No sooner had they become established in their Hollywood home on returning from Paris than they decided to change their residence to New York. The above picture shows the much traveling pair leaving Los Angeles bound for the metropolis. They were bid farewell by a mob of film stars, lesser screen players, curiosity seekers, and others.

Gloria Swanson Wearing Hosiery Fashion
Original caption: oh lady-lady! If the women don't stop doing these things it will soon be necessary to get another amendment to the constitution. Here is a new style for women that has taken Los Angeles by storm. However the correspondent did not advise us what would happen in a really truly storm. Just imagine, the ankles and lower limbs of milady are painted in whatever design is desired. When such a charming person as Gloria Swanson goes into the thing well, can you imagine what the feminine movie fans may do? It is said that hosiery manufactures are up in arms against the new mode.

Original caption: Small But Cute. Paris, France: Actress Gloria Swanson lifts the rear cover to reveal the tiny motor of her little convertible Volkswagen, which she has been driving in Paris and Rome. Miss Swanson says it is more like "racing" in those cities, since swarms of motorists seem to compete with each other as if they were champion speed kings.

Original caption: 1942-Gloria Swanson is back in Hollywood to resume her screen career. Dropping in on Cecil B. DeMille, the man who took her out of a line of Sennett bathing beauties and made her one of the most glamourous stars of screen history, she acted out a role of his current production, "Reap The Wind," by reading from the script-just for auld lang syne. Yes, those are peacock feathers in her hat-bad omens to most theatrical people, but Gloria says they've always brought her luck.
