HOLLYWOOD, CALIF: Seen together at luncheons, dinners, for cocktails and previews, screen star Marlene Dietrich and noted director Fritz Lang have set Hollywood tongues a-wagging. As for Marlene, her friends declare she’s “the old, gay Dietrich again,” for the first time since the death of her heart interest, John Gilbert. And there seems to be a happy glint in Lang’s monocled eye as the two lunch together at the Brown Derby, pictured here.
