"DISHONOURED.'
During Marlene Dietrich's swift, meteoric carcer as an actress, a little group of frienda has gathered silently about her, always' appear- ing with her on stage or screen. The friends are a half-dozen funny little dolls, made of cloth, shoe- button eyes, and arrus and legs that dangle and dance and assume most peculiar positions when at rest.
The dolls have been in every motion picture in which Miss Dic- trich has appeared. Before that, they were with her in her dressing room each time she appeared as a concert artist at the start of her career, or, later, as an actress on: the Reinhardt stage in Berlin musical comedies, ?!
During this association, the dolls have travelled with Miss Dietrich over most of Europe, and from Europa to Hollywood, They will continue to travel with her, to join her in every cast that plays in her "support, as long as they hold to-
