COMING HOME TO MARRY.

MISB BENITA HUME.

NO WORD TO FIANCE. Miss Benlta Hume, the British Aim star, who was making pictures in Hollywood, declared that she would leave for London about August 10 to •marry her flance, Mr. Jack Dunfee, the British racing motorist, says the Daily Mail correspondent. “I will deflnitely marry Mr. Dunfee on my arrival in England,’ she told me. “After the ceremony we will leave for the South of France and spend our honeymoon on the Riviera. She added that she would return to Hollywood for three months each year for Aim engagements. She could not give the date of her flrst return. Her announcement will put an end to reports—which gain currency every time she is seen with a Aim celebrity

—.that she is engaged to someone else. Also it will cut down Mr. Dunfee’s Transatlantic telephone bills. He spent £9O to oheok up the situation the other day when Miss Hume went to a preliminary showing of a Aim with Mr. Maurioe Chevalier. “First I Have Hoard.”. \ When spoken to bf the Daily Mail representative about Miss Hume’s return, Mr. Dunfee said: “This is the flrst time I have heard of it. I know she is coming home, but I have not heard from her for a few days.”

“And I suppose you mean to be married as soon after her arrival as possible?" he was asked. “I should say so,’ said Mr. Dunfee fervently, “but at the moment she is working in a film, so no date can be fixed.” .

Miss Hume’s business representative in London said: “Miss Hume was on the point of leaving Hollywood last Thursday when a representative of Fox Films offered her a part opposite Mr. Adolphe Menjou in ‘The Worst Woman in Paris.’ She will come to London as soon as this film is finished." That seems conclusive, but an official of Universal said: “You can take it from us that Miss Hume is playing in ‘Only Yesterday,’ now being made at Universay City, with Mr. John Boles as the 6tar.”
