THE STARS

Number one marriage rita of the past few months was that of Jack- te Coogan and Betty Grable. The former kid star who earned more than a million dollars as a child' was forced to call off the mar- riage because he couldn't support his wife! There is a silver lining somewhere in the story. Jackle's suit against his mother to recover at least a part of his earnings comes up in court again soon, and it is possible that he will be given a substantial'chunk of the for- tune. In which case Betty has promised" that she will return to him.

The Margaret Lindsay-Bob Ab- bott romance is now just a friend- ship. Several months ago the that lovely Margaret announced It would be a marriage, but the romance wore

from too much waiting.

Among Hollywood's very young- est set Judy Garland and Johnny Downs are a constant twosome. Jackle Cooper and Pat Stewart a steady thing. Bonita Granville and Frankie Thomas, Deanna Durbin and Jackie Moran.

Robert Taylor and Greta Garbo will co-star in '"Ninotchka,” the Swedish actress' Arst film in more than a year. Garbo believes that Taylor is good luck to her, for her last successful picture, "Camille.” was done with him playing the leading male role. When

Garbo

completes "Ninotchka," the studio will have "The Life of Madame Curle" waiting for her.

Brian Aherne, before a work in front of the cameras, almost invariably takes long walk. One morning some boy rabbit hunters, shooting wildy. nearly killed him with small rifles. Later the same day he faced a Bring squad, in the picture, **Juarez."

Brian Unashamedly, declared that he much preferred the firing squad to the rabbit hunters.
