Gossip Friday: Early Out

From February 1936:

One of the nicest parties of the year was given by Pansy and Nicholas Schenck at Joseph Schenck’s palatial home; many of the guests came on from the Lewis Milestone cocktail party which was a gay and happy affair; after a week of unprecedented gaiety you might think the Schenck party would suffer, but with a good orchestra, grand food and conversation, most of the guests stayed on and on. Carole Lombard and Clark Gable left early because they are working and had to be on the set early; Louis B. Mayer did some fancy dancing with Hope Lighton; Marion Davies stunning in black; Mrs. Jack Warner wearing a Mary of Scotland hat and looking lovely.
