the aunual battle to snag the "bright young men" By Rena Chambers, William Justice, Robert Colville. In this age of good roads and rapid transportation it is hard to believe that Indian trails were once used in this county for highways and only men on horseback or people On foot could pajs over these primitive roads. In the early part of the nine teenth century, when the white set tlers first came to this section, roads .if this kind existed in Jackson Coun ty. Even before the white man thought of settling here, De Soto passed over one of these trails on .us journey to the Mississippi River. This trail was known only to the Indians prior to 1540. It probably stalled near Bryson City, wound through the hills for a number of miles and crossed Gribble Mountain just above the Cox farm. It passed by the home of Mr. Cox, went up the of college graduating classes. Agents for big business corporations long have made the rounds year after year in search for men Who might become future executives.

As the county was being settled, this trail became the first public road in Jackson County. The second road in the county was a trail which began at Webster, then the county seat of Jackson County, crossed Scott's Creek, and on through the Balsam Gap into Waynesville, Later this road was developed into a passable highway. About 1878 a road was built from Highlands to one of the roads that led into Asheville. This road came through Speedwell and Cullowhee where it followed the course of the Tuckaseegee River until it met the Asheville road. Later the main highway Vas built by the male population. Each man had to work fifteen days on the road until it was finished. The road from Sylva to Moriteith Gap was built in this way about 1850. It crossed the Tuckaseegee RjVer where the Cullo whee Creek empties into the river. This road was taken over by the state in 1938.
