DAN CUPID AHEAD Latest Hollywood reports on marriage and divorce show the record running- "neck and neck" as it were. Dan Cupid is leading by a nose. The score stands today: Marriage 52; Divorces, Separations, other forms of matrimonial wreckage, 51. Strictly speaking, Danny is ahead of his enemy by more than a couple of noses, for about a dozen of the blows dealt him this year rally had their beginning in 1933 or earlier. Ronald Colman and Thelma Ray, for instance, had been separated for ten years, but only this year did she get a decree. And Charles Ray and Clara Grant Ray, parted in 1932, only now have«5t in the courts. Six couples names are listed on both sides of the contest, rep-nting both sides of the contest, representing unions that failed to last the year out. Marjorie Crawford Wellman heroine of the 'kidnap element' episode which ended in her marriage to the man she accused, stayed wed to R. C. "Danny" Dowling only a month before she got a divorce. Sara Clark married Eddie Buzzell August 11, and had a decree October 18. Donald Cook and Maxine Lewis, Gary Grant and Virginia Cherrill, married and were in court before the year ended. Harry Clay Mount Jr, and Viola Louie eloped and parted with annulment pending. June Knight sued Paul Ames for divorce within two weeks. Jean Harlow married Hal Rosson in September, 1933, announced the rift in May, and her suit for divorce now is awaiting hearing. Elissa Landi filed for divorce from John Cecil Lawrence in May and did nothing more about it, but in November he filed against her in London and Elissa now promises quick action on her own score. The marital difficulties of Rudy Vallee and Faye Webb kept the wires humming almost as much as those of Mary Pickford and Doug Fairbanks, who did not reach the expected reconciliation. Mary's divorce action still is on file. 1934's BEST DESSED MEN Fifth Avenue tailors got together last week and made a list of the country's best dressed men. They are W. Goadby Loew, T. Mar-koe Robrtson, Walter Dorwin Teague and Hunter S. Marston, of New York; E. T. Stotesbury and Anthony Drexel Biddle, of Philadelphia; I. Newton Perry, of Chicago, Claude K. Boettcher, of Denver; Lewis Stone, of Hollywood; and Alfred P. Sloan, of Detroit.

A CHEERFUL RECORD Since this seems to be a statistical column this week; we may as well finish it with a happy record. So far this year Toronjo has established a record as far as dipth-eria is concerned, not one death in the city having resulted from this disease. In November, out of 101 cases of scarlet fever, one death resulted. Alarm concerning the'large number of cases of infantile paralysis a few months ago has now been allayed completely not one case having been reported since November 5th.
