How to AAake Up /our Lips to Last

8 Hours or /Wore

9 A. Al. — You apply when you go out

5 P. fA. — Eight hours later — lot'e/y red I

New 8-hour lip coloring discov-
ered in Paris by Edna Wallace
Hopper. Formulated on entirely
new principle. Waterproof ....
Wearproof . . . . Indelible ....
Ends constant malcing-up.'

Edna Wallace Hopper, famous stage
beauty, discovered it in Pans. A lip
color that banishes all the smearing and
fleeting life of present ways in make-up.
An utterly new kind of lipstick.

She sent it to Hollywood, and it swept
through the studios like a storm. Old-time
lipsticks were discarded overnight.

Now — Kissproof, the world's largest
makers of lipsticks, has obtained the for-
mula from Miss Hopper, and offers its
amazing results to you. A totally New
type, different from any other you have
ever tried . . . Kissproof or any other kind.

You put it on before you go out. Then
forget about it. Six hours, eight hours later
your lips are still naturally lovely!

No more constant making-up. No more
fuss and bother. Do you wonder that
women are flocking to its use?

Utterly NEW Principle

It is different in formula and result from
any previously known lipstick. It does
what no other lipstick does or has ever
done . . . actually seems to last indefinitely.

That's because the color pigment it em-
bodies has never before been used in a lip-
stick. It holds where others smear.

Then, too, it is a true, Natural color.
Thus it ends that artificial smirk women
have tried for years to overcome. A color
that glorifies the lips to pulse-quickening
loveliness — trust the French for that!

What to Ask For

To obtain, ask for the New Kissproof
Indelible Lipstick (or Lip and Cheek
Rouge). And — remember it is Not the
"same" as any other lipstick known. Don't
believe that ;ust because you have tried
Kissproof before — that you have tried this
one. You haven't; this is Entirely New.
Edna Wallace Hopper paid $2.50 for the
original in Paris. Owing to tremendous
demand the price is much less in this
country. Two forms at all toilet counters
— lipstick — lip and cheek rouge. Re-
member— Kissproof gives you imported
lipstick quality without imported prices.
Money cannot buy a finer lipstick.

YOU and I consider ourselves
educated moviegoers. We know
what we like and what we don't like,
and we aren't afraid to say so. We
laugh, for instance, at the blood-and-
thunder serials that used to thrill us
when we were in the fifth grade — and
then we knock each other down, try-
ing to be the first to see the newest
horror specials (such as "Franken-
stein" and "Murders in the Rue
Morgue"), which are just great big
brothers to the old-time serials!

AND speaking of screen chillers,
L if you don't get a shudder or
two or three out of "Freaks," you're
a stronger man than I am, Gunga
Din. So far as I'm concerned, this is
the horror picture to end all horror
pictures. I'm swearing ofF!

/CONGRATULATIONS are in
V_> order for Columbia — the first
studio to look upon this matter of
stars in a sane manner. Columbia's
idea is to have the stars glorify the
pictures, rather than to have the pic-
tures inflate the stars. And how will
they accomplish this? First of all,
they will stop giving long-term con-
tracts— which often convince good-
looking youngsters that they have
talent, when all they have, to be
frank, is looks.

Columbia will no longer get stories
to fit certain stars, but get players to
tit their stories. They will engage
them only for the duration of the
picture. But how will the poor play-
ers manage to afford ermine coats and
swanky limousines under this system?
The principal players will receive not
only salaries while acting, but also
revalues from the box-office returns
on the picture — the theory being that,
the better their acting, the more
money the picture will make. It
sounds logical, and I'm anxious to see
the idea in action. How about your-
self?

ONGRATULATIONS are also
in order for Metro-Goldwyn-
Mayer, the first studio to have the
courage to present a picture featuring
a genuine all-star cast. Those words,
"all-star cast," have long been over-
worked, until they mean almost noth-
ing. But in "Grand Hotel," you will
see Garbo (who discards the Greta,
by the way, with this picture), John
and Lionel Barrymore, Joan Craw-
ford, Wallace Beery and Jean Her-
sholt — the greatest cast ever assem-
bled in one film. It took nerve to try
the experiment. For, afterward, will
you and I be content to see pictures
that boast only one or two stars?

But maybe the producers won't be
stingy. Remember that M-G-M not
many months ago tried the experi-
ment of co-starring several of their
big names — and now all the studios
are doing it.

WHEN Charlie Chaplin finished
"City Lights," he closed down
his studio, keeping only a few (three
or four) employees at work. Harold
Lloyd has not made a picture in
months, yet his large staff of studio
workers are still on the payroll, not
looking for jobs. He's a real sport!

DO producers really rate the in-
telligence of moviegoers like
this? The title of "The Man I
Killed" was changed to "Broken
Lullaby," lest you should think it
was another gangster opus. The title
of "The Honorable Mr. Wong" was
changed to "The Hatchet Man,"
lest the "honorable" should make
you think Somebody approved of
Edward G. Robinson's hatchet-shng-
ing. The title of "Old Man Minick"
was changed to "The Expert," lest
you should not remember that Chic
Sale once wrote a best-seller called
"The Specialist" — even though Edna
Ferber's story was hardly based on
that.

/CLIVE BROOK says, rightly, that
V_> producers don't profit by their
mistakes. As soon as a picture is fin-
ished, thev forget about it — except
to note whether or not it is making
money. They don't try to discover
why it is or isn't. But Clive studies
the reaction to his pictures. That's
how he has improved himself. If
only there were more like him!

ACCORDING to Variety, the Bible
L of show business, several screen
magazines have lately been cutting
down their budgets by running "in-
terviews" written by the stars' press-
agents. Just as a matter of record,
I want to state that Movie Classic
is not guilty — and never will be. I
hope you will take note of the number
of journalistic "scoops" in this issue
— running all the way from "Clara
Bow's First Interview Since Her Mar-
riage" to Louise Rice's analysis of
the character of Clark Gable from his
handwriting, the first of a brand-new
series.

AT A NEW LOW PRICE

WHY risk discomfort for the
fifty trying days of the
year? The easy comfort of softly
fluffed Modess makes these diffi-
cult days more endurable — hap-
pier. Its safety backing saves
you from fear of embarrassment.

Johnson & Johnson have re-
duced the price of Modess. It
is the same quality — nothing
changed but the price. And the
price is most decidedly in your
favor.

Try Modess. If it isn't com-
pletely satisfactory, write your
name, address, and the price paid,
on cover of box, and mail to us.
We will refund your money.

Don't Spoil the Beautiful

Memories

A FEW blasts from a horn may make all
old pictures like "Ben-Hur" and "The
Birth of a Nation" Sound Productions, so
far as the distributor's racket is concerned,
but to this Movie Fan they're not howling
successes.

Truly, advance publicity promised sound
entertainment, coaxing the unsuspecting
screenward, where a few moments of the
programme fired one with a desire for
"Flit," so that a person could put an end to
the agony of these human flutter-jerking in-
sects, who jumped about on a background of
passe, antediluvian photography.

If the producers have neither the inclina-
tion, strength or money to re-take and make
talkies of these famous stories of yesterday,
why untomb their now-faded glory and ruin
the beautiful memory of Picture World
Masterpieces? Jean McMichael,

The $10.00 Letter

Give "Younger Generation"
A Break

MOVING PICTURE producers are
firmly convinced that high-school
youth is speeding down the primrose path
to quick disaster! No? Then I wish some
observing company would produce a film
depicting the much-maligned "younger gen-
eration" in a mode of life not entirely de-
voted to gin-swigging, petting, and kindred
pleasures.

Perhaps the all-powerful box-office de-
mands the sensational and lurid, but I can-
not imagine "Skippy" as an incipient Ca-
pone, nor "Sooky" as a future anarchist; yet
strangely enough, these two pictures seem to
have attracted unusual patronage. Is it too
impossible, then, to create a story concern-
ing the adventures of seventeen- and eight-
een-year-old adolescents, and have them
act as Skippy or Sooky would at that age?

It may be that the normal teen age holds
little of interest for a blase public, but is the
fault with us? We stand on the threshold of
life, and our problems are not the morbid
affairs certain pictures would lead us to
believe.

We in high-school, you must remember,
are trying to establish our identity as per-
sons, and we would appreciate the intelli-
gent aid the cinema could render us.

Movies For Taut Nerves

NEVER have the movies had a more
salutary effect than in this time of al-
most universal depression. While nerves are
taut with the stress of ghastly financial af-
fairs, there is nothing like the splendid dra-
matic productions to alleviate the strain.
And as if the powers of the movie world
realized this, they are giving us such singu-
larly worthwhile pictures as "Arrowsmith,"
"Mata Hari," "Tomorrow and Tomorrow."
Who can see the priceless Marie Dressier in
"Emma" and go away still self -centered,
calling the world a total loss? We who have
suffered and been crushed by new and unex-
pected burdens need something outside of
ourselves to grip us completely.

The movies are a hypodermic, bringing
blessed interludes of forgetfulness. Yea,
they are more than that — they are a world
tonic, injecting new life and belief, restoring
mental equilibrium, bringing broader out-
looks and a strange comforting peace. ■'

A More Appropriate Title

AFTER having seen the great Garbo in
. "Susan Lenox," I came to the conclu-
sion that the author gave that person, in the
vernacular of the street, a "dirty deal."

In my opinion, a title more appropriate
than the present one would be "SHE Who
Gets Slapped," for slapped she was from the
time she was "slapped into the world," as it
were, by the doctor who presided at her
birth, down through her pitiful and sordid
existence, right to the last chapter.

Comedies Being Neglected

WHEN will the producers wake up and
give us some real belly-rollicking
comedies? The Talkies have swept the
directors off their feet. They think it more
important to have voice perfection than
accomplished acting.
For a change, we movie
fans would like com-
edies that would roll
us off our seats.

The effectiveness of
modern comedy is lost
through the neglect
of pantomime. Wise-
cracking in the movies
is greatly overdone. It
isn't funny to sit and
listen to your neigh-
bor's laughter at a
movie when the voices
on the screen are in-
audible. Bob Moore,
Newberg, Ore.

Her teeth too precious to risk
with any tooth paste but the softest

Baby teeth are given new protection by a new discovery . . . a cleansing
material has been developed that's twice as soft as those in common use

CHILDREN'S teeth are softer and
more porous than adults'! Being
softer, they are more easily injured by
harsh tooth pastes. Those designed only
for older, harderteeth are apt to be much
too abrasive for tender, soft enamel.

Recently Pepsodent laboratories have
developed a new and entirely different
cleansing material. Baby teeth brushed
by it thousands of times and examined
undera powerful microscope fad to show
the faintest scratch— only a soft, lustrous
glow like a precious jewel with film
stains completely erased.

The adoption of this new discovery in
Pepsodent affords greater protection to
children's teeth — it provides an abso-
lutely safe way of removing film.

Care of Baby Teeth
You must remove film from children's
teeth, as well as your own, tu i« e e\ ery

Amos 'if' Andy brought to you hy Pepsodent eve

day. FILM is that slippery coating on
your teeth. It gathers germs that cause
decay. It glues them tightly to enamel.
FILM absorbs the stains from foods and
makes teeth unattractive. Removing
FILM is vitally important.

Some tooth pastes remove film but
leave microscopic scratches. Others are
sate but fail to remove film satisfacto-
rily. But Pepsodent — through its notable
new discover} — combines film-remov-
ing power with super-safety.

The new cleansing and polishing
material is twice as soft as that in com-
mon use. It brings extra safety to your
children's teeth and yours . . . Remem-
ber, too, this new material stands un-
surpassed in removing stubborn film.
It gives more brilliant polish to enamel.

Tipping You Off

Little Low-Downs On The Stars

By J. E.

JOHN BARRYMORE beat Walter Win-
I chell to it by announcing that the Barry-
-^ more- Dolores Costello"blessed event"will
take place in May. John hopes for a son.
. . . Ciarbo wanted a psychic to tell her
about the Garbo future, but when the sooth-
sayer said she'd do it, if they had press pic-
tures taken together, the smart Swede
changed her mind. . . . Now that Miriam
Hopkins is living in Garbo's former shelter
(Greta has moved up the street), the house
is seeing some parties — and gay ones, at
that. . . . Beginning with "Grand Hotel,"
the silent Scandinavian will be billed as
just plain Garbo.

Peggy von Eltz, former actress-wife of
Theodore von Eltz, actor, has just married
Joseph Moncure March, writer. Flaunting
convention, they first tried a "test mar-
riage"— for Peggy wanted to be sure this
time. . . . M-G-M didn't care for the first
name of Nora Gregor, their new foreign dis-
covery, so you'll see her as Eleonora Gregor.
. . . Irving Pichel is voice-training RKO's
new "find," Gwili Andre (there's a name for
you!), by having her read aloud from the
Good Book. . . . The only American stars
capable of making French versions of films
are Douglas Fairbanks, Jr. and Ruth Chat-
terton; they're about to do one together.

Remember Carman Barnes, the girl-
author who was signed for stardom by Para-
mount and never made a picture? She's
trying to content herself with a small salary
on the New York stage. . . . Linda Watkins
isn't any happier to be newly married (to
Gabriel Hess, New York lawyer), than she
is to get away from Hollywood, which Made
Her Unhappy. . . . One of the few bidders
for the Navy's older airship, the Los
Avgeles, is Howard Hughes, producer of
"Hell's Angels," who wants it for a picture.
. . . Pola Negri, who really isn't well enough
yet to be making those personal appear-
ances, told Chicago interviewers that she
was going to marry a Windy City lad — but
wouldn't tell his name. Aw, Pola! . . .

Mae Marsh, one of the great favorites of
silent days, who made a comeback in "Over
the Hill," has already gone back to the
home-life and the children. . . . Mary Dun-
can has had her marriage to Lewis Wood,
Jr., quietly annulled already, the romance
having curdled after the first few days.
. . . Harry Langdon is all set for a come-
back, making his own comedies in the East,
far from the Hollywood that took him for
such a sleigh ride. ... In spite of the "un-
safe-for-white-women " bulletins about Ha-
waii, Dolores Del Rio and company are mak-
ing "Bird of Paradise" there. . . .

Director Ernst Lubitsch and actress Ona
Munson have suffered a severe chill and
called off those nuptials. . . . When Richard
Dix and his bride recently spent a three-
week delayed honeymoon in New York,
Rich didn't tell even his press-agent where
they were staying. . . . When Nancy Carroll
recently canceled a personal appearance
engagement at the New York Paramount,
stork rumors flew about. She and husband
Bolton Mallory have just been taking a de-
layed honeymoon, themselves, in the Ba-
hamas. . . . Universal, sponsor of three hor-
ror hits ("Dracula," "Frankenstein" and
"Murders in the Rue Morgue") has three
more on tap — "The Old Dark House" and
"The Invisible Man" (both starring Boris
Karloff) and "The Suicide Club" by Robert
Louis Stevenson. . . .

Marlene Dietrich — and this is good
news — has one more picture to go on her

EIGHBORS

GOINGS-ON AMONG THE PLAYERS

THAT "Mata Hari" opening at
Grauman's Chinese Theatre had
the stellar ladies hauling their best bibs and tuckers out of
the moth balls. It was a regular old-time premiere, and it
didn't look much like depression. There were enough
diamonds and ermine' to make Peggy Hopkins Joyce
writhe with envy.

Of course it didn't exactly keep people away from the
theatre, outside and inside,
to rumor that Garbo might
attend. Only might, mind
you. Even while the show
was going on, the report
spread like wildfire that
Garbo was watching the film
from the projection room.
She wasn't in the projection
room, or within miles of the
theatre. Garbo wouldn't go
to a premiere to see the
Battle of Bull Run with the
original cast.

ALL of our very best

Z~\ people, my dear, were
out for the opening in full
panoply. Doug and Mary
were there. So were Norma
Shearer and Irving Thalberg.
Few people saw them, but
Marlene Dietrich and Josef
von Sternberg were also
among those present. They
slipped in early, sat 'way up
in front, and did not wear
evening clothes. Tallulah
Bankhead, plumper than
ever before, was one of the
swankiest femmes — all rigged
up in black velvet and white
fox. Her escort was Adrian,

affair, but

HE "Arrowsmith" opening

the following week wasn't quite
as mammoth an affair, but it was a pretty smart
shindig, considering who attended. Mary Pickford, in-
troduced by her husband, friend Doug, undertook to
make a speech without walking to the stage.

It was fine for the people in the orchestra chairs, but
the balcony customers were not in such a hot spot. Those

in the front balcony seats
arose to a man to get a better
view of America's Sweet-
heart. Naturally the back-
row public couldn't see a
durned thing, and were pretty
put out about it.

"Sit down, sit down!"
they shouted, all through
poor Mary's spiel. No one
knew whether she was de-
livering Hamlet's Soliloquy
or giving her recipe for pic-
calilli. Mary finished what-
ever it was. By golly, the
show has got to go on, and
the screen's first lady was not
going to say "uncle."

ANOTHER exciting
l moment of the evening
was the gentleman who

looked exactly like Einstein — you know, the chap who
has that theory which no one understands. Sid Grauman,
forty publicity men, and three hundred unpaid, but
willing workers, tried to coax him over to the microphone.
"Nein. nein," muttered the stranger, impatiently.
And "nein" he remained. The staff felt better the next
day when they found out whom he was — just a Hollvwood
tailor. There's some truth to the cinematic maxim — if you
can't be somebody, try at least to look like somebody.

Lola Lane — and isn't she a healthy specimen? — gets out
in the desert sunshine at the El Mirador Hotel, Palm
Springs, sporting an outfit by Evans of Beverly Hills.
Lew Ayres, the hubby, must be around somewhere!

'M not saying a word,

mind you, but Loretta
"Voung is wearing a diamond
as big as a searchlight on her
business finger. She says
she bought it herself, but
pooh-pooh, Loretta is too
pretty to buy her own rings.
Herbert Somborn is the
lucky lad who is seen places
with Loretta. Somborn is
one of the ex-Mr. Gloria Swan-
sons — number two down
the line. He owns the Brown
Derby restaurants, and there
are tour scattered around
Los Angeles and Hollywood.
The romance has all been
pretty secret. Loretta would
arrive at one of the Derby
eateries and dine with Som-
born. Then, oh, awfully casually, she would say a formal
"good night" and depart. Three minutes later Mr.
Somborn, ditto casually, would also leave. And it didn't
look as if he were going out to wait for a street-car, either.

"Tom Brown is my real name, and I'm going to
play the lead in 'Tom Brown of Culver.' That's
the first time an actor has ever had his own name in
the title of a picture. Isn't it swell?" demands the
boyishly enthusiastic youngster who, at nineteen, is
the latest discovery of Hollywood.

"I'm not exactly new to films, since I played the
fresh kid "in 'The Lady Lies,' with Claudette Col-
bert. Remember? . . . I've done bits in other pic-
tures and I've been on Broadway, as the boy in
Ts Zat So.' with the Gleasons.

"They're about my best friends in pictures, but
I've been working so hard since I've been here that
I haven't had much time to go out. . . . I've been
dancing at the Ambassador with Anita Louise and
Rochelle Hudson — aren't they swell kids?" he cries
again.

His voice shows long stage training — his mother
and father are in vaudeville — and his manner is
explosively boyish. He has
dark brown hair, and flash-
ing blue eyes. Is of me-
dium height, and very husky.

"I've done some boxing,
but swimming's my favorite
sport. It'll be swell fun this
summer, going to the beach!
I hope audiences like me — I
want to stay in Hollywood
forever!"

''If fans want to find out
about my love affairs I'm
afraid they'll be disappoint-
ed," says blue-eyed Tala Bi-
rell. Hollywood's latest im-
portation. The lady comes
from Vienna, has a charming
medium pitched voice, and
denies that she's trying to
imitate Garbo even though
she did quarrel with a wom-
an interviewer who asked a too-personal question.

"I'm not going to marry until I find someone to
live with for always." she adds. "I've seen too
much of divorce through my friends. As for men,
I like sportsmen best. I used to play tennis myself
— five hours a day — until I began developing mus-
cles that look awful with evening gowns!"

She's been in Hollywood since July learning Eng-
lish, and now speaks without noticeable accent.
Quiet, aristocratic, she seems older than her twenty-
three years, and is probably the only girl in Holly-
wood who likes Clark Gable because, "He is quiet
and sits in a corner. He is charming!"

Her first picture. "Mountains in Flame," has just
been completed. Next you'll see her in "The Mar-
riage Interlude." Tala raps frantically on wood
when she mentions it. "I mitst succeed!" And with
that mischievous smile and the mysterious manner
the public demands nowadays, she probably will.

KNOW what it means to be

years I had the desperate fact
of it hammered into me. Be-

but in their eyes 1 could see their pity, their
secret satisfaction that they were slim and
slender, instead of being like me.

■*W 1%

Emma * ^ate to c°ntempiate what

"Emma" would be without
Marie Dressier — for she glorifies the pic-
ture, instead ol the picture's glorifying her.
In plot and dialogue, it has a flavor of good,
old dependable hokum and an aroma of sen-
timentality. Marie's rSle is that of a robust,
homely soul who has been housekeeper all
her life to an inventor-widower (Jean Her-
sholt), raising his four children — only one of
whom (Richard Cromwell) returns her love,
particularly after she comes out of the scul-
lery and becomes the inventor's wife. !t has
comedy, pathos, a good cast — but nothing
out of the ordinary except Marie, who never
had a better chance to prove that she can
inject life into any kind of drama.

BROKEN ExceP* for the title, this is
the same picture that was
LULLABY premiered as "The Man I
Killed " — a title more to my
liking. (I like my realism!) The theme is an
enlargement of that old Civil War story of
the Yankee who had to kill his Southern
brother — with the war the Great War, the
victim German, and his unwilling slayer
(Phillips Holmes) French. Unable to con-
quer his remorse, he makes a pilgrimage to
the German boy's home-town, and there
conies to know the boy's father (Lionel
Barrymore) and sweetheart (Nancy Carroll).
Phil seems wooden in this role-of-a-lifetime,
and Nancy's part isn't her type; but Lionel's
acting and Lubitsch's direction gripped me.

MURDERS IN THE
RUE MORGUE

You admirers
of Poe are go-
ing to shud-
der with hor-
ror at this wild tale — not so much because of
what happens therein, as because of what
the script writers have done to Poe's original
horror classic. About all that is left is the
title. The owner of the gruesome ape is not
a frightened sailor, but a newly-created and
bloodthirsty Dr. Mirakle; the great detec-
tive, Dupin, is transformed into an amorous
medical student; and Mile. L'Espanaye,
who once met a fate as bad as death, is
spared this time. In short, it's a synthetic
thriller, and hardly an improvement upon
Poe — boasting a cast headed by Bela Lugosi.

Shanghai Jhey ™f,ed, the nr.e-

lease of Marlene Die-
EXPRESS trich's third American

talkie, because that
little fray over in China made the title
timely. But they didn't release it any too
soon for me — for these movie-weary eyes
haven't looked upon any superlative wom-
anly allure since Marlene made "Dis-
honored." The scene, of course, is a train
— racing through China; the two principal
characters are a Shanghai waterfront lady
and a British officer out of her past. Here
is vivid melodrama — with the teeming,
threatening Orient an exciting unusual set-
ting. Clive Brook is Marlene's most sophis-
ticated— and best — leading man to date.

THE MAN WHO Besidesoneof
the most intri-
PLAYED GOD guing titles

ever tacked on
a drama, I am happy to report that George
Arliss' newest picture boasts a story that is
novel, well told and sincerely acted — which is
high praise from thisol' castiron typewriter.
Arliss has the role of a world-lamed pianist
who finds adulation sweet, until an accident
makes him deaf, casting him into an eternal
stillness. (A great scene, this!) Embittered
against God for his misfortune, he finds life
a burden until he learns to read the lips of
those who pass his window — and "plays
God" to the unfortunate. Arliss puts you
in his place. The cast is excellent.

THE HATCHET MAN Earner

Brot ti-
ers want to call Edward G. Robinson "the
man of a thousand characters" — and if the
man must be trademarked, this label suits
me. There is no doubt that he can play any
role they give him, including the Chinese.
In his current vehicle he acts, with consid-
erable effect, the part of a Chinese tong
leader, whose emblem of office is a hatchet.
Moreover, he has to use it, even on his best
friends — for he respects the customs of old
China, not the new American laws of China-
town. In short, it is a new version of that
story of the feud between the old ways and
the new — with an ending that may knock
you out of your seat. Lurid, but effective.

quick relief

Colds that would ordinarily
last 9 days, vanish in 3

Look out for wet or cold feet, draughts,
sudden changes of temperature; any un-
due exposure. All are contributing causes
of the common cold and sore throat.
Such exposure lowers resistance so that
germ organisms in the mouth and nose
get the upper hand. Illness follows. At
the first sign of trouble, gargle with
Listerine night and morning. Better still,
every two hours.

Listerine reduces mouth bacteria 98%
and allays pain and irritation. It's amaz-
ing how frequently this treatment will
break up a cold.

Actual tests show that colds that would

ordinarily last nine or ten days, vanish in
three or four. Colds, instead of being
severe, are mild. Repeated tests on human
beings have proved this again and again.

These tests also revealed that the reg-
ular twice-a-day Listerine gargle is a re-
markable preventive of colds.

Experiments show that non-Listerine-
users contracted twice as many colds as
those who gar-
gled with Lister-
ine twice a day.
And the colds
lasted three

times as long.

Such brilliant results could not be ex-
pected from mouth washes so harsh they
irritate tissue. Listerine's success is due
to the fact that, while it kills germs, it is
soothing and healing to tissue. Make a
habit of using Listerine every day. It not
only safeguards your health, but automat-
ically makes your breath sweet, whole-
some, and agreeable. It instantly ends
halitosis (unpleasant breath), the unfor-
givable social fault. Lambert Pharmacal

The Lancet of London never bestows its commendation on a
product without subjecting it to critical tests. And now this

JOAN BLONDELL is too virtuous. The qualifying
adjective "too" is Hollywood's, not Joan's. There

being virtuous is like being dead: One is— or one
isn't. Joan's definition goes, for this is her own story of
her own virtue, which surely makes it a very personal
matter!

It isn't Joan, herself, who claims she is too virtuous,
either. It's masculine Hollywood, which has to see her
and work around her day after day, that complains. And
who could blame it? You hear the boys with vocabularies
describing her as "impregnably virginal" or something
like that. "Morally straight as a die" is another testi-
monial they dazedly give her.

There are facts about her career, however, chat make

CLARA BOW'S First Interview
Since Her Marriage

How does the famous redhead look upon life and her future, now that she is the bride
of Rex Bell? No one has known until now. This story is the first to reveal the new
Clara — as she sees herself. It is one of the frankest, most human stories ever published!

This is more than the first interview that Clara Bow has
given since her marriage — it is the first revelation of a
new, happier Clara. A mystery has grown up around her
because of her long silence. There have
been rumors that she is still ill; that
she has changed in appearance ; that
she is through with the screen.
Now, the truth comes out — in
this sincere, human and ex-
clusive story that MOVIE
CLASSIC is proud to give
to you. — Editor.

THE only
definitely
important
thing that
has ever happened to
Clara Bow is her mar-
riage to Rex Bell. She
says this, herself. Pic-
tures are make-be-
lieve. Fame passes.
But marriage — her
marriage — is
something that
will last.

"Rex Bell has
given me the
only unselfish
devotion I've
ever had," ex-
plains Clara
simply.

The most ar-
resting feature
about Clara Bow
to-day is not
that vital fire
which brought
and kept a
world at her
feet, but a
modest diamond-
and-platinum
wedding band

that means entirely changed interests, new view
points, modified desires. The shining band is un-
obtrusive on that broad, competent hand of hers.
But it is her talisman against verbal assault and
vicious criticism; against her own great sensi-
tiveness; against aloneness, friendlessness — and,
yes — foolishness !

Clara, flaming-haired tinder for
thousands of newspaper headlines, BY S O N I A

is rediscovering in marriage those first illusions of her
glamourous career. She has faith in other people again,
for one thing; hope for tomorrow; self-confidence.

Her hair, which was blonde last summer,
was again vividly auburn against the tapestry
of the divan as she talked — for this, her
first interview since her marriage. Her
eyes held a curious wistfulness as she
discussed marriage and the needs
of a woman — and her own mis-
takes— appraising them, judging
herself.

"Marriage has given me —
my s elf! I am no longer
afraid." Her voice had an
intriguing sincerity as she
continued — evaluating her
own opinions and herself,
as much as talking to an-
other person. "The world
saw me as a sort of — moll!
What it didn't know was
that the brazen hussy who
cavorted around was sick to
death of loneliness and fear and
heartache.

Why Clara Has
refused interviews

"I couldn't "irrust anyone to
quote me correctly. I talked to
a newspaper man and when the
story came out he had me saying,
dese, dem and dose." I might
have said 'them' — that's the way
people talked where I came
from. But — I don't talk the Way
he had me talking. Heaven
knows I've had few enough ad-
vantages— it seems cruel to make
me seem more ignorant than
am.

Not Lonely Any More

ried to Rex

that. I have some-
one to depend on,
someone I can
trust. Marriage is
my armor. I can
ook the world in
the face again — con-
fident. Rex and his
ove have mended my
spirit — as his care has
helped to make my
shattered nerves well
again. I've been tak-
ing knocks alone for so
long that knowing
there's someone else to
worry for me and to
ook out for my interests
is a wonderful experience.
I feel so safe — so com-
pletely secure.

"I've always been
afraid of marriage. I felt
that it should be for al-
ways, and I couldn't see

Feu people have seen Clara since her elopement last December with Rev
Bell, cowboy actor (ri^ht), who proved himself the hest friend she has ever
had. She and Rex have been honeymooning — simply by keeping to them-
selves at her Beverly Hills home, where Clara is sunning herself, above

Looking Them Over

Gossip From The West Coast By Dorothy Manners

JUST as we thought — all this romance
talk whispered about Greta Garbo
and Ramon Novarro seems to have
made a slight change between them.
Greta and Ramon, you remember, had
struck up a very fine friendship during the
filming of "Mata Hari." When Novarro
went to New York following the comple-
tion of the picture, Greta, too, happened
to plan a vacation to the Big Town and
they saw each other frequently. So fre-
quently, in fact, that the chatter writers
began to wonder if there might not be a
romance brewing. Certainly Greta had
never been so chummy with anv other

"It's Tough to Be Famous"

But apparently the hints of the pre.^,
have got in their dirty work.

Since Greta and Ramon returned t
Hollywood there have been very few
meetings between them and their studio
tete-a-tetes are growing less and less fre-
quent.

No bad feelings — you understand — just
too much talk!

CONNIE Bennett went to a pre-
view of a Joel McCrea picture the
other night accompanied by a writer
friend — as friend husband. Hank (the
Marquis to you), couldn't go. He had a
bad cold, or something . . . and colds can
get pretty bad on some occasions.

IF Fred Waring were quoted cor-
rectly, there can't be much
truth in the report that he and
Dorothy Lee will be married some
time this year (for her third trip
to the altar).

The popular orchestra leader is
supposed to have the inside track to
the peppy Dorothy's heart — but
evidently he feels differently about
it. Fred is said to have said that he
and Dorothy might have "made

riage to Jimmy Fidler, but with the

NO matter what your
private opinion of this
vogue of "horror" pictures
may be, "Frankenstein" goes
down in box-office history as
one of the most successful
pictures ever produced. It
has outplayed almost every
other box-office hit of the
season. Even its nearest
rival, "The Champ," took
second place to the thriller
picture in cities where they
were booked simultaneously.

BORIS Kar-
loff, star
of "Franken-
stein," is the
most modest
actor Holly-
wood has en-
countered in a
long time.

Recently he
was invited to
be the guest of
honor at the
monthly din-
n e r of the
Wampas. Kar-
loff said he
would accept
on one condi-
tion— that he
be permitted
to bring along
the make-up
artist respon-
sible for his "monster"
make-up in the picture.

"This man deserves a
world of credit that he
will never get," explained
Karloff. "I'd like him to
share this little honor
with me."

The name of the chap that Karloff
brought forward is Jack Pierce.

Strangely enough, Freclric March
was equally insistent on crediting
Wally VVestmore with a large part of
his success in "Dr. Jekyll and Mr.
Hyde." "Please mention this kid's
name," Freddy begged us. "And
remember it isn't Percy or Ernie
Westmore — it's their brother, Wally."

WHILE we're
on the sub-
ject of "Franken-
stein"— here's the
best off-stage laugh
inspired by that
picture:

Karloff was
miscast in that pic-
ture," said a cer-
tain Somebody.
" So-and-So (mean-
ing a certain so-
phisticated woman
star who goes
around frightening
little children with
her temperament),
should have played
it."

JOAN Crawford
and Douglas
Fairbanks, Jr.,
gave an elaborate
theatre and supper
party to celebrate
the Hollywood
opening of Doug's
picture, "Union
Depot." Among
their guests were:

Constance Ben-
nett, who almost
had her lovely
white gown torn
off by eager auto-
graph seekers;
Clark Gable (and
Mrs. Gable), who
did have his tie
jerked untied;
Mary Pickford and
Douglas Fair-
banks, Sr. ; Tallu-
lah Bank head;
Richard Cromwell
and fifty others.

After the show-
ing at the theatre,
the guests returned

fet supper.

tells how it
feels to be

Dead

for an hour

How would you like to be sitting at
breakfast and hear your death sud-
denly announced on theradio? That s
the unique experience that happened
to Wally Beery — he saw his wife be-
come hysterical — he learned how
the news affected his friends. And
right then and there, Wally got a new
outlook on himself and on life. Let
him tell you about it !

By N ancy PRyoR

Wallace Beery has had an experience that few, if any,
of us will ever have. He has been "dead" for an hour —
to the rest of the world; he has heard his own death
notice come suddenly over the radio ; he has had an inkling
of how the world would feel about his passing. What were
his sensations and reactions — how did he feel, what did
he do, what did he think? He tells you in this story
— which will give you a new slant on Wally Beery, just as
Wally, himself, has a new slant on life. — Editor.

W. II. I. .ICE REEKY is discovered dead in his
dressing-room . . . dead from heart failure."
The hour was early morning — breakfast
rime wlun those words came over the
radio, startling Hollywood. Housewives were stirring
about their kitchen duties, half-listening to a program;
business men were awaiting tin- relay of the morning's
news broadcast before rushing oft to work: youngsters
were riming in on the last of a program before hiking of!
to school; thousands of California homes were "on the
air" — when suddenly the voice of the announcer broke
sharply with the statement that Wallace Beeij big,
laughing, lovable Wally — had dropped (had in his dress-
ing-room.

Thousands, chilled by the report, must have thought:

"It can't be true . . . nor Walk Beery ■ • ■ not the fellow
we saw lasr night in ' 1 he Champ' . . ."

\i wspaper offices, in a moment, were turned into bed-
lam with the jangling of telephones; hundreds were calling
to verify the news. Studio newspaper reporters hurriedly
grabbed their liars and hailed taxicabs, lor Wally — good
old Wally, everybody's pal was gone!

Those First Few Seconds

IN an apartment in Hollywood a man and a woman sat
staring at one another over the breakfast table-
dumbfounded, too amazed to speak to one another, not
believing their cars at the announcement they had just
heard from t he loudspeaker.

Volcanic Lupe has been keeping everybody guessing — for there has been one
romance rumor after another trailing her, ever since they parted. But she releases
some pent-up emotions in this story — and tells how she feels toward the men in her

life, especially her Garee!

B y MA RGARET R E 1 D

WHAT has happened to Lupe Velez since her
break with Gary Cooper? What is there to
these rumors of a romance with a prominent
film executive — with John Gilbert — with
Randolph Scott, a newcomer at Paramount who looks
like her Garee? Not a thing, vows Lupe. Moreover, she
adds, talking of Gary, "Never again shall I loff anyone
so much. I loff him as long as I live."

It all came out when I asked her, "What about the
future, Lupe? What do you want of it?"

She was in bed — a huge bed, really two beds made
together. The question made her sit up straight.

"I don't think about the future," she cried defiantly.
"I won't think about it. I take every bit of fun," she

clenched her hands greedily, "every bit of happiness and
laughing I can get to-day. Tomorrow I might get run
over by an automobile."

"You don't want to settle down? Have a family?"

Lupe flung her arms up, laughed aloud. "Me?. No, no.
I am not the type. To do that, you plan ahead. I won't.
Being free — that's what I want. That's why I broke with
Gary."

She paused, struck by a thought. Her eyes grew intense,
angry. "And I did break with him. I read these stories —
about how his family made him leave me. Nobody could
have made Gary leave me. I left him."

YOU read, not many weeks ago,
how her jinx again caught up with

her car skidded on the wet pavement
and struck a palm tree, throwing her
against the top of the car, injuring

Estelle was rushed to the Holly-

who stitched it was surprised at his

mined to discount her in-
juries— when, suddenly,
she began to have unbear-
able headaches. Finally,
reluctantly, she had X-rays
taken, and they showed
that she had a fracture of
the cervical vertebrae. In
plain English, she had bro-
ken her neck!

On the very day that she
intended to accept Univer-
sal's offer of a big role in
"Night Club," they sus-
pended her by the neck in a
leather harness for an hour
to get the dislocated bones
back into place before fit-
ting on a plaster cast. Even
then she would not take an

anaesthetic. "It's my neck and my

hanging," she told

them spunki-

ly. "and I cer-
tainly should have

some say about

how it's to be

done."

The plaster

cast they put

around her neck

shrank so much

that she could

hardly swallow.

her throat made

her ill. For three

days she could

not eat anything.

without ceasing from night to morn-

sleeps, they pack her rigidly into
place with sandbags, lest a sudden
movement undo all the healing of
weeks.

Estelle's jinx has prevented her,
before this, from doing things she had
hoped to do — but it never yet has
caught Estelle down on her luck.
That's why she has received hundreds
of telegrams and letters and flowers,
and why she has a steady procession
of callers. Noel Scott, the chauffeur
who was driving the car when it
skidded, comes remorsefully to bring
her presents of cream puffs. A prop-
boy at a studio invented a reading
stand that can be suspended over her
head. But Estelle is waiting for one
message that hasn't yet arrived.

When her acci-
dent was first
headlined in the

went to see Jack
Dempsey. He
told them how
sorry he felt for
Estelle, and de-

it. But to date

By MADGE CARVEL

CHARLES BICKFORD, big, red-
headed he-boy of the studios,
has gone in for lacy things with pink
and blue bows on them — but smile,
darn you, smile, when you say those
words. In short, Charlie has opened
one of those shops where they sell
little pastel underthings to the ladies.
Yes, you read it correctly — Bickford
is the name. The same lad who spoke
his mind to Cecil B. de Mille (who's
usually "yessed") and got so he-
mannish about his roles that M-G-M
figured they couldn't stand the virility
and let his option lapse.

But Charlie isn't worrying. He's
doing parts at all the studios now,
and lit- lias a new and profitable side-
line. The very dainty and delicate
shop on Hollywood Boulevard is
called The Mouse of liicksrorm —

as well as in hogs, Charlie
is all for it.

He got the idea for the
shop a couple of years ago
wlu-n he was being inter-
viewed by a gushing lady
reporter. She asked him
what he would like to do

Because he thought it
would be a silly answer to

Ready For Comeback

After Tropic Exile

Handsome Young Actor, Who Dis-
appeared/' Has Been Living Like A
Native In Tahiti — Renewed Both
Health And Ambition

How Barry Nor-
ton looked when
he entered pictures

BARRY NORTON, who quietly
"disappeared" from Hollywood
about a year ago, is back. When he
left, the handsome young Argentine
actor looked jaded, old beyond his
twenty-four years, with puffy eyes,
thinning hair and fifty pounds of ex-
cess weight that told of movie
parties. He has come back
bronzed, with a new waistline
and a thick crop of hair;
he has lost forty-five
pounds and looks
literally younger
than he did
when he first
entered the
movies
seven years
ago. That's
what "going
native" in
the South
Seas has
done for Bar-
ry Norton.

He had been
"a coming star"
in silent days, but
in talkies he had
worked obscurely in Span-
ish versions — except for a
brief bit in "Dishonored."
Then, without announcing
his intention, Barry quiet-
ly slipped away from the
town that had given him
fame and fortune and then
had taken them away. He
went to Tahiti, in the So-
ciety Islands, and there,
quite deliberately, became
a healthy, happy social
outcast. Now, he is ready

to make a screen come-
back.

been enjoying
"civilized

in white flan-
nels, drinking
highballs, and
dancing to

was in Papeiti." re-

the whites live in the South

there isn't much else to do
to pass the time, according
to white standards. I grew
heavier. I felt no better. It
was very much like Holly-

people in the world. So I left my
white flannels and silk shirts and sun
helmets in Papeiti, and went to one
of the most remote islands. I wore
onlv the parpeo, the native loin cloth.
I learned to spear fish, and went
hunting in the mountains, and swam
and ran on the beaches. They named
me 'Puarenua' — which means 'Horse'
— because I ran so much. I shaved
my head just to make sure I wouldn't
go back and 'beachcomb' in Papeiti
— for the real beachcombing is done
in the saloons there, where white men
loaf and drink and forget, not where
they live the simple, healthy native
life. But I, of course, was called a
'beachcomber' by those others."

At night, the natives go to bed at
eight o'clock. It was then, when the
ghostly tropical moon printed the
patterns of the palms on the native
huts that Barry Norton, screen actor,
sometimes thought of Hollywood —
as of a place so far away that it
seemed a fantastic dream. But the
time came when he was homesick,
when he fought that subtle persua-

SARI MARITZA, Paramount's
newest, youngest, friendliest and
blondest exotic, is just a little
"burned." Here she is, one of
Europe's better-known thrills, be-
coming a star in her first American
talkie — and it turns out that Holly-
wood reporters know nothing about
her except as "the girl Charlie
Chaplin was engaged to last Spring"
or as "the girl who understudied
Dietrich in Berlin" !

If it weren't that San is a friendly,
languorous person, she would prob-
ably have a fit of good, old-fashioned
European temperamentals. But right
from the start, she wants to put us
straight about these two Chaplin
rumors: (i I She is not, and never lias
been, married or engaged to anybody
— including Charlie Chaplin; (2) he
did not attempt to sign her as his
leading lady for his next production.

\s for the rumor that Chaplin pre-
sented her with an elaborate ruby-
and-diamond cigarette case, San
maintains a discreet silence. If
Charlie did give her a gem-studded
case, it was only something to keep
cigarettes in — and not a pledge <>!
romantic interest.

"I was appearing in films in Lon-
don at the tune Mr. Chaplin arrived,"
San explains, her voice reminiscent of
blues singers. "His film, 'City
Lights,' was about to open there, and
he arranged a large party for the
theanc and dancing afterward. He
was kind enough to invite me — and

Carmel Myers, who is Mrs. Ralph Blum
in private life, has temporarily retired
from the screen to await a "blessed event"

By sue Dibble

WHENEVER a movie star is
robbed and the news gets into
the papers, the skeptics cry, "Fake!
It's just a publicity gag!" They said
it about the recent hold-up of Carmel
Myers, when she lost twenty
thousand dollars' worth of
jewelry to "two courteous
burglars." But this was no
fake. Carmel, who is Mrs.
Ralph H. Blum in private life
and is about to become a
mother, received such a shock
that she had to cancel a big
radio contract — because her
voice was gone !

"My husband was out of
town," relates Carmel, "but I
didn't teel nervous — and be-
sides, it wasn't late when my
maid and I came home to the
apartment. The De Sylvas,
across the hall, were out and
nobody heard my scream,
when I saw that burglar
come out of hiding, with a gun
in his hand and a handker-
chief tied across his face.
'Keep still, and I won't hurt
you. Miss Myers,' he said. I
thought ot my baby coming
next May. 'Don't point your
gun at me!' I cried. 'Can't
you see? — I'm going to have a
child!'

"He seemed awfully em-
barrassed, 'We didn't know-
that or we wouldn't have
bothered you,' he said. By
that time his partner had
come m, dragging my maid.
But they didn't mean to turn
back now. They asked me

told them. I stood watching them go
through my things. I kept saying to
myself, 'I mustn't get hysterical. I
mustn't faint. There's only one
thing that's important — the baby.'

"They kept asking, 'How much is
this worth? How much did that
cost?' I tried to answer calmly.
'Please hurry up and go,' I told them.
'Can't you see how I'm trembling?'
I'm afraid I talked like a movie
scenario. 'Sit down and take it easy,
ma'am.' they urged. 'We don't
want anything to happen to you.'
They had evidently read about the
jewelry that movie stars are supposed
to have, because they didn't believe
me when I told them they had all I
owned. 'My money's in-
vested in real estate,' I
apologized.

at my feet than a motion picture
actor!" ton Chaney once told me.
And now his son, Creighton Chaney,
sLx feet two, twenty-five years old, is
going to desert the plumbing profes-
sion to become a motion picture
actor. He has just signed a contract
with RKO, and it is said that the
company has great plans for him.
He is the virile masculine type that
Clark Gable has just made popular
again, which may be one reason for
his being signed; but the main
reason is that he is the son of that
very great actor, Lon Chaney.

" I suppose I have had a sub-
conscious desire for an actor's career
all my life," says young Chaney
simply. " But my lather and 1 talked
it over and agreed that one actor in
the family was enough. If he had

Romance No Stranger To
Elsie Janis, Who Weds At Forty-Two

Actress Love For Mother Did Not Prevent Her Marrying Before, As Rumored —
Groom Is Gilbert Wilson, Sixteen Years Her Junior
By MARION DUGGAN

WHEN Elsie Janis, fa-
mous c om e d i -
enne, recently married
for the first time —
and then married
Gilbert Wilson,
young actor
sixteen years her
junior — the rest
of the world may
have been
surprised, but
not Holly-
wood. The
movie town,
where she had
taken to writ-
ing for the talk-
ies, had seen
the beginning
of the end of
Elsie's long spin-
sterhood — and
knew that it was
not true that her
mother, now dead,
had kept her tal-
ented daughter from
marrying. This was
pure legend, which is
now exploded, after
all these years.

Elsie, herself, used
to say, "Why should
I marry when I have
Jane?" The affection
that existed between
Elsie and her mother
Jane Bierbower.was remark-
able— and no doubt kept
Elsie from feeling the need
of other relationships. But
her Hollywood friends laugh
at the idea that "the Sweet-
heart of the A.E.F." — a title
Elsie earned during the
War — had missed romance
prior to her startling mar-
riage at forty-two to a hand-
some youth in his twenties.
"Why, Elsie has had
more attention and devo-
tion and love than any
other woman I have ever
known," says one of her
most intimate friends, who has known
her from childhood. "Men were
always crazy about her; she has had

iterally dozens of pro-
posals. Her fame
has attracted many
eligible celebri-
ties to her. She
might have mar-
ried a French
duke. She
might have
been the wife

w a r m 1 y
championed
some of
the more

•'Most
people do
not seem to
know that
Elsie was en-
gaged at
least twice — once to a famous ex-
plorer who died of typhoid on a
jungle trip, and once to a French

Acme

aviator who was killed in the War.
Her mother approved of both of them.
"Since Elsie first came to Holly-
wood, she has had attention from
men stars and writers that many a
young girl might envy. Wherever
she went, she was surrounded by a
crowd of men, most of them younger
than she. Several months after
Elsie lost her mother, John Charles
Thomas, the singer, gave a party in
his Hollywood home, and we per-
suaded Elsie to go. At this party she
met a young actor who had been
appearing in the 'Nine O'Clock
Revue' with Julian Eltinge
downtown. He was entirely
unknown, but he was
extremely handsome and
charming, and came from a
fine Chicago family.

"From the moment that
Gilbert Wilson was intro-
duced to Elsie, he was ob-
viously infatuated with her.
From that evening, he and
Elsie were constantly to-
gether. We all knew they
were deeply in love. There
had always been, I think,
something maternal in her
attitude toward her mother,
and we felt that there was
something maternal in her
feeling for Gilbert. But she
was worried by the difference
in their ages.

"She sent him away to
Chicago to test out their
feeling for one another by
absence. She denied rumors
of their engagement, and I
think she tried to deny her own heart
— but couldn't in the end. It may
seem a strange romance to the rest
of the world — a 'June-and-October'
romance — but not to us who know
Elsie Jams. The sixteen-year differ-
ence in their ages means that Elsie is
sixteen years wiser and more charm-
ing than she was in her twenties."

And what does Elsie, herself, say
about her marriage? She intimates
that she and the bridegroom laugh
more than most newlyweds — but
hardly at each other. Already, she
hints, she's inviting the world to
their silver anniversary in 1957.

Elissa Landi's own story

about her Grandmother,

Empress Elizabeitb

known that

the E m-
.pressEHza-
beth was my
grandmother, "
Elissa Landi
told me, "but
I could prove
it to no one until recently,
wb.cn I was given indispu-
table proof.

"To me, it seems odd that
proof should be considered so
necessary. For example: There
cannot be found in the world
to-day a shred of proof that
I've ever been born, and yet
I'm reasonably sure I exist.
There is no proof that the
Countess Landi is my moth
and yet deep down
in my heart I know
this to be true. My
birthplace was
Venice, Italy; and
the fact that the
records were des-
troyed by fire

This is the first story that Elissa Landi has ever
authorized about the fact that she is the grand-
daughter of Empress Elizabeth of Austria—
and contains Elissa s first actual
proof of her royal ancestry, as
told by Elissa, herself

In a story about her in the
February MOVIE CLASSIC,
titled "The Most Baffling
Redhead," the statement was
made that Elissa Landi was
the granddaughter of Em-
press Elizabeth, and added,
"But she said nothing, and
wished nothing to be said."
Elissa has since changed her
mind. Here, for the first and
last time, she breaks her
silence in the controversy as
to whether or not she is re-
lated to Em-
press Eliza-
beth.—Editor.

By birthright, Elissa is a Princess —

and looks and acts the part, without

trying

It's easy to see whose grand-
daughter Elissa is! Note her
resemblance to the late Empres
Elizabeth of Austria, above

leaves me strangely unmoved.
Nor am I worried or impressed
by the controversy concerning
my mother's relationship to the
Empress Elizabeth. I know the
truth.

"But even though I've been
given proof, I shouldn't have
spoken about the matter if
there hadn't been an unwar-
ranted and totally unexplain-
able attack on my mother and
myself by an utter stranger, an
American woman who married
a prince. We simply can't figure
out why she should have written
that article about us. We
couldn't have offended her. We
don't know her from Adam!

hurt me through this attack,

num. Even it" her statements had been

true, I should not have been injured,
tor 1 live in the present and look to the
future, not to the past. 1 suppose I'll
never discover her motive. Human
beings do strange things at times.

How Elissa Resembles Elizabeth

BUT alter a moment of thought,
Elissa added compassionately. '"Per-
haps she needed the money, and in
similar circumstances I might have
done the same thing." So like Elissa!
For while she detests crowds of all
descriptions, she harbors great under-
standing and compassion for human-
ity. Which is only one of the many
traits she has in common with her
grandmother, the Empress Elizabeth
of Austria.

Trulv remarkable is the resemblance
between Elizabeth and Elissa, who,
by the way, was
christened Eliza-
beth and, when a
child, shortened
her name to Elissa.
Photographs of
Elissa and the
Empress reveal a
striking physical
likeness. Elizabeth
did, and Elissa
does, fervently be-
lieve in aristocracy
— Elizabeth in the
aristocracy of
blood, Elissa in
the aristocracy of
brains. They tally
in everythi.ig. from
their subtle arro-
gance and beauty
to the reddish gold
of their glorious
hair. The Empress
Elizabeth was pro-
foundly intelli-
gent, a world-re-
nowned Greek
scholar, a lover of
the music of Wag-
ner, and an expert
horsewoman. At
theage of six Elissa
actually confound-
ed priests by her
theological ques-
tions, at the age of
ten she was an ac-
complished Greek
scholar, an expert
horsewoman, and
Wagner was one
of her gods.

Improbable, you
say, in a child so
young? Perhaps,
but only until you
know the electric,

Elissa Landi discloses the truth about her ancestry in
answer to an attack on her mother and herself

greater lover, his

Handwriting reveals

Louise Rice, famous graphologist, here tells you more
about Clark Gable from his handwriting than you ever
knew from just seeing him on the screen. Did you know,
for instance, that he has not yet really found himself —
and that his love nature is now subdued, but in time will
become intense?

By Louise rice

'111. \ I tirst received the letter from
Clark Gable which you see repro-
duced herewith, I almost thought
that he was playing a joke on me and
that two people had written it instead of one. For
the little curled "i" dot in his handwriting shows
that he has a good sense of humor and enjoys a joke,
either on himsell or on someone else.

Look closely at the reproduction of his letter to me
and notice the words '"much," "your,"' "of my hand-
writing" and then compare them with the other words in
this iii. re. See how different these words are from the r< st
of the words in his letter - these are closely spaced and
somewhat angular and much tinner in pressure, while the
others are widely spread in the spacing of the small letters,
nmre rounded, and with a less even basic line.

I" those ot you who do not know Graphology, this will
not tell very much about this interesting personality. To
me, it shows that Clark Gable has practically two per-
;liries one, the laughing, magnetic man who sets all
feminine hearts aflame when he appears on the screen,
whether he is lighting or making love; the other the men-
tal, reasoning type which very few of Ins friends know
much about, except the few to whom he shows his real

sell, his everyday self.
If you will look at

There were only nineteen
words in the note that
Clark Gable penned Louise
Kin- hut they told her his
lite story

his tightly closed capital "D" in the word "Dear," it will
show you th. ii there is reserve in his nature and a certain
secrecy about his intimate thoughts and feelings, in spite
ol his ability to he talkative and friendly when he chooses.

though, when
he goes to a
Hollywood
opening? He'll
soon be going
to see himself
in "Limpy"

Wide World

He's only eight years old — but he's a full-fledged star, with a
weekly salary running up into the thousands, and gets as much
fan mail as Clark Gable. So far as the public is concerned, he
hits the bull s-eye. But what of Hollywood — what is the ver-
dict of the people closely associated with him? To them, is he a
great actor or merely a precocious child? Do they think he's a
typical boy — or that he s spoiled? Here s what they say,

confidentially!

COMPILED BY DOROTHY MANNERS

ACK OAKIE: "Cooper? He slays me. I'm tellin' you, the

kid kills me! He works from the ticker, if you know what I

mean — he's got the old heart-beat in everything he does.

He tore me to pieces in 'The Champ' and I went back twice

tor more. When he sticks out that underlip of his, he just wraps

me up and puts me away. There's something about a protruding

underlip that just naturally seems to go with 'It.' Maurice

Chevalier's got it, so has Doug Fairbanks. Cooper? Say, he's

my favorite actor of the bunch!"

0. 0. Mclntyre (quoted from his syndicated column): "I'm
growing just a little tired of going to the movies and listening to
the loud bawling over Jackie Cooper."

Richard Dix: "He's the greatest actor on the screen. He's so
darned great that no other actor can hold his own against
him. I know. I tried. Off the screen, he's just a normal
little boy. On the screen, he's the best little scene-stealer
in the business."

Sally Eilers: "I know Jackie only from his work on the
screen, so I can't say whether or not his great success has
spoiled him. But surely he can't be the happy, normal
sort of little boy he would have been if Hollywood hadn't
happened to him. Somehow it just doesn't seem to be in
the cards. When grown people can't stand it, how in the
world can we expect a youngster to do so? If he can suc-
cessfullv stand the pace of having thousands of his pictures
taken and published, and of having his opinions quoted to
the world, and all the other flattery of movie stardom,
without even being a little changed by it — he's one kid in
a million. But perhaps he is!"

Wally Gives the Low-Down

WALLACE BEERY: "Don't let anybody tell you
Jackie is a genius, or any other kind of a freak. He's
just a great little boy who personifies all the little boys in
the world and he can get it over. If Jackie were a genius, he would have done
that last great crying scene in 'The Champ' from within — without quite
knowing how or why he did it. But Jackie knew why he did that scene: we
told him 'Red' Golden, his idol and assistant director on the film, had been
fired! It was a dirtv trick to play oh the kid because we knew he'd take it
hard. He took it just as any other normal kid would take the news of a lost
pal — and that's what you saw on the screen. That alone should prove that
Jackie isn't any spoiled child prodigy. He's just a healthy, normal little
boy who happens to be a born actor."

RICARDO CORTEZ— Hollywood's man without
a country — has at last ended the mystery about
himself. Everyone knew that Ricardo Cortez
<. was not his real name. But no one knew any-
thing more about him, except that he was one of the best
picture-stealers in the business. His true name, his na-
tionality, his birthplace — all were matters of conjecture.
But here is the story of what this excellent actor has suf-
fered all these years by his unintentional masquerade —
and how he has gladly revealed his real story:

What is known in the jargon of the movies as "a fat
part" awaited somebody at RKO recently. Studio officials
talked it over. In their respective opinions, there was onlv
one man to play it — Ricardo Cortez. But would he?

The role under discussion was that of the young Jewish
doctor in Fannie Hurst's new story, "Symphony of Six
Million." A great acting part, this doctor — but would
Cortez, whose Latin name was known to be assumed,
whose background and ancestry had been invented to fit
that name, whose very life had been altered by the mas-
querade— would Cortez play a Jew?

Someone finally had the good sense to ask him. The
question was put bluntly, "Would you consider plaving a
ew?

"Certainly. Why shouldn't I? / am a Jew." There was

pride in the simplicity of Ricardo Cortez' answer
— the pride of his race, a race that has survived
thousands of years of oppression and suffering.
But Hollywood was aghast when it heard the
story. Hollywood is always aghast at honesty —
at any gesture that throws aside sham and pre-
tense.

Of course, Hollywood has long accepted as a
fact the assumption that Ricardo Cortez enjoyed the
real-life role he had assumed. Some even believed he was
ashamed of his real ancestry and preferred to pose as the
romantic figure his false biography made of him. No one
publicly challenged Cortez, however. Remember, this is
Hollywood, where to express disbelief of any man's story
only invites disbelief of your own.

Rumors About His Real Name

THERE have been rumors, naturally. There are al-
ways rumors in the film fraternity. It was said that
Cortez' real name was| Jack Kranz, Jake Kranzmeyer,
even Abie Katz. Any number of yarns flew the rounds
concerning his early life. Some of these tales were un-
pleasant in their implications. Perhaps you, too, have
heard a few of them.

Put yourself in this man's shoes. It is commonly known
that your name is fictitious. There are all sorts of wild
tales about your real history. What are you to do? Ob-
viously, you can't climb to some housetop to shout, "They're
all lies." You can't go around belligerently, saying to
everyone you meet, "I know what you're thinking of me.
You believe I'm trying to delude you, to make a fool of
you with this fanciful tale of Latin romance. It's a lie."

Ricardo Cortez Reveals Who He Really Is!

{Continued from page 5<5)

You couldn't follow such courses of pro-
cedure. Neither could Ricardo Cortez. You
would have to wait until somebody asked
you. And therein rests the only reason why
Cortez hasn't told the facts of his case until
now. No one ever asked him.

Even those who are his close personal
friends have been strangely reticent in dis-
cussing the Cortez myth. They have avoided
it as something tabu. Others have pre-
ferred to remain merely acquaintances be-
cause they believed the man to be living a
lie ot his own invention and despised him
for it. Ric knows his legend has cost him
many friendships. He is not popular as
popularity is rated in Hollywood. People
dislike him without ever having met linn.
As a consequence, he lives a quiet life in
■ comparative retirement.

As neither friend nor foe confronted him
with a direct question, what was there for
him to say? All the talking has been done
behind his back, never to his face. 1 tell
you, no one ever asked him.

"Tired of the Sham"
"T OFTEN wished someone had," Ric

1 says. "I am as tired as anyone of the
sham. For nearly ten years, I have been a
man without a country — without a race —
without a history. My birthplace has been
variously reported as Vienna, Madrid, Rio
de Janeiro and heaven knows where else.
Stories of my life have been so contradic-
tory, even I am confused. I am Cortez, the
First, without parentage, background or
history, other than what has been given me
by the imaginative inventions of press-
agents. I have been a character of pure
fiction, manufactured out of whole cloth.
No one has known who I really am and
where I came from. It is time the truth was
told.

"I know people have believed that I want
to continue the masquerade — that I am
ashamed to admit what is true. I neither
desire to continue the fiction nor have I
anything of which to be ashamed. I am
proud of my ancestry. I revere my mother
and the memory of my father. I honor the
blood of the Jewish race that flows in my
veins. I want my birthright."

Another Jacob sold his lor a mess of pot-
tage, you remember!

"My name was Jacob Kranz. It was
legally changed to Ricardo Cortez when I
entered pictures. But it was Jacob Kranz
when I was born in Hester Street, on the
East Side of New York City. My father
was from Hungary, my mother from Aus-
tria. It is from my mother's side that I get
my Jewish blood. My father was as blonde
as I am dark."

The fictional stories of Cortez have al-
ways painted him as a dramatic figure,
raised in luxury. There have even been
hints of royalty in his lineage. Be that as it
may, there is more drama in the true story.
There isn't a more dramatic spot on the
globe than New York's turbulent East Side
— "the melting pot of races."

It was there that young Jacob Kranz was
raised. He went to school and worked
after school was out. He sold newspapers
and performed all the other tasks boys of
his class generally do. Between times he
helped his father in the Kranz clothing store.
When the boy was sixteen, his lather's death
made him the head of the family.

"Ever since I can remember, I wanted to
be an actor," he says. "When the oppor-
tunity came my way, I became a super at
twelve dollars a week. 1 had no lines to
speak — was merely given a Hag to carry
across the stage. It was a French flag and I
won the job because I looked French.

"A short time later, a friend gave me a

letter of introduction to Marshall Neilan,
the screen director. He talked to me at
length and gave me a part in a Marguerite
Clark picture. I went home trembling with
my joyous news — to find my father critically
ill. He died in three days. Three weeks
later, my sister died. I never played the
role.

"It was many months before I again
thought of acting; I resolved to gamble
everything on the lone chance of making
good in Hollywood. Armed with a letter to
Jesse Lasky, I left New York."

Lasky received the applicant with cour-
tesy, but held forth no hopes. Other pro-
ducers were sought out with a similar lack
of success. It looked like the career of Jack
Kranz, actor, was to be of short duration.
One night, a very unhappy young man ac-
cepted the invitation of some friends to join
them on a party at the Cocoanut Grove. A
dancing contest was a feature of the evening.
One of the young ladies in Kranz's party
wanted to enter and he became her partner.
They won. The following day, Lasky sent
for him.

"My wife saw you dancing at the Grove
last night," he said. "She believes that
you have a future on the screen."

Apparently Lasky was willing to back his
wife's judgment. He talked contract. The
question of salary arose. "How does $75 a
week sound to you?" Lasky asked.

"You know best what I am worth. I will
abide by any decision you make," was the
reply. The boy tried not to show that the
sum mentioned seemed like a fortune.

"That's the spirit," Lasky applauded.
"We'll make it a hundred." Upon five dif-
ferent occasions after that, Lasky volunta-
rily tore up an existing contract and wrote a
new one. It was not long before the weekly
pay check read 81250. Jack Kranz entered
pictures during the era of Latin love. Ru-
dolph Valentino had just broken his con-
tract with Paramount and in the dark-com-
plexioned newcomer, the company believed
it had a second Valentino.

There have been a half-dozen stories con-
cerning the selection of Ricardo Cortez as a
name for the new actor Lasky signed. The
most commonly accepted report says he was
named from two cigar bands. Lasky didn't
like the name of Kranz. He suggested a
change and found the boy perfectly agree-
able. "We'll let the girls find you a name,"
Lasky said and walked to the outer office
where sat his two secretaries.

From many suggestions the combination
of Ricardo Cortez was evolved. It sounded
romantic and seemed to fit the bill. Next
day the publicity department announced
that Jesse Lasky had made a new discovery,
a dashing, dazzling, Latin sensation, one
Ricardo Cortez.

Living up to his name has caused Ric more
grief than is possible to detail here. Writing
his biography was a press-agent's holiday.
There were no facts to hamper an imagina-
tive mind. Any incident required could be
invented on the spur of a moment.

But imagine the actor's embarrassment
upon being confronted by interviewers!
"Where were you born?" they all began and
his answer had to be, "Ask the publicity de-
partment for my biography." And when
representatives of the foreign press called,
his embarrassment was twofold. Supposedly
a Spaniard, he could not speak a word of
Spanish!

A sense of loyalty to his employers un-
doubtedly motivated Ricardo Cortez in the
deception he practised during his first years
on the screen. 1 am willing to wager that
you would have done the same, had you
been in his shoes. Unfortunately, by the

homes of the wealthy?

Obviously the 25^ price could not appeal to a woman
who has her own box at the opera. Or to a man who t
his family annually to Palm Beach.

Listerine Tooth Paste has won its way into their homes
simply on its merits. By the quality that the very name
Listerine guarantees. And by results that are clearly
apparent.

If you have not tried Listerine Tooth Paste do so now.
Note how thoroughly, how swiftly it cleans. Contained
in it are ultra-modern cleansing agents. Dissolved in saliva
they reach every surface of the tooth. Even penetrating
between teeth — removing tartar, decay, discolorations,
and stains.

Note the wonderful brilliance and luster that Listerine
Tooth Paste imparts to your teeth. Special polishing
agents, superfine in texture, produce this effect. Yet never

once do they mar precious enamel.

Note, t( » p, the pleasant taste and refreshing
feeling and mouth invigoration that follows

lightful, clean feeling that you associate with
Listerine i:

When we created Listerine Tooth Paste, it
was with the pledge to ourselves that it would
be exceptional in quality. That it would be
equal if not superior to dentifrices co
much more. We have made no claims for 11
except that it will cleanse teeth swiftly,

How Do

Sportswomen

Manage?

Cup winners can't be quitters — what-
ever the time of month. The woman who
competes for honors in any field of sport
must take her sporting chance with
Nature. Any strenuous match may sud-
denly bring on her sickness. A busy season
of practice and play makes no allowance
for discomfort or pain of menstruation.
Midol will meet this emergency ■ — as
many active women know. Midol tablets
have emancipated women from the dread
of regular pain — from the need of giving
in to such suffering — from suffering at all.

Do you realize that a woman who takes
Midol just before her time to suffer will
menstruate without one twinge of pain?
That even though the pains have caught
her unawares, Midol will stop them with-
in seven minutes? And that Midol is as
harmless as the aspirin you take for a
headache?

No matter how hard a time you have
always had, Midol carries you through
your monthly periods in perfect comfort.
Don't stand in the dark. Don't doubt a
discovery which has been verified by the
medical profession and proven to the
satisfaction of more than a million women.
Your druggist has these tablets in a slim
little box that fits the smallest purse or
pocket. Just ask for Midol.

Hollywood Gives Its Slant
on Jackie Cooper

(Continued from page 3

Jackie Coogan will always be the 'child
genius' of all time — but little Jackie Cooper
is a wonderful actor. His great appeal, f
believe, lies in the fact that he does not im-
press people as a child artist. He is just a
regular little boy."

Tallulah Bankhead: "Haven't you heard
about Jackie and me? He's my beau. At a
dinner party given by Joan Crawford and
Doug, Jr., he was my dinner partner. We
got along great — both of us ate fried chicken
with our fingers. My boy-friend was going
good until about ten o'clock, when he began
to get sleepy. He's the first beau 1 ever had
who 'faded' on me that soon."

Gives Credit to Mrs. Cooper

DOUGLAS FAIRBANKS, JR.: "ft
isn't a lot of fun to be a kid actor — I
know from experience. It isn't a normal,
particularly happy life for a boy. But I
think Jackie Cooper comes the closest to
living a regular he-boy life with a kid's nor-
mal outlook of any screen youngster I've
ever met. A great deal of the credit for this
belongs to Mabel Cooper, Jackie's mother.
She never permits him to be smarty or
show-off with grown people. Another thing,
she doesn't make the mistake of 'supervising'
his every movement. When Jackie plays
with the kids in his neighborhood, he's just
one kid among many on the football team.
Mabel isn't scared to death he is going to
hurt himself — as most movie mamas are."

Billie Dove: "There's no one on the screen
like him. To me he's more thrilling than
Clark Gable, Robert Montgomery and all
the other fascinating actors of the moment.
If I were a little girl, I'd like awfully much
to be Jackie's best girl-friend."

Mayme Ober Peake (columnist and
writer): "Jackie invited me to go to the
movies with him one night. When we got
to the box-office, he asked solemnly, 'Who
is going to pay for the tickets?' I told him I
was. 'Well,' he said, very seriously, 'please
don't get the expensive seats.' I thought he
was trying to save me money and assured
him that I could really afford the loges.
'Yes, ma'am,' he agreed, 'but I can't see
that far back. Pardon me — but I guess I'm
too short.'

Mitzi Green: "It isn't true that Jackie
Cooper and myself are 'engaged.' We are
just good friends."

Erie von Strolieim: "As a rule, I do not like
child actors. They bore me beyond words.
But years have nothing to do with the talent
of Jackie Cooper. He is a great actor. He
has a great natural talent that comes along
for the movies just once in a great while.
Many actors a great deal older than Jackie
could take tips on technique from him."

Hollywood Newspaper Woman: "Once I
was talking to Jackie and it seemed to me
he gave me a rather flippant answer to a
question. Several people standing around
who overheard immediately started to say
that Jackie was beginning to be spoiled by
his attention and flattery. But there is a
little boy who lives next-door to me — a
child who hasn't had Jackie's success and
fame — who can get equally fresh upon occa-
sion. If Jackie were painfully polite all the
time, he just wouldn't be an American boy.
If he were constantly watching his 'man-
ners,' he would be more of an unnatural
youngster than he could ever be by 'talking
up' once in awhile. How many non-profes-
sional children do you know who are 'little
gentlemen' all the time?"

Clara Bow: "Over a period of years there
have been many candidates for 'It' — but if
anybody else is ever going to fall heir to that
title I hope it's Jackie Cooper. He has 'It.' "

Loitella Parsons (movie columnist for
Hearst papers): "This child's tremendous
success is a boon to Hollywood movie pro-
ductions. His popularity is proof that the
public was growing very weary of smutty,
suggestive pictures. Let's hope the pro-
ducers take a tip from it."

Advice to Ambitious Mothers

BEN TIIA U (casting director at M-G-M,
Jackie's home studio): "If only all the
other movie mamas in the world would real-
ize that their offspring weren't Jackie Coop-
ers! One of the real tragedies of any kid's
success on the screen is the flock of ambi-
tious mothers he attracts to the casting of-
fices of the studios. Jackie is one in a million
— but try to make other kid geniuses' moth-
ers realize this! They bring in these poor
little kids with their hair artificially curled
and their lips painted and rouged and insist
they are great artists like Jackie Cooper.
Most of these children are old before they
ever have a chance to be young — victims of
maternal ambition. All I can say to the
movie-greedy mothers all over the country
is: Don't bring your young genius to Holly-
wood. Jackie Cooper is one in ten million!"

James Cagney: "Kid Cooper sat in front
of me at a Hollywood premiere the other
night. I got a bigger kick out of seeing him
in person than I would have if Garbo had
come in and sat down beside me. Coop's
got personality even in the back of his neck.
Once during the show he turned around in
his seat and smiled at me! That's the nicest
compliment I've had since I've been in
Hollywood."

And believe it or not — but even Garbo
was seen to wave to Jackie one morning from
her dressing-room!

Ricardo Cortez Reveals Who He Really Is!

(Continued fr

time he left Paramount and the necessity for
his continuing the masquerade vanished,
people had ceased to ask him about himself.
Acquaintances were alienated by the hoax.
Even his friends avoided the subject, be-
lieving him to be satisfied with things as
they were.

When Ric returned to pictures after two
years of voluntary exile while he nursed his
beloved wife, Alma Rubens, he achieved an
immediate screen popularity that far over-
shadowed his former success in silent films.
1 [e again became copy for the press, but the
Cortez fable was so well-established that
either out of courtesy to the man or because
it was no longer news, inquiring reporters

■oin page 58 )

did not inquire. Had they but known it, a
real story was trembling on the tip of his
tongue — waiting, just waiting, for someone
to ask.

Then, after nearly ten years, a chap,
braver than his fellows, broached the tabued
topic with the question, "Will you play a
Jew?"

And the simple, dignified reply, "Cer-
tainly. / am a Jew."

A man without a country asserted him-
self. Gone was the great impersonation —
gone all pretense and the necessity ol loy-
alty in silence. A man stood revealed, de-
manding his birthright. At last — someone
had asked him!

54 women told their doctors, "I cant use soap" ... 52 of them now use Woodbury's!

Clinic, they lounel that many women were not
anxious to entrust their delicate complexions
to any soap, no matter how tine.

?4 ol the 612 women who took part in the Clinic
said, very . at first, " I cannot use soap

on my skin. It is too dry and sensitive."

" ^ es, ' the dermatologists agreed, "your skin
IS dry. It IS sensitive. Certainly you could
not use a strong or harsh soap. Hut . .

fine soap. Its use will improve the tone of your
skin and so correct that abnormal sensitiveness."

So these 54 women, along with 558 others, took
part in the dermatologists' "Half-face Test."
For 50 consecutive days, each woman went on
cleansing the left side ot her face with her usual
soap, cream or lotion. On the right side, she
used Woodbury's Facial Soap.

Clinical skin examinations made at the end ol
the test revealed, conclusively, the superior
action of Woodbury's. In 79' of the cases, the
Woodbury side ol the face showed a marked
improvement over the side treated with other,
and more expensive, preparations. I ven nor-

along the lines of a serial. (Col.)

Business and Pleasure

Based on Booth Tarkington's novel, "The Pluto-
cr.it," this reveals Will Rogers as a razor-blade
magnate on a visit to Turkey and the bearded sheiks.
Artificial and jerky, with the humor forced. (Fox)

Cheaters at Play

When ex-crooks meet an ex-police chief, what
happens ? Thomas Meighan and William Bakewell
run up against James Kirkwood on board a ship—
and show you, entertainingly enough. (Fox)

Cock of the Air

Gay nonsense about an actress who almost stopped
the World War, and an American aviator who set
out to tame her — with Billie Dove and Chester
Morris clowning as they never have before. (U. A.)

The Expert

Though starring Chic Sale, don't think the story
is based on "The Specialist.'' Chic turns in a great
characterization as the tottering war-horse of Edna
Ferber's tale, "Old Man Minick." (W. B.)

The Final Edition

The year's first newspaper play, but hardly the
last — giving you still another slant on the life of a
newspaper man (Pat O'Brien). More melodramatic
than realistic. (Col.)

Fireman, Save My Child

The screen's most wholehearted clown — Joe E.
Brown — has a good time pretending to be a Don
Juan in a red shirt. It's silly, but the fun is con-
tagious. (F. N.)

Freaks

Do the misshapen beings of the circus sideshows
also have emotions ? If you have the strength to see
what happens to a trapeze artiste (Baclanova) when
:-he betrays one of them, you'll say. "Yes "— and shiv-
er. L'nusual and sensational — and horrifying.
(M-G-M)

The Gay Caballero

Victor McLaglen plays Robin Hood in the wild,
wild West, with George O'Brien for a pal — and there's
plenty of hard ridin' and fightin' and lovin'. Above-
the-average Western. (Fojc)

Girl Crazy

One of Broadway's better musical comedies —
with the usual plot, but better-than-usual humor-
gets a good break at the hands of Wheeler and Wool-
sey, Eddie Quillan and Dorothy Lee. (RKO)

Girl of the Rio

Dolores Del Rio returns to the screen, after a
year's absence, as beautiful as ever, and a better
actress. The story, however, is one of those typical

Mexican-border triangle things. (RKO)

The Greeks Had a Word for Them

Ina Claire. Madge Evans and Joan Blondell show
vou all you need to know about gold-digging in New
York. A wise, witty comedy— but if only the censors
had spared their shears! (U. A.)

Hell Divers

Wallace Beery proves again that he's one of the
world's best actors— and submerges Clark Gable—
in this dramatic spectacle of Uncle Sam's naval air
fleet and the men who wear its uniforms. (M-G-M)

Hell's House

The title indicates the reform school to which
voung Junior Durkin is sent for idolizing Pat
O'Brien, bootlegger. It will make your blood boil
about "reform" schools. (Capitol)

Hotel Continental

Like "Grand Hotel." although the authors claim
that their story was written earlier, this shows you
a vivid cross-section of life by showing you the drama
of a big hotel. Peggy Shannon stands out. (Tiffany)

The Impatient Maiden

Unable to marry, a young hospital interne and his
office-girl sweetheart almost let life cheat them of
what they deserve. Fine acting by Lew Ayres and
Mae Clarke in a human, sincere story. (Univ.)

Ladies of the Jury

Edna May Oliver lends her wry humor (and her
sniff!) to a whimsical conception of a court trial and a
jury's deliberations. Not only amusing, but differ-
ent. (RKO)

Lady With a Past

Planning for her future, a society girl goes to Paris
to acquire a "past" — and the result is not a heavy
problem drama, but a clever, sophisticated comedy.
Constance Bennett has never been more herself.
(RKO-Pathe)

The Lost Squadron

This picture is a regular bomb, so far as Holly-
wood is concerned — for it tells the inside story of
how men have to risk their lives to make air pictures.
Exciting drama, starring Richard Dix. (RKO)

Lovers Courageous

A quiet, but affecting little love story about a
struggling young playwright and a wealthy girl who
gives up her family and wealth to marry him. Made
real by Robert Montgomery and Madge Evans.
(M-G-M)

The Menace

One of the many mystery thrillers from the pen of
the late Edgar Wallace, about a "dead" man who
comes back. Blood-and-thunder stuff, with H. B.
Warner and Walter Byron. (Col.)

The Passionate Plumber

Buster Keaton, plumber, is hired as Irene Pur-
cell's "cardboard lover," but misunderstands his
assignment — with the sequel hilarious, though
rough. P. S.— Jimmie Durante falls for Polly Moran!
(M-G-M)

Polly of the Circus

Marion Davies breaks away from comedy to make
a talkie version of the w.-k. story about the circus
star who falls in love with a minister (who's Clark -
Gable, this time). Nothing new, but well done.
(M-G-M)

The Road to Life

The first Soviet talkie — a graphic picturization of
what happened to the "wild children" that infested
Russia after the revolution. Unusual, with sub-
titles in English. (Amkino)

The Scar

One known as "Scarface" and "The Shame of a
Nation," this looks like the last word in gangland
pictures. Paul Muni adds the finishing touch to
what you think a gangster is really like. (U. A.)

Service for Ladies

If you were sorry to see Leslie Howard leave
Hollywood, you'll be glad to know that he's the star
of this British-made picture — in the amusing role of
a headwaiter whom women can't resist. (Par.)

She Wanted a Millionaire

Based, I suspect, on the Nixon-Nirdlinger case of
last summer, Joan Bennett's new picture shows her
as a beauty-contest winner who unhappily marries an
elderly millionaire. An effective moral-pointer. (Fox)

The Silent Witness

When Greta Nissen is murdered, and his son is
suspected, Lionel Atwill takes the blame, himself —
until "the silent witness" appears at his trial,
which is packed with suspense. You'll like new-
comer Atwill. (Fox)

Sky Devils

As the title would lead you to believe, this boasts
some spectacular aviation — but in the main it's a
robust comedy about two green rookies (Bill Boyd
and Spencer Tracy), who bluff their way into the
air corps. (U. A.)

The Struggle

D. W. Griffith turns out a sob-"story about what
drink can do to a poor working-man (Hal Skelly),
but overstates his case. (U. A.)

Taxi!

James Cagney gets a real kick out of playing the
part of a fighting young Irish taxi-driver who breaks
up a strike, and treats you to a barrage of wisecracks
and some fast action. (W. B.)

Three Wise Girls

Jean Harlow, Mae Clarke and Marie Prevost ac-
quire wisdom in the big city in The Usual Manner—
but the surprise is that the figurative Jean is the
one who stays unsmirched. (Col.)

Tomorrow and Tomorrow

Ruth Chatterton, childless in her marriage, has
a son by another man (Paul Lukas) — and life goes on.
A poignant triangle story, well acted. (Par.)

Trapped in a Submarine

Half-way between a short and a feature-length
picture, this film reconstructs what happened when
the British submarine, Poseidon, sank. A real-life
chiller. (British International)

Wavward

Like "The Devil's Holiday," Nancy Carroll's new
picture has her married to a chap (Richard Arlen)
whose family try to wreck the marriage. Not so
potent as its predecessor, however. (Par.)

A Woman Commands

Pola Negri makes a big-time comeback in a comedy
melodrama about a commoner who marries a king
and proceeds to do the ruling. Besides emoting,
the deep-voiced Pola sings — very well, thank you.

Preserve the ELASTICITY*
that makes stockings WEAR

DO YOU KNOW7 what causes those ruinous runs?

New stockings are elastic — they give under strain,
stretch and then spring back again. When this pre-
cious elasticity is destroyed, the silk threads, instead
of giving, break under strain. At the least provocation !
It is then that runs start!

That is why Lux is made to preserve the elasticity
that makes the sheerest stockings really wear.

*Tbe Lux Way to make stockings last twice as long

Wash after EACH wearing. Perspira-
tion left in stockings or underthings
will actually ror the silk.

Don't rub with cake soap. It destroys
elasticity, making the silk lifeless, apt
to break into runs. With Lux there's
no rubbing. Even stubborn spots come
out perfectly if you gently press in a
few dry Lux diamonds.

Clark Gable Destined to Be Even Greater
Lover, His Handwriting Reveals

(Continued from page 52)

Clark Gable is what we graphologists
would call a "late maturer" type and the
latter years of his life will be much more
interesting and satisfactory and productive
of results than his past or his present exis-
tence. For he is probably somewhat rest-
less and temperamental and introspective
just now, as he is going through what
our grandmothers used to call "growing
pains" — and those are never very pleasant,
either for the person suffering from them,
or to the people with whom he is asso-
ciated.

Notice the sharp downward stroke in the
words "my" and "your," which shows that
it is not always easy for him to be patient
with the petty annoyances and bickerings
and delays which are bound to crop up in
the making of a motion picture. The person
whose handwriting is large and flowing like
("lark Gable's will never be interested in
small matters, but in things that are con-
structive and progressive and not too slow
in development. The people who deal with
him must be careful not to push him too far
or to be too demanding, for he may rise in
his wrath and tell them where to go without
any mincing of his words.

He can be very kind and pleasant and
adaptable, but has very positive convictions
of his own and can be a little fussy about
some things. At the present time, however,
he is sometimes too introspective and ques-
tioning to feel sure enough of himself and
his abilities, because of this transition period
through which he is now passing. When he
has developed his character, as he is bound
to do in the next few years, then let people
beware of how they try to boss him or force
him to do things that are too piffling! Clear
the track if they do. He will be on his way,
contracts or no contracts; for, while he likes
money, he likes freedom more. When he
meets with understanding and fairness and
is allowed a chance to think for himself,
however, he is almost too emotionally gen-
erous and kind and will return a hundred-
idld what he has received.

What Proves He's Ambitious

HE shows tremendous ambition and
breadth of vision, as you will notice by
the high, full loops of his handwriting — and
he is so alive that it must be hard for him to
be happy unless he is in action. He has great
vitality and energy, which give him the
magnetism that projects itself so powerfully
from the screen ; but he will need change and
variety and plenty of occupation to keep
from getting into unpleasant situations that
are not of his own choosing.

Because of his complex nature, he is
somewhat self -centered and very much in-
terested in some things and careless and in-
different about others. In fact, he may be
called lazy by people who do not understand
this. He is tremendously versatile, as his
handwriting indicates and his diversity of
roles proves, and yet he is simple in his
tastes and almost conservative in his ideas
and ideals.

He sometimes doubts his own ability to
make his dreams become realities and is ex-
tremely sensitive to criticism, although he
has plenty of confidence and assurance in
anything that he feels he thoroughly under-
stands. He will want to have his personal
whims and ideas followed out as he plans
them and is a little irritated by opposition,
although he has common sense and does not
let these whims interfere with his real
ambitions.

Will Be Even Greater Lover

AS to the personal side of his nature,
which is what most of you are waiting
to hear about: he has been so busy growing
up, as it were, that he is not really emotion-
ally ready for expansion. He has a love na-
ture that is not ardent on the surface, but
will become deep and intense in the fullness
of time. There is no question that he can
make a passionate lover on the screen, but
in personal contacts it is harder for him to
be satisfied with too much love-making and
sentiment.

He will always attract interesting, stimu-
lating and unusual women because of his
mixture of the boy and the man — a combi-
nation that appeals to both the love nature
and the mother instinct which all women
possess. He will need love and companion-
ship, but he will also need time to himself
and can put his emotions aside in his interest
in his work when necessary. He belongs to
the Constructive Type — the type who are
always able to keep their work and their
love in separate compartments and seldom
let the one interest interfere with the other,
no matter what arises.

And so we have Clark Gable, as shown in
his handwriting — no saint or paragon, but a
real, red-blooded he-man, with faults and
virtues like the rest of us. He is strong
enough to fight his way to the top, when he
is sure of what he wants to do; weak enough
to need encouragement and praise from
those who really understand and appreciate
his unusual possibilities; sincere enough so
that each year he lives should bring him
greater happiness and success. As the Irish
say, "More power to him."

Who Is Louise Rice?

This simple, convincing analysis of the handwriting of Clark Gable is the first of
an exclusive series that Louise Rice will present in Movie Classic, writing of a
different star each month. Marlene Dietrich comes next!

Miss Rice is America's foremost graphologist, and is world-famous for her studies
of handwriting. She is author of many books on the subject, including "Character
Shown in Handwriting," "Who Is Your Mate?", "By Whose Hand," "New Blood,"
and "The Girl Who Walked Without Fear."

In twenty-five years, more than a million specimens of handwriting have been
analyzed by Miss Rice and a group of trained assistants. She has been consulted in
baffling mysteries by Scotland Yard of England, Surete of Paris, and police depart-
ments throughout the United States. You may remember that she was called in,
only recently, in the Starr Faithfull murder mystery in New York — and asked to
determine if certain letters had been written by the murdered girl or were forgeries.

In short, there isn't anyone who can tell more about character from handwriting
than Louise Rice. — Editor.

ONE POWDER ALONE brings ,«» iL d.\aut,,
of an EXCLUSIVE ALMOND BASE

by Patricia Gordon

Of all face powders only one has
a base of precious almond. That
powder is PRINCESS PAT. The
usual powder base is starch. There
is all the difference in the world
... difference that is expressed in
your beauty. For when you use
Princess Pat face powder, your skin,
too, is given mystical, velvety, aris-
tocratic tone and texture that is
simply inimitable.

ALMOND BASE gives Exquisite Caressing Softness

less! The wonderful almond base gives it — as starch
base never could. And softness is the most important
characteristic of face powder! Princess Pat powder goes
upon the skin with an utterly new, adorable smoothness
. . . because each tiny, invisible particle is softer. You
actually feel the caressing effect of its different texture.
Princess Pat powder has none of the "dustiness" of starch
base powders. Instead it lies closely upon the skin and
clings longer than any other powder you have ever known.

No 'Powdery* Appearance when there is Almond Base

In a way that you will consider magical — and delightful —
Princess Pat powder creates the illusion of a perfect com-
plexion. There is no "powdery" appearance — just beauty.
The almond base — instead of starch — completely avoids
chalkiness. In tin- blending of Princess Pat shades, colors of
supreme delicacy are used . . . the almond base permits.
There is never "hidden chalkiness" in Princess Pat shades.
Instead, the perfectly created pearly hues that are so

gloriously beautiful . . . and youthful.

"1
Almond Base is Good for Your Skin

The a >f t , caressing almond baseof Princess
Pat face powder possesses an additional

advantage. It is of distinct benefit to your

skin, keeping it soft, pliant, fine of texture.

Jean Harlow, film slur, UlustraU ■ the u<lurablc smoothness of Prii

Princess Pat face powder very definitely helps prevent and

correct coarse pores. This instead of drying out the skin,
as do "dusty" powders.

Remember, there is Only One Almond Base Powder

Precious almond used as a powder bas ■ is a Princess Pat
exclusive secret. To enjoy almond base advantages — infinitely
greater beauty, and benefit to your skin — insist
upon genuine Princess Pat. Medium weight in

Is Lupe Velcz Still In Love
With Gary Cooper?

(Continued from page 26)

is of paramount importance, flared up.
" Nobody can dare say Gary left me. I did
it myself. Look! I prove to you ! "

Had to Find Gary's Letters

HEEDLESS of protest, she hurled the
covers back and leapt out of bed. In
bare feet, filmy lace nightgown feebly abet-
ted by a short, scarlet satin jacket over her
shoulders, she rushed to a tall cabinet. "I
prove to you!" she reiterated, pulling open
drawers, tumbling lingerie out onto the
floor.

"My God!" she screamed suddenly.
"Where are they? Where are my letters?"
She raised her voice, importuning alternate-
ly in English and Spanish. From every
direction, excited figures came running. Her
mother, moaning and chattering; a house-
maid, eyes wild; a cook, exclaiming, "Well,
where could you have put them, baby?";
the butler, expressing gentlemanly concern
from the door.

"Where are my letters?" cried Lupe.
And rushed from cabinet to closet, to dresser,
to desk, pulling out drawers, dumping their
contents on the floor. Her hair careened
about her face. The other women ran
futilely after her. Finally, after a mighty
dive into her dressing table, Lupe rose
triumphant.

"I've got them!" she cried, her terrible
furies vanishing in the gentle, happy smile
she turned on the room.

"She's got them," the cry went over the
house. "She's got them" — it was repeated
throughout all the rooms. Abruptly the
pandemonium subsided. Like an operetta
chorus when the number is finished, the
others receded from the room and Lupe,
clutching a huge pile of letters tied in a rib-
bon, clambered back into bed. She hesi-
tated a moment, as if in the excitement she
had momentarily forgotten the purpose.
Then, recollecting, drew out a letter.

What Gary Wrote — After Break

EOK," she said. "Read that." Re-
monstrances were of no avail. She
thrust the letter under my eyes, pointed to
certain lines and read them aloud. "Look.
Look at this. And this," reading passages
of letters written from Europe, heart-
breaking and embarrassing for alien eyes to
look upon. Yes, it was obvious that Gary —
when these were written, which was after
the break — still loved Lupe and hoped she
would marry him. From all over Europe
had come these wistful, pleading letters —
he "prayed that next time he saw Rome,
his little Lupe would be with him; that he
could bring her to Paris as his bride; that
they might honeymoon peacefully through
southern France ..."

"You see now. He loves me. And I loff
him. Never again shall I loff anyone so
much. I loff him as long as I live. If ever
he needed me in any way, I'd go to him. If
he were broke, I'd sell my house, even my
jewelry, to help him. If he were seeck, I'd
go to him if it meant walking tor miles
through storms.

"We had troubles, yes." Her eyes snap-
ped with anger. " It make me so mad to
see him have to work so hard. It make me
furious. Poor sweet boy!

"And now guess what!" she exclaimed,
giving vent to the inevitable little demons
of jealousy present in any feminine heart.
"Now Gary is going with a Countess. She
is crazy about him. She followed him back
to America, the first time he went abroad.
He is with her all the time. She is old. She

is probably forty and her arms are like
this — ' Lupe gave a graphic illustration of
wonderfully fat arms sagging fleshily. "Well,
his mother will be pleased anyway, because
it is a Countess."

She flung herself sideways on the bed,
her face doleful, speculating unhappily on
what might have come to pass, had Gary's
family considered her "good enough for
him." Her simple, honest little heart had
received a wound it would always carry.

Her Life Since Their Parting

MORE than eight months have passed
since Lupe broke with Gary. In the
succeeding interval, she has been pictured
as being gayer than ever, she has seen
Europe, herself, in company with John
Gilbert, and has been widely headlined as
about to marry Randolph Scott. Things
happen to Lupe.

In fact, so fast do things happen to Lupe
that she is several degrees beyond the re-
porter's dream of "good copy." By the
time a breathless interviewer has reached
his office and knocked out the Great Velez
Scoop, Lupe has already forgotten her in-
tent of the moment. It is impossible to
write "spot news" about Lupe. When it
appears, it is just history.

The day I interviewed her, in her huge
bedroom — a room whose decorative scheme
will still be futuristic many years from now
— she happened to be ill, a rare experience
in Lupe's life.

" I had one of my spells. A sinking spell.
Suddenly, I feel all funny like — like an air-
plane in a tailspin, I guess. I didn't get
home till five this morning. Never have I
had so much fun! I laugh — oh, how I
laugh. That is why I am seeck now. I
laugh myself seeck!"

But she wanted to forget herself. What did
I. want — cigarettes, another cushion, a stool
for my feet, a little cognac? "It's so cold
to-day. Have cognac, yes?" A maid re-
sponded to Lupe's commands. From her
deep concern, it was evident that she was
convinced I would be fainting on the spot
if the girl didn't hurry. And then I asked
her about Randolph Scott.

Swears Rumors Aren't True

I SWEAR to you — on the Bible and my
mother's life! — that it is not so! " Thus
Lupe, her voice shaking with rage, indigna-
tion and her cold, denied any intention of
marrying Randolph Scott, wrho was a bit
startled by the rumors, himself.

Lupe's outburst again brought her mother
— a very stout woman with a broad, smiling
face. She joined Lupe in a shrill, excited
conversation in which both appeared to be
talking at once. Their gestures were large,
profoundly excited. Whenever there was,
accidentally, a pause, Lupe's mother re-
lapsed into what seemed a habitual attitude
— hands clasped on ample bosom, eyes
focused in passionate admiration and deep
amazement on this remarkable flower she
had produced and who had precipitated
her simple family into incredible luxury.
When Lupe explained that she was having
an interview, her mother cried out in com-
prehension and trotted from the room, her
wide, kindly face wreathed in polite smiles.

Lupe is now making "The Broken Wing,"
with Melvyn Douglas at Paramount — her
first picture since her return from Europe,
and a picture, incidentally, that was once
scheduled for Gary Cooper. She had never
been to Europe before. How had she liked
it?

delighted with this triumph of subtlety.
"Hello," she siid briskly. "Could 1 speak

Bl .! ' IRE she could go on, Gilbert's \
inescapably audible, charged the 'phone
with a stream of conversation sprinkled with
endearments, intimacies. Lupe's jaw fell,
her eyes grew round with dismay. Her plan
had somehow gone awry — she didn't quite
know why and her unaccustomed subtletj
had deserted her. She didn't know what to
r call in confusion, she hung
up and looked at me in embarrassment.
" Well," she said weakly, " I didn't e i
all that. I don't ..." her voice trailed off
to futility.

Desperately she cast about for something
to distract my attention. "Ever since I
come bai k from Europe, I am happier than
in all my life! I loll Californi i.
I lolT it truly. When I went away, I am
miserable. Mr. Ziegfeld wants me to go

By i he time I left, she was gay, excited,

Wallace Beery tells how it feels to be
Dead for an hour

{Continued from page 25)

frightened. Nor was he amused at the ab-
surdity of the thing. He felt no immediate
desire for action — to deny the story. He
says the closest that words can come to
describing his emotions is to state that what
he felt was — a certain calm ihoughtfulness.

There is a popular belief that the entire
events of a lifetime will flash before the
mind's eye of a drowning man. Something
akin to that happened to Wallace Beery as
he sat there after listening to his own death
notice. People, and places and colors, stored
in the back of his mind since childhood,
flashed into memory in less time than it
takes to tell about them . . . fragments of
his days as a "helping hand" with the cir-
cus . . . his brother, Noah, as a boy . . . his
first great screen hit in "Robin Hood" . . .
the day he fell in love with Gloria Swanson,
his first wife . . . the day he met and loved
Rita, his present wife . . . Hollywood, and
its people in his life . . . the old gateman at
the studio . . . the newspaper boys he
laughed and kidded with.

First Calmed His Wife

LIKE a projectionist gone mad, his mem-
w ory unreeled scene after scene of
thoughts. Just a second it took . . . just
a split-second before he was around the
table with his great, big hand on Rita's
shoulder.

"Now," he chided calmly, "what's this?
Now, now . . ." She began to laugh quietly-
through her tears.

She said: " Like Mark Twain's, the report
of your death has been greatly exaggerated."

Wally smiled. He went over and stood
before the radio that had proclaimed his
death to the world. It had grotesquely
enough gone into a program of dance
melodies after the shocking "news" an-
nouncement. He did not turn it off.

The telephone rang. "Wally, for God's
sake, is this you, Wally?" It was the voice
of his close friend, Eddie Mannix, M-G-M
production executive.

"Yeah," said Wally, because Wally
always says "yeah."

For a moment the man at the other end
of the wire could not speak. Finally he
managed to say "... the radio . . . just
heard something crazy . . . the studio is
wild . . . the newspaper boys are here . . .
their offices are being swamped with calls.
. . . You're all right, Wally?"

"Sure," said Wally. "Tell everybody
everything is all right. See you a little
later on."

He didn't particularly want to talk over
the telephone — even to his best friend. The
drama of the situation still clutched his
imagination. This is what would have hap-
pened if the report hud been true. This is
what would be going on if Wallace Beery
had dropped dead in his dressing-room!

Mannix had said the newspaper offices
were being deluged with hundreds of tele-
phone calls, from strangers, from people
who knew him only on the screen.

Two weeks later when Wally told me
his story, he said that this one fact was
rushed home to him more vividly than any-
thing else: The public really cares!

"Somehow or other," he said, "I'd never
thought of anything along that line to any
great extent. Or if I had, I had always
figured that the folks who write to us, and
stand in large crowds to see us, were just
curious. But in that hour that I was
'officially dead,' I thought of a great many
things that had never occurred to me be-
fore. The whole experience has given me a
different slant on a lot of things.

"I don't want this to sound like bunk,
but somehow I feel a sense of obligation to
the folks who come to see my pictures. Say,
don't make this sound hammy, will you? —
but somehow I want each picture to be
better than the last one. To be clean and
decent and fit for kids to see. I want the
characters I play to be real — not goody-
goody heroes — but honest-to-God real men
like 'The Champ' and Windy in 'Hell
Divers' and the good-hearted bum in 'Min
and Bill.'

"And that's why, so help me God, I was
going to clear out of this business and let
everything go hang before I'd play such a
part as the fat, sensuous German sheik in
'Grand Hotel.' As that role was first writ-
ten, there wasn't one decent thing about
the man; he was rotten. I'd rather quit
than play such a character to throw in the
teeth of those people who — well, called up
and were sorry about me when they heard
the fake news."

For fake news it most certainly was — a
shocking mistake of those who had "tuned
in" on the broadcast without picking up
what had gone before, and "who had, them-
selves, spread the report over the whole city.
The announcer had been telling the plot of
"The Champ," which was playing at a
local theatre, in which story the prize-
fighter played by Wally dies of heart fail-
ure in his dressing-room — and is discovered
dying by his small, worshipful son (Jackie
Cooper). The announcer meant the Wally
of the picture, not the real Wallace Beery
— but his tone was so dramatic and his
choice of words so unfortunate that sixty
minutes passed before the confusion was
cleared away.

What Life Means to Him

Til FY changed that part in 'Grand
Hotel' to suit me," continued Wally.
" I'm not kidding you, and I wasn't kidding
the studio either — I'd rather quit holding
on to that confidence and respect and feel-
ing that people have for me, than play the
rule as it was first written. If my career
can't further that feeling — then my career
is no longer important to me. Just as I
thought to myself, that hour I sat home
thinking over my 'death': 'If it was true
that you had checked out, you'd have gone
with the satisfaction of knowing you'd left
a decent, respectable memory of your work.
That's more than something — it's a lot!'

"I guess you know that Rita and I have
recently adopted three children. A distant
relative of my wife's just died, leaving three
kids — George, who's nine; William, who's
four; and the baby, Carol Anne. I can't
tell you the happiness they have brought
into our lives — and I know we're going to
be proud of 'em. Well, I figure it's just as
much my duty to make them proud of vie.
They've given us something to live for. If
being an actor means I have to play roles
that aren't my style — then I don't want to
be an actor. Life holds too many wonderful
things besides celebrity and a pocketbook.

"I said to Rita the other day: 'If worse
comes to worst, how would you like to go
up to the mountain cabin for the rest of
your life? You and the kids and I and some
bacon and beans and a couple of good horses.
How would you like to pack your ermine
coat away in mothballs, and sell the cars
and rent the house in Beverly Hills?' Say,
do you think for a minute she wouldn't go?

"You bet she would! I learned a lot
about Rita — it was written in her eyes —
when that radio fellow said: 'Wallace Beery
is discovered dead in his dressiyig-room . . .'"

IN Hollywood, we have found that maice-
up's secret of attraction is correct color
harmony in powder, rouge, lipstick and eye-
shadow for each type... for each variation in
blonde, brunette, brownette and redhead.

We proved that off-colors in powder or
rouge or lipstick mar beauty; cause complex-
ion colorings to appear spotty, "loud" and
even grotesque.

Under blazing motion picture lights the
faults of haphazard make-up were quickly visi-
ble. Unseen clashes in color or faulty texture
were picked up by the searching camera lens.

Thus, through this unique experience in
such a trying testing laboratory, with beauty
worth millions at stake, Max Factor, Holly-
wood's genius of make-up, created a new kind
of make-up, based on his discovery of cosmetic
color harmony. 96% of Hollywood'sstars use
Max Factor's, and in every pictuie released

from Hollywood you see its magic beauty
in the loveliness of the stars of the screen.

Now you may share this magic make-up
secret which won the award of the Academy

too proud for deceit, that she invariably
speaks the truth. Hence, if she said to you,
"I am the granddaughter of Elizabeth, the
Empress of Austria," you would believe her
at once, even without that "proof" of
which she speaks so scornfully.

Where Her Detractor Was Wrong

IN her magazine article," Elissa con-
tinued, "this woman made several
misstatements. She said those in Court
circles smiled at the idea of Grandmother's
having a secret daughter. This shall be dis-
proved in a moment. She also claimed that
mother's book, 'The Secret of an Empress,'
was turned down by an Italian publisher — a
statement that is absolutely untrue. I, my-
self, have met the very publisher and heard
him tell of the excitement around his office
the day the manuscript was accepted and
rushed to press, as well as of his consterna-
tion when he discovered that the book could
never be printed in Italy — suppressed by
Hapsburg power.

"I was only seven years old then, but I
remember the meeting distinctly, from my
first curtsey to the publisher's farewell. He
understood Mother's reason for writing it —
to win royal recognition for her children.
The book was eventually published in
England in 1914, but the War prevented
any acknowledgment from the Hapsburgs
— and Franz-Joseph died before the War
was over. Not long afterward, Emperor
Charles, his son, was overthrown, and died
in exile. The monarchy was ended.

"This American woman referred to my
mother's book and to a magazine article, and
vehemently denied a statement that never
was made — that the Emperor Franz-Joseph
was alleged to be my grandfather. I'm sure
that if she carefully re-read the article and
the book, she would discover that they
refrain from any comment on the subject.

" I, myself, do not know definitely wheth-
er or not the Emperor Franz-Joseph was
my grandfather. Those things are so difficult
to prove. I do know, however, that one of
the most glorious things in my grand-
mother's life was her friendship for King
Ludwig II of Bavaria. A few weeks ago,
there came into my possession a sheaf of
letters written to my grandmother by
Ludwig; they were beautiful things, highly
romantic."

And after a moment of silent reverie,
Elissa said that she considered the friend-
ship of Elizabeth and Ludwig one of the
most romantic episodes in history. "They
held secret trysts, hidden away from the
world, on that divine Isle of Roses ..."

The Unhappy Empress

JUST a word of explanation for this
strange friendship between Elizabeth,
the Empress of Austria, and Ludwig, called
"the mad King of Bavaria" — as related to
me by Elissa. Both were of the Bavarian
Wittlesbach stock, independent, freedom-
loving people. And it wasn't long after
marrying the Emperor Franz-Joseph that
Elizabeth discovered it would be utterly
impossible to exist in the atmosphere of
formal restraint and tradition common to
the House of Hapsburg. When one after
another of her first three children were
taken from her to be reared by the stern
Archduchess Sophia, she became disgusted,
and determined that her next child should
be raised away from Court and that until
then she would seek escape, herself, in a life
of lonely, but comparatively pleasant
travel.

In the meantime, Ludwig hoped to for-
get his love for Elizabeth by becoming
engaged to her sister, Helen. A remarkable
resemblance existed between the two sis-
ters; but nevertheless Ludwig found it
impossible to forget. At odd hours of the
night, he would awaken Helen — not £0
mention her long-suffering father, Duke
Max — and then, without waiting for her to
dress and come down to the salon, he would
toss a bouquet of roses on the piano and
dash madly out into the night. No wonder
Ludwig was called mad! But it is obvious
that his eccentricities developed from a
futile desire to forget his all-consuming
passion for Elizabeth.

Finally, the Empress and the "mad"
King found mutual healing in opening their
hearts to one another. They chose as their
meeting place the Isle of Roses, situated in
the Lake of Starnburg between Feldafing
and Munich. Hour after hour, they con-
versed in that little summer house in the
center of the Isle, shielded by thousands of
the loveliest roses in existence, the scent
from which wafted even to the mainland.

Faithful to the End

LUDWIG went to the isle on his steam
-j yacht, Tristan, while Elizabeth in-
variably hired a boat of her own. If for any
reason Elizabeth should arrive at the
tryst ing place and Ludwig could not
appear, being prevented by affairs of state,
she would write him a tender note, sign it
"The Dove," and leave it in a secret hiding
place. Likewise, if Ludwig arrived at the
Island only to find Elizabeth absent, he
also would leave a note, signing his, how-
ever, "The Eagle." When it was impossible
for either to go to the island, Elizabeth on
occasion would suddenly appear in Lud-
wig's study at Schloss Berg — another proof
that she was unconventional.

When their meetings grew more infre-
quent, Lud wig's eccentricities became ac-
centuated. Finally a group of cabinet
ministers adjudged him insane. With a
doctor for a companion, he was incarcerated
in the Schloss Berg. When he discovered
that men were on the way to persecute him
further, he ran from the castle to the shore
of Lake Starnburg, within sight of the Isle
of Roses, and there killed the doctor and
committed suicide.

When Elizabeth had been admitted to
the room in the castle where Ludwig's body
had been laid, she collapsed to the floor in a
deep swoon. So slowly did she regain con-
sciousness that her mind was still clouded
when she shrieked; "Take the King out of
the vault! He's not dead! He only feigns
death so he may be at peace without tor-
mentors!" At the funeral the casket of the
"mad" King was literally surrounded by
wreaths. One single flower, however, rested
on his breast, a spray of jasmine, Eliza-
beth's last gift to Ludwig.

Memories of Elissa's Mother

"AND now," Elissa Landi remarks rather
x\ sadly, "the Isle of Roses is nothing
but a bit of burnt land covered with
brush ..." She then goes on to say that
after the King's death, the Empress told
Caroline, Elissa's mother, to cherish the
name of Ludwig forever.

"'And Caroline,' she added, 'you have
lost the dearest friend you ever had.' Mother
never will forget that day. Nor will she
forget the visits the Empress made her
while she was being brought up in Vienna
by a' family called Kaiser. She had her own
ideas as to how Mother should be raised.

{Continued from page 12)

what seemed to be a thoroughly reliable
moving concern, but just to be on the
safe side she thought a little extra assur-
ance might not be amiss. After pointing
out several heavy pieces of antique furni-
ture, she said —

"Now that is awfully heavy. Are you
sure you can handle it?"

"Lady," replied the muscular gent with
injured dignity, "we've moved Marie
Dressier."

FEBRUARY fourth was a sort of birth-
day for the motion picture industry
in Hollywood. Twenty-four years ago on
that day production started on the very
first fillum to be produced on the flicker
coast. It was a super-super special entitled
"Across the Divide," and it ran all of one
whole reel. The studio was in the backyard
of a Chinese laundry owned by Sing Loo.
The sun provided the only light at hand,
and the actors dressed behind a fence. The
ladies dressed in the laundry, probably
while Sing Loo wasn't looking.

Most of the names in the cast have long
since been forgotten. Only the late Tom
Santschi, to become famous afterward as
the hero of the screen's first serial, is still
remembered. He, at least, went on to
fame and some fortune. The other pioneers
of a great industry are not remembered.

Sic transit gloria inundi.

"T'VE finally discovered the meaning of

JL 'temperament,' " said the famous movie
star. "It's disagreeing with the producer."

THE big problem has been settled at
last. George Bancroft will not wear a
beard in "Red Harvest." That manly
phiz will not be covered with hirsute
shrubbery, and you won't have to look at
your program to discover the identity of the
star.

Paramount, not going in much now for
high-salaried stars, is rumored to be a bit
upset at the considerable stipend Bancroft
is collecting every week. They're reported
to be quite intrigued with the idea of Mr.
Charles Bickford, also a big he-man.

Bickford, incidentally, is not interested in
term contracts, no matter how big they
come. He has plenty of money of his own,
and he has discovered that no star has
much to say about his pictures without
constant battling. The big boy is coming
back strong these days. He will appear
opposite Tallulah Bankhead in her next
picture, and offers are pouring in.

ADD to flickertown anecdotes: The
. great screen lady who would not
wear patches and tatters to the hard-times
party of the Mayfair Club. She could not
allow her public to see her in anything less
than Patou's best. Will Edna May Oliver
please give a good sniff for me?

NOW there's nothing funny about
pleurisy, but the very idea of Lupe
Yelez suffering from it strikes me as funny.
It just sounds like one of those things that
Lupe would never, never have. For one
thing I always thought she was too lively
to catch anything like that. At any rate it
kept her away from "The Broken Wing"
company for four days. Incidentally, a
picture is pretty dull business for the Mexi-
can madcap if she can't flirt with her
leading man. Fredric March is the star in
"The Broken Wing," and Freddie's reputa-
tion would make that of Caesar's wife look

like a spotted boarding house tablecloth

Avoid self-infection by using

KLEENEX disposable TISSUES
instead of handkerchiefs

COLDS are costly, both in health and
money. Do you realize how costly?
Do you realize that colds are the starting
point for a whole list of serious and expen-
sive illnesses? That colds cause more time
lost from work, more absences from school,
than any other disease?

It is good sense and good business to take
every precaution the moment you notice the
first sign of a cold in yourself or any member
of your family.

Start using Kleenex
at once

Stop using handkerchiefs when
the first sniffle starts! Handker-
chiefs collect germs — cause
constant sell -infection, if you
use them over ami over.

The only safe handkerchief is one you
can use and destroy — Kleenex disposable
tissues.

Kleenex costs so little that you use each
ii :ue only once. Then you destroy it. be-
fore it lias a chance tO Self-infect you or spread
infection through the family. Kleenex is soil,

comfortable — and relieves you of all hand-
kerchief washing. Children especially need
Kleenex because they catch cold so e
and so often develop serious complications.
The value of Kleenex in beauty care is well
known. Used for removing cleansing ct
it prevents any risk of leaving bits of oil and
dirt in the pores. Mothers find it saves clothes
when giving children cod liver oil or medi-
cines, or when applying ointments.

Looking Them Over

(Continued from page 24)

gether, and Joan and Norma always seem to
have so little to talk about!

REPORTS from New York hint that
Jeanette Loff (remember the lovely
Loff?) will soon become the bride of a well-
known Broadway playboy. If this is true,
Jeanette will probably join the ranks of
Phyllis Haver, Ruth Taylor, Jane Winton
and several others, who have turned their
valuable backs on a career in favor of
matrimony in a Park Avenue salon or a
Greenwich Village penthouse.

BILLIE DOVE'S favorite laugh partner is
Charlie Lederer, who authored most of
"Cock of the Air." Nothing serious to this
one — Charlie just knows the best jokes and
wisecracks and Billie, in spite of her drowsy
beauty, loves laughter.

SARI MARITZA (pronounced Shar-ee Ma-
reetza) says she doesn't care what they
call her as long as they don't make it
"Sorry" Maritza. Unfortunately enough,
that is the most common pronunciation.

Sari is a cute little girl who looks more
like a cherubic ingenue than the alluring
"exotic" she has been painted. Her figure
is not unlike Sylvia Sidney's — proof that
curves are coming back. You'll be hearing
more about Sari, who has made a terrific hit
with the press. Most of the boys and girls
like her better than any of the recent
importations. Most of the boys think she
looks awfully cuddlesome.

MONA MARIS and Clarence Brown
have apparently checked out on their
romance after a two-year "engagement," in-
cluding wedding bell rumors and a diamond
ring. Mona still has the ring, so it couldn't
have been originally intended for the fourth
finger after all.

There is talk that Mona will probably go
to New York in the early Spring to try her
luck on the stage.

In the meantime, Director Brown's latest
rumor is Dorothy Burgess.

TALABIRELL, Universal's offering upon
the altar of the "exotics," is unique in
that she is not a follower of the great Garbo.
Tala thinks Helen Hayes is the finest
actress on stage or screen and if she could
get roles like Helen's, she would let the
Garbo clan go their glamourous way.

But Tala is going to suffer comparison to
Garbo, whether or not she wants it. For
one thing, her figure is similar to the famous
Swede's — and she has the same manner of
carriage.

SPEAKING of comparisons, there is just
a little bit too much of the Constance
Bennett motif in Carole Lombard's new
gowns and photographs. Maybe it is un-
intentional, but it looks as though Carole
were trying very hard to look like Constance
from her sweeping hairline to her wide,
generous mouth.

Carole is too interesting and individual to
suffer such continued comparison with
another big star.

WHAT a treat it is for a lucky scribe to
be allowed a peek onto the well-
guarded "Grand Hotel" set out at M-G-M.
Edmund Goulding was kind enough to call
off the cops at the door of the set the other
day and allow us to glimpse the making of
a great scene from that picture.

\ I rE'VE often wondered why some of the
\ \ - did not move into their elab-

orate bungalow suites on the studi" lots.
Most of the little cottages are as pretty and
comfortable as a New \ ork penthouse.

But s<i far as we know, Ruth Chatterton
is the tirst star actually to take up residence
on a studio lot during the filming of a pic-
ture.

Ruth has moved bag-and-baggage into
her lovely bungalow on the First National
lot and is hav ing a lot of fun inviting friends
to motor through the studio gates to dine
with her. The other night she gave an
informal card party. But la Chatterton
says her evening entertainments will be few
and far between, as she moved into the
bungalow primarily to save her strength,
id retire early.

Ralph Forbes (the husband) is developing
into a midnight prowler about theBurbank
Studio.

EvIDA WATKINS, who made a couple of
pictun sfoi I "X and who was one of the
' privately promoted" Deb Stars, has

just about decided to check out on her
career in favor of matrimony.

Miss Watkins and Gabriel Hess, prom

PATSY RUTH MILLER is having more
than her share ol boat travel. Patsy

of it. She was seriously ill with the

MIRIAM HOPKINS, pet and pride of
Paramount, earned herself a little
vacation after completing her new picture
with Jack Oakie.

All her life Miriam has wanted to visit
San Francisco. It is the one interesting
American city she has never seen.

So on the spur of the moment Miriam, her
maid, two trunks and four valises took the
train to the town on the Bay.

It seems that San Francisco was just as
anxious to see Miriam Hopkins. Two hours
after her arrival became known, she had
received ten baskets of flowers and a raft of
telephone calls and interviewers.

IF Virginia Bruce keeps up in her present
fashion, she is going to give Mary Brian
a run for her "popular girl" honors. We've
already mentioned that Jack Oakie finds the
blonde Virginia a most attractive dinner
partner — and on the nights when Jack isn't
hanging on her telephone — Billy Bakewell
is!

A year ago, Virginia was a glorified extra
girl in Hollywood and none of the eager
young men seemed to know she existed. But
Virginia went to New York and the Follies
— and now everything is just lots of fun in
Hollywood.

Being in the Follies certainly seems to
make a girl's stock go up.

HIS success in "Dr. Jekyll and Mr.
Hyde" has agreed with Fredric
March. Freddy used to be a quiet, retiring
young man, but lately he has blossomed out
as a wisecracker with the best of them.

For one thing, he used to feel ill-at-ease
and nervous at the prospect of meeting an
interviewer or newspaperman. Now he's
the buddy of all the visiting scribes who
can get past the Paramount policeman.

HERE'S a funny one for you:
The other afternoon Ann Meredith's
Beauty Parlor was crowded with film celeb-
rities. In one booth Ruth Chatterton was
having her nails manicured. And Joan
Bennett was having her hair clipped at the
barber's. Joan Blondell was reading a maga-
zine in the "dryer room." Carmel Myers
was waiting a moment for the hour of her
appointment. Evelyn Brent was having her
hair water-waved. Evalyn Knapp had just
arrived. Yet in spite of all this movie glory,
under one beauty roof, work was going on
pretty much the same. No extra excite-
ment, if you know what I mean.

Suddenly, and without a previous ap-
pointment, Mary Roberts Rinehart arrived
and asked for an appointment to have her
hair clipped. As the famous novelist was
ushered into a booth, the entire shop went
into a frenzy. Even the famous movie stars
were not above attempting to peek in at
Mrs. Rinehart as they went, past her booth.
Such is fame in Hollywood! America's
highest-paid woman writer was in Holly-
wood on a visit to her son, who is under
contract, as a scenario writer, to Para-
mount.

SAW Marlene Dietrich on the Paramount
lot the other morning and just why
Marlene doesn't enjoy the reputation of
"the best-dressed woman in Hollywood"
we've never been able to figure out. She
was wearing a stunning black velvet street
dress with a dainty lace collar at the throat.
Her hat was black — one of those very perky
affairs that shadow one eye. About her
shoulders she wore two beautiful silver
foxes. On Park Avenue Marlene would
have been a riot. In Hollywood she was a
bit too conservative, perhaps?

Depicting the captivating charm and physical
attractiveness which chic slenderness brings.

Thousands upon thousands of fashionable
women are increasingly placing their faith in
a half teaspoonful of Kruschen Salts every
morning before breakfast to safely lose excess
fat and give them a beguilingly slender, trim
figure — glorious health, new energy, strength
and great body activity.

Mrs. C. La Follette ofShepardsville, Ky. writes:
"I take Kruschen and find it fine. Reduced 24
lbs. in 31 days. Ate all I wanted, 3 meals a
day. Feel like a new person,"

An 85c bottle lasts 4 weeks and leading drugstores
the world over heartily recommend this pleasant, effect-
ive treatment. Many folks hasten results by going lighter
on potatoes, pastries and fatty meats.

Remember Kruschen is more than just a laxative salt — ■
It's a marvelous blend of 6 SEPARATE minerals which
help every gland, nerve and body organ to function
properly — then just watch excess fat gradually dis-
appear!

Clear Eyes

always win admiration!

Clear, sparkling eyes compel more admira-
tion than any other feature. And it's so very
easy to have them! All you need do is adopt
Murine, the time-tried eye clearer and
brightener that's used by the loveliest screen
and stage stars.

This famous lotion dissolves the dust-laden
film of mucus that makes eyes look dull,
and by its gentle astringent action reduces
bloodshot veins. You can use it freely as it
positively contains no belladonna and other
harmful ingredients. 150 applications cost
but 60c at drug and department stores. Buy
your first bottle today\

larger in appearance it very shortly becomes.

ZASU PITTS and Tom Gallery have final-
ly come to a definite parting of the ways.
For years Zasu and Tom have been living
apart and it is believed that their greatest
wish was to avoid actual divorce if possible.
Zasu told the judge that Gallery had left
her November 24, 1926 and that he had
refused to return to their home. Upon the
charge of desertion she asks the custody of
their own child, Ann, aged 9, and an adopted
son, Don Mike Gallery, also 9, who was the
adopted son of the late Barbara La Marr.
Immediately upon filing suit the screen
comedienne left on a trip.

JUST a stray thought of our own :
Wonder whose idea it is, putting Clark
Gable in minister roles?

ALL the Hollywood chatter writers are
. complaining about the "happy end-
ings" of several feuds which have, hereto-
fore, kept the colony buzzing with interest.

Gloria Swanson is married to Michael
Farmer and Connie Bennett is very happy
with the Marquis. This three-ring circus,
which kept every local reporter on his toes,
in order to get the latest development for
the Dear Public, has settled down into a
duet of happy domesticity.

With the marriage of John Considine, Jr.
and Carmen Pantages and the coming nup-
tials of Joan Bennett and Gene Markey,
this famous triangle must be crossed off,
too. John and Carmen and Joan supplied
much lively gossip several months ago with
their strange three-cornered heart affairs.

Charlie Bickford, former stick of studio
dynamite, has tamed down to a contented
lingerie shop owner.

No longer are the fans fighting over the
screen supremacy of Garbo vs. Dietrich.
They've decided they are both grand.

Now, apparently, everybody is happy and
satisfied — except the gossip writers, who are
wondering where their next "sensation" is
coming from. Of course, there are always
Lupe and Tallulah . . .

ANITA PAGE has just signed a brand-new
. contract with M-G-M.

Dorothy Lee is no longer with RKO. We
hear that Mary Astor will soon complete
her agreement with the same studio.

Myrna Loy's contract with M-G-M lasted

contract with Fox.

Hollywood's Heroes Are Baffled
by Joan Blondell

{Continued from page 19)

Your First Impression's Wrong

JOAN'S very appearance, her conversation
and her manner, on the screen or in per-
son, bring up still other points not cov-
ered in her history, to add to the confusion.
The mere glimpse of her charms would cause
any real, two-fisted gentleman to exclaim in
dismay: "That girl virtuous? Alas — it's a
downright sin!"

However, it is Joan, herself, who explains
all the seeming contradictions — not so much
by words as by the way she treats you when
she knows you.

She is a girl who has gone through Hell
unsmirched.

"A modern girl isn't marred or morally
disintegrated by unpleasant experiences, be-
cause she isn't taught to dread them," Joan
explains. "A really old-fashioned girl would
go to pieces in the first tight spot, because
of her overwhelming dread of what might
happen. The first touch of life destroys her
moral fiber, because she thinks it has
branded her."

Joan's life offers illustrations for the text.
For instance, there was that dark and
stormy night, down in Austin, Texas, when
a maniac stole into her hotel room, with an
axe in his hand. Joan first dented his cra-
nium with a heavy lamp, then made sure
that he was "out" cold, and last of all,
fainted. The old-fashioned girl would have
fainted first !

No one in Hollywood has heard Joan use
even the most casual, conversational, harm-
less "cuss" word. Vet she stands by listen-
ing, without protest, to the best efforts of
the movie electricians. No restraint is
shown before her, and she has been seen to
smile admiringly at a particularly prolonged
or brilliant effort.

"Swearing?" Joan echoes in mild sur-
prise. "Oh, yes, swearing. Well, it doesn't
annoy me much. I've heard it done by
experts!"

Neither Shocking Nor Shocked

IT is equally true that Joan doesn't tell
risque stories. She is perfectly frank and
open in conversation, but seemingly, there
isn't a nasty thought in her head. Yet she
listens, often with a knowing smile, while
the Hollywood minstrels sing their lays.
Nor can one detect in her face or manner,
as she does so, the slightest trace of embar-
rassment. One fancies, however, that there
are few subtleties, few clever double-mean-
ings, that escape this cosmopolitan creature,
whose pet pastime, between pictures, is to
go off alone in a dilapidated old car, dressed
in sweater and knickers, exploring.

Yes, Joan has been everywhere, and has
seen everything, and yet has emerged ut-
terly clean-minded ! Or, as she herself would
prefer to put it, she has seen so much, and
been so many places, that necessarily she is
clean-minded.

Her frankness is amazing. There is ab-
solutely nothing coy about her. She is
logical, natural, and intensely human. All
the mean little repressions and silly bash-
fulness of the adolescent girl, it seems, Joan
never knew. Perhaps that is why she has,
at the age of twenty-three, a poise, a
healthiness of mind, a confidence, and a
moral cleanness that are the envy of Holly-
wood.

Her studio, Warner Brothers, is in a bit
of a quandary about Joan's solitary, and
apparently serious, love affair. After her
stage success in "Penny Arcade," the or-
ganization signed her, put her into fifteen
screen roles of rising importance in less than

that many months, has just co-starred her
with James Cagney in "The Crowd Roars"
and now is starring her alone in "The
Famous Ferguson Case." High hopes are
entertained for her future, but Joan's regard
for George Barnes, cameraman, appears to
be one tiny fly in the ointment. George is
a nice chap and all that, but the studio
officials wonder what effect marriage may
have upon Joan's career.

What She Thinks of Marriage

IT is safe to wager that Joan's producers,
however conventional they may be, have
been hoping that she would not be too con-
ventional in this matter, at this critical
stage of her career. Being engaged to
George is one thing; wedding him another.
Ordinary marriages aren't news, and pla-
tonic friendships often are; but this is re-
versed in the case of film stars. Marriages
are the sure-fire, world-wide publicity sen-
sation; friendships are too common to
attract much attention.

Joan doesn't believe that the public ob-
jects to the marriages of its favorites.
Speaking in generalities, not necessarily of
her own case, she remarks:

"What difference does marriage make in
screen romance — when it doesn't even make
any difference in real-life romances these
days? "

That's spoken almost sadly, Joan. Al-
most as an old-fashioned girl — with modern
improvements! — might say it.

"I sometimes think of life and the world
as a huge, round honeycomb," says Joan
with a whimsical twinkle. "Some of us
wander around over it, poking into its cells
in our search for honey; others stay all
their lives in one or two cells, and spend
their time giving the wandering ones free
advice.

"Of course, it is those who go poking
about who most frequently encounter the
peevish end of a bee, but they also find the
most honey. The ones who are stung last
and worst, however, in my opinion, are the
stay-at-homes who play safe and miss half
of life. Giving advice on how to live to
others is a sorry substitute for living,
oneself.

"I've wandered, and sipped the honey,
and haven't always escaped the stings. But
I've always found that the honey I got was
worth the stinging I got."

At any rate, stings of experience haven't
saddened Joan, nor in any other way bur-
dened her. She isn't afraid of anything —
least of all, work. No one can be around
her long without realizing that this smiling
bit of feminine temptation is truly happy,
healthy and carefree. Perhaps that is be-
cause she regrets nothing that life has ever
done to her.

Doesn't Regret Her Roaming

"T'M not sorry I spent my girlhood trav-
JL eling all over the world in variety
shows, spending my first twelve birthdays
in twelve different countries," she explains.
"I'm glad, too, that my education came in
weekly snatches, from Seattle to Cape
Town and Singapore to Rio, and that at
the 'tender' age of fifteen I ran off to
Australia on a cattle-boat, instead of set-
tling down at a regular school.

"Everything that has happened to me
has been good, although some of the bless-
ings came pretty well disguised. If it
weren't for gentlemanly mashers, for in-
stance— and how I hate 'em! — I might
never have had the thrill of 'socking' a man

on the nose. I can't regret

All that is necessary, in order to under-
lie Blonde!! paradox, is to see life as
-'fs it. "To the pure, all things are
pure." What better armor of virtui
she wear against disgruntled Hollywood?

The more one learns to understand Joan,
the more one would bet that the practiced
woman-hunters of the film town can't get
to first base with her. She has been too
many places, and has seen too many things.
"Impregnable virtue"? You said it!

Clara Bow's First Interview
Since Her Marriage

{Coittinwil from page :

sentenced to prison didn't help. I was ex-
hausted, bewildered. Every time I heard a
>y shouting something, it sounded
like 'Clara Bow." I was utterly lost, hi
terror-stricken. Rex was as kind to me as a
mother, a lover and a big brother rolled into
one. I left Paramount — and that was the

thing I could have done. Now I was
free, and I ran away from all curious eyes,
ill vindictive tongues — and just trieel
to be mysell again. My morale was com-
pletely shattered.

"Later on when I felt better, I would
have married Rex. But he wasn't working,
and he wanted to have a contract — and
money saved before we were mar-
ried, lie was afraid that the world would
say he married me for my money. That
amused me — to be afraid of gossip as mild
as that after what had already been said
about me! I was hurt-proof by now.

"Hut we waited — and Rex saved his
money and was working right along, lie
told me that now he could pay his share of
household expenses. I was sure that Rex
was different — that he had interests in life
thai were worth-while. I knew that he
would provide for my future — and so 1
told him that if he would put up with me,
ill and nervous as I was, I'd gladly marry
him. And now I belong to Rex wholly — ■

er! If anything ever happened to our
I a< li other, it would simply finish

me."

The Age of FAT

Need No Longer Be Feared

• Soon after 30, multitudes of people gain excess
fat. Many at earlier ages. A great reason lies in
a weakened gland, which largely controls nutri-
tion. Food that .should create fuel and energy
goes to fat.

Since this discovery, doctors the world over
feed this gland factor to the over-fat. Slender
figures all around you are due to this method now.

In Tablet Form

Marmola prescrip-
tion tablets present this
new-day method in
ideal form. A famous
laboratory prepares
them to lit the average
case. People have used
them for 24 years — mil-
lions of boxes of them.
The results are seen in
every circle. Those slender figures,
now so common, are not due to starv-
ing. Every box contains the formula.
So users know, and doctors know,
just how Marmola acts. You are tak-
ing in Marmola what the best physi-
cians Use.

\- rr

light fat in this modern way. Com-
bat the cause. Take Marmola — four
tablets daily — until weight comes
down to normal. As the fat goes,
watch your vim come back. Then
tell your friends what did it. Don't
wait longer — start this right way now.

some of the mistakes that have harmed me
so greatly.

"I've never put a lot of stock in fame or
adulation. I know that they're here for a
day. Every person is a straw in the wind.
None of us counts — for long.

"So what I want out of life now is some-
thing that will last. First of all — I want a
baby. Rex and I both have simple tastes.
We don't need or even want a lot of money.
"We want to settle down to a quiet, ordinary
existence. A home, a child or two, a good
husband — that's what every woman wants.
That's what / want!"

Clara Bow's less domestic hopes are for
one good picture. To that end, her days are
now spent in reading scripts, in talking to
friends and producers about stories. There
is no truth to reports that she has given up
pictures and will retire.

This rumor, like others about the state of
Clara's health, has no doubt arisen from the
fact that the newlyweds have been keeping
very much to themselves — as newlyweds
anywhere are likely to do.

As his wife's business manager, Rex Bell
has turned down important offers from the
stage, screen and vaudeville, totaling ap-
proximately a million dollars. Money is not
a factor to either of them. So a twenty-
thousand-dollar-a-week offer from a New
York producer went by the boards, and
flattering screen contracts remain unsigned.
They both feel that Clara's next picture
should be a perfect blend of suitable story,
fine cast and good mounting. Tentative
plans call for the organization of the Clara
Bow Productions, as soon as story and
business arrangements are such as to meet
with the approval of Rex and Clara.

Her One Big Ambition

THERE will be one picture — possibly
two. In any event, only enough to give
her a trust fund of five hundred thousand
dollars, so that she can live as she wants to
live — for Rex and for herself.

"And when I retire, it will not be because
I am through, but because I want to stop.
And I'll still be a star — but not a dimming
star. I want to be remembered as I am
now."

Which is to say that she will be young —
as emotion-compelling as ever. Because
Clara to-day is no whit less exquisite than
when she was the toast of the world. She
may be a trifle heavier because of her
inactivity the last few months, but that is
all. The flaming charm is there.

As a corollary to her fascinating new en-
thusiasms: "Rex is teaching me the value
of money. He makes me sign all my own
checks — and we know just exactly where
our money goes. I pay half of all household
expenses — Rex the other half. And pretty
soon he's going to pay all of them."

She is the typical young bride, delighted
with her husband's progress — dreaming of
his future achievements.

"I've had glamour," Clara points out,
"and it didn't wear. In marriage I've found
reality and happiness."

As for Rex: "My object in life is to keep
Clara happy. I couldn't possibly be happy
if she were not." And again he will tell you:
"I never had any worries until I took over
Clara's affairs, but even worries are in a
sense a joy — because they are for Clara.
Her worries are my worries now, thank
heaven!"

And yet again: "I married Clara because
I adore her. She's not the red-headed 'It'
girl to me, but a sweet, gorgeous pal!"

Clara Bow, the "It" girl, has come down
a long road made desperate by mistakes and
a world's cruelties. Now she is home — safe.
Meet Mrs. Rex Bell!

So do I!

You don't have to tell the woman who
has switched to Camels the benefits of a

She knows all about it — that's the rea-
son she stays switched.

She has learned that the fine, fragrant,
sun -ripened choice tobaccos in Camels
have a perfectly preserved delicate mild-

She knows by a grateful throat's testi-

Camels are fresh in the Camel Humidor
Pack because they are made fresh, fresh
with natural moisture and natural flavors
— they are never parched or toasted.

If you don't know what the Reynolds

Practically every bit of food you eat

Between Ourselves

TRIP the women stars of their
glamour. Take away Garbo's
mystery, Janet Gaynor's wistfulness,
Marlene Dietrich's slumbrous pas-
sion, Norma Shearer's poise, and so
on down the line. And who, in the
end, are the great personalities of the
screen — the personalities that grow
richer as time whisks by? It you
should ask me — and I'm not saying
that you are — I'd nominate Mary
Pickford, Joan Crawford and Marie
Dressier.

MARIE, though "full of years"
and ailing off and on, has a
gusty love of life that a Jackie Cooper
might well envy. But Mary and
Joan — particularly Mary — are great
personalities in an equally rare way.
Where most stars sit back, content
with the fame and fortune they have
won and the carloads of mail they
receive, Mary and Joan are restless.
For them, glamour is not enough.
Their accomplishments to date are
not enough. They are not self-satis-
fied. They must go on improving
themselves, developing their talents,
seeking new worlds to conquer.

IT is a question if any other woman,
with the possible exception ot
Joan Crawford, will ever be a star as
long as Mary Pickford has been.
Yerv, very few of them have the
brains of a Mary Pickford, or the
modesty, or the faculty of frank
self-appraisement. The years have
done nothing to Mary Pickford ex-
cept to make her a woman more worth
knowing.

I TALKED with Mary the other
day for half an afternoon. In the
room was a piano. I asked her if she
played. She said, " I'm learning how.
I'm taking lessons." There you have
the secret of Maty Pickford's great-
ness. She's always willing to learn!

TALKING with her, you forget
that she is an actress. That is
because of her eyes. They are frank.
Thev tell, even more eloquently
than speech, of the happiness of her
married life. Between you and me,
there isn't an ounce of truth in
those "divorce" rumors — and never
is likely to be.

THE New York Daily News
recently held its annual screen
popularity contest, and again, lor the
second time, Charles Farrell and

Janet Gaynor romped home the
winners. Clark Gable and Joan Craw-
ford were second. The latter news is
quite encouraging. Clark and Joan
are on their way to much bigger
things. Charlie and Janet, lovable
as they are, are beginning to repeat
themselves.

IF you are against censorship, and
all for the freedom of the films, the
way I am, you won't miss the story,
"Shall the Movies Take Orders from
the Underworld?" in this issue.
Moreover, you will demand to see
"Scarface," the picture that puts
the finger on gangland. But don't
think that, by doing so, you will be
helping only Howard Hughes in his
lone battle with the censors. You
will be helping every producer and
every writer and every player in
1 Iollvwood.

THE producers are honest. The
writers are honest. The players
are honest. They all want to give
you honest pictures — pictures as
honest as the newspapers and books
you read and the stage plays that
you see. The reformers won't always
permit them to do this. How much
longer are you and I going to stand
for it ?

IF "Scarface" goes over — and I'll
be disappointed in America if it
doesn't — the fame of three of its
cast will be made. I'm thinking of
Paul Mum, who plays the title sole;
George Raft, who had just signed up
to be Valentino's "double" when the
great Latin died, and who now is
starting on his own in talkies; and
Ann Dvorak, whom you have al-
ready seen briefly in "Sky Devils."
Remember these three names — and
what I have said.

ALA BIRELL, being hailed as
'a rival of Garbo," not only
says that she doesn't like the Garbo
type of role, but she adds that her fa-
vorite actress is Helen Hayes. I'm
interested in Tala right aw7ay. And
you?

Marie's Miraculous Change

ABOUT ten years ago, I watched a too
heavy, a too corseted, a too boisterous
actress sell her antics to a bored audience,
as she clowned her way up and down the
Keith stage in Washington, D. C. She
simply did not register. Just another "has
been," hating to give up. The "has been"
was .Marie Dressier.

This alternoon I saw this same Marie
Dressier again in the wonderful dramatiza-
tion of "Emma." I endeavored to brush
the tears away unnoticed. The audience
sobbed softly. It wasn't just a picture. It
was real life.

I do not know just what has wrought this
miraculous change in Marie Dressier, nor
how pathos and humor, blended together,
happened to be written so strongly in her
countenance, nor how she is able to hold her
shoulders as if the weight of the world were
resting upon them, but this I do know — as
long as such characters exist in moving
pictures, they can never die. They are due
for a Golden Era heretofore uncharted and
unexplored.

Beery — School-marm's Weakness

I'M a small town school-marm, so by all
that's right and proper I shouldn't even
be reading a Movie Classic, but I do —
regularly. I suppose, too, since I've been
able to vote for some odd years and still
write my name with a Miss, I should be
thrown into spasms of ecstacy at the mere
sight of Clark Gable, Maurice Chevalier,
or any other of our screen lovers. Not so.
(Though I do love the way Chevalier rolls
his eyes in that naughty French way and
the way he cocks his straw hat.)

My hero is none other than our big old
burly, rough exterior, soft interior, inimi-
table Wallace Beery. I'd rather see him cuss
under his breath any day than see a
thousand Barrymores make love. When
Beery's on the set, I have eyes for no one
else. And when I break down and confess
that I wept real, honest-to-goodness, briny
tears at that closing scene in "The Champ"
— old hard-hearted me who can flunk a kid
in English without a flicker — well, you know
that he's got something.

Give Thanks for Pichel

CHALK up another mark for our new
character actor, Irving Pichel. The
man who knows how to play his role of cold-
blooded villain, and who draws his charac-
ters with deft, unerring strokes to enchain
our imagination. Perhaps you have seen
him as the upright Senator-father in "Two
Kinds of Women," Maybe you saw him as
the polished man-of-the-world in "The
Cheat," or the half-wit in "Murder by the
Clock," or, as the straight-laced farmer-
husband in "The Right to Love." There's
more, but this will give you a measure of
Irving Pichel's versatility. His voice is a
magnificent instrument, capable of gripping
volume, capable again of delighting tender-
ness. But not only with his voice does he
interpret his parts, but gives all of himself.
He fairly fires his roles at you, and living
them as he does, gives them life and warmth.
Irving Pichel — the talkies' answer to the
fans' plea for "something different."

What's Wrong?

RECENTLY I had promised myself that
. the next time I heard the lovers in a
picture address one another as " My Sweet,"
I would take out a gun and literally shoot
myself, or take a first class jump in the
nearest lake, but last night was the straw
that broke the camel's back. I went to see
"Doctor Jekyll and Mr. Hyde," a story
supposed to have been written years and
years ago, with all in it everything but
modern and when the words "My Sweet"
had never been thought of, and there was
Fredric March, saying, "My Sweet."

When I came home that evening, being of
curious mind, I asked
my grandmother (I
imagined she was quite
modern in her younger
days) if the words "My
Sweet" were familiar
to her. She doesn't
know yet what I
was talking about.
There must be some-
thing wrong some
where.

"My Sweet" and
"Darling." Can't you
just hear them saying
it?

" color corning from within the skin. It must have all
the fidelity of a natural blush, the same soft, thrilling
modulation; the same exquisite blending that leave- no
outline. It inu-t be vivid, sparkling, daring, as much
bo as you elect, but absolutely natural.

Can there Possibly be such Marvelous Rouge? Can
there be such rouge? You've never used one? All have I. ecu

lii 0-TONE. The only Duo-Tom rouge . . . and therefore
absolutely different from any otht r rouge you ever knew.

Duo-Tone, then. What is this magical secret? It means thai
Princi Pal rouge (every shade) is composed of two (list met
tones, perfectly blended into one. There is a mysterious
undertone. It matches your skin tone ... perfectly. There is
cinating overtone. It gives forth the wondrous, vibrant,
glowing color that seems not rouge at all, but actually color
that is your very own!

Duo-Tone Ends "One Shade" Choice. The Duo-Tone

fectly harmonize with your type, no matter what thai

EIGH BORS

GOINGS-ON AMONG THE PLAYERS

By MARQUIS

NOW that option time is
rolling around once more,
Greta Garbo, Hollywood's official mystery lady, is re-
ported to be going coy again about signing her name on
the dotted line. Chat floats up and down the boulevards
that "Greta go home now."

Somehow, I just can't worry about Greta signing any
more. There was a time when the rumor would have made
my blood run cold. What, no more Garbo? Wotinell
would us fan writers talk about if she went back to Sweden ?
Now, when I hear it I just eat an apple — a nice, big, red
apple, and forget all about it.

BUSBY

selves by smoked glasses? The
"specs" are as conspicuous asMa-
hatma Gandhi at a Quaker meeting. Not, of course, that
Mr. Gandhi has ever been to a Quaker meeting.

The dark rumors that she
might shake the dust of M-G-
M from her feet, and very
profitable pay-dirt it has been,
is the Garbo's way of showing
that she has the executive
goat. She is still Garbo, and as
long as she has an exclusive
product to sell, she will wear
the pants when it comes to
running her career.

If memory serves me rightly,
her threats about not signing
in the past have brought very
nice increases in salary. She'll
undoubtedly get it again.
She's worth it. "Mata Han"
may not be a really great pic-
ture, but it is making more
money than the Texas oil
fields. No studio would lose
such a gold mine without an
awful struggle. Greta could
take Leo, the M-G-M lion,
home with her if she wanted to.

BEFORE we leave Greta to
enjoy her contractual ar-
gument, or to take her sun-
baths, or whatever is occupy-
ing her mind at the moment, it
is interesting to record that the
Swedish star, with a woman
friend, attended the Mary
\\ igman dance recital in Los
Angeles. The event was one ot

the swankiest of the winter season. The big auditorium
was studded with ermine, jewels, and Patou's best. Did
Garbo care? You know she didn't. She wore that tweed
coat and old slouch hat, and had a swell time for herself.
If you didn't notice the girl in the informal attire, vou
could hardly escape trying to solve the identity of the
person behind the smoked glasses. Will somebody tell me,
if they aren't too busy, why people try to disguise them-

Lilian Bond's idea of a Spring suit is a swim suit —
and are her Hollywood neighbors sorry? She looks
in healthy trim for "The Trial of Vivienne Ware"

GOOD health is a necessity in Hollywood, and if
you don't believe it, just spend a day and night emot-
ing in front of the camera. The waitress who juggles hash
all day has a picnic by comparison. Being of such primary
importance, some of the health recipes are a lot more dras-
tic than Japan's demands upon
China. Grandma kept the
kiddies in good health by de-
pending on sulphur and mo-
lasses and good, old-fashioned
castor oil. (I beg your pardon,
old-fashioned, but scarcely
good.) Well, Hollywood is a
fancy place, and I suppose you
can expect fancy prescriptions.
Most of us would be invalids
for life before we would sub-
mit to the Louise Closser Hale
procedure. Mrs. Hale insists
that sleep is the great cure-all,
and when she woos Morpheus
(now, don't get excited, Gene-
vieve) she does a thorough job
of it. When she retires she puts
pink putty in her ears to keep
out all noises. Then she uses a
narrow, soft, black band to tie
around her eyes, to shut out all
light. After that she tries to
sleep. How she keeps from be-
ing completely out of the no-
tion by that time probably
makes another story.

The other prize recipe is
Clive Brook's method of tak-
ing cold baths. When I say
cold I don't mean the kind of
water that makes you and me
yell when it comes out of the
cold spigot. Chve puts great
hunks of ice in his tub. Lie
says it is great stuff, and, I
know, you will be quite willing
to take his word for it. That is, until mid-July, at least.
Carole Lombard seems very sensible after that. She just
eats spinach every day. She doesn't really mind it so much,
but she does wish that it didn't taste like spinach.

Warren William starts the day off by drinking the juice
of two lemons in a glass of warm water. He'd rather do
that than eat spinach — or prunes, for that matter.

If yon want to treat your corn in a safe,

"Here I am. stepping out of
character again. And it's some-
what of an occasion, because
I don't talk for publication
often." says Edna May Oliver,
who makes other Hollywood
comediennes look to their lau-
rels with her newest picture,
"Ladies of the Jury."

LHer deep cultured voice
jfiBMBHOBI nthusiasm. Every

sentence is illustrated with a
gesture. She is as humorous and likable as her
characters on the screen.

"I don't like to tell too much about myself in in-
terviews. Miss Garbo has the right idea. A clever
woman. . . . An actress should be illusive . . .
mysterious. . . . Perhaps the public tires of certain
screen favorites simply because it knows too much
about them — their love affairs and their favorite
bath soap!"

"But don't worry — I'm not going to do a Garbo.
High comedy is my field. My hobby — making peo-
ple laugh! . . . I've played several weepy ladies,
but I didn't like them."

"More details about myself? ... I love to swim

New York for years, but after ten days' vacation
there this winter I raced back to Hollywood. . . . I'm

"Any man would be lucky if Lupe fell in love with
him. but I'm afraid that hasn't happened to me,"
said Randolph Scott, blond young Paramount play-
er, when he was reported as being engaged to la
Velez.

"We have been out six or seven times together
but I am too busy trying to be a success to fall in
love," he added, but there was a quizzical glint in
his gray-blue eyes.

"There were rumors of my being dropped when
months went by without my
making a picture, but B. P,
Schulberg told me, himself,
that he has big plans for me.
I have a good bit in 'Sky
Bride' and am working now
in the new George Arliss pic-
ture.

"I haven't appeared before
for several reasons. Once I
was slated for second lead, but
they found I was taller than
the lead and would have made
him — Chester Morris — look silly." Of course that
wouldn't do!

Mr. Arliss, evidently, didn't mind being over-
shadowed by the big rangy fellow who has Holly-
wood gossiping more than it has since the days of
Joel McCrea's discovery.

"It's a swell break at last and I'm determined to
make good!" Randolph adds. But about Lupe —
there's a mystery!

THE LOST ^'ve seeQ Pictures about Hollywood before and
groaned, but here is one I'm glad I didn't miss.
SQUADRON It's suspenseful and it's bitter, but beneath all
its melodrama you'll get the idea that Holly-
wood has a cruel side, as well as a glamourous one. Richard Dix,
Joel McCrea and Robert Armstrong, a trio of ex-war aviators down
on their luck, find their way to Hollywood and become stunt fliers —
and that's where you learn how air pictures are sometimes made.
Eric von Stroheim plays the part of a director who specializes in
film thrills, even though they cost a life now and then. The cast give
the picture everything they have. The result is "a dramatic wallop."

A f T[D According to a young propheteer who has

lately made Hollywood goggle-eyed with her
TO MORROW predictions, Charles Farrell is going to make
his biggest hit without Janet Gaynor. "After
Tomorrow" isn't it, but it's a step in the right direction. Charlie
loses some of his dignity and purity, and goes human. The story
again concerns young love, but this time it lays stress on the torment
of waiting to get married. In fact, it hassome of the most skillful —
and delicate — sex dialogue I've ever had the pleasure to hear. The
only trouble with the picture is that the misfortunes that befall
Charlie and Marian Nixon are the kind that make women weepy.
Even Marian weeps. A little too much, I might add.

POLLY OF
THE CIRCUS

Marion Davies and Clark Gable both
changed their personalities a bit to fit "Polly
of the Circus." Marion changed from a
comedienne into a dramatic actress, and
Clark changed from a dee-vine he-man into a he-man divine. She's
a circus star who's injured, and he's a young minister in whose home
she recovers, thus becoming the common enemy of every woman in
the parish. There's nothing new about the story — it has been imi-
tated too often since its first appearance in silent days. It's still
sentimental. I'm happy to report that it's also sprightly. And
it's novelty to see Clark making love wearing his collar backward.

Sky

"Sky Devils" is more like "Cock of the Air" than like
Howard Hughes' other air picture, "Hell's Angels" —
DEVILS but even more like "What Price Glory?", if you know
what I mean. It's he-man comedy, with the plot —
such as there is — whirling around the enmity of two air corps rookies
(Spencer Tracy and George Cooper) for their top sergeant (William
Boyd). I didn't think they could squeeze another laugh out of the
familiar theme, but the boys surprised me; in fact, they amazed me.
The comedy moves at a fast clip, and there is some spectacular flying.
But the big moments for me were those featuring the new and star-
tling Ann Dvorak, who looks like one of the next stars.

ARSENE When a picture boasts two Barrymores, it should by
rights be twice as good as a picture with just one. I
LUPIN wouldn't say that "Arsene Lupin" is. But it is at
least twice as good as it would have been without
them. To be painfully frank, the story is the familiar duel of wits
between the smooth crook and the smooth detective; it seldom gets
you excited. But John and Lionel make up for the shortcomings of
the story by being their most amusing selves. You never forget for a
moment who they are; and you wonder to the end which will steal
the picture. Personally, I'd call it a tie — and give a third blue ribbon
to Karen Morley, as the girl-detective whom John captures.

THE

Wiser Sex

Seeing isn't believing, so far as "The Wiser
Sex" is concerned. Despite an excellent cast,
it just doesn't jell. As in "Manslaughter,"
Claudette Colbert is in love with a crusading
district attorney (Melvyn Douglas) — but doesn't go to prison this
time. Douglas, however, is headed that way, thanks to some under-
world plotting (by William Boyd and Libyan Tashman) — until
Claudette does a little detective work. It's one of those pictures in
which the principal amusement is seeing how many times you can
guess correctly what will happen next. My score was high, I'm sorry
to say, particularly when Claudette and Lilyan and Melvyn and
William — in about that order — all did nobly.

Both rely on this tooth paste to keep teeth lovely

Money never worries one woman. She
could afford to pay $10 a tube for a den-
tifrice. Yet Listenne Tooth Paste, at
256, is her favorite.

The other woman does some pretty
sharp figuring to keep out of debt. If
she thought a costly tooth paste would
be better for her teeth, she would buy
it, even though she had to skimp in
other directions to pay for it. But she,
too, uses Listerine Tooth Paste.

What is the answer? Simply this:
Women in every walk of life have found
by actual comparison that Listerine
Tooth Paste achieves superior results.
That, in every way, it is worthy of the
great name it bears. Actually more than
two million women have discarded
fancy-priced brands in favor of Listerine
Tooth Paste at 25^.

Do not take our word for its merits.
Let the product speak for itself. You
alone be the judge. Compare its results
and its quality with that of any tooth

paste at any price. Get a tube from your
druggist's and begin using it. You will
be delighted with its results.

New luster and brilliance

Note how swiftly and thoroughly it
cleans — but how gently. Only the safest
of ingredients are used.

See how the modern polishing agents

iERINE

TOOTH PASTE

it contains add fresh luster and brilliance
to teeth that used to be dull.

Note how quickly these agents re-
move ugly tartar, unsightly discolora-
tions, disgusting tobacco stains.

Firm, healthy gums

After you have used this paste a week,
examine your gums. They'll appear
healthier. And feel healthier.

And look for that wonderful feeling
of exhilaration and mouth cleanliness
that follows its use — the delightfully
refreshing effect you associate with
Listerine itself.

A common sense price

Don't forget that these benefits cost you
half of what you would ordinarily pay.
Listerine Tooth Paste costs 25^ the large
tube — a product as good as the name it
bears.

Be sensible. Be thrifty. Use Listerine
Tooth Paste. Lambert Pharmacal Com-

Who are the NEW
Garbos of the Screen ?

Maybe you think Garbo will never have a rival — but the studios aren t giving up
the search for one. Here are three exotic new blondes to prove it — Sari Maritza,
Tala Birell and Karen Morley. And, even though they are brunettes, don't forget Lil
Dagover and Pola Negri (who is entirely different in the talkies)!

WILL there ever be anyone else like Garbo?
Personally, you may not think so — but Holly-
wood probably will never give up the hope
that somehow, sometime, somewhere a Garbo
rival will be found. Beginning with Marlene Dietrich, who

came from, and what their claims to fame are — but, first,
consider what has happened to the "Garbo rivals" of 193 1.
Perhaps you can remember how Hollywood greeted the
arrival of such foreign charmers as Marlene Dietrich, from
Germany; Evelyn Laye, from England; Jeanne Helbling,
from Pans; Suzy Vernon, also a
Parisienne; and Tallulah Bank-
head, the American girl who had
become London's favorite actress.
It was cheerfully ballyhooed
(mostly by their respective studios)
that any, or all, of these ladies
would put serious dents in the
Garbo armor. Each one was a
dangerous threat to her tremen-
dous popularity.

They came, they saw — but out
of that group only two have con-
quered, and not by being "second
Garbos." Marlene Dietrich and
Tallulah Bankhead have survived
the hysteria of their own press-
agents and have won stardom and
large followmgs. Whether or not
they have developed into rivals of
Garbo, any more than they are
rivals of Joan Crawford or Norma

What if Garbo should do the unexpected and give up

the movies — could they find "another Garbo"? They're

already trying!

strenuously objected, every startling newcomer
who came along has been hailed as "another
Garbo" — until now there is a whole crop of "new
Garbos."

Some of the studios behind these dazzling new-
comers favor the comparison; some fight it. But,
either way, the girls themselves can't escape be-
ing likened to the silent Scandinavian — at least,
in Hollywood. The most outstanding of 1932's
new and unusual sirens are Tala Birell and Sari
Maritza (notice that even their names are un-
usual!)— but they are not the only ones. You
are about to learn who they all are, where they

Like Garbo, Lil Dagover is exotic — but is too individual to copy her

By NANCY Pryor

rrcr. is a moot question. Bur at least their fate has
been more flattering than rh.ir of some of the other lan-
guorous ladies who were i • -hts.

Even Evelyn Vanished

EVELYN LA^ I.. the stunning English woman who had
been hailed by Broadway critics as the greatest beauty
on the stage, returned to rlu- stage and her native country
following lier one starring venture with United Artists,
"( )ne ( Ilorious Night." Jeanne I lelbling and Suzy \ ernon,
imported to adorn the rosters "I UK' > and First National,
ctively, never really had rlie opportunit) r<> demon-
strate their charms to rlu- American public. Jeanne Helb-
) i n li had been brought to this country to make American
pictures and remained to complete only two fori ign versions
in Iht native tongue before her contract ran out. Suzy
Vernon was also restricted to pictures in her native lan-
ge, thus losing out completely on the opportunity of
presenting herself as a ( larbo "rival."

Wouldn't you think that the fate of these alluring ladies,
and the hullabaloo that arose when Dietrich and Bankhead
were called "second Garbos" would make Hollywood
wary? Maybe you'd think so — but, lo, a year later the
movie capital finds itself with another crop of "new Gar-
( )nly now the producers are using radically different
methods in publicizing their new "finds" — they are insist-
ing, begging and imploring that their transplanted exotics
suffer no comparison with Ciarbo.

With tears in their eyes, the Paramount publicity boys
that San Maritza be spared the rumors that she is
another Garbo (and, being Paramount, they naturally add
"or Dietrich"). "She has charm and allure all her own."
insists Paramount. As the word "allure" belongs strictly
to I larbo in the minds of the newspaper men, they took
hirches in their belts and strolled out to have a look at this
girl who was sharing a word with Greta.

Sari More Like Nancy Carroll

IN place of a sophisticated, world-weary woman, they
found a girl, no more than twenty-two years of age, who
gave indications of being another Nancy Carroll, rather
than another Garbo. She was as charming, friendly and
un-Continental as our own Sue Carol or Anita Page. True,
she smoked cigarettes with a long black holder and had
been rumored engaged to Charlie Chaplin, but in spite of

these unusual de-
tads, she u as no

ELI EVE it or not — but Clara Bow (Mrs. Rex
Bell) gave a formal dinner party the other
evening! In all the years we have been report-

little red-head has ever broken into the social columns
with anything in the line of formal entertainment. Clara
used to gather a "gang" together at her beach house for
a couple of hot dogs and an evening of poker, but she had
always expressed the utmost contempt for anything more
formal than a checked red-and-white tablecloth on a party
table!

But Clara and Rex had fourteen friends to their home
in Beverly Hills just the other evening. The table was
glittering and sparkling with silver and crystal, and yellow
orchids formed an exquisitely elaborate centerpiece.

Clara, the gal herself,
was stunningly arrayed
in a beautiful formal
gown of cream-colored
satin with which she
wore a diamond necklace
and two sparkling brace-
lets.

Them Over

By Dorothy Manners

ESTELLE Taylor and Lupe Velez used to be the cl
of friends —but recently things have been rather coo
the two flaming brunettes.
Reason— b< lieved to he-- Randolph Scott, Lupe's new boy-
frit nd.

When Estelle was ill in the hospital, the handsome Scott
1>..\ dropped over to paj his respects, which, we hear, didn't
nuke such a hit with Lupe. Well, it' these little tiffs didn't
happen, Hollywood would be begging for excitement!

THE folks couldn't believe their eyes when Mr. and Mrs.
George Arliss showed up for the premiere of the musical
P lay, " C raz y
£)uilt." They figured
the dignified Arhss and
his wife had wandered
in by mistake — hut
they lived to learn dif-
ferently.

The English actor
and his wile occupied
front-row seats and
m .nl'. felloutofthem —
with laughter.

LILA Lee was recently
_, seen at a Warner
Brothers preview in the
company ol Ricardo
Cortez and Lew
Schreiber. The next day
a local newspaper
writer hroke out in
print with a rumor
about Lila and "Ric."
It was a good guess —
hut the news hound
picked the wrong
gentleman. It's Lew,
Al j .son's boon com-
panion, who is taking Lila places
days. Cortez just happened
i" In along.

BILL Boyd and RKO-Pathe
have come to a pari ing of the
ways after one of the longest con-
tract engagements on record. For
eight years Bill turned oui consistent
money-makers for tins concern i by
the way, did you know that Boyd i

pictures grossed within fifteen per cent of Constance Bennett's?),
but toward the last he grew discouraged with the stories and
directors selected for his productions.

Had Bill remained with RKO, he would have received $5000
weekly. That's a lot of money to turn down, but Boyd, who is a
great star on Main Street, feels he deserves a better picture break
than the home company was giving him. He will free-lance for the
time being.

ROMANCES are picking up a little bit this month. Maybe it's
the Spring influence. Anyway —
When Eddie Sutherland returns from his directorial duties with
Douglas Fairbanks in the South Seas, no one would be surprised
if Eddie stepped up to the altar with Audrey Henderson, young
actress.

And the folks are beginning to believe that William Haines'
interest in Alice Glazer (the former Mrs. Barney Glazer) may be
serious.

MARY Pickford has a quaint habit connected with giving
autographed pictures of herself to her close and intimate
friends. When Mary gives a picture to someone she is genuinely
fond of, she has the proof destroyed so that the same picture will
never be duplicated to another friend — or reach publication. It's
a lovely, sincere gesture — but Mary's friends usually pick her best
pictures, which leaves only "second bests" for the newspapers and
magazines.

TALLULAH Bankhead has declared war on interviewers! When
Tallulah first arrived in Hollywood, she saw thirty-one reporters
in one week. She told her studio: "I'll see everyone who wants to
meet me; I'll be a good girl and take lots of fashion pictures and new
photographs for you; in short, I'll do anything you say until I
actually start work on my picture. After that if you show up with

And maybe you think Paramount doesn't believe her! Tallulah
became so excited when she saw Julie Lang of the publicity depart-
ment coming toward her with a newspaper writer that she promptly
turned and fled — but not before carrying out her threat! She calmly
and grandly kicked Julie as she sped by.

JUST what happened between Norma Talmadge and her former

BETTY Compson and Hugh Trevor have kissed and made up
after a misunderstanding that lasted six months. Betty had a
couple of other beaux in the meantime — but, even so, she used to
confide to intimate friends that she was still pretty interested in Hugh.
As for Hugh — is he happy to have his girl back again ? You're
asking? He says it was just a case of "You Try Somebody Else —
I'll Try Somebody Else — " not working out.

All His Secrets

Find him in a serious mood — and how
he will act when the right girl comes
along? Toni Gallant tells you, by the
science of Faciology

By toni Gallant

JAMES DUNN was just the sort of boy who inspired
that jingle about "sticks and snails and puppv dogs'
tails — that's what little boys are made of!" More
than likely, he had it screamed after him five times
a week by several severely agitated little schoolgirls. That
is, if the girls of his school days used doggerels. And
Jimmy, the little gentleman, replied: "Go tie vourself to
a can!" or "Muzzle yourself!" or whatever bywords were
in favor at that time, just to convey the idea he didn't
care. Because he didn't — and still doesn't!

And, although he may have grown up in size, he hasn't
changed greatly. Nature has done much for him without
his being aware of it. Because just the things that go to
make the boy unbearable usually tend to make him a
very charming young man — the boyish sort that has that
way of getting under your skin. Nature has done all of
that for James Dunn, and made him as big a hit, in his
way as Clark Gable, lr has clothed him with all the
glamour and charm of Peck's bad boy.

Hi has a very exciting and entertaining character on
the surface. Life to him is a great adventure and he
enthusiastically wants to see all it has to offer. He picks
up things with surprising quickness. 1 hat is why he was
able to give so superb a performance in " Bad Girl" with-
out much preliminary training in histrionics. He learns
by watching. You have to tell Jimmy only once.

But don't think from this that he never has a serious
moment. I Inn- is character in him (hat is becoming
stronger all tin- tunc, lie has many serious moments —
but mostly when he is alone. Then, he is capable of di i p
meditation. I hat is why his judgment is invariably good.
He hkes to think things out for himself.

He Doesn't Believe in Promises

JWIkS DUNN doesn't expect too much from people.
I hey're mighty weak when it comes to living up to
promises" and "Everybody has the tendency towards
backsliding" — these are his convictions about people in
general. And, unhappily, they are only too true. That is
why he wants results here and now. To James Dunn's

Hollywood Speaks

its Mind about

Tallulah Bankhead

Two months ago, MOVIE CLASSIC presented a revealing interview with the
"sizzling comet among the stars" — Tallulah Bankhead. It told you, among other
things, that she says what she thinks. And this story tells you what happened
when other stars, from Lupe Velez to Clark Gable, spoke their minds about
Tallulah — confidentially, you understand

JACKIE COOPER: "You see, it's like this about Miss
Bankhead 'n' me. It seems Tallu — I mean Miss
Bankhead — came out here to the Coast on the same
train with Joan Crawford and Douglas Fairbanks,
Jr., who are good friends of mine. An' it seems Miss Bank-
head tells Joan that she has sort of a crush — I mean that I
am her favorite actor or somethin' on the screen. An'
Joan gives a dinner party so Tallu — I mean Miss Bank-
head — can meet me. She was prettv nervous, I guess.
She says, an' you know she talks real deep, she says: 'Can
it really be you, at last?'

"She sits next to me at the table, too. She seemed real
tickled about it. She's sure
pretty all right — 'n' regular —
picked up her chicken in her
fingers when I did. I stayed
at the party until eleven
o'clock. Tallu — I mean. Miss
Bankhead — begged me to. I
guess that's how that story
about her and me got started.
She sent me a swell present,

too — a boat — a swell boat. I think she's swell, too."

Dorothy Spensley, who wrote the interview with Tallulah
in the March Movie Classic: "She was in bed when I met
her. It was about two o'clock in the afternoon — but she
was in bed, holding an impromptu reception with her maid,
her secretary, a modiste and a manicurist, all on the bed
with her. And you think it wasn't a reception? Only a
Continental drawing-room ever held such laughter and
bon mots, such a poised hostess, and such champagne!
When Tallulah speaks in that low throbbing voice of hers
and says the Things She Says in the Way She Says Them,
she could hold a reception in her bathtub and it would be
the real thing! She's quite the swell-
est dish the poor old press has met in
many a moon."

What Carole Has Noted

CA ROLE LOMBARD: "I know
Miss Bankhead only on the
screen, but I think her truly fascinat-
ing. One little thing I've particularly
noticed is that her clothes are so un-
Hollywoodish, if you know what I
mean."

A Certain Well-Known Columnist:
"Sure, Bankhead is a hot potato and
a splash of color. But when she runs
out of her bag of tricks — then what?
The newspaper people are crazy
about her because she says what she
wants to when she wants to. In a
way, she's in a spot. Wonder if any-
body can live up to Tallulah's reputa-
tion for brilliance and wit in this
* man's town ?"

Fredric March- "It's one thing to
know a star like Tallulah by her
publicity reputation — and quite

Mary Sees Doug Off

On Long Voyage With

Pretty Leading Lady

Maria Alba, Spanish Beauty and Recent Bride, To

Be "Native Heroine In Fairbanks' South Sea

Picture— Tearful Farewells On All Sides

by Dorothy donnell

Though hardly

in the mood,

Mary and Doug

h ad to face

camera s —

and smile

Onlv four days before his troupe was
to sail for Tahiti, Fairbanks chose
pretty Maria Alba as his leading lady

WHEN Douglas Fairbanks
decided to go to the
South Seas to make his next pic-
ture, and Mary decided to stay in
Hollywood and make her next
picture, the old gossip started.
Buz z-b uzz-buzz — separation —
divorce — they say — buzz-buzz. It
kept up right to the moment of sail-
ing, particularly when the huge crowd
at the pier saw that this time Doug
was taking along a leading lady — the
very young, very pretty and very
excited Maria Alba. Every eye was
on her.

Mary used to go everywhere Doug
went, even on location trips whenever
possible, until two or three years ago.
Then she startled the public by letting
Doug take his jaunts abroad alone.
The reason was very simple — Mary
not only doesn't like traveling (and
never has), but it actually makes her
ill. Being a sensible and devoted wife,
she felt that she should not interfere
with Doug's wanderlust. Hollywood,
however, preferred to believe that
Mary stayed, or Doug went, for a
more interesting reason, and the di-
vorce rumors resulted. Doug and
Mary knew, as did Maria Alba, that
there would probably be more such
rumors from this trip to the other
side of the world — but all three could
afford to ignore them. Sooner or
later, the true story would be pub-
lished. Here it is.

As the S. S. Makura, bound for

Maria almost
didn't go
when it came
time to part
from her new
husband,
David Todd

Papeite, capital
of Tahiti,
sailed out of
San Francisco
harbor, Maria
Alba drew her
first breath in
three frantic,
crowded days.
Four days be-
fore, she had
been just the
happy bride of

David Todd, casting director at Fox
Studios, planning to give up the
screen career that had brought her
from Barcelona four years ago to play
in Spanish versions of American pic-
tures. Then had come the chance to
take tests for the role of the native
heroine in the Fairbanks picture.
And the tests had been more success-
ful than she had dared to hope. She
supplanted Lupita Tovar, who had
been tentatively chosen.

Onlookers report that the
final parting between the
Todds made it look for a
moment as though Doug
would have to sail away
without a leading lady.
Maria sobbed and clung to
her husband's coat, while
Mary and Doug escaped
behind closed stateroom
doors to say farewell with-
out prying eyes or pointing
cameras. When Mary reap-
peared, she wore a veil over
her eyes.

Mary and Maria took an
affectionate leave of one
another. No one heard
everything they said. Per-
haps Mary was begging to
see that Doug Wore
his rubbers if they
struck the rainy sea-
son in Tahiti. It is
certain that Mary
called after Maria to
be sure to write. "Yes,
yes, I'll write you
often," called back
Maria.

And after all the
tears and partings,
Maria may not appear
in the Fairbanks com-
edy in the end. Doug's
first plan was to have
a native heroine for
his picture. Then, de-
ciding that this might
be impossible, he had
sought out a Holly-
wood heroine who could look like a
South Seas beauty, if his search for a
native heroine were in vain. Maria,
they say, does not know this. Perhaps
she would not have gone if she had
not been sure of the iole.

Lupe Velez' Romance

With "Second Cooper

Didn't Bloom

Randolph Scott, Newcomer Who Resembles Gary
Cooper, Was Scheduled To Play Opposite Gary's
Old Flame Until Romance Rumors Linked Their Names

TUPE VELEZ and Randolph Scott,
I ., the tall young Virginian who is
being mistaken for Gary Cooper,
were supposed to be teamed in the
Paramount picture, "The Brok-
en Wing." But before the pic-
ture could be started, romance
rumors linked their names —
and Scott was transferred to
the cast of "Sky Bride," in-
stead. And good old Holly-
wood couldn't help getting a
laugh out of all this, because it
remembered the reports of the
same studio's disapproval of
the original Gary and the hot-
headed little Mexican actress.

When Randolph Scott first
arrived in Hollywood last Fall,
his startling resemblance to
Gary Cooper was a source of
interest to everybody. Talk had
it that Paramount was grooming
this tall, lanky boy to take the
place of Gary, if the latter's
state of health kept him from
creen activity very
long. But when it be-

Rudy Vallee's Wife

Goes West For Health,

Not Divorce

(Pi

Here are Rudy Vallee and Fay Webb, as they looked to
the minister on July 6, 1931 — the day he disappointed
his admirers and got married. They met while he was
filming "The Vagabond Lover"

Three Times Since Marriage To Famous

Crooner/ Fay Webb Vallee Has Returned

To California Home — Trips Are Merely

Health Vacations

By Helen Scott

EVER since Rudy Vallee married
Fay Webb, daughter of a Santa
Monica (Cal.) city official, the gos-
sips have been busy hinting that
they are on the verge of separation.
Though their close friends have
scoffed at such insinuations, out-
siders have called attention to the
fact that, in the short span of their
married life, Fay has made three
trips back to the home of her family
after short "visits" with her husband
in New York. The gossips' guess
was that the popular crooner and his
bride were quarreling and making up.

But lately there have been whispers
of a more serious, poignant explana-
tion back of these marital vacations
of the Vallees — a memorable love
story that comes straight from Santa
Monica friends of the couple:

Fay Vallee's health is a constant
worry to herself, her husband and her
family. A victim of "low resistance,"
she must constantly be on her guard
against contracting any dangerous
illness — such an illness, say, as at-
tacked Lila Lee and Renee Adoree.
She must have a great deal of sun-
shine, rest and outdoor life. When
she first met and fell in love with the
radio singer, during the time he was
making "The Vagabond Lover" in
Hollywood, Fay told him of her deli-
cate health, but Rudy refused to let
that make any difference. He wanted

to marry
Fay im-
mediately,
before he re-
turned to
New York,
but she
wanted to
he sure that
he knew his
own mind.
She said,

"Let's wait HHHH
a few weeks,
anyway."

Not long after, she fol-
lowed him to New York —
and they were married, sur-
prising millions of Vallee
admirers. Being the bride
of such a popular enter-
tainer, the new Mrs. Vallee
had to attend a constant
round of parties in her
honor. Rudy's entire life
is night-life — his radio,
night-club and theatre en-
gagements. Fay, anxious
and happy to be at the
side of her husband, at-
tempted to keep up the
pace as long as she could
stand it, physically — and
then it was necessary for
her to return to the quiet
of her California home.

Worried about
the health of his
bride (right),
Rudy insisted
that she go back
to California for
a "good, long
rest" and joined
her there — thus
ending rumors
that they were
on the verge of
divorce

Three times Fay has had
to return to the home of her
parents in order to regain
the strength that has been
expended in living up to the
busy and exciting role of
being Rudy Vallee's wife!

Fay became so ill on her
last visit to Rudy, and the
crooner of love songs be-
came so alarmed, that he
insisted she return to her
parents for a long "vaca-
tion." He promised that he
would arrange for a vaca-
tion, himself. Fay did not see
how it could be done — but
love can always find a way.
Rudy has just been with her,
ending rumors.

Millionaire Cables
Proposal — Virginia
Cherrill Says "Yes

Chaplin's Leading Lady In City Lights" Sails

For Wedding In South Seas — Bridegroom One

Of Americas Wealthiest Men

By jane Matthews

VIRGINIA CHERRILL, who
crashed into movie prominence
opposite Charlie Chaplin in "City
Lights," is the latest screen beauty
to win a millionaire- and, appropri-
ately enough, the setting for the
wedding is the Society Islands.
Along with the Douglas Fair-
banks troupe headed for
the South Seas to film
"Tropic Nights," she sailed
to meet the Vincent Astor
yacht at Tahiti and to be-
come the bride of
William Rhine-
lander Stewart,
New York socialite.

Besides belong-

Stewart is one of
the wealthiest men
in America. Mis
mother, upon her

While playing opposite Chap-

mantically coupled with
his, as is usual with
Chaplin and his leading
ladies. Later, there was
talk of an "engagement"
to Buster West, come-
dian. But Virginia's
biggest romance was with
Tommy Lee, son of a
wealthy West Coast fam-
ily. Wedding bells were
confidently expected. hut

is that Virginia hardly had time to

Why Did Colleen Moore
And Al Scott Attempt
1* Secret Wedding?

Former Screen Favorite Tries To Dodge Publicity In

Marrying Young New York Broker — Both Had Been

Divorced, and Romance Had Been Denied

By Evelyn Derr

Above, Colleen Moore registers that
honeymoon smile at Miami Beach,
at the side of her new husband,
Albert Scott. Right, Colleen and her
former husband, director John Mc-
Cormick, on a yachting trip when
their marriage was one of Holly-
wood's "happiest." Below, Colleen
as you may soon see her on the screen

HEN
Colleen
Moore and Al
Scott motored
from Palm Beach,
Florida, to Fort
Pierce, Florida,
early one recent
morning and were
married, they did
everything in
their power to
keep the news
from reporters.
The "secret"
lasted just two
hours before the
Palm Beach news-
hawks got wind of
what had taken

place and proclaimed their findings
to newspaper syndicates. But why
did Colleen attempt a secret mar-
riage?

All her friends expected Colleen and
the young New York broker to be
married as soon as her divorce from
director John McCormick became
final (on May 13, 193 1). Yet even
when the rumors of their engage-
ment were flying the thickest, Colleen
denied the romance and said she

doubted if she
would ever marry
again! Colleen is
too level-headed
to have wanted a
secret marriage
merely because it
has become a pop-
ular fad among pic-
ture people. There
must have been
other reasons,
thmksHollywood.
Her first mar-
riage having end-
ed in divorce after
an auspicious beginning, might not
the little Irish girl have wanted to
escape publicity as much as possible
when marrying a second time? Also
— not only was Colleen, herself, a
divorcee, but her thirty-year-old
bridegroom, whose full name is
Albert Parker Scott, has been di-
vorced. He married Elizabeth Esh-
baugh, daughter of a wealthy New
York stock broker, in 1930 and the
couple parted in September of the

same year by the divorce route.
Several months later he went to
Los Angeles to visit and it was there
that he met Colleen Moore. Friends
say that they were immediately
attracted to each other. They had
a great deal in common, also —
both bearing the scars of recent
marital break-ups. From the
beginning, Scott was Colleen's
devoted escort and financial
adviser. They say that it is
through his influence that Col-
leen has not invested her own
money in making a "comeback"
picture and that he has encouraged
ner to stick to stage engagements
until she has acquired the necessary
experience for talking picture tech-
nique. She has just been appearing
in "Church Mouse" on the Los
Angeles stage.

Her career is another reason why
Colleen may have wished to keep her
Florida marriage a secret. Except in
rare cases, Hollywood still clings to
the belief that the public is more
interested in unmarried actresses.
(Look at Garbo!) And Colleen is
decidedly not retired from her career.
She is as eager to make a hit on the
talking screen as she was, in the old
days, to reach the pinnacle of silent-
screen fame. The general knowledge
of her marriage to John McCormick
did not deter her then. And with
Colleen's fighting spirit, the knowl-
edge of her marriage to Al Scott will
probably in no way detract from her
"comeback" as a talkie star.

Since their divorce, Colleen's ex-
husband, John McCormick, has mar-
ried again — and the marriage has
gone on the rocks. Previous to this
second marriage, McCormick was ru-
mored to have asked Colleen to re-

Pickford's Memories
Of First Wife Hasten
End Of Third Marriage

Actor's Friends Say He Cannot Forget Tragic Olive Thomas
— GiveThis As Real Reason For Pickford-Mulhern Divorce

BY DOROTHy CALHOUN

TACK PICKFORD, at thirty-six,

| has lost his third actress-wife.
' With tears in her eyes, Mary Mul-
hern has just divorced the once-
famous younger member of the
House of Pickford, whom she mar-
ried on August 12, 1930. She asked
her freedom on the familiar grounds
of "mental cruelty," alleging con-
stant fault-finding. But those who
know the inside story claim that
Mary did not mention the real
tragedy of their marriage — a tragedy
that started with Jack's first marriage.

Old-timers in Hollywood still re-
member the sensation that Jack
created when he brought his first
wife, Olive Thomas, to the Coast —
and to fame in the movies. 1 he movie
colony had heard that she was the
toast of Broadway, but no one was
prepared for the exquisite beauty of
the "follies" girl he had married.

Jack was then nineteen, and one of
the most winning personalities on the
screen. His was a desperate case ot
young love and it lasted without a let-
down for five years. And no one who
was at the farewell party for Jack
v. hen he went away to war will forget
the desperate sobbing of Olive
I liomas that broke up the party.
\\ hen, a few years later, the gay,
young, tempestuous marriage came to
a tragic end in a Fans hotel room,
Jack Pickford suffered a blow from
which he never recovered.

lie rntd to pick up the broken
strands of his life. He tried to go on
with his screen career. In 1922, he
even married again — this time win-
ning another great Broadway favorite,

Marilyn Miller. I his marriage, how-
ever, was doomed from the start — by
the fact that he was on one Coast and
she on the other, if for no other
reason. They parted — friends. He
left the screen. Only occasionally did
the public hear of him.

Ruth Chatterton Helps Husband
Buy Play— Forbes Asks Her

To Direct It

Couple Outbid Two Movie Companies To Get English Stage Hit,
Which Will Star Ralph— Ruth His Partner, Not His "Backer"

Janet burden

A FEW months ago,
Hollywood was say-
ing that Ruth Chatterton
and her husband, Ralph
Forbes, were on the verge
of divorce. Now Holly-
wood is saying that Ruth
has gone to considerable
expense and effort to
stimulate interest in the
"waning career" of her
husband by purchasing a
play, which she will direct
and which will star Ralph !

"Forbes is slipping," the
chatterers will tell you,
"and Chatterton is trying
to bring him back!"

It's a good story — but it
just doesn't happen to be
true, any more than were
those divorce rumors of
last December. Ruth

Chatterton has bought a
play, called "Counsel's
Opinion," and will direct
it. The play will star Ralph
Forbes, supported by Rose
Hobart. It is not true that Miss
Chatterton refuses to sell the movie
rights of the play unless Forbes is sold
with them. According to the two who
should know best about it, here is the
true story of the venture:

Several months ago, Ralph Forbes
became interested in this English
stage hit He thought it would be
equally successful in America, as it
offered opportunities for both stage
and film production. It looked like
a good investment — and Forbes, by
no means "broke," started negotia-
tions to buy the story, purely as a
business venture. (Ralph Forbes
made #75,000 last year, and if that is
"broke," then most of us are in the
poorhouse. And as for his being

Hollywood heard that
alone had bought the
that she and Ralph are
ing above. But Holly
was wrong — again

"through" on the screen, he

head in "Thunder Below.")
But just as Forbes was
about to close the deal on
"Counsel's Opinion," two
major movie companies
started bidding for it. The
price^finally became so steep
that he put the proposition
before Ruth Chatterton and
suggested that they buy it in
partnership, each taking a
half-interest. After she read
the play. Miss Chatterton
was equally "sold" on it and
between them they topped
the offers made by the film
companies.

The production of the play
— which may be renamed
"Let Us Divorce" — is purely
a business
venture, in
which they are
equally inter-
ested. As the
leading role
fits Forbes to
perfection, he
would be an ex-
tremely foolish
business man
not to play it.
And, like any
other producer,
Ralph is merely
anxious for the
success of
what has
turned out to
be a big invest-
ment and he is perfectly willing to sell
the story to a film producer.

"I asked Ruth to direct the play,"
explains Forbes, "because I consider
ler the finest stage director in
America to-day. It is too bad that
her association with this venture
resulted in such absurd gossip."

Leo Carrillo —
an Hombre after
your own heart

Here's the answer to that question: Is he just
a good actor, or is he really Spanish? And
to that other question: "Why is he the only
screen star ever invited to California s most
exclusive parties?" He's a gay caballero you
ought to know better!

By J. Eugene chrisman

ELISSA LANDI may be granddaughter of an
Austrian Empress, Ivan Lebedeff may be a
Russian Count, Mary Pickford and Douglas
' Fairbanks and Charlie Chaplin may pal
around with the English nobility, and Constance
Bennett may bear one of the proudest titles in all
France — but did you know that there is only one
screen star who is ever admitted to the aristocracy
of old California, itself? And that this star is none
other than Leo Carrillo, Hollywood's gayest caba-
llero and the star who has the most colorful back-
ground of them all, perhaps?

When the Del Yalles, the Bandinis, the Vallejos and the
Dominguez' and other proud scions of California's First
Families gather to hold fiesta, only Carrillo, of all the
elite of filmdom, is invited. (And maybe this doesn't
burn up some of the other stars!) But I ask you to remem-
ber that his name is pronounced Car-ree-yo, not Car-
rill-o, and that he is the great-great-grandson of one of
California's first provincial governors and descendant of
Juan Leon Carrillo, who landed with the conquistadores
of Cortez to sack the treasure troves of the Aztecs.

"My ancestors?" Don Leo lifts an eloquent eyebrow.
"Yes, but do not blame me. I am proud of them, si, but
after all it is what one does with one's own life that
counts."

A strange and fascinating personality, this son of old
Spanish California. In spite of his proud ancestry, he is,
above all, human and close to the people. He is equally
at home with governors and with gangsters, numbering
several of each among his intimate friends. The Mexican
peons whom he often invites to his home are treated with
the same gracious, old-world courtesy he accords the
wealthy and the famous.

As Young As They Come

MY FIRST glimpse of him was at the preview of bis
picture, "Homicide Squad," held in Glendale. Un-
able to find a seat, he had joined a group of ragged
urchins who squatted in the aisles, and was enjoying him-
self with all the gusto of a youngster at a circus. They

Lonftworth

didn't know who he was, but he got along with them like
a pal. There is something infectious about his exuber-
ance. Maybe you have caught it, too.

He is an author and an artist, as well as an actor — so
he has three outlets for this exuberance; and he's about
to adopt a young boy, to have still another outlet. His
romantic history of early California is considered a classic.
Besides Fnglish and Spanish, he speaks Italian, Chinese
and Japanese fluently, and he attributes the success of
his screen characterizations to his intimate contact with
people of all classes, races and creeds. Jack London was
his friend, and he was with O. Henry just before the great
short-story writer died. Like them, he is a keen student
of human nature.

The name of Carrillo is one that is stamped indelibly
upon the history of California. Don Leo is related by
either blood or marriage to the majority of those proud
families whose cattle roamed the hills in uncounted thou-
sands and who measured their land holdings by the square
mile in the days before the gringo came, llis great-great-
grandfather, Don Carlos Antonio Carrillo, was one of the
first governors of this vast Mexican province, in 1837-38,
and was married to Don Leo's great-great-grandmother
m old Carmel Mission by 1' ra Junipero Serra, founder of
the missions in the late Eighteenth Century. Their mar-
riage was made possible by special dispensation ol King

PICTURE

GANGDOM has challenged the movies! Lifting
its ugly head, the world of racketeering has put
the ringer on the picture business. The pro-
ducers are to be told what films they can or
cannot make, or else —

These statements are no figments of a press-agent's
imagination. The situation is here! It exists in the mys-
terious campaign to ban "Scarface," Howard Hughes'
masterly expose of gangdom. Other producers have made
gang pictures before — and since — "Scarface" was made,
and no one bothered them. Why, then, this insidious but
determined effort to cut or ban entirely this terrific in-
dictment of gang rule in America? Who is afraid of its
effect upon the public?

Let us tell you what happened. Here, for the first time,
is the story of Howard Hughes' fight to get "Scarface"
on the screen. It is a dramatic fight, and a fine one, but it
is not won yet. You still have your part to do.

Hughes is intellectually honest with his pictures. He
never wabbles or turns saccharine. He does not com-
promise. When he decided to
make "Scarface," he didn't even
bother to camouflage the fact that

What Scared the Gangsters

THE St. Valentine's Day massacre of seven Chicago
gangsters is one of those incidents. The killing of
"Big Jim" Colosimo in his cafe is another. The murder of
Tony Lombardi in his flower shop, after which Capone
rose to power not only in Chicago, but in all America, is
still another incident. The shooting of Jack ("Legs")
Diamond while he was in a hospital is woven into the
story, and the finale is taken from the bombardment, by
several hundred New York police,
of the stronghold of Francis (Two

Gun") Crowley.

fighting mad. It is, perhaps, the most daring story
inside story of the greatest expose of gangdom
effort ever made to keep a picture from the
see Scarface. But will you see it, or won t you?

Strong stuff, this — stuff that hits
close to home, stuff that didn't have
to originate in any fiction-writer's
imagination.

W ord of "Scarface" got out to
gangland. Shortly before the
picture was finished, Howard
Hawks, the director, received
several telephone calls from
Chicago gangsters who were

Some Things

Ann Harding

Has Never Told

Till Now

ANN HARDING lives on the

/\ highest hill in Hollywood.

/ — \ From the beautiful white
JL Jl. house that she and her hus-
band built out of their own minds,
she can see all the movie colony
spread out below and it looks like
a colony of insects. She is not
happy in this magnificent house
with all the things sup-
posed to make for hap-
piness. She is "jit-
tery" with Holly-
wood. She is dis-
gusted with
"moom pictures."

High above Cahu-
enga Pass, these great
windows, out of which she
is always looking and which
dwart the Hollywood world
into something acutely
small, have given her a new
perspective in harmony with
an old desire. For Ann Hard-
ing has a secret: She wants
to write.

She wants to write so in-
tensely that the desire has be-
come a sort of hunger, which
looks out ot her delicate pale face
and makes her pale blue eyes
dreamy as she stands before the
huge windows — windows that
make transparent and pretty
aimless the doings
of the insect world
below.

"I shall prob-
ably never be able
to do it," she con-
fessed. "That's
why I don't feel I
ought to talk about my try
ing to write. But ever
since I've lived up
here and have look-
ed out these win-
dows ..."

Did you know that she is jittery
with Hollywood — that she wants to
leave the screen — that she longs to
write and so back to the stage?
And do you know why she has
these desires? She tells you in this
exclusive interview!

Tends to Her Knitting

HE interrupted herself with a smile — the
one that on the screen deflates the ego of
some vapid suitor; she glided from the
window with the widely-spaced steps
that are typical of her. Ann Harding
can turn off her dreams like turn-
ing off an electric switch and be
practical on the instant. She is
above all things practical. She
was practical now. She took up
a pink bundle of yarn and sat
down before the fire — to knit.
Imagine, if you will, any other
screen star knitting — even before
an interviewer.
"It's one of those things to wear
over the shoulders when I have
breakfast in bed. The mornings
have been so cold."

"Hello, Mother!"
A little figure had come hopping into
the room — a little figure with two long
curls the color of Ann Harding's own
pale golden hair. It was Jane,
three-and-a-half-year-old edition
of her mother, a quickly-moving,
tautly nervous child — and a much-
guarded child since the Lindbergh
kidnaping. Escaped now from
her nurse, she was dancing
around us, improvising the
dialogue of an imaginary
play-scene.

The child danced away
laughing, to be recap-
tured by the stolid nurse.
A Jap boy, noiseless, as
if on castors, rolled away
with the remains of our
tea. We lighted cigarettes.
Small flames were eating
at the heap of logs in the
great fireplace. Outside
the windows, the clouds
were boiling down above
Cahuenga Pass. It was
cold in Hollywood.

feeling the coldness and
inconsistency of Holly-
wood— a condition with-
out relation to the

The Life Story
or a

Dangerous

Man

That's what they call Warren
William — because he looks the part
and has become a star after only six
pictures. He s suspected of having
a Past. Here are the facts about him!

By Gladys Hall

THEY say that Warren William looks
like John Barrymore, talks like John
Barrymore, is like John Barrymore — with
a dash of Adolphe Menjou thrown in.
They say that he is dangerous. He is called a
Romantic Menace. With that smile and those
eyes, he looks as if he might have a Past. As a gal once
observed to me, longingly if inelegantly, "That Warren
William — he has what it takes !"

You've seen him fairly recently with Lil Dagover in
"The Woman from Monte Carlo." You've also seen him
with Bebe Daniels in "The Honor of the Family." You've
watched him playing opposite Marian Marsh in "Under
Eighteen." His most recent effort has been "The Mouth-
piece," which was, at once, his seventh picture and his
stardom.

How did he get this way? What is his past? Did he
grow up in some Continental city, exploring life and love,
wise in the ways of women and the wiles of the world?
^ ou'll be surprised!

Warren was born, of solid German parents, in the very
small town of Atkins, Minnesota — in such a town, among
such people, as Sinclair Lewis wrote about in "Main
Street." His father published a couple of small-town
newspapers and always wished that he had been an actor.
In those days, Warren told me, it wasn't respectable to be
an actor. He added, "It probably isn't now — "

When Warren was a youngster, he thought he'd like to
become an engineer. But as he could never add two and
two together and make them come out four, he decided
that he lacked the proper qualifications. At times it
appealed to him to be a newspaper publisher like Dad.

Would you think,
to look at Warren
William, who
reaches stardom in
"T he Mouth-
piece," that he
grew up in an
American small
town?

It would be fun to say what he really
thought about neighbors who got snooty
when their windows were broken or a
can was tied to their old cat's tail. He
was that kind of small boy.

He never paid any attention to small
girls, except his two sisters, and there he couldn't help
himself. Girls were nuisances, cry-babies, pests. He had,
really, only one passion, and it might not be going too far
to say that he has only one passion now — the same one.
He longed for the sea. As a boy his most absorbing game
was to play in water — puddles left by the rains, brooks,
the lakes that dot his native state. Blue water with a
white sail on it was bluer and fairer to Warren than any
girl's blue eyes topped by a white hair ribbon . . .

He never once thought of becoming an actor. He didn't
know any actors. He never even thought about actors.
There had never been a theatrical personage in the family.
They were all musical, the William family.

In high school, Warren took small parts in the school
plays, but no one ever paid much attention to his desultory
and usually minor performances. No one ever said,
"Here is another Booth!" Least of all, himself. He took
it all as a part of the school work and got through the
performances as he got through the Latin grammar.

He graduated from high school without an idea of what
he wanted to be. One of his sisters said to him, at random,
"Why don't you be an actor, Warren?" And that casual
sentence decided him.

He couldn't think of any good reason why he should not
be an actor. So he packed his bags, took a train for New

Hollywood Called It Madness,
But Columbo Called It Luck

Russ Columbo used to do the vocal work for screen heroes who were supposed

to be singing — but he never got a break, himself. And when a famous song-writer

"discovered" him and predicted he would be a radio sensation, Hollywood

laughed. Now the producers are asking Russ to give THEM a break!

RUSS c o -
LUMB O,
believe it or
^ not (and
Mr. Ripley has docu-
ments on file to prove
it), is the twelfth child
of a twelfth child of a
twelfth child.The mag-
ic of the number twelve
has spun itself into
the entire fabric of his
life. And with music
and Latin heroes com-
ing back to the screen,
it's a bet that in the
next twelve months,
he'll be back in Hol-
lywood— where he got
his start. He has
proved that he can get
along without Holly-
wood, but can the
movies get along with-
out the Columbo that
America has discov-
ered?

It was almost twelve
weeks to the hour from
the night lie was
" found " in an obscure
Hollywood night-club
by Con Conrad, the
song-writer, until the
afternoon last October
when he was called
into the offices of the
National Broadcasting

Company in New York and signed to a radio contract.
Twelve short, but eventful weeks that brought him from
the oblivion of an off-stage voice in the movies to the
pinnacle of popularity with millions of radio followers
throughout America!

And again the number twelve! The lucky stars that
found him in Hollywood and led him away from an
income of fifty dollars a week (some weeks) are com-
manding for him twelve hundred dollars a day at present.

Russ was born in San Francisco on a rainy day in 1908.
An electrical storm had devastated the city's telephone
system, and Russ's father still swears to the story that it
took twelve attempts to get word to
the family physician that his pres-
ence was an immediate necessity. By PAUL

Lansing Brown

His Real Name
HE nervous and
distraught parent
was so elated that his
twelfth child was a son
that he decided to
give the infant an im-
posing name — and so
the future Romeo was
christened Ruggerio
Eugenio di Rodolpho
Columbo. The family,
incidentally, traces its
lineage back to the
great Italian discov-
erer, for whom is
claimed the relation-
ship of a great-to-the-
nth -degree-grand-
father. Expediency
soon cut the long name
down to "Russ," al-
though his mother and
father to this day call
him "Ruggerio Euge-
nio." It is a matter of
ritual and superstition
with them.

When Russ was five,
his family moved to
Philadelphia, where
his father engaged in
the private banking
business. The bank
was a small one in the
Italian quarters of the
city. In a tenement
house next-door to the
bank lived one Antonio Laveri, a teacher of music, who
had been in this country but a few years. In Rome,
Laveri had been a famous voice and music teacher and it
was to his garret quarters that Columbo, Sr., took his son
for a musical education.

In short order Russ was playing a guitar that was almost

as large as himself, and before the first twelve months of

his instruction had been completed, the lad was singing the

Italian operas with a display of talent that was unique for

one of his immature years. Financial reverses and the

death of two of his brothers compelled the Columbo family

to return Westward, and this time they settled in the

growing village of Hollywood.

Russ's father went into the con-

Who Arc the NEW Garbos
of the Screen?

{Continued from page 21)

in London, two years after her debut, was
starred in three English pictures. She also
made pictures in Germany, which may ac-
count for the rumor that she had "under-
studied" Marlene Dietrich in that country.
This is not true. Sari has never done stage
work and was better known as a film star in
Europe than Marlene.

Sari (whose name is pronounced Shar-ee
Mar-eet-za) says she does not want to do
mysterious, exotic roles in American pic-
tures. She believes her forte to be light
comedy, and her first Paramount picture, in
which she will be featured, not starred, is
likely to be "The Girl in the Headlines."
This will offer little Maritza something of a
Nancy Carroll role — the innocent little girl
who is mistaken for a "lady with a past."
She should be plenty interesting — even
though Sari is a cinch not to cause Garbo a
single haunted night.

The One Who's Most Like Garbo

AT Universal, they are equally anxious to
L preserve Tala Birell from the hatchets
of those who insist there can be only one
Garbo. According to Tala, herself, nothing
will make her so miserable as to be compared
to Garbo. But in spite of all that Universal
or Tala can do, she is bound to evoke com-
parisons.

She is more of an authentic exotic than
Sari Maritza. She is calm and quiet — which
necessarily spells mystery to Hollywood.
She is blonde, tall, willowy, unusual looking.
She lives quietly with her sister and has
never attended a Hollywood party — from
natural choice. But such isolation is so defi-
nitely stamped a part of the Garbo legend
that it will be difficult for Tala to deny that,
in this at least, she is like Garbo.

•At first glance, she is not beautiful — but
her face is singularly fascinating. Her move-
ments have an awkward grace. Her figure is
commonly termed "boyish." (Incidentally,
she is the first of all the foreign charmers to
have the Garbo figure.) She seems shy and
anxious to be agreeable and liked — one of
the few ways in which she differs from
Garbo.

She was born Natalie Bierl in Bucharest,
Roumania, in 1908. Her family was in pros-
perous circumstances during the early years
of her life and Natalie, or Tala, enjoyed the
finest schooling available. Financial disaster
overtook her father when Tala was about
ten and, from-then on, things were very hard
for the little family. Her mother who, before
her marriage to Mr. Bierl, was the Baroness
Sahaydahowska of Poland, accepted any
kind of work that would mean bread and a
roof over the head of Tala and her sister. To
this day, Tala's chief ambition is to make so
much money in pictures that her mother can
live in luxury for the rest of her life.

She became interested in the stage at the
age of fifteen, and through her vocal teacher
she managed to get an engagement in "Ma-
dame Pompadour." Max Reinhardt saw her
in this small role and signed her immediately
for the lead in "Es Liegt in der Luft" in
Berlin. Her success was instantaneous and
she alternated European stage productions
with European films.

How Talented Tala Is

ALMOST a year ago she was engaged by
t Universal to come to America to make
the German version of the picture "Boudoir
Diplomat," and so intrigued were the
Laemmles that she was given a long-term
contract. For seven months Carl Laemmle,
Jr., searched for a suitable screen story for
her, while Tala perfected her English. After
many plays and scenarios had been read, it
was decided that Tala should make her star-
ring debut before the American public in
"Mountains in Flame." In this, she plays a
peasant girl; but in "Nana," her second pic-
ture, she will play a worldly courtesan.

Tala Birell can't escape it — she is going to
be compared to Garbo — but with a little fair
play from the public, she should be an inter-
esting addition to the field of exotics.

Lil Dagover, First National's contribu-
tion to the ranks of the exotics, is a more
familiar figure to the American public, as her
first starring picture, "The Woman from
Monte Carlo," has been released for several
months. It is the opinion of a great many
critics that Dagover was innocently a pawn
in a great studio's move to manufacture an
alluring star to compete with Garbo.

Her first picture did not live up to any
such expectation. Dagover seemed unnatu-
rally repressed and her close-ups throughout
the film seemed studiedly similar to Greta's.
As another Garbo she did not quite fill the
bill. Yet a great many people believe that
Dagover's second film venture in America
will prove more successful. Even the studio
who sponsored her is looking for a story
more animated and more adapted to her in-
dividual talents.

Pola a Brunette Rival?

RKO heads its imported-glamour list with
the name of Pola Negri, who's bru-
nette, not blonde like Garbo. Strictly speak-
ing, Pola is not a "new" exotic. In the days
of silent pictures, she was a scarlet flame of
interest in the movie world. But her studio
feels that in the new, talking Pola a different
and fascinating figure will take her place
upon the screen. "You have never seen
Negri until you hear her" is their boast. And
so, because Pola offers a new angle on an old
movie flame, she is included in this list of
experimental exotics. Particularly since she
has a voice almost as deep as Garbo's.

In "The Woman Between" and "Friends
and Lovers," RKO was suspected of trying
to build Lily Damita into "another Garbo,"
but Lily just couldn't be anyone but her
own spontaneous, gay self. Pola, however,
likes tragic roles.

Humorously enough, M-G-M finds itself
holding a contract with a girl, who, by no
conscious effort on the studio's part, threat-
ens to develop into Garbo competition —
Karen Morley. The moviegoers, themselves,
have made an exotic of this American college
girl who talks with such a deep, husky
"Garbo" voice. Karen, too, is blonde and
tall and built along the slender lines that
Garbo has made famous.

It would.be amusing if the real, honest-to-
goodness Garbo "menace" were developed
right under the nose of the home studio !

Did You Knoiv That . . .

Paul Muni, who plays the title role of "Scarface" (see page 42), never wants to be a star — as stars
can so seldom do a variety of roles ?

Randolph Scott (see page 29) is going to be developed into a Western hero, beginning with "Lone
Cowboy" ?

Rudy Vallee (see page 30) is planning to buy a home, himself, on the West Coast — and that this
may mean he's interested in movies again ?

Janet Gaynor, in every picture, wears for a moment or two the "lucky" brogues she wore in
"Seventh Heaven" ?

Hollywood Speaks Its Mind
About Tallulah Bankhead

{Continued from page 26)

another to know her through every-day
working hours. We made a picture together
in the East, 'My Sin,' and while it wasn't a
world-beater as a picture — it proved one
thing very definitely. Tallulah is one swell
scout to work with. She's never tempera-
mental— except with important people.
The 'props' and the cameramen swear by
her."

A Certain Exclusive Photographer: "What
eyes! What poise! What a mouth! What
champagne! What a woman!"

Marie Dressier: "I haven't met her, my
dear, but do tell me about her. Is she as
original and interesting as I hear she is?
Tell me at once all the witty and daring
things she says. I assure you I am not too
young to hear."

"She's What the Public Wants"

ERNST LUBITSCH, director: "She has
color — she is different. So far the
camera has not seen her best work. Her
stories must be selected with the same care
as are Garbo's and Dietrich's to do Miss
Bankhead justice. But as a personality she
is what the public wants right now — a
smart, sophisticated woman."

Eileen Percy, former screen star and now a
social columnist: " I haven't seen her around
much. Not at parties, anyway. But she
must be a real movie fan from all I've seen
and heard. I've seen her at a couple of
previews, myself. She sits off quietly in a
dark corner, usually trying to get an un-
interrupted puff on a cigarette before an
usher catches her. She doesn't have much
luck! Those ushers are really firemen in
disguise — if you were to ask Tallulah."

We were all set to ask Marlene Dietrich
her reaction to the startling woman who will
divide Paramount queening honors with
her, when someone tipped us off that
Tallulah and Marlene weren't supposed to
be so friendly. The story goes that they met
at a big formal tea. Just because the girls
didn't drawl over one another in a general
breakdown of gushing flattery, the hint got
around that things weren't so pink between
them. Just a hint, you understand, but
somehow we didn't stop Alarlene to ask her
about Tallulah.

William Haines: "She's renting my
Hollywood house, and all I can say is that
she is one grand tenant. I've met her only
once in one of those landlord-tenant sessions
to see that everything about the house was
all right. They tell me she likes my house so
well she doesn't like to go out to parties, but
wants her friends to come to her. I'm glad
she likes the place — it's flattering. She
strikes me as a person of rare good taste."

Why Dot Wants to Know Her

DOROTHY MACKAILL: "If she put
dear old London on its ear the way
I've read she did, she must be glorious. I'd
like to know her."

"Sunshine" Duncan, hostess at the Em-
bassy Club: "You could have knocked me
over with a feather the first day she came up
here. I don't know what I had expected
from Tallulah Bankhead — but, anyway, she
wasn't it. She came in late with her man-
ager and took an inconspicuous table off in a

corner. I suppose I expected the sensa-
tional Tallulah to talk in a hoarse voice that
could be heard all over the room — but she
was the quietest and most inconspicuous
luncher we've had in many a day. She wore
a plain suit and a little hat pulled down over
her head. And she ate a real honest-to-
goodness non-diet meal. I don't believe her
figure is as thin as most of our Hollywood
stars, bur she seems to enjoy herself a little
more — at least, at lunch time."

Joan Crawford: "Douglas has known
Tallulah for years and years. We came out
on the train with her. She's one grand
traveling companion. We all laughed until
we ached. Of course, Hollywood is terribly
on tiptoe about Tallulah — and the funny
part of it is Tallulah is just as interested
about Hollywood. She wanted to know all
there was to know about Greta Garbo and
Jackie Cooper. Her two screen favorites
reveal as much as anything the extremes in
Tallulah's make-up. Greta and Jackie are
her favorite stars."

One of Gable's Regrets

CLARK GABLE- "Of course, I would
enjoy playing opposite her — though it
isn't very likely that anything like that
could happen, due to contracts and things.
But the time will never come that I wouldn't
enjoy making a picture with a star as inter-
esting as Miss Bankhead. I've seen one of
her pictures."

LupeVelez: "Me? I thought Lupe would
bust when she read that thees Miss Bank-
head say Garee Cooper ees too meek as a
loffer. She mus' have sense of humor like
Lupe's."

Josef von Sternberg, director: "Her screen
stories have not been particularly good so
far. It is difficult to judge her as an
actress."

Mary Brian: " I've seen her several times
about Hollywood — at lunch or at the
theatre — and I think her fascinating, really.
She seems to be one of those persons that
other women just love to look at. Her
clothes are awfully smart and in such good
taste. Personally, I know that when Miss
Bankhead is around I hate to take my eyes
off her lest she should do something start-
ling when I'm not looking. But so far she
has been the quietest and most dignified
person present."

Ina Claire: "There's no one quite like
Tallulah. You never know what she is going
to say or do. I had tea with her soon after
she arrived in Hollywood. She was reading
a play when I arrived. 'Here, Ina,' she said,
' here is a play written for me. I can never
do a play written for me. You would be
grand in it.' "

Louella Parsons, famous movie columnist:
"The Hollywood writers should certainly
be grateful for Tallulah. She will furnish
them a world of color. And Hollywood does
need color. Imagine the hostess at a tea
party calmly lying down on the divan and
taking a nap in the midst of the festivities!
Tallulah did just that — not because she
wanted to show off or be different — but be-
cause Tallulah always does just wdiat she
wants to do when she wants to do it. Per-
sonally, I'm for Tallulah — and color!"

Did You Know That . . .

Tallulah Bankhead denied she was engaged to Joel McCrea by saying: "Ridiculous! I've met the
man only once!" ?

Elissa Landi's third novel. "House for Sale." has just come off the presses?

How do Dancers
Manage?

The professional engagements of a dancer
make no allowance for the trying time
of a woman's monthly sickness. Menstru-
ating must not interfere with her easy,
effortless performance.

There was a time when a stage career
was closed to any woman whose periods
were too severe. But this handicap has
now been removed. Women of the stage
(and a million others) use Midol.

What is Midol? It isn't some sinister
drug. It isn't even a narcotic. In fact,
is as harmless as the aspirin you take for
a headache. But one little tablet stops all
discomfort five to seven minutes after
it is swallowed! And if you anticipate
your time and take Midol just before,
you won't have even that first twinge of
periodic pain.

So, the time of month doesn't bother
the dancer who has learned to rely on
Midol. She is always in line, on time, on
her toes and smiling. This merciful
medicine protects her from the possibility
of such pain for hours at a stretch. It
brings complete comfort, and it does not
interfere with the natural, normal men-
strual process. So, it's folly for any woman
to suffer at any stage of her monthly
period. Any drugstore has the slim little
box that tucks in your purse. Just ask
for Midol.

"gangsters." In fact, such hoodlums are
only small pawns in a great game. When
they "rub someone out," they are merely
acting on orders from higher-ups. Racke-
teering and gangdom couldn't exist for a
minute if police and other officials were all
honest. The fact that it does exist un-
hindered means that gangster money has
been "split" in bribes. Protection is sold —
by someone in political power. And in this
case the crooked politician is just as much a
racketeer and gangster as Capone, the late
"Legs" Diamond or the late Vincent Coll.
(By the way, the shooting of innocent chil-
dren, for which Coll was tried, is also
mentioned in this picture.)

No wonder the underworld didn't want
"Scarface" shown to an already outraged
citizenry just at the time when Judge Sea-
bury was "putting on the heat"!

When the word went out that "Scarface"
was to be stopped, gangdom immediately
decided its strongest weapon was — CEN-
SORSHIP. In every state where it exists,
censorship is a political matter. Censors
are politicians, appointed by politicians,
doing the bidding of politicians. And it has
been proved — not only in New York, but in
other cities — that gangdom can often get to
politicians.

The word was mysteriously passed along
to United Artists, which was to release the
picture, and to the office of Will H. Hays,
head of the Motion Picture Producers and
Distributors of America, Inc., that "Scar-
face" must not be shown in its original
form. The career of Al Capone was too
touchy a matter to tamper with.

What Capone, Himself, Said

IF you think it is a far-fetched idea that
gangdom was worried, you have only to
refer to two interviews given out by Al
Capone in person — one to the International
News Service, and one to Cornelius Yander-
bilt, Jr., which was published in Liberty.

"I think these gangster pictures should
be stopped," said Capone. "They are bad
for the kiddies."

Now here comes the strangest situation of
all, and one which is probably the blackest
mark against censorship.

At the time he was in Hollywood for the
Academy banquet, promising in a speech
directed to Vice-President Charles Curtis
that "motion pictures will carry the flag,"
Mr. Hays asked Howard Hughes to show
him a print of "Scarface," as there had
been agitation about it.

After seeing it, Mr. Hays advised Hughes
that the picture must be "changed" and
"toned down." The title "Scarface" must
absolutely be dropped.

In vain did Hughes point out that every
gangster picture for a year had been passed,
including some sentimental and sloppy ones,
making gangsters romantic figures. "The
Doorway To Hell," "The Secret Six," "A
Free Soul," "Little Caesar," "The Public
Enemy," "The Star Witness," "The
Finger Points," "The Vice Squad" — you
could name a score more — all were passed.

That "Scarface" was so much more hon-
est and forceful, than any of them seemed to
make no difference. It was contended that
showing "Scarface" might cause censor-
ship and political trouble, and opposition
from women's clubs. Information had been
received that "Scarface" in its present
form would not be passed by the New York
censors. Why? The only explanation seems
to be that "the word" had gone out. The
public mind must not be inflamed against

gangsters and corrupt government any
further, at this crucial political time.

A Challenge to You

THE foreword that appeared on the film
was a direct challenge to the public
It read:

" This picture is an indictment of gang
rule in America and of the callous indiffer-
ence of the government to this constantly in-
creasing menace to our safety and our liberty.

"Every incident in this picture is the re-
production of an actual occurrence, and the
purpose of this picture is to demand of the
government: ' What are you going to do
about it?'

" The government is your government.
What are YOU going to do about it?"

This, of course, might be an uncomfort-
able question to have the voters answer.

Mr. Hays insisted that various shooting
scenes should be eliminated from the pic-
ture, and wanted a new foreword, advocat-
ing a law against carrying guns — a weak
gesture at best, compared to the above
strong appeal. The picture was to be chang-
ed, its teeth were to be pulled — it was to be
a compromise that it might get by the
censors. The censors, who operate in only a
few states, would not be fought.

Hughes had already spent six hundred
thousand dollars in making the picture, and
he wanted to get it back, with a profit. To
get the picture widely released, he spent
nearly a hundred thousand dollars more in
making the changes recommended. He hated
to spend the extra money, but much more
unwillingly, he made the changes.

A foreword advocating anti-gun legisla-
tion was substituted. Many of the strongest
scenes were eliminated, including the St.
Valentine's Day massacre, and the end in
which Scarface, trapped in his fortified
apartment, is finally blasted out by tear gas
bombs to meet a violent end.

How Scarface Was To End

ANEW ending was insisted upon — one
in which Scarface was to be politely
but firmly arrested, tried in a long trial,
found guilty, sentenced, and then majes-
tically taken off to be hanged.

Hughes objected to this on the ground
that no gangster of note has been hanged,
and very few imprisoned — Al Capone was
put in jail because he failed to make an in-
come tax return on his racketeering millions.
The upshot of it all was that Hughes made
the new ending. He injected scenes in
which officials made speeches on law and
order.

It was suggested that the title "Scar-
face," be changed to some lofty and highly
inspirational title — one that would camou-
flage the fact that this was a gangster pic-
ture, thus getting it by the censors.

After many conferences, it was agreed to
use the title, "The Shame of a Nation."
Hughes couldn't stomach this, and, being
honest and not liking to wiggle around cor-
ners, wanted to keep some semblance of the
"Scarface" title. He suggested "The
Scar." Then the opposing faction objected,
and the title became "The Scar on the
Nation."

Col. Jason Joy, a member of the Hays
organization in Hollywood, went East, at
Hughes' expense, with a print of the amend-
ed picture. Police Commissioner Mul-
rooney of New York wrote a strong in-
dorsement of the picture, which was in-
corporated in the film.

supple.

"An J. also, you should use Woodbury "s Facial

protective cream before going outdoors. It pre-
vents dust and powder from entering the pores,
and shields your skin from the drying effects
of wind and sun."

Some Things Ann Harding
Has Never fold Fill Now

(Continued from page 44)

weather. She has felt it because she is, in
spite of her huge practical streak, an artist,
with an artist's sensitivity.

"Too much goes into your performance
in pictures that you're not responsible for,"
she explained. "Rhythm, timing, spacing
— the things that make up a good stage
performance — they are all done for you by
other people, cutters, sound engineers, a
host of others, f think that anything even
bordering on the creative has to be the
product of one brain." She flashed a smile
that mocked the serious words and added:
"That's why I'm jittery with it all."

About Her Writing

SHE is jittery with the Hollywood fac-
tory system and perhaps that, also, has
something to do with her new twist of
ambition — her urge to express herself in a
medium that is unhampered — her desire to
write.

Ann Harding is not presumptuous
enough to talk about her first efforts at
writing fiction. She does not think they are
good enough to talk about. But she ad-
mitted that she has always wanted to
write. She is writing for the first time now
because it is the first time she has had the
time. She is working hard at the self-
imposed job — harder than the average cub
reporter on a newspaper. Writing a lot,
tearing up a lot that she has written. There
have been so many stories in her life — so
many interesting things have happened to
her and others she knows. But it is not
always easy to turn the vivid recollections
of the past into smooth, easy prose — and
nothing less will satisfy this amateur crafts-
man.

Ann has a guide in her work, a young
woman who was formerly with a New York
publishing house. She is also Ann's secre-
tary. She reads her work and criticizes it.
Nobody else — not even Harry C. Bannister,
the actor-husband who is so near to her in
everything else — ever sees a line of what
may be announced some day as a first
novel by Ann Harding.

As a child, she felt this urge to write; it
was her first conscious form of self-expres-
sion. Then she was sidetracked into the
theatre — an amazing story. A story of how-
Dorothy Gatley, working as a stenog-
rapher for the Metropolitan Life Insurance
Company, fed up on her job, crashed the
gate of the Provincetown Players in Green-
wich Village. From then on Dorothy Gat-
ley, stenographer, was Ann Harding, a
Broadway star. Beginning with "Tar-
nished," through "The Trial of Mary
Dugan," she shot from one triumph to an-
other till she had gained an eminence in her
craft that made her eligible for a fat con-
tract in the movies.

And the movies have disillusioned her,
sickened her, made her regret she ever
entered them. Now she has to reconstruct
her world — the world she knew as a stage
artist, the world the movies have de-
stroyed for her.

Guesses She's Temperamental
"T CONSIDER myself through with
± 'moom pictures' even now," she told
me with a smile, the frankly cheerful smile
that makes her such good company on the
screen. " I'm temperamental, Mr. Ryan. I
thought they were paying me for something
more than just a face to photograph and a
voice to register. But if that's all they will
take, that's all I can give them. That's
being temperamental, I guess, isn't it?"

"Sounds like good sense to me."

"Not in the 'moom pictures'." She
leaned forward earnestly. "Won't you
please absolve me from blame for the pic-
tures in which I appear? I have no voice in
the selection of stories. And when it comes
to the making, the same holds true."

Then she confessed to an unusual thing.
This high-salaried star, who admits she
likes to take breakfast in bed, begged her
producers to let her make two pictures a
year instead of four and make them twice as
good and take half, instead of her full
salary. They merely laughed. They
refused her a voice in the treatment of
" Prestige," she said, and — "just locked me
up and brought me out when they were
ready to shoot."

She wanted badly to make "The Road to
Rome," the successful stage satire that the
studio had purchased at a cost of thirty-five
thousand dollars. No. For some inscrutable
reason this part, cut exactly to the Harding
measure, was refused her. They doubted
that they would make "The Road to
Rome." She believes the studio officials
thought it was over the heads of the
public.

"But I think public taste is definitely
underrated," she defended. "I think 'Hol-
iday' proved this. Here was a picture
of subtlety, abstract ideas, sophisticated
conversation — something of much higher
calibre than is usually turned out, and it
was a success."

But it was Ann Harding who fought for
the version of this successful movie that
finally reached the screen — the version that
preserved the feeling of the stage play.

She's Through Fighting Now

rHE difficulty in pictures, when you

X have a fine thing, is its translation. A
fine thing has to be well done or it's worse
than something not so good. I learned my
lesson in 'Prestige.' I worked like a dog,
digging, digging, trying to do better work
because the vehicle was weak, trying to lift
it. But I found that material can be so
impossible to do anything with that the
harder you work the worse you make it."

So she is done with fighting. She will do
the best she can, the best they will let her
do, and not kick. Oh yes, she had made a
lot of money in pictures — and she could
make a lot more. This house that she
dreamed out with her husband, Harry
Bannister — it was made possible with pic-
ture money. Their own miniature theatre,
the servants, the foreign nurses for little
Jane — these were all made possible by Hol-
lywood gold. But Ann is willing to give
them up. More than willing-eager. She wants
to write. She is writing. That is her side-
line. She is still an actress and hopes to go
on till she is playing old women on the stage.

"But I am looking forward now" — her
face with the pointed chin showed the eager-
ness of a child — " I am looking forward, not
to the next thing in pictures, but the next
thing after pictures. I want to go back to
the theatre. You can't get away from the
theatre. It does things to audiences!

"I'd like to go back to the Provincetown
Theatre as it w-as in Greenwich Village.
Lots of dirt and lots of coffee drunk during
the arguments in the little room upstairs —
but lots of fun and — something accom-
plished. I would be happy to go back to
play in Jasper Deeter's Hedgerow Theatre,
a little place in what used to be an old mill.
Anything but the commercial —

inatv.lv, most modern married women

sider it their right to know the safeguards
that protect feminine charm.

"It is important that a personal anriseptic
should have real germicidal value, while still
serving as a soothing lubricant to delicate
tissue. Many of the so-called feminine hy-
giene solutions fall short in one or the other of
these respects. Either they irritate and harden
tender membranes, or they become ineffective
in contact with organic matter.

"In my long professional practice, I have
found "I.ysol" disinfectant most effective for
feminine hygiene. "I.ysol" does not lose its
germicidal action in the presence of organic
matter. With its low surface tension, it
searches out and destroys undesirable bac-
teria lurking in hidden crevices which other
antiseptics fail to reach. It is always uniform
. . . retaining its strength no matter where, or

Some Things Ann Harding
Has Never Told Till Now

{Continued from page 64)

"But wouldn't it be commercial now — as
soon as Ann Harding's name went up in
lights?"

"I'd wear a wig if necessary — change my
name!" Her eyes expanded — amazingly.
Practical Ann Harding was the artist now,
explaining her second great ambition, tell-
ing her plans to take out a company and
tour the provinces with Susan Glaspell's
"Inheritors" and "Holiday" by Philip
Barry. "They're starving for flesh-and-
blood actors," she went on. "I know it.
The audiences all over the country, in the
lesser cities, country towns, everywhere —
they'll welcome the stage back again.

"No ermine!" she exclaimed, with a
wide, glowing gesture. "No foils, no Paris
gowns. No movie spotlight. No X-ray
publicity. Dignity, harmony — the pleasure
of doing a job you like quietly and the best
you can. That's what I hope to do."

"When?"

"Let's see. Oh, it's pretty far off," she
sighed. "Till May first, 1933 — if they
don't take up my option . . . And it's so
much money I don't think they will.
They'll come to me and say, ' In view of the
so and so and so and so, you'll have to take
a cut, Miss Harding ..."

Suddenly she was on her feet, waving a
gleeful farewell to an imaginary movie
magnate.

"Good-bye! You play in your yard — I'm
going to have fun!"

So Ann Harding really has two secrets.
And strangely enough, for so practical a
creature, they are both on the anti-practical
side.

What most amused the nearby lunchers was
the close resemblance of this unknown escort

Lawrence Tibbett has just recently mar-

The Tibbetts know their "type."

ETHEL Clayton filed suit for divorce
against Ian Keith and politely charged
"cruelty" — always a very nice, vague com-
plaint.

But Ian upset the apple-cart by being
very frank with the newspaper boys who
interviewed him in his dressing-room be-
tween acts of the stage play, "Grand Hotel."

"What really fretted Ethel," said Ian
graphically, "was my continual, confounded
drinking!"

JUST out of curiosity, Will Rogers decided
to drop into the city jail and visit Al
Capone during his (Will's) recent stop-
over in Chicago. Will wanted to keep his
visit a secret, but like all good celebrity-
secrets it landed on the front page of the
newspapers all over the country.

A great many small-town newspapers re-
sented Will's visit to the notorious gangster

picture and it was further suggested that

In mid-February it was finally shown to

A- it happened, this was a break for the

Howard Hughes got fighting mad. He
ordered the picture restored to its original
state, and the original title, "Scarface,"
returned. He announced to the world that,
despite all gangland opposition, he was go-
show the picture everywhere in the
United States where gangsters and corrupt

that in i.os Angeles the picture had been

women, clubwomen, and prominent crimi-

showed — marred her charm. She couldn't
keep that date. Couldn't, couldn't — no
matter how much Mother scolded!

Broken-hearted over her complexion.
Hiding away in her room — ashamed,
afraid to face people. That's Virginia
when her story starts — but she's a
"changed creature" when it ends!

She confesses . . .

"My complexion has always been dull
and muddy and sometimes it broke out.
Recently I have been in a badly rundown
state, thin, stomach often upset and feel-
ing low generally. My skin got worse
than ever. I was so ashamed of it that
one night when I had a date I actually
locked myself in my room.

"Lucky for me, a friend advised
Ironized Yeast. It purified my blood so
that my pimples vanished. It gave me
an appetite and I was able to take care
of all I ate. I gained six pounds in three
weeks." Miss Virginia McPherson,
6726 Honore St., Chicago, 111. This is only
one of hundreds of equally fine reports
from Ironized Yeast users everywhere.

Many quick results

A radiant complexion is only one of the
many benefits Ironized Yeast brings.
This wonderful tonic acts on the entire
system— helpsend constipation, nervous-
ness, that "always tired" feeling — at the
same time it builds firm, healthy flesh !

In IronizedYeast you get rich, specially
cultured, specially imported "beer yeast"

— concentrated seven times! Thus seven
pounds of "beer yeast" are used to make
one pound of the yeast concentrate used
in Ironized Yeast. The Biological Com-
mission of the League of Nations regards
this concentration process as so vitally
important that — at an official session in
Geneva, Switzerland — it recommended
its adoption as a world-wide standard.

Ironized Yeast is put through still
another scientific process. It is ironized
— treated with three distinct types of
energizing, blood -enriching iron. The
result is a pleasant, easy-to-take tonic
tablet — almost unrivalled in its amazing
body-building results. A tonic which
helps strengthen the nerves, thestomach,
the intestines — adds strong tissue, too!

Tested three times

Not only is Ironized Yeast manufactured
by trained experts, but it is triple-tested
for actual health-building results. These
tests are made by our own scientists, by
an eminent physician and by a professor
of Bio-Chemistry in a famous college.

GUARANTEED: Thousands once thin
and sickly now enjoy radiant health and
an attractive figure — thanks to Ironized
Yeast. If the very first package does not
help you, too, its cost will be gladly
refunded. AVOID IMITATIONS. Be
sure you get the genuine Ironized Yeast.
Look for the" I.Y." on each tablet. At all
druggists. Ironized Yeast Co., Atlanta.Ga.

After Your Own Heart

{Continued from page 41)

powerful Bandini family, sprung from Juan
Jose Bandini, an Italian adventurer who
landed near San Diego in the early Eight-
eenth Century. The Rancho Juahome, a
part of their holdings, was the locale of
Peter B. Kyne's story, "The Pride of
Palomar." It was here also that Colonel
Couts of Stockton's forces met and married
the Bandini girl who, with her own hands,
fashioned the first American flag ever to fly
in California.

'A simple people, those old pioneer dons,"
smiles Don Leo, "and they were like
children in the hands of the shrewd gringos.
They did not understand finance. When
debts or taxes came due, they snipped off a
few thousand acres of land to pay, as you
and I snip coupons. Once my family owned
millions of acres — and where is it now?
Don Carlos Antonio once traded the island
of Santa Rosa for eighteen hundred head of
wild cattle, and we sold the Coronado
Peninsula, now worth millions, for one
thousand dollars, in gold! The vast acres,
and the great haciendas are gone but, at
least, by my efforts to please Senor Gringo
on the screen and stage, we have a little
slice which was once ours — El Ranchito de
Los Ailisos ('The Little Ranch of the
Sycamores')."

"The Little Ranch of The Sycamores"
lies in beautiful Santa Monica canyon.
Upon it Don Leo plans to build a hacienda
amid the trees and flowers that are native
to the soil. There he romped as a boy while
his father served as Santa Monica's first
mayor; on a great sycamore tree can be
traced the initials he whittled there, many
years ago. From the site of his hacienda,
he can look out upon the thousands of rich
acres that once belonged to the ancestors
whose clay has mingled with the earth
upon which the gringo has built his apart-
ments and his estates. There also, Don Leo
has a great barbecue pit and as each of his
pictures is completed, the entire company,
from featured players to scene-shifters is
invited to make fiesta with him.

His Own Early History

DON LEO was born on Alleso Street
near the Los Angeles plaza. His
father and mother were married in the
"Little Church of the Angels," where so
many famous marriages of Los Angeles'
younger days were performed. Finishing
school, he worked as a laborer for the South-
ern Pacific to save the money necessary' for
the art education that was the goal of his
ambitions at that time. Later, going to
San Francisco, he secured a berth on the
Examiner as a roving cartoonist and re-
porter. His beat was the infamous "Bar-
bary Coast," where he rubbed elbows with
the outcasts of the Seven Seas and formed
the human contacts that are the basis of
his inimitable screen characterizations.
With him on the Examiner at that time,
worked Harrison Fisher (now a famous
magazine cover artist) "Bud" Fisher
(creator of Mutt and Jeff), "Tad" (the late
sports cartoonist), Merle Johnson (car-
toonist-father of Judith Wood, who was
born Helen Johnson), and Ashton Stevens,
famous drama critic. It was through
Stevens that he later became an intimate
of O. Henry.

Carrillo's clowning among his cronies
brought him an offer of an Orpheum en-
gagement, and young Leo embarked on a
stage career. By slow degrees he worked
his way into New York and eventually to a
leading place on Broadway. "Hell Bound,"
his first feature picture, was a sensation. In
this, he introduced a type of gangster new to

screen audiences. "True to life?" lit- I
eloquent eyebrow. "And why not? The char-
taken directly from .1 very dear

of mine, 'Big Jim' Colo*;:
Chicago."

In "Lasca of The Rio Grande," "Homi-

uad" and as the swaggering Toslado

rl of the Rio.'' he further enham

popularity. In "The Broken Wing,"

mpleted, he gives a performance that

will make him one of the screen's finest

character actors. A far cry from his first

1 ork vaudeville ■ it, when he

ly wrote home that he was so popular

that the manager made him give three

shows every day!

_." said Don Leo proudly, "has been
with me twenty years."

"Humph!" growled Ling, turning away,

"too d long too!"

A strange combination of Latin romanti-
cism and Yankee practicality, Don Leo
retains the courtly grace for which the true
is famous, but can drive a bargain
with the shrewdness of a gringo profiteer.
Near the borders of "El Ranchito de los
Allisos" he led me to a small, white-walled
plot marked by three simple headstones.

"Here lies the tragedy of my race," he

said simply. "On this plot, long before the

came, these people built their home

of adobe. Around them on these hills

grazed their thousands of cattle and the land

was theirs as far as the eye could reach.

You can yet see where the w-alls of their

stood. In this corner is the grave of

-t owner of those vast acres. It is in

exactly the spot where sat the bed upon

which he was born. He and the house he

built have both returned to the earth from

which they sprang while the gringo has

built a great city around them. There is the

romance and the tragedy of old California."

Save ELASTICITY

Those dowdy little wrinkles at the
ankle and he el. . .seams that ride around

. . . do you know why they happen?

When your stockings are new,
they fit smoothly and hug the leg
closely because the silk threads are
elastic. They give, then spring back
into shape.

But when elasticity is lost — then
the stockings wrinkle and bag where
they should fit most snugly! Ceams

are apt to ride around and if you
fasten garters more tightly to try to
keep them in place— then the lifeless
threads break. Another run starts!

Don't take chances that may ruin
stockings! Lux is especially made to
preserve the elasticity that makes
stockings keep their flattering^, and
makes even sheer ones wear.

Jimmy Dunn's Face
Reveals His Secret

(Continued from page 25)

way of thinking, the future doesn't take care
of the present, and tomorrow is something
else again. That is why he will take a long
chance for a big thing.

He is really a tolerant, understanding
young man beneath the surface. Aroused,
he is apt to be very quarrelsome. And when
thoroughly angry he has the strength of
three men. He also hasn't the best of self-
control on occasion. His lips bear witness
to that. But, if possible, he prefers to ignore
unpleasant things.

According to the shape of his eyes, he is
fond of "kidding." What a plague he must
have been to the little girls of his school
days! He is the type that gets a big "bang"
out of shocking people. Not malicious, he
thoroughly enjoys telling tall tales to watch
the results. It is because he craves change
and excitement.

He possesses a short nose, denoting in-
quisitiveness and excitability. And how he
loves children, dogs and cats and all pets!
He might push them around and bully them
slightly when you are looking, but without
an audience he has a great time. He is so
boyish himself, he's a bit ashamed of being
too "softy."

Hard to Fool Him Twice

HE has real native cleverness, not the
schooled variety. It comes, instead,
from experience in life. Beneath that charm-
ing Irish exterior there is a sober, practical
mind. Bitten once, he is never bitten again.
He doesn't forget hurts easily. Anything
that seriously affects his life is very vital to
him. That is more of the James Dunn be-
neath the surface.

Religion with him is not necessarily dem-
onstrative, but he has a real respect for
tradition and the deep-rooted conventions.
So natural are these feelings with him that
he probably doesn't know they exist. His
ears confirm this type of mind. He is not
the sort to go in for "odd ideas." He will
stick by the conventional code. He has
much originality, but it is all confined to
mannerisms, gestures, mode of speech and
whimsies. His inner nature is based on a
solid, clean foundation.

But don't think from this that he is prud-
ish. Rather, let us say that he tends more
to the risque. But there is nothing foreign
or perverted about his sense of humor. It's
straight from the shoulder. Rather than
naughty, he is what is known as "downright
mischievous."

Indeed, this rising young star enjoys his
prankish moods — and with those who don't
understand him he is apt to be misjudged.
Bubbling over with animal spirits he takes
keen delight in carrying out a joke on some-
one— though never in a mean, malicious way.
His humor can be labeled under the head
of "good, clean fun."

James Dunn has many possibilities. All
of his facial features indicate his care for a
good performance and a love for his public.
He also knows the value of hard work. Just
like anybody else, he might prefer to let
things slide by — he really would, you know
— but he has been schooled by experience
and he is far too shrewd in his gamin-like
way to let his chances go by. He knows that
only merit lasts. Therefore he would gladly
give a dollar's worth of performance for every
fifty cents paid, because it's his best invest-
ment.

But he hasn't begun to make the most of
himself. Frankly speaking, he has had
enough quiet communion with his inner
thoughts to realize his possibilities. He is
a young man in the making — mischievous,
fun-loving, serious — is Mrs. Dunn's bad
boy, Jimmy.

James Dunn — Profile View

Profile. Mixed type. Thinks a good
deal faster than he speaks. His
thoughts generally are far past his
speech, therefore he never fully ex-
plains what he is really thinking.

Forehead. Strongly perceptive.
Learns by watching. Never forgets
the smallest injury, but doesn't let you
know visibly.

Brows. Resolute.

Nose. Good reasoning ability. Very
careful about things when they affect
his life. Thoughtful when alone.

Back of Head. Hasn't much faith in
promises. Doesn t expect people to
live up to their highest principles.
Considers them pretty back-sliding
when it comes to helping. Wants
results quickly — here and now. To-
morrow will take care of itself.

Front -ear to nose. Has an intense
interest in almost everything and
anything. Learns that way. Has very
good judgment because he is capable
of such good observation.

Jaw. Aggressive. Impulsive. Lov-
ing. Not very animal. Perverse in
temperament. Likes change and ac-
tion.

Entire lower profile. Is strongly re-
ligious by nature but not necessarily a
demonstrative churchgoer. Hates to
admit his real feelings, anyhow, and
would rather tell you an entirely
different story from what he knows to
be the truth. Has an intense love of
life and people.

Nobody! Why

USE

KLEENEX

disposable tissues
INSTEAD!

New handkerchief tissue actu-
ally costs less than laundering

CAN you imagine any more unpleasant
task than washing dirty handkerchiefs?
No— and there isn't any.

Why do it? Lots of other women freed
themselves from this disagreeable job, the
instant they heard ot Kleenex.

Kleenex is a soft, gentle tissue the size of
a handkerchief. Its cost is very little. In fact,
you can use a number of individual Kleenex
tissues for less than it costs to have one hand-
kerchief laundered commercially! Thus,
Kleenex is actually an economy.

Much more healthful

If a soiled handkerchief is unpleasant to
wash, think how dangerous it is to use!
Soiled, germ-laden . . . any doctor would tell
you to keep it from your face.

Nor should a dirtyhandkerchiefbestowed
away in clothing or laundrybags.lt is fit only
to be destroyed... and that is just what hap-
pens, when you use Kleenex. You use a tis-
sue once, then destroy. Germs are destroyed.
Each time.you selecta fresh, clean,sal'e tissue.

For removing face creams

Use Kleenex for removing face creams, as
authorities advise. Its great absorbency
assures thorough cleansing of the pores.

Mothers find Kleenex useful in the nursery.
Motorists like to keep a package in the car.

Kleenex comes in many lovely tints as well
as white, in Cellophane-wrapped packages to
keep tissues absolutely fresh and clean. The
package permits easy removal of tissues with
one hand. At all drug, dry goods and depart-
ment stores.

The Life Story of a

Dangerous Man

(Continued from page 52)

York, where all good actors go when they
die (if not always when they live), looked
the town over, entered a dramatic academy
and began to be a Hamlet. But before he
could put on greasepaint professional^',
America entered the War.

Then Romance Came Along

HE enlisted, with the thought that to
get Over There he would at last travel
on the sea. But just before sailing he met a
girl who, he knew, was The Girl. He had
been "in love" once or twice before, for a
day or so1 — just often enough to recognize
the symptoms and to know that, this time,
the fever was chronic. He said simply,
"When I come back — "They both knew
that it was "// I come back — "and parted.

Warren and his conipany (an engineering
outfit, by the way) were moving through
France in the direction of the Front when,
one morning, they were startled by cries of
"L'Armistice!" Warren was young enough
then to be disappointed. He wanted to
see some action. Now, he says, he under-
stands why his grandfather left Germany
because of the compulsory military training.

When he came back, She was waiting for
him. There had been no "Mademoiselle
from Armentieres" for him. They were
married. That was nine years ago. The
Dangerous Man is still married to the same
wife and still in love with her. He likes to
talk about her. He says she should have
been an actress, that she should be a screen
actress, that she has what it takes. They
have no children and do not seem to feel a
vacancy in their lives.

After they were married, they lived about
in apartments in New York. They bought
some furniture, but never a home. Warren
began to be an actor by touring in a road
company of "I Love You." He played the
part originally done by Richard Dix.
Shortly thereafter came the chance to play
in Rachel Crothers' "Expressing Willie"
and Warren found that he had succeeded
in expressing himself to the hearty applause
of Broadway and the critics.

His First "Discoverer"

IT was Alexander Woollcott who first
made the Barrymore comparison. War-
ren was then playing in "The Blue Peter"
and Woollcott wrote, "He has a Barrymore
accent in his speech and a Barrymore tone
to his voice and he looks the very image of
the young John Drew who played Petruchio."

Warren's Dad read the criticism and was
massively impressed. He wired his only son
that he had better give up all thoughts of
engineering and newspaper publishing and
stay in the theatre along with the Drews
and the Barrymores. Warren had no in-
tention of leaving the theatre, whether he
stayed along with the Barrymores or be-
came a fifth Marx Brother.

He stayed and he went on to such suc-
cesses as "Twelve Miles Out," "Let Us Be
Gay" and was the hero of George Abbott's
"Those We Love." He didn't — alas for hot
copy — become involved in any scandals.
He acquired only one "mistress" and she
was a schooner. He still keeps her and one
of these days he's going to go places — on all
seven Seas.

He began to make some talkie tests, just
to see what might happen. He had been
the hero in one of Pearl White's serials in
silents. He took test after test, for company
after company, beginning with the biggest
and most important and gradually descend-
ing the scale. He could have made his
living making tests, he told me. Nothing
ever happened. No one reacted. He finally

made one last th Violet Hem

doesn't care where he lives. Any spot on

can't understand people who wrangle heat-
iout the respective merits of life in
Hollywood and New York. What does it
matter where you live?

He likes to play tennis, and docs. He

doesn't read very much. He and his wife

go to a lew movies in the evenings. He

lly admires Douglas Fairbanks, Jr.,

laurice Chevalier, Edward

ibinson and — yes — John Barn-more.

He likes to see Loretta Young, Barbara

Stanwyck and Miriam Hopkins. He is

appalled at the way some screen stars look

off the screen, compared to the way they

look on. He was naive and believed that

they were all as good-looking as they filmed.

It annoys him when people tuck an "s" on

his name.

Not Saying He Won't Change

HE is pretty well content with life and
doesn't ask too much of it. But if he
were God for a day, he'd change a few
things — the hours for movie actors, prin-
cipally. He would also, of course, abolish
the prohibition laws. He is slightly social-
istic. It nauseates him when he sees one
family driven to the edge of suicide to pay
their rent, and another family living on
yachts and in mansions and limousines.

J I i~ grandfather was a Spiritualist. An
uncle once got a message from Grandfather.
Warren believes that there may be such
things . . .

lie doesn't know how great fame, if it
should come to him, would affect him.
He doesn't collect press clippings about
himself. He doesn't think that he has
changed since he came to Hollywood, but
that doesn't mean that he wouldn't, lie
thinks the sort of thing that has happened
to < lark Gable must be a dreadful thing to
stand up under with your head steady and
your feet on the ground.

He laughs about being railed "danger-
ous. I [e says that all men are dangerous —
at times. And tame tome ats al other times.
It all depends upon how they are fed. And
he doesn't mean with food alone.

He is six feet tall. He has brilliant,
piercing blue eyes — the eyes of a man of the
sea, you might say. His hair is thinning a
bit. He has a sophisticated, thin-lipped
mouth, lie looks perpetually amused and a
little bit tired of it all.

Some day, when he has that money, he
will take his mistress, the schooner, and sail
the Seven Seas he /.ill -ail troni port to
port, from one horizon to another. This is
the chief urge of that Dangerous .Man,
Warren William.

Marlene Dietrich will have

gance, shown by the letter "a" in her first
name (which is open at the top) and the
wide spaces between her words. If you want
to get something from her, let her feel sorry
for you first, and she will be apt to work
with all her might to help you with your
problems.

But be careful not to give her a "sob-
story" without any truth in it, or else have
a shell-proof dugout near at hand when the
fireworks start. She may be fooled once, but
never twice, and it is a dangerous proposi-
tion to try to impose on her kindness. For
she is no milk-and-water miss, who will say
nothing and turn the other cheek. Look at
the long ending strokes of her words and
the downward ending stroke of the capital
"M" in "Marlene," and then think twice
before incurring her wrath.

The unevenness of her letters and the
heavy pressure with which she writes show
that she can be temperamental, as well as
kind. Her nature is not of the regulation
type. It is a fortunate thing for her that
she is able to let out some of these over-
emotional feelings — rather than to keep
them bottled up until an inevitable explo-
sion might wreck her life. In my work, I
find too many inhibitions and repressions
caused by self-consciousness and fear of what
people may think. I do not find this in
Marlene Dietrich's character, although there
is some reserve at times, which makes her
inscrutable and hard to understand. This
will give her charm — especially for the male
sex.

Why She Wants Success

NOTICE the plain capitals that she uses
— so free from over-ornamentation and
vulgarity. This is a proof that she comes
naturally by the poise and self-possession
that we see in her work in the movies, in
which she has had such success. This shows
her ability to think clearly and plan ahead
so that she can keep her balance even when
she has work to do. She has many of the
constructive, as well as the artistic qualities,
in her nature and can put aside her emo-
tions and temperamental qualities when sin-
cerely interested in anything. There is a
driving force that makes her almost ruthless
in her willingness to give up practically any-
thing in order to satisfy her ambitions.

Yet this love of success does not spring
purely from a fondness for material rewards,
such as money and fame — although there is
a material side to her complex nature. It
does not even arise from a desire to get her
own way, in spite of the fact that she is
stubborn and dislikes interference with her
plans. It comes more from an urge for
achievement that will satisfy her own sense
of what is right.

In choosing the director of her pictures,
her studio should always select someone she
can respect and admire for his cleverness and
power. LInder such direction she should be
easily managed and do excellent work. For,
with her instinctive feeling for what is right
and fine, whether she has had any special
cultural training or not, she will dislike and
despise mediocrity and pretension and will
probably sulk and do poor work under a
person of inferior mentality.

While she can work hard when necessary,
she will also want comfort and luxury and
enjoy being lazy, "even as you and I." Just
as a beautiful tigress can stretch out in the
sun and relax and purr like a good-natured
house cat, Marlene will enjoy being waited
on and petted and made much of. This
quality, while it may be irritating to those
who want her to do something, is in reality

a very go<.wl thing for her. both ph)
and mentally. I

Before putting this character study

Marlene Dietrich's handwriting and see if

I have told you of her character. Just a
mixture of a very human wife and mother —
like yourself or Mrs. Jones, your next-door
neighbor — but with something that drives
to accomplishment in spite of ob-
tppointments.
While she has faults and is tempera-
mental, she has endurance and determina-
tion and can be urged on to even greater
effort by encouragement. She may not al-
be wise in her judgment — perhaps be-
of her impatiem ■ ike of petti-

ness of any kind — but she is sincere, and
capable of great things when she finds the
right outlet for her energies. With the right
pictures, she will go on to ever greater
triumphs in her profession.

Shampooing

this way . . . gives your hair

New Beauty

Results are amazing! Your hair looks utterly different from hair
ivashed with ordinary soap. Costs only a few cents to use.

FlORTUNATELY, beautiful hair isno
longer a matter of luck.
Its life, its lustre ... its alluring
loveliness . . . depend, almost entirely, up-
on the way you shampoo it.

A filmy coating of dust and dirt is con-
stantly forming on the hair. If allowed to
remain, it hides the life and lustre and the
hair then becomes dull and unattractive.

Onlv thorough shampooing will . . . re-
move this DINGY COATING and 1 i the
kle and rich, natural COLOR TONES
of the hair show.

While your hair must have frequent
and regular washing to keep this coat-
ing removed, the careless practice of rub-
bing a cake of soap over your hair . . .
(something hairdressers NEVER DO) . . .
invariably leaves small particles of undis-
solved soap on the hair, which dulls and
mars its beauty.

Besides — the hair cannot
stand the harsh effect of free
alkali, common in ordinary
soaps. The free alkali soon
dries the scalp, makes the hair
brittle and ruins it.

That is why thousands of
women, everywhere, who
\ alue beautiful hair . . . use
Mulsified Cocoanut Oil
Shampoo.

This clear, pure and entirely

greascless product no
cleanses the hair thoroughly,

but is so mild and so pure that it cannot
possibly injure. It does not dry the scalp,
or make the hair brittle, no matter how
often you use it.

Two or three tcaspoonfuls of Mulsified
are sufficient for a quick and truly pro-
fessional shampoo at home — and it ( OS! S
ONLY A FEW CENTS TO USE. It
makes an abundance of . . . soft, rich,
creamy lather . . . with cither hard or sofl
water, which cleanses thoroughly and
rinses out easily, removing with it every
particle of dust, dirt and dandruff.

You will be amazed at the differem

. . . and so easy to set and manage.

"Another Dietrich"? That's the title
they've hung on newcomer Sari Maritza.
But did you ever see Marlene in a bath-
ing suit and playful.'

MULSIFIED

COCOANUT OIL
SHAMPOO

Dietrich Speaks Out for Herself

Lady of Many Moods, was in a brand-new
mood. If such a Yankee word may be ap-
plied to such an aloof foreign charmer, she
was peppy.

In short, she looked as if she had risen
early, put her blonde head out of her
Beverly Hills window, inhaled deeply of the
Spring morning, sung a guttural ditty or
two in her bath, and arrayed herself in her
gayest Spring raiment before coming to the
studio to keep her appointment.

"You look like Spring flowers, or some-
thing," I remarked, because she really did.

"I feel goot," smiled Marlene, as she held
open the screen door of her dressing-room.

Like other interviewers, I have been
warned that certain subjects are tabu with
Dietrich — such subjects as Hollywood's
gossip about her, and the "influence" of
Director Josef von Sternberg on her career.
At first, I remembered the warning. We
skipped over the neutral subjects of current
pictures — Marlene's and other stars'; of the
great news value connected with the release
of "Shanghai Express"; of the unusually
enthusiastic reception accorded "Dishon-
ored" by London audiences. Marlene, it
developed, had seen a number of movies
lately. She thought the new releases were
surprisingly "goot," taken as a whole. From
there we drifted to the influences that go to
make up a "goot" picture — the director, the
story, the acting, the camera work, the cut-
ting, and so on.

Marlene Laughs at This Rumor

ND then, suddenly, I found myself ask-
ing a bombshell question — a question

{Continued from page zp)

that surprised me — a question that could
have been dared only because of Marlene's
consistent good humor. "What do you
think of all this Hollywood talk of Mr. von
Sternberg's influence in your own pictures —
the talk that he feels and speaks and thinks
for you, as the Hollywood gossips are so
determined to make out?"

For a moment, you could have heard a
pin drop — at least, I could! But when I
dared to look at her again, her smile had
not faded — it had widened into a very
humorous sort of old-fashioned grin! She
nodded her head a couple of times, as if
such talk were familiar to her.

"Thot's funny, very funny," she said.
"Just last evening Mr. von Sternberg and
I were reading a magazine with an article
that told of how I was a Trilby to my direc-
tor's Svengali."

Marlene gave a short laugh — probably in
demonstration of how she and her director
had laughed over the article.

"I am sure the writer would have been
disappointed to see how we laughed," she
continued. " I think that maybe he thought
such a story would make Mr. von Sternberg
very angry. But that is because most
people do not understand Mr. von Stern-
berg. They believe he has no sense of
humor. If they could only have seen him
laugh at that story! He said: ' It is too bad
it is not true. Think of all the fun I could
have, hypnotizing you!'

"As for me — I am truly sorry I do not
know such a person as my director is sup-
posed to be. Think how interesting it would
be to know a man who could so completely

control another person's destiny! How nice
it would be to have such a man as a friend.
One would never weary for entertainment.

Her Opinion of Von Sternberg

IS it not silly that writers say Mr. von
Sternberg has such a weird, uncanny
effect on me? It is very true that he is a
tremendous influence in the direction of his
pictures — but surely the critics and writers
must have noticed this same influence in
the performance of other players. It is not
only Dietrich who responds to his direction
so completely — every actor who has worked
with him will tell you that he goes through
a new directorial experience when he works
in a von Sternberg production.

"Notice the difference in other players
besides myself when they are working in
one of his pictures as compared to their
work with other directors. Yet they (the
writers) do not say Mr. von Sternberg hyp-
notizes them. I believe he brings every
actor he directs to his heights!" (Several
months ago Marlene had told me that if von
Sternberg ever made a picture with Joan
Crawford, the public would be surprised at
the power and sweep of her personality.)

"But," she added with a little shrug,
dismissing the entire subject, "I do not pay
much attention to such stories any more.
At first — yes. They used to upset me. But
now I do not even bother to deny most of
them. Only one really upset me "

She had risen now and was moving about
her dressing-room. She found a cigarette
tray for me and placed it at my elbow.
She did it almost subconsciously — a hint

There's more Chicle in it

that's what makes it better

It's the amount and the quality of the CHICLE used that
makes such a big difference in chewing gums — Beech-Nut
Gum contains a larger proportion of the world's finest
chicle than any other gum on the market. That explains
its greater chewing quality and smoothness. That's why
Beech-Nut Gum stays fresh and smooth-flavored far longer
than any ordinary gum — that's what makes all the differ-
ence between a good gum and the finest gum you can buy.

Marlene Dietrich. We walked on a little-

are still a great deal more conservative
over there. Children do not learn the things
of the grown-up world so quickly. Here — I
am a little frightened.

"The other day Maria had a birthday.
I had invited several of her little neighbor-
hood playmates, nice children ol nice fami-
lies, to share her birthday cake. There were
some candles on the cake and the children
suggested that Maria try to blow them out.
In Germany we do not know this but she
seemed eager to try. She blew them all out
but two — and one little child, even younger
than Maria, spoke up and said: ' Th.it
means you will hie married and db
twice!' My poor baby — she looked at me,
not knowing what the other child meant.

What Hurts Marlene Most
ATER on, the children suggested to

Maria that they play Marriage and
Divorce. You do not know how this
frightened me — like something sticking in
my heart. I forbade them to play such a
game — and Maria was cross with me. She
wanted to play what the American children
play. That is why I say I am anxious to
take her back to Germany for her schooling.
I very much want to keep her a little girl

about her house, waiting to pounce upon
her for autographs when she enters or leaves
her residence.

THE day Bebe Daniels sang over the
radio from New York, her most inter-
ested and enthusiastic listener was none
other than Barbara Bebe Lyon, just turned
six months old.

Hilda, Bebe's devoted maid and little
Barbara's nurse, held the baby close to the
radio and when her mother's voice came
through, the little tot almost flew out of
her arms with excitement. "She kept look-
ing around," relates Hilda proudly. "She
couldn't understand how she could hear
that familiar voice and not be able to see
her mother."

HELEN Twelvetrees has never quite got
over being a movie fan at heart. The
other day we bumped into Helen in the
publicity department of her studio, looking
over some new stills. No, they were not
her own. The little Twelvetrees was ardently
admiring the new poses of Constance
Bennett.

/^■OLLEEN Moore and Al Scott finally
' — / stepped off after an engagement lasting
a couple of years. They were married at
Fort Pierce, Florida, and a couple of days
after the ceremony Colleen and her new
husband took the train for California where
Colleen opened in her new stage show. San
Francisco is the town and, of course, Colleen
will show up in Los Angeles so all her movie
friends can see her.

This is Colleen's second marriage. Ditto
for .Mr. Scott.

FEBRUARY 15th must have been a
great day for marriages — especially for
former film favorites. Tom Mix was married
in Mexico to Mabel Hubbell Ward, aerialist
of the Sells-Floto Circus, on the same day
Colleen became Mrs. Al Scott.

IT would be a poor month, indeed, that
didn't have at least one or two good
artistic temperament complaints.

Anna May Wong kept up China's war
record by walking out of the cast of RKO's
"Roar of the Dragon." By some compli-
cation in the billing Gwili Andre's name
slipped in above Anna's in the cast of the
picture, when a previous agreement with
Miss Wong had stipulated she was to re-
ceive first billing.

Over at Paramount, Charlie Bickford is
showing signs of his previous M-G-M tem-
perament by setting off a few red-headed
sparks about his role opposite Tallulah
Bankhead in "Thunder Below." Charlie
just doesn't like the part.

FRANK Borzage, Fox director, is nursing
one pet ambition at the present moment.
He wants to re-make "Humoresque" for
the talking camera. As a silent picture,
"Humoresque" was one of the classics of
its day. Now, with the added advantage of
sound, the Fannie Hurst novel would be
delightful.

A child actor named Sidney Miller, who
recently completed "Symphony of Six Mil-
lion," starring Ricardo Cortez, at RKO, is
being seriously considered for the role of the
child violinist. The twelve-year-old young-
ster is a natural musician and a natural
actor.

and famous stars sometimes grow
from pretty humble beginnings. Not many
players can boast a more amazing beginning
in the picture realm than George O'Brien.
George doubled for a shark in the C. B.
de Mille opus, "The < '.olden Bed.'7

Roil I. a Ivj. <|ue, the leading man of the
picture, was supposed to be attacked by a
shark. A real shark was used for distant
shots, but when it came to the actual com-
d rebelled, lie didn't like sharks. C.
B. listened with a willing car. After all, the
picture wasn t coi ipleted, and Rod without
an arm or a leg wouldn't be much use.

Mr. O'Brien was called into the scene. A
tin back, as shark-like as possible, was
strained on him, anil he swam face down-
ward in water. Mr. I. a Rocque made all the
necessary faces. Fans "o-ohed" and "a-
ahed" when they saw it. Everyone was sat-
isfied except the real shark which, was sort
of hungry.

George got S25 for the day's work. So

tracting business, and many of the buildings
that line Hollywood and Wilshire boule-
vards are of his construction.

His First Movie Work

AS a child, Russ played in many D. W.
l\ Griffith, Mack Sennett, and Mary
Pickford pictures, but always as one of the
mob, and the five- and ten-dollar bills
garnered in this fashion were stored away
in a bank account that was to go to his
musical training as he grew older.

When he was fourteen years old, he began
his study of the violin. With fingers that
had been made deft by the guitar, he
advanced rapidly. One day his old teacher,
Laveri, wrote to his parents and told them
the ways of life had been difficult in the
East and that if they would pay for his
transportation to California, he would repay
them by giving lessons to "your most
talented Ruggerio."

The idea was an acceptable one and with-
in a few weeks Laveri was back with his old
pupil. Three years later, Russ had reached
such a degree of mastery on the violin that
he gave a series of concerts both in Los
Angeles and in San Francisco. Music critics
hailed him as another prodigy, but as is
usually the case with prodigies, fate stepped
in and drove him on another course.

The family fortune at this time was not
where it should have been, and Russ was
compelled to accept a job with an orchestra
playing for private dances around Holly-
wood. A while later, he joined an orchestra
that played at the Hotel Mayfair and,
because of his deep baritone voice, was
selected by the leader to sing the vocal
choruses.

Picture executives and directors were fre-
quent visitors, and soon thereafter Russ
picked up a lot of extra money by playing
the violin on the movie sets. Pola Negri
dropped into the Mayfair ballroom one
night when the young violinist was playing
and asked that he report on her lot the
following day. For two years he remained
with Miss Negri and played his violin for
the atmospheric effect it had on her emoting.

He Broke the News to Pola
NE day in August, 1926, the news was
brought on the Negri set that Rudolph
Valentino had died in New York. The
young violinist was in the middle of
Dvorak's "Humoresque" while a heavy
love scene was in the process of being
filmed. The messenger whispered the news
to him first, and the shock at learning that
the man who had been his greatest screen
hero was dead caused him to stop with a
suddenness that spoiled the entire scene.

"What is the matter with you?" screamed
La Negri. "Why must you stop playing
right in the middle of a scene?"

"Rudolph Valentino is dead," he replied.

The star fainted away, and Russ vouches
for the fact that it was no act. For hours
and days after she was inconsolable.

The Cocoanut Grove in the Ambassador
Hotel in Hollywood, where filmdom's elite
gather on the slightest provocation, offered
Russ a job with its orchestra and he
remained there for a year. One day while
he was singing a love ballad, he was inter-
rupted by Ben Schulberg, executive of the
Paramount studios, and offered the second
lead in "Wolf Song" with Gary Cooper and
Lupe Yelez. Naturally, he accepted, and
was billed under the name of Russell
Columbo.

He reported on the set four days later and

Because of his vocal powers, executives

pictures, but on i on he was turned

down because the test showed him

Buddy Rogers was coming into his own

afraid to take a chano on Russ. Bui

played in various Los Angeles theatres ami
hotels and finally went back to the Ambas-
sador Hotel as a featured member of the
Rhythm Boys. Two months later, a quarrel
with the management broke up the organi-
zation, and Russ decided to put his savings
into his own business. So with the aid of a
few friends he opened the Pyramid Club
and, although it never prospered to any
great extent, it held its own and enabled
Russ to strike up friendships with many
movie stars. Among these were Tom Mix,
Gloria Swanson, Ramon Novarro, Joan
Bennett, Eric Von Stroheim, Jack Oakie and
Joan Crawford.

What Conrad Predicted for Him

AND now the number twelve again. On
the night the club was celebrating its
first twelve months oi existence, a party
comprised of George Olsen, Joan Crawford,
June Collyer and Con Conrad came in and
was ushered to a ringside table.

In Russ's words: "I was thrilled to meet
Con Conrad, the man whose songs were
familiar to me and my orchestra. And we
played many ol his famous numbers, such
as 'Margie,' 'Barney Google,' '.Memory
Lane,' 'Let's Do the Breakaway,' and 'Ma,
He's Making Eyes at Me.'

"The party remained until early in the
morning and bel ore l hey departed, Con lold
me he believed 1 would make a great success
in the East with radio work, and said he was
willing to take me along with him if I could

go-"

Two days later Con Conrad and Russ
Columbo were on The Chief bound foi New
York. Conrad, in the meantime, had tried
to convince George Olsen that Columbo
would be a great bet for his band, which

< il-in was planning to take to New York for
the winter. I'.ut Olsen couldn't see Russ!
"They're tired of crooners look at V'allee,"
was < llsen's crypt ii way ol turning down the
singer.

"Well, I'll take tins kid to New York and,

mark my word, inside of six i it hs he'll be

HOW MILLIONS

LOSE FAT

• You know, as all know, that in late years
excess fat has been disappearing fast. Look
about you. Note how slender figures, youth
and vigor have displaced abnormal fat.

The reason lies largely in a discovery
made by modern science. A great cause of
excess fat has been found in a weakened
gland. Food which should create fuel and
energy goes to piled-up fat.

Now doctors, the world over, feed that
lacking factor. Normal conditions return.
Fat melts away and vim comes back. And
without starvation.

Marmola prescription tablets embody
this modern method. People have used them

for 24 years — millions of boxes of them. The
changed conditions of today are largely due
to Marmola.

Quit wrong methods of reduction, hard or
futile. Do what modern doctors do, and
what countless people have done with
Marmola. Take these tablets — four a day —
until weight comes down to normal and vim
returns to par.

All druggists supply Marmola — Si a box.
A book in each box gives the formula and
explains the amazing results. Get slender
now, more youthful, more active. Don't
wait longer. Marmola is at your call.

to his valet (which he never had) nor to the
Hollywood crowd. So they pooh-poohed
the composer's words.

Even Ziegfeld Missed a Chance

ON the train Eastward, Con and Russ
composed "You Call It Madness, But
I Call It Love," which has since become the
crooning baritone's theme song on the air.
The pair stepped off the train at the Grand
Central Station, hopped into a taxi and
dashed to the office of Flo Ziegfeld.

In addition to "You Call It Madness — ,"
Conrad had two other songs that he hoped
to place in the new "Follies," which Ziegfeld
was then casting. Russ sang all the three
and they included "Who Am I?" and
"Prisoner of Love," but Ziegfeld shook his
head sadly. "They're not hit tunes," he
gave as his verdict.

But the saddest blow- of all was that he
hadn't even noticed Russ's singing. To the
great maestro of the "Follies," Russ was
just another song-plugger.

Earl Carroll's office was the next stop and
the languid Earl, producer of the "Vanities,"
emptied his partially completed theatre of
its workmen and listened interestedly to
both the songs and the singer.

"To tell you the truth," he said, turning
to Conrad after Russ had ended his audi-
tion, "there are bigger things in store for
this lad than I can offer him at present.
However, if you want to accept a humble
offer of three hundred and fifty dollars per
week, he may start rehearsing at once."

Conrad thanked the "Vanities" producer,
bundled both his songs and his handsome
protege under his arms, and departed for the
radio chains. And within twelve hours,
super-salesman Conrad had convinced the
N&C officials that Russ Columbo was what
radio had been waiting for all these years
and to prove it was willing to stake all on
the fan mail.

A Twelve- Day Wonder

IF you put Columbo on a coast-to-coast
hook-up, within one month the mail
will reach twelve hundred letters a day," he
insisted.

"And if he pulls twelve hundred letters a
day, you can rest assured," the officials
replied skeptically, "that his income will be
pretty near a dollar for every fan letter."

The only open hour was at II P.M. — an
hour conceded to be a difficult one from
which to draw substantial mail. But Russ
took it. On the twelfth day, the National
Broadcasting offices reported that Colum-
bo's daily mail had reached 1278 letters.

To-day Russ's routine is a fast and furious
one. Up at nine for a ride on his roan
through Central Park. Back to his pent-
house apartment overlooking Manhattan.
A shower and a rub-down and then a swift
drive through traffic to the theatre where he
is appearing. There are four to five shows
every day that last until ten-thirty in the
evening and these are interspersed with
rehearsals for the following week, rehearsals
of his commercial broadcasts and the broad-
casts themselves, the mad dashes between
shows across the East River to make record-
ings of his songs on the discs, and the
numerous motion picture shorts and per-
sonal appearances.

At eleven each night he leaves the theatre
and speeds frantically in his limousine to the
Waldorf-Astoria on Park Avenue to conduct
his orchestra while the Mayfair of Gotham
dances after the theatre. At two-thirty in
the morning he is in bed again.

That's the furious day of America's latest
Romeo of Song. On January 14, he cele-
brated his twenty-fourth birthday. Twenty-
four. Twice twelve. And twelve hundred
dollars a day.

CHOOSE your ROUGE SHADES

this new fascinating way

forget all about
matching your
skin and select
shades to match
your Costume

Catch the spirit, the joyous freedom, of this
beautiful new fashion . . . rouge to harmo- I
nize with your every costume. The charm
of it . . . the individuality . . . and the dif-
ference that must exist when all rouge
shades match your skin — match automati-
cally, without your giving a thought to it.
Well you know that usual rouge does not
have this characteristic. Instead you have
memories of dire disappointment, times I
when you felt "horrid" because off color '
make-up spoiled the glory of your gown.

Now what has happened? . . . how can you

vary the old idea . . . and select rouge shades

to match costume, not troubling to match

your skin? Just this: Princess Pat rouge does

not blot out the stan. The natural color is I

caused by the blood showing through the skin

— because the skin is transparent and has

scarcely any color of its own. Princess Pat

rouge is sympathetic to skin tones. Thus

whatever color your skin shows — and every- I

one has some color — is retained when you use

Princess Pat rouge. To this natural color, Princess Pat adds.

Thus the beautiful tints imparted by Princess Pat rouge seem to

come from within the skin.

WHY Different Colors of Costume Demand Different Shades of Rouge

You have learned how all shades of Princess Pat match every skin,
why the effect is invariably natural and beautiful. But there is
another requirement. Every costume you wear has a certain color
value. You recognize this when you match dress, hose, shoes, hats
so that the ensemble is harmonious. It is even mere vitally im-
portant to recognize it when you select rouge shades.

The great mistake with rouge has been this: you had just one
shade — say medium. To secure more, or less, color you used more,
or less, rouge. But the shade remained the same. You couldn't use
other shades for only one would match your skin. So your rouge
that might have looked well with delicate pastel dresses, was less
than ineffectual with brilliant red costumes — and so on through
the range of color combinations of costume and complexion.

Process Pat Lip Rouge a ?iew sensation —
nothing less. For it dots what no other lip rouge
has ever done. Princess Pal Lip Rouge, colors that
inside moist surface of tips as well as outside. Is
truly indelible. You'll love it!

PRINCESS PAT

LONDON CHICAGO

Marvelous New Beauty If You Follow These Hints For Choosing Rouge

For gowns of all red shades, select Princess Pat Vivid, cr Princess
Pat Squaw. Even the palest blonde — one who has thought she
simply could not wear bright red — is beautiful in flaming colors
through use of Vivid or Squaw to set the right color note in the
cheeks. For gowns of purple, violet, blue, use Squaw, Theatre or
Medium. When you wear yellow, orange, green, your cheeks are
wonderful with Princess Pat English Tint. With soft pastel cos-
tumes, achie\e the complexion note of cool, delicious serenity
with Princes? Pat Medium or Theatre. For tan effect, use Princess
Pat Summerian. For evening wear, use Princess Pat Nite. This
indeed is a marvelous shade, since it responds as gloriously to
artificial lignt as the most perfect daytime rouge does to sunlight.

TRUE! Men, like bees, are drawn to
the flower that is delectablv fra-
grant! But of what use perfume, if on
closer scrutiny, these critical men
find that all your attractiveness flies
away when you smile?

Don't forget that to he alluring, a
smile must reveal only brilliant, white
teeth ! And sound, white teeth are de-
pendent on sound, firm gums!

The foods of these modern days are
far too soft and creamy to stimulate
the gums— to keep them hard. Now

they're soft and flabby. Tender, too.
You have "pink tooth brush"— or
you're likely to have it.

And if you're wise, you'll do some-
thing about this unhealthy condition
of the gums. For "pink tooth brush"
not only can dull the teeth, make
them grayish-looking— but it may
endanger the i i of the teeth.

And all too often it leads to gum
troubles as serious as gingivitis and
Vincent's disease— even the rare but
dreaded pyorrhea.

If you'll get some Ipana Tooth Pasic,
and rub a bit of it into your gums

everv time you clean your teeth, you
won't have to worry about "pink
tooth brush." The massage stimu-
lates the gums, of course. But the
ziratol in Ipana (ziratol is a splendid
toning agent) aids the massage in
firming the gums.

Ipana is first ol all a splendid mod-
ern tooth paste, and keeps teeth beau-
tifully white and clean. Ipana with
massage keeps the gumi hard and
healthy. Ipana with massage /•
your smile! So today— start in with
Ipana, and you cut forget about "pink
tooth brush."

"blondes who have dull, faded-looking hair do
not appeal to men nearly as much as when
the hair is radiant, golden and young-looking.

streaky lifeless hair the lustrous golden sheen
men adore and other women envy. BLONDEX
contains no dye, no harmful chemicals. Is re-
markably beneficial to both hair and scalp. Try

Between Ourselves

THE producers haven't had much
luck in their endless hunt for
"another Garbo." None at all, if you
want to ask me. Dietrich isn't it.
She's as original as Garbo, herself —
and if Marlene had climbed to fame
first, Greta might very likely have
been called "another Dietrich." That
is, at first. Even Garbo's enemies
(both of them) can't bring forward
any girl who is likely to cause Greta
any loss of sleep during her sun-baths.

BUT meanwhile the search for
I "another Gable" goes on apace.
And with a little better fortune. For
one thing, M-G-M may have made a
tactical error in having Clark support
one big feminine star after another,
instead of pushing him up stardom
on his own — in a hurry. The studio's
tardiness gave their competitors a
breathing spell — time to scout around
and unearth rough-hewn, dimpled
he-men of their own. Every studio
has found one; some have discovered
two. Maybe none of them will pull
like Gable with the public. But at
least they have the chance to try.
Look over the story on the "new
Gables" a few pages farther on — and
get a hint of the number of his rivals.
Or should I say "would-be rivals"?

IT'S a funny thing. I mean — that
Garbo's appeal lies in the fact that
she is like a woman no one ever
knew; beautiful, silent, inscrutable,
exotic, mysterious, all at one and the
same time. While Gable's appeal lies
in just the other direction. Everyone
feels that lie has known Clark some
time or other. Or known his twin
brother — a big, good-natured, half-
handsome, half-homely, straightfor-
ward chap, with a handshake that
makes you rise on your toes.

HAROLD LLOYD, it seems, got
wind of the fact that a couple
of the studios were planning pictures
kidding Hollywood. That gave
Harold an idea. He'd offset the digs.
So he's making "Movie Crazy,"
which will be a comedy laid in
Hollywood, but won't be laid against
it. According to Harold's version,
it is a place of glamour and romance,
which has given the world the best
cure yet for the galloping insanity of
boredom. Can you imagine what the
world would be like without movies?
It would be like Harold Lloyd in a
comedy without his horn-rimmed
specs — not half so entertaining with-
out as with!

HOLLYWOOD should get ready
to slaughter the fatted calf.
(But humanely, I beg — as will you,
after reading what George Arliss says
a few pages hence.) The prodigal is
coming home. I'm referring to Leslie
Howard, who hasn't yet got any
farther than New York on his way
back to that rural cottage in England
where he was going to retire from the
noisy, noisy world. If all goes well,
he will do his New York play, "The
Animal Kingdom," on the screen this
summer. And that, I warn you, will
be a treat.

AND, as if to fill our cup to over-
l\ flowing, along comes the addi-
tional news that Helen Hayes also
has agreed to come back, and be for-
given, this summer. This, despite the
fact that she and husband Charles
MacArthur have just bought a quaint
old Colonial farm in New Jersey —
one of those places that are hard to
leave. But once the Great God Public
speaks its will, few care to ignore it.
It demands Helen. So what can a
poor girl do? And may they make
her a star — if they have time, before
she slips away again!

MOVIE CLASSIC is happy to
report, in this issue, that
Renee Adoree has fought her way
back to health, and soon will be back
before the cameras again. There is
even a rumor that she may be in her
old role in "The Big Parade," which
is soon to be remade as a talkie. And
when the studio does get around to
actual production, I hope they'll at
least consider John Gilbert for his
old role of the doughboy. Maybe
someone else could do it as well as
John, but to me (and to how many
millions more?) that role is indelibly
associated with John, and John alone.

BELIEVE it or not, but Johnny
Weissmuller is scheduled to do
an Arctic picture. What! cover up
all that physique (six feet, four inches
of it) in furs? Even so, someone
ought to send protests to the Society
for Prevention of Spring Fever in
Eskimo Maidens.

Movie Chinese Not So Clever

WHY not genuine Chinese characters
in pictures instead of the fake vari-
ety which fools nobody and destroys any
illusion the fan might enjoy? In a state like
California which is so populous with
Chinese it ought not to be a difficult matter
to select and train youthful Orientals for
screen work and when realism is so insisted
upon in every other way I wonder the pro-
ducers do not wake up to the fact that to
take a pretty white girl, fix up her features
with collodion and other devices for creating
a slant-eyed effect, instruct her to affect
little, mincing steps and a coy manner, and
bill her as a Chink maiden, is merely turning
what would otherwise be a good drama into
a kind of semi-comedy or farce.

Perhaps you recall the flop which "Java
Head " made some years ago because the
producers tried to put Leatrice Joy across
as the Manchu wife? This sort of thing is
still being done, in spite of the remarkable
progress being made in every other angle of
screen work. Even the inimitable Chaney
was not entirely successful as a Chinese, and
Edward G. Robinson is much less so.

Warner Oland is about the only white
man who doesn't look phony when essaying
a Chinese part but with him it is a case of
good luck, rather than good makeup. He
actually has Oriental features. But why
is Anna May Wong the only Chinese girl
obtainable for leading parts? Loretta
Young was — only Loretta Young in "The
Hatchet Man."

Gurbo's Silence

I SAW Greta Garbo in "Mata Hari," and
1 was moved by it. Not by the plot of
the "exotic epic," which got badly tangled
up in Garbo's "ridiculously long lashes,"
but by the analogy I seemed to detect
between the character of the famous spy
and the equally famous screen star.

I found myself wondering if, as there was
a grim power, Wilhelmstrasse, behind Mata
Hari — dictating her every move and mood
— there might not be an equally implacable
power behind Greta Garbo, keeping her a
lonely and loveless woman.

Is Garbo's silence commanded by the roar

of the M-G-M lion? Grete Eisenhardt,

Credit Where Credit Is Due

RECENT scribes — their name is legion! —
. seem to be satisfied that the movies
are "taking a lesson" from the stage. Per-
haps. But, tolling 'em off on your fingers
with me, let's look at the most recent suc-
cesses and see who starred in them:
Richard Dix in "Cimarron."
Ronald Colman in " Arrowsmith."
Mae Marsh in "Over the Hill."
Lionel Barrymore in anything.
Garbo in "Susan Lenox."
Norma Shearer in "Private Lives."
Wallace Beery in "Hell Divers."
Sylvia Sidney in "Street Scene."
Sylvia Sidney in anything!
With the exception of Chatterton and
Sidney, a little while back, and Barrymore
some time back, these are the Old Guard of
famous film folk! What technique, stage or
otherwise, could make a better Beery than
we saw in "Hell Divers?" Who could have
marched through "Arrowsmith" with more
savoir-faire, than Colman?

How could you improve upon Mae
Marsh as the mother in "Over the Hill"?
Or La Shearer in "Private Lives"? Or
Dick Dix in that turbulent epic "Cimar-
ron?"

You couldn't! "Nothing succeeds like
success" — whether your artist be drilled
by an impresario, a megaphone, or a
machine gun! Whether the setting be a
New York stage, a Hollywood No Man's
Land — or a Bangkok magic carpet!
Let us, then, give California her due!

What-a-star

WHEN a Gable steals a picture from a
Beery — that isn't news! But when a
Beery brigands one from Whataman Gable
— that IS news!"

Wally Beery's acting has set a new high
for "individualism!" B. P. (Before Pro-
hibition) the customers went "Bleary."
Now they go "Beery!"

He has that rare attribute — an omni-
present "forgetfulness of self". . . in these
artless days of super-
stars, super-press-
agents, super- impre-
sarios, super-VANI-
TY!! You must admit
there is something
about a man who can
thus submerge his iden-
tity in the master
stroke of his portrayals.
What a pity that for
years, this genial artist
struggled, his light sub-
merged under a figura-
tive bushel. But now
he's a star. And what-
a-star! — W- Naugle,

which was the greatest picture of all time.

Grim war on the Summit of the Austrian
Alps. Italy and Austria locked in a death

Larry Reid*s Slant On The Latest Films

GRAND ^ take off my hat and make a low, sweeping bow in the direction of Holly-
wood. For the movies have improved upon both Vicki Baum's novel and
HOTEL Vicki Baum's play about life in a great hotel. It is still melodrama, yes — but
so vividly, so excitingly has director Edmund Goulding woven his picture that
you are likely to leave the theatre gurgling about art. Garbo gives the greatest performance
of her career as Grusinskaya, the lonely, famous dancer. Lionel Barrymore, for one — as
Kringelein, the invalid — forces her extra effort. So does Joan Crawford, as the exotic, sombre
stenographer. Hardly less notable are the performances of John Barrymore, as von Geigem,
the lover-thief; Wallace Beery, as Preysing, the villain of the piece; Lewis Stone, as the
bitter doctor; and Jean Hersholt, as Sen}, the porter. Here is an entertaining event in any
movie-lover's life!

*t/i >

IT'S TOU GH
TO BE FAMOUS

To me, this is far and away the best thing Douglas Fairbanks,
Jr., has done since "The Dawn Patrol" — and is about as
different from that as it could be. It is a comedy — one with
an original idea, for a change — and young Doug, wearing
that famous Fairbanks grin, steps out and proves himself every bit as amusing as Doug, Sr.,
ever has been. After the manner of Lindbergh, he captures the fancy of a nation by a single-
handed deed of valor (as a submarine commander, not a flier) — and from that moment he is a
harassed hero. All sorts of women want to kiss him; all sorts of men want to pump his hand;
statesmen want to make speeches at him; reporters want to interview him; even his wife
(Mary Brian) is convinced he shouldn't be as modest as he is. Besides being amusing, Doug
is very real — and the dialogue gives him every chance to be both.

BUT THE

FLESH IS WEAK

It hurts to say it — but the picture is also weak. It's another
of those Continental comedies — a mixture of froth and
spice — and Robert Montgomery again is a charming wastrel.
And this type of role, like this type of comedy, is the kind that
can't bear repeating many more times. Bob and his father (C. Aubrey Smith) are penniless
hangers-on in English society, and both are on the lookout for women with money. Bob falls
in love with a poor girl (a newcomer named Nora Gregor), while engaged to a rich one
(another newcomer named Heather Thatcher) — and, somehow, you can't see how he makes
such an error, for Miss Thatcher has it all over Miss Gregor. He finally gets out of the tangle
(as you know all along he will), even though he does it in a manner reminiscent of William
Haines in his "Brown of Harvard" days. Or should I say "daze"?

SYMPHONY OF
SIX MILLION

I'm glad I didn't miss this one — if for no other reason than
that it gives Ricardo Cortez the chance to come into his own
at last. He has been stealing pictures for years without ever
getting the break he deserved. But here it is, praise be.
Fannie Hurst, who knows Jewish character as few other authors do, has written a fine, though
sentimental story of a boy who gets his start in the Jewish section of the East Side of New
York, and then is torn away from his race by the ambitions of his family, to become a famous
doctor on Park Avenue. Cortez, who was born on this same East Side, knows whereof he is
acting, as the idealistic young son of Israel. Irene Dunne, as the girl who loves him and
finally wins him back to his people, is charming without living her part. Cortez, however,
lives his — and that's sufficient.

THIS IS
THE NIGHT

In the New York showing of this clever, melodious and delightfully
sexy farce, Lily Damita received the lowest billing of all — and this
was a puzzle to me. Though I was gratified to note that Roland
Young and Charlie Ruggles received top billing. The story is laid
in gay Paris and picturesque Venice, and its mood is as gay as the travel catalogues
say those two cities are. Roland Young, a gay blade, who makes the mistake of pursuing
Thelma Todd, has to tell her husband (Cary Grant) he is married — and then gets Lily Damita
to pose as his wife. Except for Thelma, Lily manages to intrigue everybody, including
Roland's pal, Charlie Ruggles, and Thelma's husband. It's a regular merry-go-round of a
story, with lilting songs, sparkling humor, a happy cast, and the most hilarious tipsy scene
yet — between Roland and Charlie. These two are devastatingly amusing.

SCARFACE It took courage for Howard Hughes to produce this picture — but the
New York censors had even more nerve to forbid New York movie-
goers the privilege of seeing it. For privilege it is. It is one of the most powerful pictures of
all time. There has never been anything like it before, and probably never will be again. The
case against the gangster is stated fully, dramatically, unforgettably. You see, in vivid
episodes reproduced from real life, the rise of a cold-blooded killer, you see the murder he gets
away with, you see how coolly he defies all law, and you want to do something about it.
Paul Muni deserves the Academy award for his portrait of Scarface. George Raft, as his
bodyguard, is hardly less memorable. And Ann Dvorak, as Scarface's sister, has two tragic
scenes that will go down in screen history.
Demand to see it!

EIGHBORS

GOINGS-ON AMONG THE PLAYERS

BY MARQUIS BUSBY

THIS has certainly been
moving month in Hol-
lywood. You see big mov-
ing vans all over the place,
and a lot of people are
homeless. They moved in
such a hurry, just to keep in
style, that they can't re-
member where they moved
to.

Janet Gaynor has taken
the big house of John (Irish
tenor) McCormack. After
living in a modest manse by
the sea for a long time,
Janet has moved into a
mansion. Maybe she's go-
ing to have parties and
things. Marlene Dietrich
moved from one Beverly
Hills location to another. A
newspaper printed her ad-
dress, and after that she
might just as well have been
living in a tent on the
Boulevard. No more pri-
vacy than Greta Garbo
taking a sun bath.

What's this — Garbo gone platinum-blonde for "As
You Desire Me"? Nothing else but! And Erich
von Stroheim no doubt is trying to get her to tell
if she dyed her hair or is wearing a transformation

A NOTHER mover is Phil Holmes,
/V who has taken a three-room
bungalow in Beverly. It's different
from most three-room bungalows.
It's on two floors, which seems like an
awful lot of swank for just three
rooms.

Those happy newlyweds, Greta
Nissen and Weldon Heyburn, have a
new beach house boasting a strictly
private beach. That makes it nice for
honeymooners.

But June Collyer and Stuart
Erwin win first prize for originality
during moving month. They have a
lease on a nice house in Beverly Hills,
and much to their dismay, they have
discovered that they still have a
lease on an apartment in Hollywood.
Both landlords are being pretty firm
about things, too. Would anyone like
a good lease which isn't working
much now?

STAGE producers needn't be so
snooty about their stars entering
pictures any more. When the foot-
light celebrities wander back to
Times Square they bring a nice army
of fans along with them.

Both Helen Hayes, appearing in

"The Good Fairy," and Leslie How-
ard, busy with "The Animal King-
dom," report exceptionally rushing
balcony business. Now, with big
stage attractions, it is usually fairly
easy to fill the orchestra chairs, but
the balcony looks like the wide open
spaces. Not with these two produc-
tions. Apparently a lot of film fans
have a burning desire to see their
favorites in the flesh, and are willing
to pay no more than movie theatre
prices for the privilege.

Lawrence Tibbett reports that
since he appeared in pictures there is
a line of people waiting for him at the
stage door. That never happened
before.

Movie names must help the box
office at the legitimate theatres.
Bebe Daniels and Ben Lyon were
offered #7500 a week to do a stage
play in New York. That's big
money in these times. And you can
bet your new Panama hat that
Ziegfeld doesn't get Lupe Velez and
Buddy Rogers for coffee-and-cake
money, either.

And Lois Moran can afford Rolls-
Royces after "Of Thee I Sing."

"I'll l>e on the set from Saturday morning till
Sunday," said Mary Doran over the wires, in
the voice of a girl who realizes that the life of
the most popular film 'vamp' in Hollywood is
not all roses. Off the screen she has dark red
hair, brown eyes, is a swell sport and the wife of
Joe Sherman, publicity man.

"We've been blood relatives for years," she
laughed when we met her. Interviewers were
taboo — since one had made Joan Blondell
neglect her lines.

' 'The Divorcee' gave me my first big chance," said Mary Doran.
"I wouldn't call myself a 'vamp,' exactly. The word signifies
height, Betty Blythe, and a multitude of snaky curves. I weigh
ninety-eight! "

"The modern vamp looks just like an ingenue — smart and clever.
She gets along by her wits. She does have to use her eyes, though.
That's fine with me! A girl can put more meaning into one glance
than into a hundred flowery speeches."

"When my last show closed, a friend and I went on an automobile
trip," says Cary Grant. "We threw some clothes into a couple of
suitcases and planned to stay in Hollywood two weeks. A director
— jokingly — asked me to take a test with a well-known actress.
When they saw it, they gave me a contract. So here I am."

Cary has dark flashing eyes, an olive complexion, and curly

black hair. When he leaves you he springs to attention and salutes

— possibly the influence of hero roles in musical

comedies.

■KMlaX "At fifteen I ran away from home and I've

been trouping ever since. Paramount gave me
parts in 'This Is the Night' and 'Sinners in the
Sun' but whether I'm going to play one of
Rudolph Valentino's old roles isn't decided.
Anyway, please don't compare me with him.
"Romance? All I ask of a girl is to be a good
sport — one as willing to ride in a broken-down
flivver as a new Rolls. Or go to prize fights."

Buy silk hose with that
$3 you save

Intelligent people, recognizing the remarkable
cleansing powers of Listerine Tooth Paste at25t,
buy it instead of dentifrices in the 50t class.
The average saving is $3 a year. Spend it as
you please. Hosiery is merely a suggestion.

V THIS THRIFT
DENTIFRICE BRINGS
TO TEETH

Do you want teeth that you can be proud of . . . that
are the envy of others?

Do you want teeth that are sound and healthy?

Do you want your mouth to feel refreshed and in-
vigorated . . . your breath to be sweet and agreeable?

If so, switch to Listerine Tooth Paste, the modern
dentifrice, at the common sense price of 25 cents.

This tooth paste has supplanted older and costlier
favorites in the esteem of both men and women.
Not because of the price — which saves you approxi-
mately $3.00 a year — but because of the quick,
satisfying results it achieves.

When we created Listerine Tooth Paste, we real-
ized that it must be superior in order to win users in
a field already overcrowded with good dentifrices.
We ask you to try a tube and judge whether or
not we have succeeded.

Listerine Tooth Paste contains special and mod-
ern cleansing and polishing agents. Dissolved in
saliva they reach front and back, and penetrate be-
tween the teeth, erasing tartar, tobacco stains, and
discolorations. After a few brushings, your teeth as-
sume a new brilliance and luster that you welcome.
Your gums feel firm and healthy. Your mouth has
a continual sensation of cleanliness. You realize that
at last you've found a tooth paste that really does
something for you.

And remember, for these benefits you are paying
about half of what you would ordinarily pay. That
we can offer a product of the quality of Listerine
Tooth Paste at 25c, is due to three factors: (1),
The ability to buy raw material on a large scale and
hence at a lower price. (2), The ability of cutting
manufacturing cost by means of modern machinery.
(3), The equipment to distribute the finished prod-
uct at a low price. All these economies are passed
on to you in this dentifrice so worthy of the Listerine
name. Lambert Pharmacal Company, St. Louis, Mo.

relationship between Ruth and Paul became as strained
as good old lemon juice. During the making of their last
picture they barely spoke.

Mavbe it is just possible that a star and even her
"favorite leading man" can make too many pictures
together. Warner Brothers and George Brent take note.

Here's to crime!
say Bela Lugosi
and Boris Karloff,
with leers in their
eyes. Boris is

about to chill you
in "The Old Dark
House," and no
telling what Bela
will do next. Won-
der what's in the
beakers?

BY the way, did you know that Universal has
just taken over Paul Lukas' Paramount con-
tract and that, from now on, he wdl be at Universal?
Universal liked Paul in "Strictly Dishonorable"
(as who didn't?), and when they heard that he
and the bosses had disagreed, they put in a bid
for him. And Paul, like Barkis, was willing. His
first picture for Universal will be "Zeppelin,"

MARLENE DIETRICH'S little girl is growing to
look more and more like her father, Rudolph
Sieber. When she first came to Hollywood many people
thought Maria resembled Marlene, but as she continues
to grow up, it becomes more and more apparent that the
little girl is going to "take after" her father, who cables her
every week, asking when she is coming to visit him in
Europe. But if the mountain can't go to Mahomet, well,
Mahomet can go to the mountain. Which is by way of
reporting that Herr Sieber is visiting his family in Holly-
wood— helping them find a new house that the tourists
and crank letter-writers won't know about.

.Marlene has gone so far as to arm her chauffeur, to guard
the little girl when she goes out to play.

Them Over

By Dorothy Manners

TUST recently Walter Winchell slyly hinted that this
department was 'way off the track in stringing with
( iilbert Roland .is head man in Norma Talmadge's af-
fections. Walter sort of insinuated that we would be
pretty sorn it Norma should ankle up to the altar with

IT LOOKED as though Mrs. Josef von Stern-
berg, or rather, the former Mrs. Josef von
Sternberg was all set to drop her alien ation-of-
affections suit against Marlene Dietrich. The
truce lasted about twenty-four hours, when Mrs.
von Sternberg announced that the suit would be dropped

published.

1 he letters in question are said to be one from a Europe-
an author to .Miss Dietrich, another from Miss Dietrich to
Mrs. von Sternberg and a third from Mrs. von Steinberg
to Miss Dietrich. The contents were not disclosed, but
one supposes that the author took back statements
that he attributed to Marlene — namely, To the effect that
she had told him that Jdsef was to be divorced from
his wife so that he would be free to marry her (Marlene).

Sylvia Sidney's

Secrets
in Her Face

Do you know why producers guessed
wrong when they thought Sylvia was
like Clara Bow — and why she looks so
sad — and why men can t often tell how
they rate with her? Read her character
through Faciology

By Toni Gallant

STUDY the portrait of Sylvia Sidney at the right —
one of her favorite portraits, showing her in her
favorite mood, a wistful mood. See if you can guess
what characteristics are shown by the features
marked with letters. Then check your guesses with the
chart below the portrait — telling you, feature by feature,
v. hat Physiognomy reveals about her character.

It is a well-known fact that Sylvia Sidney was chosen
Inr the screen at face value — and that she was originally
intended to take the place of Clara How. They do re-
semble one another in that their faces are both round and
agreeable to look at — but, outside of that, the resemblance
ceases. Clara Bow and Sylvia Sidney are two totallj
different types.

1 he science of Physiognomy could have told that in one
glance. It is true that they are both vital in type, bur they
are extreme opposites when it comes to thought and
temperament.

Sylvia Sidney likes sad moods. She clothes them about
her like soft veils. I > 1 1 1 inherently, sin- is not in the least
pessimistic. Fai from it. Deep down within herself, there
is sin li a love ol life and such vitality, that she is almost .1
child in her appreciation of things. Not childish — but
1 lnlillike. She is as new and fresh and naive as only a child
can be. For this reason her performances are a pleasure
to heboid — she gets such a lug "kick" out of them.
Acting is like a game to her.

Sylvia Shyer Than Clara

SYLVIA has plenty of the How charm, bur she is much
soberer, and cannot hope to possess that fien abandon
that was so likable m the llamehke "It" girl. But at tin-
same time Clara could never own the shy naivete that is
so naturally Sylvia's.

Intelligence plays a big part in Sylvia Sidney's charactei .
She has the sixth sense. It is revealed in her profile, her

ently romantic. She is tolerant, patient, sympathetic,

C. Coloring and texture. She is sensitive and impres-

D. Head formation — upper. She is perfectly normal,

sides of a question.

G. Forehead (vertical construction . She has an excellent
memory and a fine imagination.

H. Eyebrows. She is lively. Also moody and impression-
able. Relation of eyebrow to eye indicates she is not
deeply concentrative, but perceives quickly.

I. Eyes normally wide apart. She is able to regulate her
emotions without falling into eccentricities.

J. Eyes shape1. She is natively shrewd. You can't fool
her. She may be polite and let you think you have put
something over, but she is perfectly aware of what you
are doing.

K. Eyes 1 expression!. Sympathetic. Indicate racial, in-
herent sadness, but this is a mood, rather than an
active part of her existence. She can relax and laugh
and be a little playgirl just like the rest of them.

L. Nose. Shows she is capable of ardent affection, but is
selective in mind. She likes comfort anil material
wealth. Not too discriminating to be snobbish. She
is full of vitality.

M. Mouth and lips. Full and rich with color. Show she is
warm-hearted, though demonstrations are tempered
by reserve.

N. Lips 1 set formation^. They are a trifle oblique. This
means she struggles for self-control at times. The
lips are also a trifle drawn down, but from a mood
rather than pessimism.

O. Chin and jaws. Her chin is broad and short. She is
good-natured, but persevering. Likes to be easygoing.

The Trials

of a
Hollywood

Ex-Wife

By Dorothy Calhoun

THE names of Clark Gable and Boris Karloff are
on everybody's tongue to-day. Overnight, after
years of struggle, they have taken the movies by
storm. Everybody wants to know what they are
like in private life, where they came from, how they got
their start. Someone discovers that both men have been
divorced. The Press rushes to find the ex-wives — to get
their stories.

And if the ex-wives claim they have nothing to tell, and
object to being asked impertinent questions? They will be
forced to tell, they will be persecuted! This is no idle
statement. They have already suffered this persecution.
For months.

Reporters for sensational newspapers, feature writers
for Sunday supplements, not satisfied with the prosaic
details handed out by publicity departments, are vying
with each other to unearth the most startling stories pos-
sible about these suddenly famous Unknowns. They re-
alize that the ex-wives of these men know intimate details
about these men — and they expect ex^wives to tell.

The lively curiosity of the public demands colorful facts
about their favorites, particularly about their pasts.
"You Americans!" Valentino once said bitterly, "you set
up idols for the fun of tearing them down!"

In the search for color and sensation, everyone who has
known the new stars intimately in the un-
known past is sought out. But the brunt of
the attack falls on the women they have put
out of their lives and who, the sensation-
hunters argue, must be anxious to get even
with them. // these self-appointed investi-
gators were right, these women would be pros-
perous to-day. Thousands of dollars have
been offered to them for their stories — and
indignantly turned down. And so they have
been persecuted, bitterly, cruelly.

Refused Story; Lost Work

JOSEPHINE DILLON GABLE, as a re-
) suit of refusing a well-known magazine
writer a vindictive story about her ex-
husband, Clark Gable, has lost many of her
voice training pupils — because of statements
the writer made about her. Pauline Karloff,
ex-wife of Boris, has had her telephone dis-
connected and has finallv been forced to

Does Clark Gable realize how his ex-wife,
Josephine Dillon, has been persecuted by re-
porters because she will not tell, even for a
price, the intimate details of their life together?
Does Boris Karloff realize what his ex-wife has
similarly suffered by remaining silent? No one
can realize — until reading this story!

change her address to escape scandal-hunters. Borh of
these women, almost distraught, half-sick with anxiety,
have come r<> Movie Classic as their friend, and have

cried our their sense of the injustice of such persecution in
almost the same words:

"/ am so unimportant. I ask nothing except to be allowed
to earn my living in peace and quiet. I don't know how to
deal with such people — they frighten me. If they would only
leave me alone ..."

As long ago as last autumn, Josephine Dillon Gable told
me of the persecution she was enduring. She was desperate
to find a way to stop it. She wondered if a story of Clark
Gable's fight for fame, during the time they were married,
would not satisfy the curiosity about their life together.
She told me this stop,-, and it was published in the De-
cember, 1931, issue of Movie Classic. But its appearance
only added fuel to the fire. If she had given a story to
Movie Classic, why couldn't she give one to them? They
could not understand her reticence, did not want to
understand it.

Neither of these women has any desire to capitalize on
the sudden rise to fame of her ex-mate, or on the name she
has a legal right to bear. And neither has any desire to
harm, by any unwise word or by any statement to an
irresponsible reporter, the men whom they once loved and
married. As a consequence, they have been subjected to
insults, bullying, threats and actual reprisals. They have
been forced to wonder if they could trust even their
friends. These ex-wives have had to ask tor protection !

Clark Gable had lived in Los Angeles
for seven years of struggle before he sud-
denly found fame. Every shabby side street
in that part of Hollywood known as "below
the Boulevard" has just such handsome,
hopeful and often hungry actors who — once
m a w hile —leave their unpretentious bunga-
lows in make-up and rented tuxedos to play
a bit in a society scene. Nobody knows their
names, nobody knows how they live. A few
gas station employees and garage mechanics
(pals of his) knew of Gable's hopes and fears,
his habits and his history — and they were
the only ones. Except — the woman w ho w as
his wife for six of those years of struggle.

So the bloodhounds of the yellow press
tracked Josephine Dillon Gable down to the
humble little backyard house she had rented,
in 1 he shadow ot Hollywood's own "Grand
Motel," the Roosevelt. Mere she earned a

He'd Rather Die
an Eat Meat

George Arliss said that twenty years ago — when
a doctor told him he couldn't live without it —
and his statement still holds good. In protest
against the brutal trapping and slaughter of help-
ess animals, he gets along — very well, thank
you! — as a Vegetarian

By GLADYS HALL

Twenty years ago, on a train trip across the
prairies, Mr. and Mrs. Arliss saw cattle
dying by the wholesale, victims of human
brutality. From that day hence, they never
touched meat again. And they haven't
missed it

E SHOULD not kill !" says George Arliss.

"We have no right to kill to eat. We have

no right to kill animals for our own benefit."

Thus speaks "The Man Who Played

God." He would not kill — or have anyone else kill — in

order to clothe himself (or his wife) with furs ripped

from the twisted bodies of animals trapped for the

purpose. Nor would he countenance, if he could help

it, the wearing of feathers torn from the bleeding

breasts of birds.

He feels that no woman would be a party to the
trapping of wild animals if she could once hear the
piteous moans of the trapped creatures as they cry
out their pain to the unheeding winds. He could not
live happily with himself if he ate meat, remembering,
as he does, the agonized eyes of cattle as they stand
in the blood of those who preceded them and await their
turn to die at the hands of the slaughterer. He could
not, and he does not, subsist in any way upon the
dead bodies of any creatures that have walked the
earth.

More than twenty years ago, Mr. and Mrs. Arliss
were coming West by train. With, I believe, the late
great Minnie Maddern Fiske, herself an ardent mem-
ber of the various Humane and Anti-Vivisection
Societies. Enroute, they noted the herds of cattle
along the snow-swept plains, some of the animals
nothing but racks of protruding bones, many of them
carcasses left there to rot, grim sacrifices on an altar
more bloody than that of Baal. The cattle-men, it
appeared, found it cheaper to allow the animals to
freeze and to starve than to house and feed them
during the severe winter. Kindliness — humanity —
compassion — what had these benevolent terms to do
with animals?

Eat Meat? Never again!

MR. AND MRS. ARLISS looked on these
dumb, unburied dead and, for the first
time, the suffering of these "lesser brethren"
came sharply home to them. As sharp as the

Divorce of Ann Harding
and Harry Bannister
Stuns Movie Colony

Union Had Been Called Hap-
piest Marriage In Hollywood

—Couple s Sudden Decision
Totally Unexpected Even By
Friends

By LOUISE SYKES

.-1 uitc y
Ann Harding has suddenly become "a
woman of mystery" to Hollywood, which
never expected her to be divorced

WHEN Ann Harding and Harry-
Bannister announced that
they were parting, Hollywood was
stunned. This was one "happy movie
marriage" that even Holly-wood be-
lieved in. Everyone in town studied
the notes the couple sent to the
press, tried to "read between the
lines," to find the real reasons for the
divorce.

Ann wrote that because Harry,
submerging his own career to hers,
had gradually become known as
"Mr. Ann Harding," they were
divorcing "before this unfortunate
situation has a chance to destrov the
love and respect we have for each
other." Harry wrote that he had had
Ann's "love and respect and devo-
tion" during the five and a half years
of their marriage, and to preserve
this, they were taking "the apparent-
ly drastic course" of divorce.

Ever since their arrival in Holly-

wood three years ago, these two have
been exceptions to the Hollywood
rules of scandal, divorce and marital
unhappmess. Writers rapturously-
reported Ann's praises of domestic
life, her love for her husband and
child. Photographers pictured her
with her little girl in her arms, pic-
tured Ann and Harry
much together. People
beamed approvingly,
"This is one Holly-
wood marriage that is
different."

\\ omen's clubs,
very particular whom
they invite to speak
to them, sought out
Ann Harding continu-
ally— as the one ac-
tress they could ad-
mire with clear
consciences. Perhaps
no other part of the
public, except their
personal friends,
suffered the shock of
dismay of these
women's clubs when
the divorce plans were
released. Their last
Hollywood illusion
had been taken from
them — this seemed to be their atti-
tude. Everywhere a writer goes
in Hollywood these days, he is be-
sieged with questions. "What's the
lowdown on the Harding-Bannister
divorcer" Players talk about little
else over lunch tables. Ann's studio,
RKO, is still slightly dazed. They
had no warning of the divorce plans.
The publicity- department bewails the

fact that they didn't have a chance
to break the news "more tactfully."
Ann Harding is bearing herself
through these trying days like the
soldier's daughter she is. Self-disci-
pline carries her to work every morn-
ing, head high. She steadfastly refuses
to add anything to the statements she

All kinds of theories have been
advanced byr Holly/wood, explaining

be ignored is that the simple explana-
tions that Ann and Harry themselves

that she could make a handsome
young Englishman propose to her in
two weeks' time. She won the wager
and the Englishman Charles Prin-
gle, son ot Sir John Pringle, chief
privy counselor of Jamaica, hirst

She has not even seen him since 1925,
when he made her a two-week visit in

When the news broke that Aileen
Pringle was getting a divorce,
Hollywood wondered if she and
Matt Moore (right) weren't plotting
a wedding. They have been pals for
twelve years, and there is something
very domestic about the way Matt
makes himself at home at Aileen's
house, say friends

Hollywood and refused to let
her entertain for him or to go
to parties for fear of meeting
some of the movie stars he
disliked so much.

Aileen explains about her
divorce in the most Pringhsh
way possible.

"It was this way," says
she. "My husband and I had
a sort of 'gentlemen's agree-
ment' that if either of us
wanted to marry someone
else, rhe other would get a
divorce — but as long as we
weren't in love with anyone,
we would stay married. I
rather liked the idea of being
a married woman in
Hollywood — it was a
sort of anchor to
windward, you know.
And Charles didn't
mind having an ab-
sentee wife. So we drifted
along tor years and years and
years.

"Then, not long ago, he
wrote to tell me that he did
want to marry someone else.
I believe that's broken off
now, but at the moment he
lound me a decided obstacle
to his happiness. So, of
course, I promised I'd get a
divorce. Only — you know I
have a wretched memory' — I
kept forgerting about it.
I'd remember it at
night, just as I was
dropping off to
sleep, but the next
day it would slip
my mind again. I
made memoran-
dums,'Get a divorce
to-day," and lost
^k them. It was a per-

^^^ feet shame, the way
A I neglected that di-
■ jm vorce!

^m "You see, the

main reason I'd
never bothered to

Aileen explains that she had promised her hus-
band to get a divorce, but kept "forgetting" about
it — until she read about Mexican divorces

get unmarried was all the trouble it
took — and the cold-bloodedness of
'telling the judge,' and all that.
Then, fortunately, I read about the
new mail-order divorces one can get
in Mexico, without moving a step out
of one's comfortable home, or waiting
more than a few days for it. I called
up my lawyer and asked him if they
were really all right. 'Just as good as
a Reno or Pans divorce, so long as
both parties want them.' So he sent
me the papers, I mailed them to Mr.
Pringle, we both signed and they're
off to Mexico now. And in a few days,
when the postman brings the mail,
I'll have my divorce."

Aileen denies that she and Matt
Moore are going to be married. Matt
lives a block or two away, and may be
found at the Pringle home almost any
evening, "when neither of us has any-
thing really amusing to do," says
Aileen, with devastating frankness.

"I've known Matt for twelve
years," she explains. "We're such old
friends that I can call on him when I
haven't any other escort, and he can
dine at my house when his cook is
out. We're just good pals."

Was Greta Nissen Wed Twice
To Weldon Heyburn?

Hollywood Believes Norwegian Beauty and Alabama Athlete Eloped Three
Months Before Recent Marriage — Renting Agent Had Sought House For Them

WAS the marriage of Greta
Nissen and Weldon Hey-
burn at Tia Juana, Mexico, on March
30 the second wedding ceremony for
this couple? Hollywood believed
them secretly married some three
months before the publicity cere-
mony. And Hollywood's belief was
based on some fairly logical deduc-
tions.

The "secret marriage" rumors
started when a renting agent, rep-
resenting ''.Mr. and Mrs. Weldon

The activities of this agent focused
the spotlight on the couple as the
latest who might have "put over" an
elopement. Investigation revealed
other circumstantial evidence.

something to the effect that she was

"She certainly is a wonderful girl,"

"We were married a lew days ago."

"'What! \\ hen? \\ lien?" demanded
the startled publicity man. Heyburn
gulped, said something about "jok-
ing," and rushed from the room. I he
publicity man, however, was nol
satisfied. He had another member of
the staff telephone Greta's apart-
ment and ask lor "Mrs. Heyburn."

little things might be.

Claire Windsor Will Fight
$100,000 "Love Thief" Suit

Former Screen Favorite Does Not Intend To Settle Alienation-of-Affections
Case Out Of Court — Hollywood Friends Rush To Actress' Defense

BY JOAN DlCKEy

y^-LAIRE WINDSOR,
V_> glamourous blonde
star of silent-picture fame,
has just been sued for
$100,000 by one Mrs.
Marion Read, who alleges
that Claire alienated the
affections of the plaintiff's
husband, Alfred C. Read,
Jr., 29-year-old stock
broker. And one hundred
and forty movie celebrities
have come forward to offer
aid to Claire as character
witnesses.

" I ime after tune, my
friends have been unjustly
accused, and 1 suppose it's
my turn now," says Claire,
who is currently displaying
her blondeness opposite Al
Jolson in "Wunder Bar"
on the Los Angeles stage.
"But when your life is an
open book, a thing so ut-
terly absurd as this hurts.
Why, I have seen Mr.
Read only five or six times
in my life!"

Claire says she is "going to fight
this thing to a finish, because it's high
time to stop this abuse of people in
the public eye." She, herself, has
been in the public eye at least a dozen
years — and this is the first love law-
suit that has ever been brought
against her. Naturally, however,
there have been romance
rumors connected wit'
her name.

Hollywood remem-
bers the hours that
Buddy Rogers, in
his moon-calf days,

A year or so ago, romance rumors - -,,• ~ ni_ r

linked Claire with Philip Plant, millionaire, Philip
cently as last year, ex-husband of Constance Bennett Plant, who once

was the husband of another screen
blonde, Constance Bennett. She was
aboard the Plant yacht when it
collided with another ship, and was
rescued. She first told rescuers she
was "Mrs. John Smith," but later ad-
mitted her identity, denying any
wedding plans, however.

Visiting artists and critics used to
pick out Claire Windsor as "the most
beautiful screen star." She still is
radiantly lovely. It is a remarkable
tribute to her that in twelve years in
the full glare of the spotlight, there is
such a small file of sensational news-
paper clippings about her.

"It is my experience," says Oscar
Cummins, Hollywood lawyer, "that
sooner or later every beautiful young
actress is exposed to the dangers of
such a lawsuit as has been brought
against Claire
Windsor, no
matter how
blamelessly she
lives."

Claire intends
to fight to
lessen that
danger!

Besides testi-
fying in the pre-

ever comes to
trial — Clai re
may have to tes-
tify in the suit
recently brought
against Philip

captain of the

sued for alienation of affections is

Mrs. von Sternberg has just dropped

her next picture — "Just a Woman" — may explain her explanation

James Dunn and Sally Eilers aren't near-sighted — they're just a
couple of good lookers who can register romance even in close-

twosomes. The next for Jimmy and Sally is now in preparation

Confessions

of a

Gigolo

George Raft, the most talked-about actor in
Hollywood and the sensation of Dancers
in the Dark and Scarface, will startle you
as Valentino did. And there's a reason.
Twelve years ago, he and Rudy were dancing
for profit in the same New York cafe, with
women hunting for romance!

By
ROBERT DONALDSON

THE shade of The Sheik has reached from the
grave to bring movie fame to slick, varnish-
haired George Raft — not as a Latin lover, but as
a gangster. Nor is it the shade of Valentino at
the height of his picture fame, but of Valentino, the
gigolo. George Raft and Valentino were gigolos to-
gether in New York in the days before Rudy was dis-
covered and won fame in "The Four Horsemen."

Nearly thirteen years ago, that was. Valentino's star has
risen and tragically fallen since then. George Raft's is just
rising. Strangely enough, the two look amazingly alike,
although Ratt in no way capitalized on this in getting into
pictures. The principal difference is that Valentino was some-
what taller.

Suave and sieek, Raft plays the bodyguard of that bloody
character, Scarface, in the embattled Hughes picture of the
same name. His death scene is one of the finest pieces of
celluloid acting Hollywood has ever witnessed.

Oddly enough, people who have known George in New
York whisper that at one time he played this role of body-
guard to a famous gangster in real life, and was seen about
Broadway resorts, keeping always as close to him as his own
shadow.

As the dapper and deadly underworld sheik in "Dancers in
the Dark," he came close to stealing the picture from Miriam
Hopkins and Jack Oakie. People left the theatre asking each
other who he was. He has also appeared in "Quick Millions"
and "Hush Money," the latter being his first film.

Raft was born in New York City, on 41st Street between

Ninth and Tenth Avenues. His mother was Italian, his

lather German. When in his teens, he became a professional

boxer, and fought fur two years in the flyweight class, at 112

r)id~ vou know thai only a decade ago women paid

his way to movie fame and fortune

By EDWIN SCHALLERT

CHARLIE
CHAPLIN is re -
turning to
Hollywood
about the first of June,
a n d — ''It's about
time!'' exclaim his
friends, who are often
his severest critics.
"The king of the movies
has been playing
around with European
nobility so long that
people are forgetting
about him. He has be-
come a playboy, a gad-
about. But he'd better
show up pretty soon
where he works, or he
won't be king much
longer. He'll be a back
number."

Chaplin went abroad
for four months and
he has stayed a full
fourteen. He has
been feted like a
king. No doubt
about that. He has
been acclaimed and
applauded by the
populace of London,
Paris, Berlin and
points between, while
Mussolini-like he has
bowed to the mob from
second-story balconies.
He has skied about
St. Moritz and has
frolicked in the sunny
waters of Nice, Monte
Carlo, Biarritz and
their environs.

Women have figured in his life abroad — and how! And
he has not only talked with kings of the royal blood, but
has also gone promenading with them. He has dallied
with prime ministers, lords and their ladies, and vis-
counts and viscountesses, and even tete-a-teted with
Mahatma Gandhi. He has shot the works in hobnobbing
with the idle rich, the bon tons and the nabobs.

A great triumph, all this has been for the moody,
baggy-pantsed little laugh-and-tear-maker, who, sixteen

Like Mussolini, Chaplin
had to get in the habit of
bowing to crowds from
balconies. Here's how he

native heath. His
greatest triumph, in-
deed— far overshadow-
ing the one that he en-
joyed on his previous
{rip abroad ten years
ago! However, what of
it? Has it been worth
all the time he has
given to it?

There won't be any
rose-strewn pathways
to greet his return to
filmdom. The fatted
calf will not be slaught-
ered to make a holiday
for the returning prodi-
gal. The film colony —
that is, the vast new
film colony brought in
by the talkies — will
probably just passingly
say: "Oh yes, Chaplin's

to other and more press-
ing affairs.

Will he have to talk now?

"He'll Have to Talk, or Else"

IT seems amazing, but the myth
of the Chaplin greatness, so
far as Hollywood is concerned, has
blown up higher than a kite in the
past twelve months. One can
scarcely stir up interest in his fame
or his fate among the present popu-
lation. Most of the new inhabit-
ants paid scant attention to the
screen in the old days. The fact
that the silent films had kings and
queens, and that they were really
celebrated, means nothing. Motion
picture history began, so far as they

ing a trek to the comedian's quaint red-brick studio on La Brea Avenue,
for news about him. Even when he was away, in former days, there was
a perpetual parade of writers to the studio. They banged the doors in
the hope of getting a glimpse of the place where Charlie worked, or
touching his shoes or seeing his tattered comedy wardrobe, or the cane
that he carried so swaggeringly. "Mecca," the Chaplin studio was called
in the old days, and everybody sought to go there sometime to cleanse
his soul in the place where screen art truly flourished.

"Just a back number" — that's the insistent refrain. "Charlie can't
go on making silent pictures. He'll never make a go of a second one. The
novelty of 'City Lights' put it over, but a fat chance he'll have to follow
that up!"

The irony is that the last laugh may be Charlie's. After all, he is
laughing now financially at the crazy, topsy-turvy movie city. The only
picture that has made any really big money in many moons is "City
Lights," and that's because of its international distribution.

The returns on "City Lights" will be between three and four million
dollars.- If "Cimarron," the biggest talker of the past year, gathers in
two million dollars, it will be a wonder. Chaplin, grossed approximately
half that amount on the New York and London runs of his picture alone,
and there's no end to what he has made elsewhere.

I he comedian will certainly be personally richer by more than a million
dollars as a result of his exploit in the silents, exclusive of what may be
deducted for income tax, and go for alimony, if that is to be charged off.

The Chaplin fame registers in all foreign countries. He set forth on his
tour in February, 1931, sailing on the Mauritania. He was lionized in
England, sat at the same table with the Prince of Wales and the Duchess
of Sutherland, week-ended with Lord and Lady Astor at their country
place in Plymouth, was guest of the Duke of West minister tor boar-
hunting in Normandy, had tea with Lloyd George in the House of Com-

Does a

Mother-Complex

Threaten Swanson Career?

LORIA

Swan-
son will
never
have a baby!"

Wallace Beery
told me this dur-
ing a heart-to-
heart talk, years
ago. He spoke
wistfully, for he
had recently di-
vorced the bud-
ding star and one
of his grounds —
along with "de-
sertion" — had
been that his wife
did not wantchil-
dren.

Barely twenty,
athirst for an ex-
citing life and
burning with a
determination' to
win film fame,
Gloria felt no
urge for mother-
hood then. But
now, twelve years
later, a mother-
complex is
threatening
Gloria Swanson' s
career!

"I am going to have another baby!"
she cried excitedly to the London press
last February. "Isn't it wonderful?"

It was the cry of a woman who can-
not imagine a greater thrill than
motherhood.

She has developed a veritable pas-
sion for children and has expressed a
desire for a large family. The ques-
tion arises: Does this desire mean that
Gloria now would rather be a mother
than a screen star? Her friends think
it does — and would not be surprised if
Gloria should soon leave the screen.
Particularly since the baby born to her and Michael
Farmer in London on April 5 was a girl — when she had
been hoping for a boy, "so I could name it Michael"!

During the intervening years since she and Wallace
Beery went their separate ways, Gloria has touched every
point in a woman's experience. She has won
world fame such as few other women have at-
tained. She has triumphed spectacularly — and

she has been near failure. She
has made fortunes — and she
has been in debt almost a mil-
lion dollars. She has married
and been divorced, she has
had a daughter and has
adopted a son. Yet, just be-
fore she left for Europe in
December with her new hus-
band, Michael Farmer, Gloria
told a friend that no fame or
fortune or any other experi-
ence had ever given her the
sheer joy that she felt when
she knew she was to have an-
other baby. She had never
longed for anything more.

Pities Childless Women

AM thrilled to tears,"
she said, "and I find
myself looking at other wom-
en who have not known
motherhood, with a feeling of
pity. I would gladly sacrifice
everything I have ever gained,
rather than relinquish this
precious hope."

Though the coming baby
was a secret that Hollywood
wasn't sure it knew, she
talked freely about it to in-
timate friends. In-
deed, she would
scarcely talk about
anything else. She
urged her bachelor-
girl acquaintances
to marry as quickly
as possible in order
to share her joy in
bringing a child in-
to the world. "If
you don't hurry
up," she warned
them, as of the
most terrible
tragedy conceiv-
able, "it may be too
late for you to have any children of your own at all!"

Despite four marriages and three divorces before her
thirty-second birthday (which, by the way, she cele-
brated on March 27 in Paris), Gloria firmly believes in
marriage, believes it should be the foundation of every

woman's life.

hood, is in a mood to leave the

Judge

By DORIS JANEWAY

HERE you have Arline
Judge : Five-feet-nothing-at-all, nineteen years
old, curves like the bronze statuette on a lamp,
skin the color of pale molasses, a saucy haircut,
a sensuous, throbbing little voice and the trademark of
her lipstick on the tips of her cigarettes. She looks like
Peter Pan with sex-appeal. She is, to put it mildly, hot-cha
(as Jimmy Durante and the college boys would say;. And
maybe you think RKO isn't grooming her for stardom!

Not since Sue Carol has any movie girl come along to
play so much havoc in undergraduate circles, as Arline.
They write her: "You're a hon-ey, honey," and, "when I
step out to Hollywood, how about stepping out to the
Cocoanut Grove with me?" That Arline, in private life,
is very much Mrs. Wesley Ruggles has made little or no
difference in the date bids. But then, "College boys never
were strong on reading marriage certificates." She has a
million bids, a million of 'em.

She's used to being the college
boys' delight. Long before the movies ever happened to
her in "Are These Our Children?", she was causing her
own parents plenty of excitement in wondering, "Is This
Our Child?" She had her first collegiate date at the ad-
vanced age of fifteen. There was a chaperon, of course,
supplied by the polite girls' school she attended. And from
then on, her life was a gay round of proms and hops and —
once in a while — near-romance.

" I guess I was lucky," says Arline from under the brim
of a black hat that almost completely obscures one brown
eye, leaving only a single orb to observe me and the
RKO lunchroom activities. "I 'prommed' and 'hopped'
it from Annapolis to West Point without ever running into

for a woman to grow even more
charming as the years go by — if she
is willing to take sensible care of
her complexion!"

"I'm 29," says Esther Ralston.
"No one need fear birthdays. We
on the screen, of course, must keep
youthful charm and a young-look-
ing skin is absolutely necessary!"

How, you wonder, do these beau-

Roland Young

Loves
Two
Women

And Tells Why

By Hale horton

THIS is the story of the world's most
unusual triangle the story of an ac-
tor who actually loves his mother-in-
law. A mother-in-law, especially in
Hollywood, is usually either a joke or a Tar-
tar. Anyway, she isn't supposed to be any-
thing human. When a marriage hits the
rocks, she usually gets the blame. When the
young couple are extra happy, she doesn't get
any of the credit. She's something to be put
up with, not esteemed. But here's the excep-
tion you've always wanted to meet. And found
right in the wilds of Hollywood, at that!

I lie mother-in-law
is Clare K u m m e r ,
ch a rm 1 n g worn an .
m o t h e r a n d p 1 a y -
w right— vv h i 1 e t li e
ni an is none other
than Roland \ oung,
renowned stage and
screen actor, whimsi-
cal story-teller, so-
phisticated world-
traveler, valued din-
ner guest, gold-fish
fancier and possessor
of the world's most
fantastic conglomera-
tion of penguins.

He not only loves
his mother-in-law,
but, to quote the fel-
low himself, "It it
weren't tor Clare
Rummer, my career

very likely would never have amounted to a damn!"
Rather a definite statement, don't you think? But then
Roland Young, in spite of his whimsical nature, is a defi-
nite sort of a person, an Englishman with definite ideas, a
man who can make up his mind in a split second and who
knows precisely what he wants, in either business or pleas-
ure. ^ oung admits, however, that he was not so positive
a petson before meeting the woman who was to be his
mother-in-law. In numerous little ways, she helped even
to build his chatacter.

In considering Roland Young himself, first remember

* -

Did you ever hear of an ac-
tor s loving his mother-in-
law? But Roland Young,
pointing to Clare Kummer/
famous playwright, says she s
different. They were pals for
fourteen years before he
married her little girl, Mar-
jorie (right) — and Clare
made Roland what he is
to-day!

that you've seen him in a
dozen and a half pic-
tures, notably in "The
Squaw Man," "New
Moon," "Annabelle's Af-
fairs," "The Prodigal,"
"Pagan Lady," "The
Guardsman," "A Wom-
an Commands," "Lov-
ers Courageous," "One
Hour With You" and
"This Is the Night."
And furthermore, you
were quietly enthusiastic
over the whimsical high
comedy so peculiarly his.
I his son of Keith
Young, famous English
hospital architect, was born in London on Novem-
ber ii, 1SS7, and he has been at peace with the
world ever since. Before going to the University of
London, he received a preliminary education at
Sherbourne in Dorsetshire. "A very old school,"
says Roland. "Alfred the Great went there, and
all that sort of thing. The studies in my particular school-
house were Thirteenth Century monks' cells, budt below
the level of the ground. But, as a matter of fact, this
monastery life wasn't half-bad, as they served ale every
afternoon. Although." he adds, "you couldn't catch a
buzz on seventeen mugs of the stuff."

Even though Roland was a delicate child, he lived away

from home between the ages of eight and eighteen. "But

this had its compensations," he believes. "My being away

at boarding school thwarted my older brothers and sisters

And Tells Why

in their great ambition to boss me around."
In 1910 Keith Young decided that his son,
like himself, should become an English hos-
pital architect; and if not that, at least a
diplomat or a banker. Roland, however,
preferred a cold to any career but acting, so
he caught one, and, indeed, became so ill he
was unable to speak. Sympathetically, his
father quizzed him concerning his career,
but this parental sympathy elicited nothing
but heart-rending groans. In fact, when his
father mentioned the banking business,
Roland emitted a whole series of groans and
paled perceptibly. It was only after his fa-
ther had finally said, "Well, my boy, you
might as well become an actor," that Roland
gave out a happy grunt, and they do say the
speed of his recovery was miraculous.

She Changed His Luck

AFTER a year at the Tree Dramatic
. School in London (this was after his
'Varsity days), he was given a part in "bind
the Woman." Then he played stock in the
English provinces, returning to London with
"Improper Peter." So successlul was he in
this endeavor that he was given a chance in
"Hindle Wakes," with which play he went
to Xew York, and after which play he was
dogged by a pack of bad luck, mitigated
only when he met his future mother-in-law,
1 'lare Kummer.

\'ju a successful movie actor, Roland
\ oung owns a charming Beverly Hills home
in which he lives with his mother-in-law,
his wife, Marjorie, a Russian wolf hound "of
the Romanoff line," and a black alley-cat
called "b'nex" — "short for unexpected," he
explains. And an unbelievable collection of
penguins. He owns a penguin from every
port in the world, penguins of all descrip-
tions. Penguins of ivory, wood, gold, silver
and bronze. Penguins of china, blown-glass
and steel. Penguins with their hats on, and
in automobiles. Wood blocks, oils and wa-
ter-colors of penguins. Families of penguins,
bachelor penguins and young maiden pen-
guins, demurely blushing. And this in
spite of the fact that Young is known as a
gold-fish fancier and insists that his life's
ambition is to become a salmon! Besides
the penguins, his hobbies are writing whim-
sical poems "not for children," and drawing
caricatures of his friends and himself.

"I hate to think what would have hap-
pened to my life if it hadn't been for Clare
Kummer. She molded me from a haphazard
actor into a successful man." (For it was
Clare Kummer who helped Roland exploit
his flair for whimsy by weaving plays around
it.) "Plays," he insists, "in which I simply
couldn't fail!

His Wife Was Then Ten

IT was in 1912 that I first made her ac-
quaintance. Just before the closing of
'Hindle Wakes.' My wife, who was ten
years old at the time, brought her mother
backstage and introduced us and invited me
to visit her mother's apartment. From then
on a great friendship existed between Clare
and myself, and still does, even though she
now is my mother-in-law-. I married her
daughter Marjorie in 1926 (after a fourteen-
year courtship!). Incidentally, during the
wedding ceremony, which was performed on
the vine-covered back porch of Clare's sum-
mer cottage at Xarragansett Bay, a grass-
hopper caused considerable confusion by
jumping down the front of the blouse of one

of the maids-of-honor, making it imperative
for her to leave at once.

"But to get back to Clare: For some time
alter the premature death of 'Hindle Wakes,'
1 found myself at a low ebb. I had rehearsed
six months, worked ten days and got paid
for five — afterwards going with the Wash-
ington players in great affluence at twenty
dollars a week. As a matter of fact, it was
possible to live on it then — and, what's
more, to drink on it, too. There were plenty
of places to get a good cocktail for fifteen
cents. F'ancy that, if you will!

"However, it was about this time that
Clare gave me a splendid boost. In order
that I might do something worth while, this
dear woman wrote me a one-act play. It
was put on at a banquet; and while I went
up in my lines pretty badly, as I recall,
Clare was very pleasant about it.

"Before writing that play, my mother-in-
law already had composed two songs —
'Dearie' and 'Egypt' — not to mention an
enchanting musical comedy called 'Xoah's
Ark.' Xo, let's see, that's not the name.
Ah-h-h," he grunted after a moment of
thought, "now I have it! It concerned
Xoah's Ark and was called 'Rainy Day.'
The one-act play wasn't musical, though.
Just tropical. But it must have been beauti-
fully written for it caused something very
charming to happen to me. It was the well-
known turning point.

Again She Came to Rescue

OX the strength of this play Arthur
Hopkins, the producer, called me in
for a part and inquired as to what salary I
wanted. I took a deep breath and men-
tioned a salary which, to my ears, sounded
most fantastic. I asked for a hundred dol-
lars a week — whereupon he suggested that I
leave the salary to him until after the show
opened in Xew Haven. At which time Ar-
thur again called me in and said that he had
decided not to give me a hundred a week,
but a hundred and fifty instead!

"Soon alter this, however, I again seemed
on the verge of proving a bust as an actor,
and once more my mother-in-law came to
the rescue." This time Clare Kummer res-
cued him with a play rather aptly titled
"The Rescuing Angel," as well as a musical
comedy called "Good Gracious Annabelle"
and such plays as "Rollo's Wild Oat," "A
Successful Calamity"' and "Pomeroy's
Past." So it was that Roland Young became
a definite success.

From the first moment Clare Kummer met
him she was the true motivating force of his
life. What's more, he admits it. And he is
deeply grateful.

"For everything I am or own in the world
to-day, I am directly indebted to Clare,"
Young tells you with the utmost sincerity.
"When I was nothing but a shiftless and
mediocre actor, she comforted me, shooed
away the blue devils, urged me on and en-
couraged me with words, as well as with the
more material assistance of her plays. She
gave me the opportunity of achieving a
reasonably solid success on both stage and
screen. Because of her, I am earning the
money with which to gratify my rather odd
whims, the money to run my home, to buy
practically anything in the world that I
want. And last, but not least, she gave me
my wife, Marjorie, whom I love with my
very life — so is it any wonder that I love my
mother-in-law?"

Did You Knatr That ... English producers have been cabling Roland Young: "Please come home.
Ail will be forgiven if you do a couple of pictures in England" and that Roland cabled back, "Maybe I will"?

Three Long Cheers For Arline Judge

(Continued from page 52)

When Her Fun Began

COLLEGE life hit Arline when she was
"going on sixteen" after a compara-
tively mild childhood spent in Bridgeport,
Connecticut. At the aforementioned age,
Arline's parents entered her in the IVsuline
Academy, a finishing school in New York
City. And then the fun began.

"It was during the football season and a
schoolmate of mine knew some of the boys
at West Point who were in town to cheer on
their team against Notre Dame. I had had a
date with a nice little fellow from my home-
town to attend the big event, but two days
before the game he was stricken with the
measles and had to return home. It nearly
broke me up. Not that I cared so much for
him — but I hated to miss the game. My
girl-friend kept telling me to stop crying.
She said she would fix up a blind date with a
West Point cadet who was a friend of her
friend.

" I'll never forget the emotions of that first
blind date. Any girl who has ever had one
(and who hasn't?) knows what I'm talking
about. You set out for the meeting one
degree short of a nervous breakdown,
wondering what you are going to draw in
your Surprise Package. You harbor a
pathetic hope that the L'nseen Number will
turn out to be a cross between your favorite
movie actor and Bing Crosby, but you've a
low down hunch he will be simple-minded
and near-sighted.

"When the boys called for us the day' of
the game, 1 had to force myself to keep from
walking into the room with my eyes shut
(to ward off the blow as long as possible).
But accidents will happen, even when it
comes to blind dates. There stood my Big
Moment, the best-looking boy 1 have ever
seen. His name was, and is, Hugh Warner
Stevenson. For two years I was madly in
love with him.

And She Says She Was "True"!

WE WROTE each other daily after
that first meeting. I lost all interest
in school. I would ditch any class any time
to hop up to West Point to see my secret
sorrow. What letters we wrote! I still have
his. Wonder if he has mine?

"Though I was really true to the Army,"
laughs Arline, "I couldn't help being inter-
ested in other collegians. Once, when Hugh
and I had a little quarrel, I accepted an
invitation to a prom dance at Washington
and Lee University in Lexington, Yirginia.
It was Dick Franklin who asked me (my
mother's favorite among my beaux), but
it was Jack Thorington who nearly cut out
Hugh in my affections. What a number he
was, and what a wonderful time we had
together. Incidentally, I've had several
letters from him since the release of 'Are
These Our Children?' recalling the good
times we had together and wishing me well
in my marriage and my career."

I ask Arline if Thorington was a football
player. They are supposed to wreak so
much havoc among the fair co-eds. But she
shakes her towsled head.

"I never went in much for football
players. Most of them bend backward with
conceit — and then they can't date a girl
very much. Training and all that sort of
thing. They have to be in bed at ten
o'clock — and little Arline was usually just
getting going good at that time. I did,
however, have one week-end date at West
Point with 'Red' Cagle. He was a nice,
quiet kid — and I don't think he was par-
ticularly interested in me, or any other girl.

"You remember, it later came out that
Red had been secretly married for some
time and it caused an awful fuss when it was

discovered. ' Red ' and I spent our entire
time at the week-end dance consuming in-
numerable dishes of ice cream and trying to
stir up a little mutually interesting conversa-
tion. I never saw him after that except on
the football field. And what a player he
was !

So She Became an Actress

I GUESS I just about put the finishing
touches on my own finishing school
career, when I decided to ditch my first year
finals and go up to West Point to see my
beloved Hugh graduated. I had a whole
book of round-trip tickets to West Point —
and exactly twenty-five cents in my pocket.
It was a glorious day — Hugh looked wonder-
ful in his cadet uniform and I was so proud
of him.

"Immediately after the exercises, he had
to catch a train for home and I remember
we clung to each other on the platform,
swearing eternal devotion. I suppose I
cried — I know I felt terribly dramatic. It
was then that I made up my mind I was not
going back to school — ever. I was too upset.
I was going on the stage or something, where
I could forget our 'cruel' separation.

"Kids are funny," Arline philosophized,
"Hugh was no more than out of sight than
I began to smile at another cute cadet I
knew, Roger Moore. We chatted flirta-
tiously a couple of moments and Cadet
Moore said he was driving back to New
'S ork. He asked if I wanted to ride along in
his Ford.

"We stopped along the way and I sent my
mother a wire that I was not going back to
school and begged her not to be worried.
I told her I knew the parents of several of
the girls I had met at school and I was sure
1 could stay with one of my friends at her
home until I could get started on the stage.
Sure enough, I did make my home for a
week or two with the family of one of my
friends.

Her Mother Couldn't Object

MOTHER sent me money and wrote
that she knew I was not serious
about my schooling and that I might as well
try my luck at the stage if I thought I had
an opportunity.

"While I had been attending Ursuline
Academy, I had been taking dancing lessons
from Jack Donahue. When I put my
ambitions before him, he said he thought I
had a chance to make a go of it on the stage.
He got me a short vaudeville contract, a
two-months stock engagement, and it was
through his influence that I finally landed
back on Broadway in Ruth Selwyn's 'Nine-
Fifteen Revue.' Harry Carroll saw the
show and, when it closed, offered me a job
in his Revue. We were on the road for three
months.

"When I returned to Broadway, I did a
specialty number in 'The Second Little
Show' and I guess somebody important
from RKO must have seen, and liked, my
little number because I was offered a con-
tract to come to Hollywood.

"Yes, it makes me a little dizzy to think
how quickly things have happened to me.
Just three short years ago, I was hopping
to college proms and suffering through
schoolgirl infatuations. Wesley" (surely
you know by now that Wesley means
Arline's husband and director) "gets an
awful kick out of looking at my collection of
fraternity pins and rings and so forth. He
says I was too fickle to have been so popular.
If he had been one of the collegians he
swears he would have shot me! I'm glad I
didn't marry a collegian — as cute as they
are, they are so hol-cha!"

You, too, Arline. . . .

Confessions of a Gigolo

{Continued from -page 41)

pounds. Later he took up professional
dancing and as he was a good-looking young
chap, with a touch of Latia romance about
him, he soon heard of an opening in the
gigolo business.

Where He Met Valentino

THEY didn't call us gigolos in those
days," explains Raft. "The word was
later brought in from France. We were
known as 'dance entertainers.'

"I was a gigolo at various places in New
York, but principally Murray's, Churchill's,
and Rector's. It was a very popular thing
for unescorted women to drop in at some
fashionable place in the afternoon for tea,
or a few drinks. There was good music, and
the house furnished the dancers.

"I first met Valentino at Rector's — only
lie was known as Guglielmi then. Affairs
were conducted quite properly. The hostess
was Peggy Howard. She had charge of us.
Each of us wore a white button on the right
lapel to show that we were house dancers,
and weren't outsiders promoting around
among the women — which wasn't permitted.

"The cafi was divided off into stands,
such as waiters have. Each gigolo was sup-
posed to look after the ladies at a certain
number of tables — that is, unless there were
girls that you knew, and had danced with
before, in which case it was all right to go to
other tables and ask them to dance.

"We were paid two dollars an afternoon
by the management, so, of course, we de-
pended for our principal income on tips.
The average gigolo earned between seventy-
five and one hundred dollars a week, unless
In- was lucky and had some middle-aged
wealthy dame fall for him, in which case he
could expect much higher tips while the
crush lasted.

"Valentino took care of the tables next
to mine. He was reserved, probably because
he then had a pronounced accent. To tell
you the truth, we weren't as popular as
some of the other boys in the place. The
vogue for Latin types hadn't started yet,
and most of the women were going for the
light-haired boys. We often used to wish we
didn't have such a 'foreign' look!

He and Rudy Learned About
Women

YOU learn a lot about women, being a
gigolo. Of course, it was principally
a business with us. We were always on the
lookout for older women, as they generally
had more money and tipped us more liber-
ally for our services, and also, if they liked
us, would invite us out on parties for the
evening as their dance partners, and, of
course, that meant a good-sized piece of
change.

"We ducked the younger women when
we could, as they didn't mean much in a
financial way. About all they'd ever do
would be to fall in love and that interferes
with a gigolo's business. Some of these girls
were debutantes, some were fast-stepping
show girls, some were high-class street girls
— it was pretty hard to tell them apart.

"They were the type who wouldn't get
in until dawn, and then would get up about
noon. Having nothing to do until after
dark, they would come to Rector's or one of
the other places, eat breakfast about two,
and dance or sip their drinks the rest of the
afternoon until it was time to go home and
dress for the evening.

"Such girls usually just had pocket
money, about enough to pay their bill at
Rector's and give a small tip, and, of course,
had other engagements for the evening.
The older women were usually the ones
who were glad to have a good-looking escort

for some gay party. It was very flattering
to them, and most of them, too, were good
scouts.

"The principal worry of a gigolo is pre-
venting women from falling in love with him.
You'd be surprised, the number of girls and
women of good standing who will get a great
crush, really serious, on some professional
dancer whom they've only met a few times,
and about whom they know absolutely
nothing. You have to put a stop to it
quickly, but diplomatically, or it gets to be
an awful nuisance.

Both Had to Dodge Marriage

VALENTINO, or any of us, could have
been married a dozen times to anybody
from debutantes in the Social Register to
middle-aged heiresses who were lonely.
The women we liked best were those who
sought us out strictly because we liked to
dance. One of my favorite clients was a
woman who weighed all of two hundred and
twenty-five pounds. She used to come in
twice a week and I'd dance three or four
times with her, and she always gave me ten
dollars. Both of us knew it was worth it."

After some months Raft gave up the
gigolo business for a vaudeville offer to
dance with Joe Frisco. He developed a
famous "broken-leg" eccentric dance, and
appeared for years in night-clubs, and in
vaudeville. Then he went abroad and
danced his eccentric dance in the capitals of
Europe. Eventually he located at the
Florida Club, one of London's exclusive
spots for the night-blooming nobility.

The club was a hangout for the Prince of
Wales, who likes to dance, and it was here
that Raft taught the Prince how to do the
Charleston and the Black Bottom.

"The Prince is a pretty good scout," he
says, "and likes to play around. He also
likes to know all of the latest dances, even
if he can't dance them in public.

"This was in 1927, and the Charleston
was going strong. One afternoon the Prince
was there with a party, and asked me to
show him the steps. He was very intrigued,
and came into the club twice a week there-
after to take lessons, and seemed to get a
great kick out of it. It seemed funny to see
royalty cutting up in the steps of the
Charleston!

"Of course, I wouldn't take anything for
my services — it isn't done in England — so
the Prince presented me with a cigarette
lighter with his name engraved on it."

Was to Be Rudy's "Brother"

IT was Valentino, the gigolo, graduated to
be the world's greatest lover,, who sug-
gested Hollywood to Raft.

"I was frequently mistaken for Rudy in
night-clubs. I saw quite a bit of him during
his last visit to New York. He went to
night-clubs every' night, and was often seen
at Tex Guinan's 300 Club, and the Play-
ground, where I worked. One 'Celebrity
Night' at the Playground, Valentino was
my guest. He made me a proposition.

'"Come to Hollywood, George,' he said,
'and I'll start you in the movies. I can use
you in my next picture, playing the role of
my brother, and I'm sure with that start
you'll go over.'

"It has been said that I was to be
Valentino's stand-in and double, but this is
not true. Look at the difference in our
height! I agreed to go back to Hollywood
with him. However, he was taken to the
hospital and died a few days later, so I
gave the Hollywood idea no further
thought."

Raft is a typical product of New York, a

Chaplin's entrance into London was mag-
nificent— a perfect piece of showmanship.
A British publication remarked of it, "He
descended on London at a time when it was
not clogged with Ascot and Ranelagh, and
royal garden parties and public school and
university cricket matches and the like."
He therefore occupied the center of the stage.
And here is where romance entered. For
it was at a party that Sari Maritza, who
in Hollywood under contract to

lady of the hour.

Does a Mother-Complex Threaten
Swanson Career ?

{Co n I in tied from page 44)

Perhaps her yearning for affection has led
her into romances that never developed into
real companionships, somehow. Then, too,
Gloria, ever surrounded by a flame of excite-
ment and leading a vivid screen life, may
have found it difficult to adjust herself to the
routine of marriage.

"The only reason why I should ever think
of marrying again," she once told a friend,
"would be to have more children." Now, in
the handsome young Briton, Michael
Farmer, her fourth husband, she feels she
has found her true mate. Gloria's gorgeous
sense of humor is matched by his Irish wit;
their agile minds complement each other;
they look upon life in much the same way
and, best of all, he, too, wishes a family,
adores the ready-made one he has married,
and is jubilant over the new baby.

The Kind of Mother She Is

ALREADY, Gloria Swanson has proved
. herself the perfect mother. She has
fought to keep the children from the public
and she has never permitted a picture of
them to reach the papers. So well has she
drilled this into her daughter's mind that,
when group pictures are being taken at the
beach or at a children's party, little Gloria
1 urns her head so as to be out of the camera's
focus, or hides her face in her hands.

This is, 1 believe, the first story to tell of
the inside life of the Swanson household,
which is < iloria's own life more than all her
publicized, photographed work and play.

Gloria II, now eleven, whose father is
Herbert Somborn, Gloria Swanson's second
husband, and nine-year-old Joseph, the
adopted son. are two of the best-reared
children in Beverly Hills. Perhaps because
she missed so much in her own childhood,
Gloria is making special efforts to give them
every advantage. In her home on Crescent
Drive, set amid spacious gardens, they are
surrounded by every influence that builds
character and gives cultural background.

They are unspoiled, democratic, well-
and have charming manners — chil-
dren to be proud of. When, before going to
Europe, their mother told them about the
new baby who would be coming, both were
wild with joy and little Gloria said,
"Wouldn't it be fun to have twins!"

Neither Gloria II nor Joseph has any
desire to go into pictures. This is well, for
Gloria would never give her consent. They
may select any other career except that of
acting. On this she is very positive.

Boy Is NOT Her Child

THE little girl plays the piano beautifully,
and is studying harmony and also the
harp, showing an unusual aptitude in music
that may blossom into definite talent. Both
children love to read, especially Joseph, who
is buried in a book most of the time, sea and
adventure stories being his favorites. Other-
wise, he displays no particular talent yet,
unless it is for boats. On his last birthday,
he received a whole fleet of small sea craft
and knows the mechanism and history of
each by heart.

Naturally, Gloria Swanson has been the
target for much talk — the price of fame.
While she is never indifferent to unkind
comments, she shrinks from criticism, but
has learned to hide the hurt and keep her
head up.

She tells this story on herself. One day in
New York, soon after she adopted Joseph, a
group of friends were chatting in her dress-
ing-room when she said, "Let a woman be
talked about once and she's always talked

about. I guess the only thing I haven't been
accused of is being Joseph's mother." At
this point, Lois Wilson laughed, saying,
"Why, Gloria, don't you know that a great
many people think he is your own baby?"

While she has always said that she wished
he were, Joseph is not Gloria Swanson's
child. This is a definite assertion. She made
four pictures the year he was born, and was
at the studio nearly every day.

Soon after her divorce from Herbert
Somborn, when she thought she would never
marry again, Gloria felt that her daughter
needed a playmate and decided to adopt a
child to grow up with her own. Though very
busy at the time making pictures, she began
her search for a suitable child. Finally,
word came that a three-months-old boy,
fulfilling her strict requirements, had been
found and it was arranged for her to see the
baby.

In relating the experience, to a friend
later, Gloria said, " It was just like me not to
pick out a curly-headed cherub, but to find
Joseph — such a homely, scrawny little thing.
When he looked up at me, I felt he needed
me. It would be fun to bring him into
splendid health, to see him develop into a
fine, handsome, wonderful son! And it has
been!"

Both Children Treated Alike

GLORIA has never shown the least
partiality between the children and her
will, it is said, divides her property equally
1 ri « mi the two. Now that there is a third
child, her estate will be divided three ways.

When little Gloria was about two, Gloria
Swanson secured Miss Simonson as gover-
ness for her daughter. She is a capable,
charming, motherly woman and the children
love her devotedly. She has full charge over
them, is their constant companion, and her
word is their law. "Sime," as they affec-
tionately call her, is the dominant influence
in their lives.

Gloria is the lovely, perfumed goddess
whom the children worship. She brings to
them her sweetest side, is always cheerful,
always merry and chummy. When she is
worried or unhappy she keeps away from
them. Gloria often includes them in gay
larks, such as the time last summer, follow-
ing dinner with a few intimate friends, when
it was suddenly decided to stage an im-
promptu fashion show. Gloria II joined the
others in dolling up in her mother's choicest
finery and parading before the amused
judge, Gene Markey. After the awarding of
a flock of silly prizes, the party went to the
kitchen to make fudge and raid the refrige-
rator. Imagine the bright page this will add
to Gloria's memories! After all, children do
not treasure the sacrifices and noble deeds of
their parents as they do some bit of fun,
some happy frolic that places them all on the
same level.

Gloria and Joseph have attended the
Beverly Hills public school on Rexford
Drive, though at present they are at school
in Switzerland. Miss Simonson and Ray,
the trusted chauffeur, see that they arrive
and return safely. The children also
regularly attend Sunday School.

There is a private theatre in the Swanson
home and Gloria often secures pictures she
wishes the children to see. She makes this
an event, letting them invite their young
friends to dinner before viewing the film.
"The Millionaire" and "Skippy ' ' have been
among the chosen few. Seldom does she
permit them to see her own pictures —

Likened Him to Christ

AT the Chaplin
ontaining ittest the

enormity of his conquests socially, artisti-
cally and, incidentally, perhaps amorously
in Europe. Hut: triking thing that

they reveal is the fact that he was inter-
viewed by Emil Ludwig, the author and
biographer of "Napoleon," "Bismarck,"
etc., who compared t harlie with Christ. In
order oi world-importance and

ng men's imaginations, Ludwig listed
Christ. Chaplin and Gandhi.

Rapturously, Ludwig exclaimed, "What
is the fame of Gandhi, compared with him
who has shaken the world as only the figure
of Christ has done before him? There is
no one yet who has sustained such world-
iine, and yet remained so simple and
unaffected." 1 don't think there has ever
been a greater tribute paid to Chaplin.

What star of the films has ever gained so
much for his enterprU >t light was

continuously focused on Chaplin al
even though it dashes on him only inter-
mittently at home. He never missed a
chance to "sell" his picture to his inter-
national audience. That Charlie went to
Europe, and that he remained away so long,
for any other reason than "selling" ti
ture is gravely doubted in 1 1 oily wood, though
it is willingly granted that he is a great
"play-time Charlie." Beside him, even
Barnum was a rank amateur as a ball) hooer.
Don't fool yourself that this little come
dian doesn't know the value of publicity.
From the old, old days he has always
managed to get plenty of it.

The expedients he used in the beginning
were very simple — such as performing com-
edy stunts on the old "million-dollar rug"
(now long forgotten) at the Alexandria
Hotel, his "dallying" — that's the word he
himself once used to me to describe it —
with beauteous damosels of the movies 1 le
has always aimed to be a romantic figure,
he goes alter the "big stuff." It's
kings, queens and aces with Charlie. And
meanwhile, how the profits roll up!

Charlie found out in Europe that he could

even get along without a press-agent. So

Carlyie Robinson, who has worked in that

i y for him for many years, came home.

until it almost joins her unusual underscore.

Can Hide Her Emotions

THESE show self-confidence and assure
us that she is not afraid to tackle hard
work when its necessary to do so/ They also
tell me that she has physical vitality and
enthusiasm, so that she has no trouble in
finding a great deal of enjoyment in her
work — even though she may not show this
enjoyment on the surface. Joan would make
a good poker player, as she can keep her
thoughts to herself and not bat an eyelash if
she chooses, no matter what she may be
feeling underneath. You can see this in her
small "o's" and "a's," which are almost all
tightly closed and somewhat angular. This
is true despite her capital "D" in "Dear,"
which is a trifle open, and despite the
forward angle of her handwriting, which
shows that she is also frank and sincere and
can show her emotions easily.

All these characteristics of her hand-
writing of which 1 have spoken, taken in
conjunction with the fairly wide and even
spaces between her words, show me that she
has the ability of cool and deliberate thought
— probably unsuspected by the average
male with whom she comes in contact. Men
will be apt to judge her by her charm en-
tirely and will not expect her to have much
braininess. But in reality her mind is ac-
curate and logical, and she knows how to
enhance her real power and brilliance by dis-
playing it cautiously, rather than in a too
spectacular manner, which would scare off
people or make them envious of her.

She, herself, may not be conscious of her
reason for this cautiousness, as it is more or
less an instinctive reserve, caused by a
certain self-analysis, which makes her want
to think firstly and act secondly. Notice
that her "t" crossings are about in the
middle of the letter and not 'way up at the
top, which is where you would be apt to find
them in a handwriting so full of motion and
rhythm. Look at your own handwriting or
that of your friends and see if this is not true
in most cases. You movie addicts who have
seen her in various pictures in which she
portrays "flaming youth" may wonder at
what I am telling you, but I assure you this
is true and not a press-agent's story.

What Proves She's Moody

WITH all this caution and self-
analysis, you will find that she can be
temperamental at times, even to tantrums,
and is not always easy to handle. At such
times she is apt to forget her caution and
probably says things which she deeply re-
grets afterwards, or else bottles up these
bitter feelings until she is about ready to bite
a nail in two. Notice that there are six
different kinds of "t" crossings in this short
specimen of her handwriting, and a slight
downward pull to the word "handwriting,"
and a long, graceful dash after the word
"Rice." Yet the majority of her hand-
writing runs slightly upward. When you
find these combinations, you will always find
some moodiness, although it is not a very
dominant quality in Joan's nature.

The truth of the matter is that she is
changeable by temperament, but logical
mentally — and, this makes her somewhat
difficult for the casual observer to under-
stand. Some perfectly innocent little thing
will strike her in the wrong way, and then
come the fireworks. But her mood is apt to
go as quickly as it comes.

Fortunately, she has a sense of humor and
can laugh at many things that might make
other women cry and tear their hair. Thus
she is able to be amused by her mistakes,
when the first bitterness has worn off, and to
forget the hurt to her pride, and forgive it,
too, when it concerns herself alone. But if
you hurt anyone for whom she really cares,
watch out — for that she will never forgive
and forget, and for such people she will fight.

And that brings us to her love nature
and the intimate personal side of her
character which, after all, is just as im-
portant as the mental side and much more
interesting to some of us, I dare say. This
young woman may marry once or a dozen
times during her life — which should be long,
barring accidents, as she has excellent
physical vitality — but no man will ever
possess more of her than she chooses to give.

Yet there is plenty of affection and emo-
tion shown in her handwriting, and she can
give royally when she cares to do so. Notice
the first high stroke of her capital "M" in
"Miss," and you will see a spirit of defiance
which shows independence and dislike of
being possessed too greatly, even by those
who are first in her affections. On this ac-
count, it is easier for her to play at love than
to give herself freely and fully, and people
may think her indifferent when she is really
quite the contrary.

Be careful not to try to take anything
away from her which she feels is hers — un-
less she offers it to you first. And that applies
not only to her possessions, but to those
whom she loves, as well. She can fight for
her rights when necessary and will dislike
people who take too freely of her time or her
possessions without asking.

Her Ideal of a Husband

SHE is fond of good times and spending
money, although I would not call her
recklessly extravagant. She will not want
anything that is elaborate or fussy, as her
tastes are simple and her judgment good. I
doubt that she has much patience when it
comes to trying on dozens of gowns, if she
has to stand very long to be fitted, in spite
of her love of attractive clothes.

Her ideal of a husband is a man who is
nice-looking, but he must not be a "pretty"
man or without spunk. For she likes to be
dominated to some extent, even though she
may fight against it and be very independ-
ent. What woman doesn't? The man who
can hold her love the longest will be firm,
but not too dictatorial and "bossy," and will
understand her reserve, as well as her loving
nature.

Thus we have Joan Crawford, as shown
by her handwriting. (And handwriting tells
the truth about us all, no matter how we
may try to hide or disguise ourselves to the
world in general.) Life should always be
interesting to her, as she has so much charm
and talent and the strength to fight for what
she wants to gain. She should be careful not
to be too tensely personal in her reactions
and to use her talents along the serious, as
well as the lighter, lines of pictures. For she
has only begun to develop her real stage
personality and ability, in spite of the suc-
cess that she has already found.

Somborn and his daughter had a mournful

each other until the final moment, both
heart-broken at the parting.

From the tirst. however, both Gloria 11

solemnly advised their mother to marry
him. But up to the time they left for
Europe, they continued to address him
formally as Mr. Farmer."

They liked the Marquis de la Falaise,
their mother's third husband, and called
him "Sunny Jim." But they adored Gene
Markey, who a year ago seemed slated to
become the Marquis' successor. He played
with them, taught little <iloria new dance

ther, they were very chummy.

Now, the Marquis and Gene Markey are
brothers-in-law, having married the Ben-

wonders if they ever cast surreptitious
glances at each other when Gloria Swari-

He*d Rather Die Than Eat Meat

(Continued from page 26)

ribs of the poor creatures knifing their ribs
and flanks. So this, they thought, this is
what goes on that Man may eat his steak,
his roast beef, his veal?

On that day, then and there, Mr. and
Mrs. Arliss said, almost in unison, "We
shall never eat meat again!"

They never have. On that day they
stopped eating the flesh of animals and
never have they touched it or had it upon
their table since.

Mrs. Arliss says, quaintly, "/ shall never
eat anything I can pat." A quaint comment,
but also a poignant one. For there is some-
thing about that simple statement that car-
ries with it the implication of cannibalism.
You become aware that someone has killed
— for you to eat — a creature that once could
answer to touch and call. You are eating
a friend. To murder a living thing, whose
capacity for suffering neither you nor I can
presume to gauge — well, it's something most
of us have never thought much about.

We say, if we say or think anything about
it at all, that we need meat in order to live.
But Mr. Arliss, very much alive and sig-
nally vital and more famous than ever, after
twenty meatless years, says quietlv, "Do
we?" '

It was at first predicted by members of
his immediate family that a wasting away,
followed by an early death, would be Mr.
Arliss' meatless fate. The fact that George
Bernard Shaw, that bristling literary giant,
and Eustace Miles, the Herculean athlete,
were vegetarians did not seem to ease their
minds. And, just in the beginning, Mr.
Arliss did feel a trifle nervous, himself. He
consulted an eminent specialist. The E.S.
discovered that his patient had foresworn
meat. He said portentously, "Oh, but, my
dear fellow ..."

The Health "Risk" He Took
E MORE than implied that he really
could not be responsible for Mr. Arliss,
if Mr. Arliss did not go back to his prime
ribs. It meant, to put it bluntly, Death or
Meat. And it took Mr. Arliss, with visions
lit those prairie slaughter houses before his
mind's eye, less than an hour to decide —
on Death. That was twenty years ago.
Need I go on? In the words of the title of
his latest picture, his decision seems to have
been "A Successful Calamity."

Mr. Arliss is not a fanatic. He does not
label himself a Vegetarian. He eats eggs
and he also eats fish on occasions. He
salves his conscience on this last count by
the belief that fish do not have as much feel-
ing as the animal world. Nor would Mrs.
Arliss particularly care to pat a fish! He
admits, tolerantly and moderately, that
there are circumstances which are drastic
enough to call for the killing of certain ani-
mals. If a horde of rabbits, for instance,
invade and consume a farmer's corn-bins,
something certainly has to be done about it.
Or if a marauding, starved tiger or two in-
vite themselves into a native African village
and devour several infants, those tigers
should be put to death, of course.

No, Mr. Arliss does not mount a soap-
box and become militant. He appeals only
to the humanities. It is unnecessary death
to animals that he deplores. He quotes
William Beebe, the noted naturalist, ex-
plorer and animal "critic," who once said
that he believes a man could go to sleep in
any forest, in any part of the world, and
be unmolested. Provided that he did not,
himself, molest.

Can't Man Kill Humanely?

MR. ARLISS asks, merely — humanity.
He does ask that. He asks, very
specially, mercy in the method of killing. He

would wish that men did not kill to eat,
nor kill to adorn their women-folk with the
pelts of once-living things. He deplores the
frightful methods of the slaughter houses.
He asks if you — or you — or you have ever
seen animals being driven to their deaths.
He wants to know whether you have ever
seen, with your own eyes, the hideous knowl-
edge of impending slaughter that glares
from theirs. He says, simply, sternly, "Of
course, they know!"

He says, in discussing the right or wrong
of killing for food, that he is frequently met
with the argument that this slaughter is
what Nature intended — that all animals
prey, the one upon the other. But we — we
are above the animal kingdom. We are,
we claim, superior. We are differentiated
by intelligence and emotions. What better
way of showing this differentiation than by
NOT killing in order to eat? What valid
excuse have we left, since it has been clearly
and definitely proved by vegetarians that
man can live at least as well without meat
as with it?

Even more emphatically does Mr. Arliss
feel about the so-called scientific need for
vivisection — surgical experimentation on
other living creatures. This casual murder
and mutilation of countless animals has been
going on, he reminded me, for two or three
thousand years. Where has it led? What,
precisely, have we gained from it? What
has it proved? What is the sum total of all
this bloody pain and conscious, fearful
death? Time and again, he told me, valu-
able discoveries are claimed by vivisection
and time and again these same discoveries
are eventually admitted by the medical pro-
fession to be useless — or worse. In fact,
according to Mr. Arliss, the scientist has
found it difficult to prove that any impor-
tant discovery has ever been made through
the medium or agency of vivisection of
animals.

He's Against Vaccinations

MR. ARLISS most definitely does NOT
believe in serums and anti-toxins and
vaccines — grown in the bodies of living ani-
mals. He does not believe in shooting the
foul stuffs into healthy human organisms
on the remote chance that these healthy
organisms may, at some future date, become
infected with smallpox or diphtheria or ty-
phoid. And once you have begun, he asks,
where are you to stop? After being inocu-
lated with serums for everything from
measles to the pox, you might reasonably
expire of spinal meningitis or some other
infection of the central nervous system.

Mr. Arliss believes that generally im-
proved sanitation and hygienic conditions
are responsible for the decreases in disease
and the elimination of nationwide plagues.

He believes, this Man Who Played God,
that if animals had never been used for ex-
perimentation and that if the same amount
of time and thought and money had been
expended upon a sane study of the human
body, itself, we should be far more advanced
to-day in the knowledge of human diseases.
And even assuming that certain researches
involving vivisection have proved valuable,
Mr. Arliss denies our right to cause such
untold suffering for our own ends. Who is
to say, who even dares to say, that several
million beasts must suffer that Man may be
saved?

"We should not kill!" says George Arliss.

But if it must take Man generations more
to become sensitized to slaughter, then, at
the best and least, this very charming man
asks that we kill kindly, swiftly, mercifully,
with a minimum of suffering for those living
things who die that we — that we — well,
what?

Got His Start Like Gable

AFTER several very modest roles,
. George Brent is being introduced to
the public in support of three big women
stars, Barbara Stanwyck, with whom he
appears in "So Big," Ruth Chatterton in
"The Rich Are Always with Us" and with
Constance Bennett in a picture not yet
announced. Gable, you remember, burst
upon the public in support of Norma
Shearer, Joan Crawford and Greta Garbo!

Beyond this point their biographies
swerve. George Brent was born in Dublin,
Ireland, the son of a Dublin newspaperman
and the descendant of a long line of Irish-
men who served with the British army. His
ancestry is evidenced in his build; he is tall,
with the straight back and build of the
cavalryman.

lie attended public school and the Nation-
al University in Dublin, playing football
ami taking part in the school dramatics.
I le got his stage start at the famous Abbey
Theatre in Dublin. After a bit of vaga-
bonding, he came to America at the age of
twenty and entered upon a stage career
here via various stock companies. He has
played more than three hundred parts and
has owned six companies of his own. And
iu>t after he had finally landed on Broad-
way, his eyes (strained by his studying so
many roles) went back on him; after a
delicate operation, he was told to get out
in the open air for a few months. Like
< .able, he had had movie ambitions for a
lung time. He headed for California — ami
here he is. all set lor you to hail or argue over
in comparison to Gable.

Heyburn Even Has Cleft Chin

THE Fox company has a little Gable in
their fold in the person (and appearance)
of Weldon Heyburn, who fits all the virility
requirements in being tall, dark and even
slightly dimpled! Believe it or not, but
Heyburn (who recently broke into the
newspapers by marrying Greta Nissen) is
so much like Gable in his carriage and bear-
ing that Charlie Farrell took him to a
Hollywood party and introduced him as
"< lark ( .able." And, what's more, the folks
fell for Charlie's gag. Add to this the fact
that a well-known woman writer, crossing
the Fox lot, saw Mr. Heyburn and immedi-
ately demanded to know if Clark Gable had
been borrowed from M-G-M for a Fox pic-
ture. This should give you a fair slant of
how well Fox has succeeded in uncovering
a dimpled menace.

Like Gable and Brent, Heyburn also
came from what is rapidly developing into
a gold mine for Gables — the American stock
companies. His greatest success was in a
road tour in "What Price Glory?," in which
he played the role of Sergeant Quirt, made
famous on the screen by Edmund Lowe.
Heyburn is twenty-six, American, educated
at the University of Alabama and George
Washington University, a champion diver
and a "romantic heavy." (The Gable
touch again.) You have seen him in "The
Silent Witness," "While Paris Sleeps,"
"The Gay Caballero," "Disorderly Con-
duct" and "Careless Lady." His parts are
getting bigger and better all the time.

Bruce Cabot and Chaney's Son

RKO is doing itself proud by having two
screen candidates roughly described as
"somewhat the same type as Gable."
Bruce Cabot and Creighton Chaney, son of
the late Lon Chaney, are the lucky gentle-
men.

Considering Bruce Cabot first, we find
that, like Gable, Brent and Heyburn — yes,
he also comes from stock engagements to

the screen. His last stage engagement was
with the Goodman Theatre in Chicago — at
which time his name was Jacques de Bujac.
Though he was born in Carlsbad, New Mex-
ico, thus automatically becoming an Amer-
ican citizen, he is of French descent. He
was educated in the schools of Carlsbad,
New York and Paris. What's more, he is
the son of a wealthy New Mexico attorney
and what's even more, he is listed in the
Blue Book of Baltimore. De Bujac became
interested in the stage during his school
years, and in the movies during his final
appearances with the Goodman Stock
company. He came out to Hollywood and
talking pictures just on a chance, not a
contract, managed to get a test with RKO
and was promptly signed. Such luck can
be traced only to one thing — Bruce Cabot
(no longer Jacques de Bujac) must be
decidedly a Gable type. He gets his screen
start in "The Roadhouse Murder."

On the other hand, RKO's new pride and
joy, Creighton Chaney, manages to be a
distinctive runner-up on the other Gables in
that he has never appeared either in stock
or in the movies previous to his new con-
tract. He is a strapping, handsome boy,
whose only resemblance to Gable is in a
mutual "he-mannishness." Creighton looks
more as his father, Lon Chaney, looked ten
years ago.

At the beginning, when Creighton decided
to follow in his father's footsteps, studios
were after him with contracts, providing he
would permit himself to be billed as "Lon
Chaney, Jr." This the independent young
man refused to do. He not only reminded
them that "there was only one Lon Chaney,"
but pointed out that he wanted to succeed
on his own individual merits or not at all.
RKO was the first studio to see things his
way, and signed him to a contract. He will
be known as Creighton Chaney; the
"Lon Chaney, Jr.," idea is definitely out.
You'll get your first glimpse of him in the
Dolores Del Rio picture, "Bird of Paradise."

The studio announces that young Chaney
is not promised featured or starring roles,
but will be given ample opportunity to
demonstrate his own way as an actor. In
spite of this, however, there are rumors that
two associate producers are quietly mapping
ambitious parts for the young man in com-
ing productions, parts somewhat along the
Gable lines.

Univeral's Big Discovery

FROM over the hills at Universal, they
are calling your attention to Luis Tren-
ker, appearing with Tala Birell in "The
Doomed Battalion." Mr. Trenker is -an
Austrian, a celebrated figure both as an
actor and a producer in European film cir-
cles, and he happened to come to Hollywood
as follows:

"Uncle" Carl Laemmle was touring Eu-
rope with a weather eye turned toward
European film productions, when his atten-
tion was directed to a spectacular production
called "Mountains In Flame," dealing with
warfare in the Alps. Mr. Laemmle saw this
film, literally had his breath swept away by
the daring and magnitude of some of its
scenes, and bought the American rights to
the film. The guiding spirit behind this
thrilling production — its author, producer
and star — was Luis Trenker. So impressed
was Mr. Laemmle by his performance that
he asked him to come to America for the
English version of the picture (now called
"The Doomed Battalion"). Trenker, a
dark heavy-set man of unusually forceful
appearance, gladly accepted, and is co-
featured with Tala Birell.

His background is extremely interesting.
Though college-bred, he preferred the life

A second new he-man at Universal is

Russell Hopton — built along the Gable

lines, anJ due for Gable-si:e roles

of the gTeat outdoors and was, for years, a
tourist's guide in the Alps. During the
War, he was in command of a company
stationed in the "flaming mountains" and
it was this experience that formed the basis
of his screen story.

Several years after the War, he was en-
gaged by a foreign motion picture company
to act as their guide for the Alpine se-
quences. During the production of the film,
the director became impatient with the
leading man, who was giving a very bad
performance, and in desperation offered to
give Trenker an opportunity in the role.
He made good, became vitally interested in
the acting profession and abandoned his
tourist activities to take on a film career.
He has been outstanding in European film
circles ever since.

I'niversal has Trenker signed for only
this one production — but from what we
casually overheard on the "U" lot just the
other day, we have a hunch that he will
remain for others. The magic phrase pro-
nounced upon Mr. Trenker was none other
than this:

lie- doesn't look like Clark Gable, and
he's older — but he could play the same type
of role!"

Hopton Just Discovered

BUT Trenker isn't the only new hope at
Universal. The Laemmles also "point
with pride" to Russell Hopton, who has
ippearing before the cameras since
"Call of the Flesh," but is just being dis-
'I. lie is thirty (a year younger than
Gable), tall, with the same sort of broad he-
man smile and broad he-man shoulders.

Russell is the son ol a wealthy New York
family, whose father wanted him to become
a lawyer. Instead, he went to agricultural
School (he-mannish, even then), and when
the War came along, faked his age and
joined the Navy. After the War, he sold
Rim lor Universal, proved himself a good
salesman, and decided to turn actor.

CHOCOLATE

Ttie SYRUP that created

a MILLION-GALLON

^Appetite Of all the tempting drinks
and delightful dishes served at Rexall
Fountains, those flavored with chocolate are by
far the favorites. It's easy to understand why.

Fully $50,000 was spent in perfecting the
formula for the chocolate syrup used by these
Fountains. Many world markets were searched
for cocoa beans of proper color, flavor,
richness and cocoa-butter content. Then blend
after blend was tried, tasted and discarded —
until the most delicious one was found!

This chocolate syrup — perfected at great
expense after countless formulas had been
rejected — now has created a million-gallon
appetite. Every year, more than 100,000,000
delicious chocolate drinks flavored with this
pure syrup are served exclusively at Rexall
Fountains in Rexall Drug Stores.

Only at a Rexall Fountain can you enjoy
the $50,000 chocolate flavor. Liggett and Owl

be "Shanghai Interlude." He's headed for
some big roles — Gable-size roles.

And Don't Forget These Boys

/CONSIDERING the hullabaloo they

V j made about the discovery of Marlene

Dietrich (and rightly, too!), the boys at
Paramount are showing amazing sell-re-
straint about their newest "find," Randolph
Scott. They aren't even hinting that he's
"another Gable." For one thing, he's blond;
for another thing, he resembles Gary Cooper
more than he does Gable. He's a young
Virginian, smooth, looks like an outdoor
type, and has a smile you can't resist. And
when a connoisseur like Mrs. \ incent Astor
conies right out in public and says that
Randolph is the handsomest man in Holly-
wood, he's obviously a real "find"!

Moreover, like Gable and Brent and most
of the other big-time newcomers, he hails
from stock companies. And, after only two
minor screen roles (in "Sky Bride" and "A
Successful Calamity"), he is to be starred
in a series of outdoor, he-man stories by
Will James, famous cowboy-author, the
first of which is "Lone Cowboy." Sort of
holding back on the heavy publicity, maybe
Paramount is hoping to spring a surprise
on the public — the way Gable, himself, was
sprung. And maybe steal some of the Gable
thunder. Time will tell!

And then, of course, don't forget Johnny
YVeissmuller — who proved, in "Tarzan, the
Ape Man," that he has the greatest phy-
sique in the movies, and also proved himself
an actor. After a personal appearance tour,
he will be back in Hollywood to make a
sequel to the picture.

Heaven forbid such a thing! — but if, by
any chance, something should suddenly cut
short or interrupt the blazing Gable career,
even his own studio, M-G-.M, thus has "an-
other Gable" right on hand!

Locking Them Over

representatives. Probably Joan remembered
all the criticism that attended Connie's
wedding when the press boys stood outside
the house in the cold. The younger Bennett
didn't repeat on that error. The "represen-
tatives" almost outnumbered the guests.

The wedding took place at the Town
House and a small army of people had col-
lected outside to see what there was to be
seen. Constance Bennett and Marion
Davies got enormous "hands" as they
dashed through the crowd and, later on,
both Joan and Connie tossed their bouquets
down to the onlookers.

Joan wore a white suit trimmed in white
fox (in honor of her studio?), with a small
white velvet turban. Her bouquet was of
white orchids and lilies of the valley.

YEP, they keep coming, those "inside"
stories on "Grand Hotel" — even though
the picture is now released. Here is another
to add to your long list:

Before John Barrymore started to work
on the picture, and before he had met Garbo,
he had his mind pretty well made up that
he wasn't going to like her. He had a
hunch Greta would be "backing him up"
into the camera so that only his neck
would show, and performing any number of
other professional tricks — all to the dis-
advantage of Mr. John Barrymore. The
first day of shooting, he marched out on the
set in a highly belligerent manner, a sort of
I-dare-you-to-get-fresh-with-me-rvehnown-all-
the-tricks-before-you- ever - heard-of- a - camera
attitude.

He looked about the set . . . and there
was no Garbo. "Humph," he thought,
"late!"

JUNE COLLYER and Mary Brian have

when they were both in New York, they
saw a great deal of one another.

There was a time when June and Mary
weren't so clubby. That was back in the
old days when Buddy Rogers was America's
Beau and Buddy just couldn't seem to make
up his mind whom he was beau-ing . . .June
or Mary. The girls seemed to have some
little difficulty recognizing each other when
they passed on the Paramount lot.

But what with June very much settled
down as \hx Stuart Erwin and Mary
romantically interested in Ken Murray (with
whom she has been appearing in vaudeville),
there is no reason why the girls shouldn't be
friends — and they are. Wonder if it's true
that they attended an afternoon perform-
ance of Buddy's show ("Hot-Cha!") together
while they were in New York?

FAT

Does Go
In This

Easy Way

Millions of people, the world over, have
learned in late years the right way to keep
slender. To gain new beauty, youth and
vigor. You see that everywhere. Excess
fat and sluggish vim are nowhere near so
common as they were.

The great reason is this: Modern medi-
cal science has discovered a great cause of
excess lat. It lies in a scanty gland secre-
tion. Food which should create fuel and
energy goes to excess fat.

Now doctors, the world over, supply
that lacking factor. And note how condi-
tions have changed.

This right method is embodied in Mar-
mola prescription tablets. A medical lab-
orntOTy, famous the world over, prepares
them for this purpose. They supply this
right method at small cost, in right form.

Marmola has been used for 24 years —
millions of boxes of it. It stands today, as
always, the chief help in reduction. Now
there are multitudes of people to testify
what Marmola has done for them.

If your figure is abnormal, if your vim
has decreased, go get Marmola. All drug-
gists supply it at $1 a box. A book in each
box gives the formula and explains the
amazing results. Do what others have
done — get the results they won. Don't
wait longer — don't stav over-fat.

The Trials of a Hollywood Ex- Wife

(Continued from page 25)

living by teaching hopeful youngsters to
move and speak correctly, as she had once
taught Clark. (That was how they met.)
One of the best dramatic coaches in Holly-
wood, she did not have the money to ad-
vertise or move into an imposing "studio."
She asked no help from anyone. For two
years she had- not seen, or heard from, her
ex-husband.

Josephine Dillon, herself, is a graduate of
Stanford University, and reflects culture and
good breeding. But she was a woman alone
and poor and therefore (thought the sensa-
tion-gatherers) easily dealt with. The
studio biography of Clark Gable made dull
reading; the man himself, though pleasant
and charming, was "bad copy." So the sob
sisters, the headline-hunters, the corres-
pondents for the sensation syndicates set
out to get "the lowdown " about Clark
Gable from his ex-wife.

They got exactly nothing.

Tried to Play on Her Emotions

THE story of Josephine Dillon's persecu-
tion by yellow journalism is almost
incredible. In a civilized community, with
policemen pacing the Boulevard not a hun-
dred feet away, she was threatened and
browbeaten, terrified and insulted. In her
inexperience, she trustingly admitted these
wolves in writers' clothing into her plain,
prim, clean little living room. But her
gentle answers to their questions, her mild
little reminiscences of hours of hard work
with Clark Gable, and her generous praise
of him were not what they were looking for,
not what they wanted.

They tried devious and diabolically clever
ways to get their stories. Some of them — of
the feminine gender — sympathized with her
disarmingly, a process known as "taking
down their back hair." Others tried to trap
her into statements that would lend sensa-
tional color to their articles. One seasoned
newspaper man, who had exhausted every
trick in his repertoire to get her to reveal
some of the secrets of her married life, de-
cided to arouse her anger against Clark.
He whirled on her suddenly.

"Look at yourself!" he shouted. "A
poor, miserable woman, living in this
wretched shack, while he has a fine apart-
ment! Look at your shabby clothes! Look
at your shoes!" He pointed a scornful
finger. "How do you feel when he rides by
in a limousine? Why, I'll bet you haven't
the price of a square meal in the house this
minute!"

But for all her quiet voice and ladylike
ways, Josephine Dillon is a clever woman.
"Oh, I'm not so poor I can't buy a ticket to
see a Clark Gable picture!" she answered,
smiling.

Mostly, however, they tried bullying.
They threatened her. They told her that
they would find ways to take away her
pupils, unless she gave them "hot" stories.
When she said with dignity that she had no
complaints to make against Mr. Gable, that
she had only kind things to say of him,
praise for his persistence and determination
to succeed, and admiration for his work on
the screen, one man sneered in her face.

How She Was Threatened
"T ISTEX, you can't tamper with a re-

J_^ porter this way!" he snarled. "You
can't make a fool of me! You know you
weren't his first wife, don't you? Why
don't you admit it? Who was his first wife?
Where is she now? Tell me, do you hear
me?"

"I know only one thing," she answered.
"I was Clark Gable's wife."

His face was actually red with anger.

"If you don't talk, you are going to be
sorry! Has he a son? The public wants to
hear everything about Gable. Give me
something worth reading — has he a son?"

She stood her ground. "AH I can tell
you," she said, "is that I have never had a
son."

As he left, baffled, he shouted back at her,
"You'll be sorry for holding out on me.
Read my article and see how I am going to
treat you. Maybe next time you'll talk."
When, several weeks later, she did read the
article he had written, she discovered that
he had made damaging insinuations about
her teaching ability — so damaging that she
lost several pupils on account of it.

A woman who had been a lifelong friend
and had known her during her six years of
marriage called her up one day and asked
permission to write an article about her
methods of voice training, signing her name
to it. Unsuspectingly, she consented, and
thought no more about it, until a month or
two later the same woman came to see her.

"The magazine wouldn't take the article."
she told her. "They said it was too
dangerous."

"Dangerous!" said Josephine, shocked.
"Why, what do you mean? What did you
write? You told me it was to be about my
teaching methods."

" Yes, of course I did," admitted her
friend, coolly. "But they wanted inside
gossip about your marriage, and / needed
the money — "

Had to Ask Studio's Help

WITHOUT friends to trust, without
protection, or money to hire lawyers,
she at last turned for help to the studio
where Clark Gable was working.

"There was a writer for a newspaper
syndicate who came to me," she relates.
" He didn't ask for a story. He had a story
already — had obtained it in New York.
All he wanted was for me to admit that his
story was true. I denied it, over and over.
He was so violent that I was terrified. He
went away, and came back the next evening
— late. I told him again that his story
wasn't true. Finally, he looked at me.
'Miss Dillon', he asked, 'your father was a
lawyer, wasn't he?' I said, 'Yes.' He looked
at me bitterly and said, 'I thought so.
Because you are the most artful dodger I've
ever met. But how long do you think you
can get away with it?'

"After he had left, I couldn't sleep. The
next day, I went to the studio and told
them they must protect me. I told them
that I had never said anything unkind
about Clark and that I never intended to do
so. But I couldn't stand this persecution
any longer. Since then they have dealt
with the people who came to interview me."

But even this plan did not spare her.

In the March 12 issue of a national weekly
appeared a purported "close-up" of Clark
Gable by a writer of some reputation. In it
were cruel references to Josephine Dillon.
Her ability as a stage teacher was subtly,
cuttingly doubted. "You probably remem-
ber your elocution teacher in high school,"
the author sneered. Fun was poked at her
methods, and credit for Clark's training was
flatly denied her in these words: " If anyone
made Clark Gable a good actor, it wasn't
Josephine Dillon."

Josephine's Costly "Mistake"

THOUSANDS read this, but none knew
of the telephone conversation that pre-
ceded it. One evening the writer of that
"close-up" called Josephine Dillon on the
telephone and asked for her story of Clark
Gable.

Wouldn't Talk About Boris

PAULINE KARLOFF'S story of persecu-
tion by the prying yellow press is very
similar to Josephine Dillon's. Ever since
"Frankenstein" was released, she has been
besieged by sensation-mongers, on the trail
of a startling story of her life as Mrs.
Karloff (or, to be entirely correct, as Mrs.
William Henry Pratt). She, too, had an
intimate friend come to her and beg her for
a story. When she refused to give her one,
the friend became defiant.

"After all, I've got enough already to
make a good article," she said. "You know
the things you've told me. And you know
how hard up I am!"

"I'm hard up, too," said Pauline, "but
not hard up enough for that. If you dare
to print one word I've ever told you, I'll sue
you for libel!"

Ever since her divorce from Karloff three
years ago, his ex-wife has supported herself
precariously by painting charming ami
fantastic women in the modern manner and
renting her pictures to studios for modern-
istic settings in films. There have been
times — she laughs a little mirthlessly —
when she literally did not know where her
next meal was coining from. But when one
of the largest Sunday newspapers in the
country recently offered her five hundred
dollars, and then increased the offer to one
thousand, for a personally signed story
about Boris Karloff, she refused.

"As an artist, i wish success to a fellow
artist," she says. " lint why must they drag
me into thi-.' I have been out of his life- for
three years. When we meet on the Boule-
vard, we don't speak."

Karloff had lived in I loll'.
twenty years before his ghastly, unforget tal lie
characterization ol the Monster in "Frank-
enstein " aroused any public curiosity about
him. And yet so CO tely are the strug-

gling unknowns submerged and lost in
Hollywood's teeming life that there an
who know what manner of man hi- .
those years of struggle. Mis ex-wife
perhaps, die only one who really knew.
So she is being threatened, persecuted by
sensation-hunters — who are trying to make
her tell.

Sudden success on the screen may mean
caviar and pheasant for the tables of the
new stars, but it often means taking tie
bread away from their genei iu e:
Who refuse l" tell. Josephine Dillon Gable
and Pauline Karloff will tell anybody THIS!

Our Hollywood Neighbors

(Continued from page 12)

HO-HUM, you should be glad you're not
a movie star. Just look at all the
trouble Joan Crawford had during the mak-
ing of ' 'Letty Lynton." One of her evening
dresses was so tight across the er-ah,
equator, that she couldn't sit down at all.
Some special contraption had to be de-
signed, called ''the reclining board." Joan
just leaned against it, and it could be
lowered half way to the floor. It didn't look
comfortable and it wasn't.

DURING the same picture Joan's dress-
ing room bungalow figured in a most
amazing disappearing act. The floors of one
of the M-G-M stages can be lowered to the
basement, and, one day, the lowering proc-
ess was used rather unexpectedly. Down
went the floor, Joan's bungalow, her per-
sonal maid and all.

Probably Joan would still be looking for
the bungalow, a gift from Doug Jr., but it
happened that the maid had good lungs.

No wonder that Joan announced that she
was going away for a two weeks vacation after
that picture was completed. She needed a
rest.

THE best economy story of the month
concerns the independent producer, try-
ing to make pictures on a very slim shoe-
string of credit. A stuttering comedian had
been engaged for a role, and all seemed to be
going well until the executive walked on the
set. He watched the antics of the stutterer
for a very short time, and then he began to

' 'Stop," he yelled to the director. ' 'Have
that comic play his role straight. The
stuttering uses too much film."

NO DOUBT about it— the one thing
] lullywood doesn't want is privacy.
< If course that was all nicely proved long
ago when Malibu Beach became the favorite
summering place for the stars. Additional
proof is furnished in the report that the far-
famed Embassy Club will close.

It was all to be very high flown, very
exclusive and awfully swanky, this club.
Only members could lunch and dine there.
It started well. The stars flocked there at
first, and the tables were always filled.
Then it became apparent that something
was lacking. What was it? Ah, yes, there
were no admiring visitors from Dubuque,
and no one came up and requested auto-
graphs. Attendance began to drop off, and
the Embassy-ites began to show up at the
Brown Derby, open to anyone who had
the price of a luncheon.

The Derby is now the current hot spot
along the Hollywood rialto. It's crowded
with fame every noontime, and if you're
lucky you can step on George Bancroft's
pet corn, and get a good close-up of Loretta
Young.

But is it private and exclusb-e? A secret
whispered at one table circles the cafe in
less time than it takes Doug Fairbanks, the
elder, to jump over a grand piano.

ALTHOUGH it is an old story now, the
ilAnn Harding and Harry Bannister
announcement that a divorce was in the
offing proved to be the biggest bombshell of
the year. Everyone was stunned. Those
two had been regarded as the screen's most
ideally happy married couple. After the
first excitement had died down a bit, it was
very amusing to see the good folk, who
can't bear to be left out of it, trying to ex-
plain that they knew it all along.

The Boulevard gossips will forgive Harry
and Ann for getting a divorce, but never,
never for denying them the privilege of a lot
of preliminary scandal-mongering.

From the brilliant and stately era
of John Drew down to the present
scintillatina and brittle period of
Noel Coward the leajina actors,
playwriolds and novelists have
always felt the lure of Tub
Algonquin.

The Players

and the

Christmas Dinner

This story sounds as if O. Henry made it up
but it happens to be true. A struggling
young couple of players came to stay at
The Algonquin. They were "resting" at
the time and paying their room rent was a
major test in economics. Dallying with
The Algonquin menus was out of the
question. They were compelled to import
their daily quota of calories from neighbor-
ing delicatessens. By this kind of dietetics
they were able to pay their rent, preserve
their lithe figures and keep their heads up.
On Christmas Eve the plucky couple jour-
neyed forth for the usual sliced ham, rye
bread and pickles. When they had guiltily
smuggled this feast to their room they
'phoned for a pot of coffee. After the ban-
quet was over they sent for the check. The
knock came. The waiter entered.

"The check, please," said the husband
airily,

"Check?" echoed the waiter. "There is
no check. Don't you know that Mr. Case
plays host to everyone in the hotel on
Christmas Eve? You ought to see the
dinner some of the guests are eating to-
night."

Tub Algonquin is situated at
59 Went 44Ui St., midway
between Gt.h Ave-, and Times
Square.

LOVE CHARM

Prf PERFUME

Jrerfume brings pe-
culiar and subtle psychological reactions on the
human emotions. The enchantresses of old —
Cleopatra —Du Barry — understood this magic
power. Stars of screenland are inspired by real-
istic odeurs. Certainly a man's idea of a woman's
charm may easily be changed with the proper
perfume. That Love Charm is such we ask you to
prove to yourself. Send lCc for sample vial. Love

Looking Them Over

{Continued from page 77)

THE premiere of "The Wet Parade"
began like all other "first nights" at
Grauman's Chinese Theatre. There were
motor cars, searchlights, beautiful women
in beautiful clothes, and the usual en-
thusiastic crowd.

But at the intermission the festivities
took on the form of a public debating
society. The pro and con arguments about
this picture swept the audience into a frenzy
of praise or stark criticism that exploded
orally at intermission. Sid Grauman had
erected a small bar in the courtyard where
cheese and near beer were being dished out
to the throats made dry by argument.

Saw Marlene Dietrich in the milling
crowd, looking startlingly beautiful in a
white evening wrap trimmed with white fox.
She was talking enthusiastically to an un-
known gentleman — but Josef von Sternberg
was not far away.

Fay Wray looked like a modern Juliet
with a small sequin cap of blue making an
effective contrast to her long auburn bob.

Maureen O'Sullivan was with Russell
Gleason.

Billy Bakewell escorted Polly Ann Young,
pretty sister of Loretta.

CONNIE BENNETT has been having
fun going to the dentist's. That's
almost a believe-it-or-not-note for Ripley.

But it just happens that when Connie is
at the dentist's, she is never bothered by
studio or telephone calls. After her pesky
wisdom tooth is treated, Connie sits in the
reception room, snatching a few moments of
rest by looking through the magazines and
enjoying an uninterrupted moment or two.
Connie says she will almost be sorry when
her tooth is well.

DOUGLAS FAIRBANKS, Jr., gave Joan
Crawford a beautiful diamond pin for
a birthday present. It is a very gorgeous
affair and Joan is crazy about it — but it is a
lot of worry. She's always putting it down
somewhere and forgetting to pick it up
again.

The other day she left it on top of her
make-up kit while she stepped before the
cameras to do a scene. When she came back,
the pin wasn't there. Joan was nearly
frantic. All work was knocked off while the
company searched.

Finally it was discovered that the pin had
been returned to the "prop" department.
One of the boys on the set had been in-
structed to return all the "fake" jewelry on
the set to the studio wardrobe department.
He had mistaken Joan's real pin for one she
had been using in the picture.

Yes, they found it — and now Joan is very,
very careful.

THE big social event of the month was
not the biggest party, or even the most
be-lighted "first night." Xo, it seems that
Aimee Semple McPherson Hutton and
Walter Huston staged a debate in Aimee's
temple on the subject of prohibition — 4 '•nee
taking the pro side and Walter Uil con.
Question: "Is Prohibition A Success?"

Almost all the stars from the M-G-M lot
turned out in a body. Some evil-minded
newspaper men thought the debate was a
publicity gag in conjunction with the current
"Wet Parade" — but publicity gag, or not,
the event attracted a stunning crowd.

Clark Gable and Bob Montgomery and
Wally Beery seemed to be having the time of
their lives. The audience voted dry. Which
proves, say some, that the persuasive Aimee
ought to be in the movies.

marvelous duty in the water, too. That's because they
are designed to fit your head snugly and to prevent even
the smallest wave from working mischief with your hair.

several Swim-Kaps when you see all the other styles
from fashionable Miami and the Riviera. You can have
them too, for Swim-Kaps cost surprisingly little. Never
more than SI. 00: as low as 10 cents!

GARBO-

Her Story

From Beginning

To End

In this issue, you will read one
of the most fascinating Garbo
stories of all — the story of how
she has crashed into the head-
lines ever since that day in July,
1925, when she first arrived in
Hollywood, awkward and un-
known. She has done few
sensational things — yet she has
attracted more headlines than
any two other stars!

You will read not only what
Garbo's life has been like, what
pictures she has made, and what
"romances" and battles she has
had, but also of the legends that
have been built around her — by
HEADLINES.

Hollywood suspects that Garbo
has never really intended to
return to Sweden to stay — and
this story reveals how many
times, before this, it has been
rumored she would end her
career!

Between Ourselves

JOHN BARRYMORE at last has his wish— a boy. But this
time, before the baby arrived, John was superstitious. When
Dolores Ethel Mae was born, he stated that he was hoping for
an heir. This time, however, when reporters asked him if he
wanted a boy, he replied, "Oh, I don't mind if it's a girl. We're
going to have lots of boys !"

still likely to give Clark Gable an awful run, will play the prin-
cipal role. And the second story is the one that is bringing Paul
Muni back to Hollywood. (Why can't they keep that lad there,
anyway?) It is "I Am a Fugitive from a Georgia Chain Gang."
They're going to have a job, getting that one in electric lights.
I'm only hoping they don't shorten it to "Chain Gangster."

SPEAKING about happy events, you'll find a story back on
page 22 about Margaret Livingston and Paul Whiteman and
how he has reduced under her tutelage. And in this story, Mar-
garet coyly scoffs at the suggestion that she and Paul are re-
hearsing Mother Goose rhymes. Wonder if Margaret's super-
stitious, too? For a friend of hers tells us that Santa Claus may

leave an heir at the

le of the \\ hiteman's this vear.

AND speaking about the Barrymores, John is about to play
J~\ with Lionel again. More than that — he's also going to
play, in the same picture, with their sister, Ethel (sometimes
called "The Grand Duchess of Broadway"). That's a lot of
Barrymore for one picture. 1 he film is going to be " Rasputin,"
based on the life of Russia's "mad monk." who, it is said, was
murdered because he was trying to rule the Russias through the
Czarina, whose religious counselor he was. Sounds like a role
made to order for Lionel.

IF I hear aright, the detectives guarding Marlene Dietrich and
her little girl carry sub-machine guns. Some of the natives
see irony in the appearance of such weapons on the streets of
Hollywood, which has made the world conscious of such weapons,
through a hundred gangster pictures.

JOAN BENNETT is thinking of changing her name to Jonah
Bennett. Not more than a few months had passed since her
recovery from a serious hip injury, when she turned her ankle,
going down some steps — and the doctor ordered crutches again.
Once more her career is temporarily halted.

ALL the producers are getting big-hearted — loaning their big
L stars to other studios. (They used to guard their stars
jealously.) Joan Crawford has gone from M-G-M to United
Artists for "Rain." And Billie Dove has been loaned vice versa
to play with Marion Davies in "Good Time Girl." Clark Gable
is at Paramount to co-star with Miriam Hopkins in "No Bed of
Her Own," and in exchange Paramount is loaning Fredric
March to M-G-M to play opposite Norma Shearer in "Smilin'
Through." Paramount is borrowing Barbara Stanwyck from
Columbia for " Riddle Me This," with Edmund Lowe and Victor
McLaglen. M-G-M is borrowing Helen Twelvetrees from RKO
for "Without Shame," before she temporarily "retires" to
await a visit from the long-legged bird.

THIS last story, "Without Shame," shows how the studios
are watching the newspapers for their scenario plots these
days. It is based on an actual case which happened in Philadel-
phia a few months ago. The brother of a young society girl
killed her fiance — and the girl took the stand against her brother.
About the only sensational case of recent months that hasn't
broken into the movies is the Lindbergh case. And it is rumored
that one company has complete newsreel files of that case, just
in case the Powers That Be ever decide the whole story can be
told on the screen. The Powers have so far suppressed it. Mark
up another one for the Hays office, Oscar!

IF the Democrats get into the White House next March, the
movie star you'll see there most often is Will Rogers. New
which way are you going to vote?

ANOTHER Joan — Joan Blondell — has been having difficul-
ties of a different sort. Blondie, as perhaps you didn't
know, is naturally a brunette, with chestnut brown tresses.
Tired of the blondeness she had acquired, Joan decided to
change back. But something went wrong. The dye turned her
hair that deep purple you see on the shady sides of hills at sun-
down. Joan had it trimmed almost to her scalp, and ordered a
wig. But you'll see her with her own hair again very shortly.

CLOSING her play in Chicago and being served with papers
in an alienation-of-atfections suit by her husband's former
wife, Helen Haves ami Charles MacArthur sailed for a vacation
in Europe. On their return. Helen will rush to Hollywood to be
the heroine in "A Farewell to Arms,'' opposite Gar}' Cooper,
who looked up the locale of the story on his recent trip abroad.
And then she is likely to make "The Barretts of Wimpole Street,"
the play about Elizabeth Barrett and Robert Browning, which
Katharine Cornell did on the stage. Katharine wouldn't do it
for the movies. Now that Helen Hayes and Ethel Barrymore
and Lynn Fontanne have all succumbed to the call of Hollywood,
Katharine looks a bit silly in her refusal to face the cameras.

AN independent producer had what he thought was a brilliant
L idea. lie had noted several girls about town who looked
enough like Gatbo to be her doubles. It was his idea to make a
picture, kidding the one Garbo, and hinting that life was just a
bowl of Garbos, or something of the sort. But the Hays office
i. to which movie scripts have to be submitted) sat on the idea.
Mark up one for the Hays office, before I forget it!

A COUPLE of interesting screen stories that are coming along
are two ctiminal themes. One is "20,000 \ ears in Sing
Sing" (a great title), based on the recent autobiography of
Warden Lewis E. Lawes of Sing Sing. George Brent, who's

II may please you to hear that Lilian Harvey, the Garboesque,
light-hearted, singing heroine of the German-made picture,
"Congress Dances," has been signed by Fox, and will arrive on
this side in the autumn to play in the novel Noel Coward
musical, " Hitter Sweet." This girl has an unusual history. Born
in England and raised in England, she has made herself famous
exclusively in German pictures. When she arrives, she may give
Jeanette MacDonald some competition. Jeanette hasn't had
any since Grace Moore went back to New York.

DID you see the D. \\ . Griffith sermon about Prohibition,
"The Struggle"? If so, did you happen to notice the hero-
ine? Her name was Zita Johann, and she is one of Broadway's
most dynamic personalities. She is now making her second pic-
ture— "Tiger Shark," with Edward G. Robinson and Richard
Arlen. If it gives her a chance, she'll be dramatic and well worth
watching. She's as unusual along tragedy lines, as Lyda Roberti
is along comedy lines. And is likely to go just as far.

WHEN Darryl Zanuck, production manager of Warner
Brothers, went abroad to show George Arliss some scripts
and have him pick his next story, Hollywood thought it a bit
unusual. Stars usually go to producers, not vice versa. But
Senor Zanuck had something up his sleeve. He looked up Emil
Jannings, after seeing George Arliss and George's restful country
place. And, sure enough, there's a rumor again that Jannings
will soon be back in Hollywood. But I'll have to see him before
/ believe it.

Let Her Go On Being Herself

LET me record some paragraphs of en-
_/ thusiastic praise, and a word or two of
caution, in connection with the young lady
whom I hereby nominate to succeed in a
few years to Garbo's exalted position. I
mean none other than the dark-haired
sensation, Ann Dvorak.

Ladies and gentlemen, here is a girl who is
different. Surfeited with pseudo-sophisti-
cates, anemic blondes, the Inscrutable
Swede, and the drahmahtic Crawford, I hail
the advent of Miss Dvorak with delight. It
seems that this girl has everything necessary
to carry her to the heights — definite and in-
tense ability, beauty of face and form, a
flexible, pleasing voice, and an atmosphere
of Individuality. Right here is where my
few words of admonition come in.

Please, Miss Dvorak, and pul-lease, Miss
Dvorak's bosses, don't let's have any imita-
tions of Shearer or Crawford or Garbo or
anyone. Ann Dvorak is gorgeous and pulse-
stirring as Ann Dvorak. Let her stay that
way. And for the love of heaven, let her
st. iv brunette.

Leslie's A Born Actor

WHEN Leslie Howard appeared in
"Devotion," with Ann Harding, I
sat_back in my seat and fairly purred. Here
was an answer to the movie fan's prayer.
Who else could have changed a trite story
with a time-worn plot into an intriguing
little love story? In his love making there is
a certain subtlety that is refreshing; it isn't
all a handful of honey or a flash of blue
flame, but a clever combination of the two.
A witty remark is made with perhaps just
the quirk of an eyebrow or a twinkle of
humor deep in the eyes. Leslie Howard has
enough of a sincere sense of humor to re-
frain from hanging a placard around his neck
which reads "I am being funny — please
laugh." Neither is he all perfect profile and
dimples. He is a born actor with a pleasing
voice and a winning smile and the natural
charm of a born gentleman. Oh, Mr.
Producer, now that he has returned to the
screen, don't let Leslie

Howard slip through

your fingers again be-
fore we've seen the
heights he can reach
with a real part in a
real picture.

newsreels! Have you ever noticed the
human interest, the drama, there can be
in a few brief flashes speeding across the
screen? Have you seen the tragedy, the
comedy, the beauty, the squalor, the cour-
age, the terror, the wonder, and world-weari-
ness caught by the camera in those tran-
sient scenes of real life?

Flashes of the recent war in China re-
vealed aspects of the situation there that the
newspaper stories simply could not ap-
proach, in poignancy especially, if they used
all the words in the dictionary. They
brought the actual horror and danger of war
almost into your own back yard!

Feature pictures are disappointing some-
times, but the newsreels, and their sisters,
the travel shorts, never have failed me yet.

So here's to those modern magic carpets,
hitherto unhonored and unsung, that are
carrying us 'round and 'round the world on
more exciting adventures than any Arabian
genii ever provided!

A Superb Production

IT has been a month, perhaps longer, since
I've had the pleasure of seeing "Alias
the Doctor," starring Richard Barthelmess
and Marian Marsh, and yet the memory of
that unpretentious, plain and simple, but
cleverly presented story, lingers on like the
scent of a rare perfume. One of the last
scenes has stamped that production as one
of the finest of the current year.

The "supposed" medic, having succeeded
in obtaining permission to operate on his
"adopted" mother, proceeds to do so. The
"operating" scene follows: a scene as un-
usual as it is gripping. In contradistinction
to the previous scene, words are at a
premium — the onlooking doctors are the
only ones to speak, and that is brief and
hardly above a whisper. The prevailing
silence creates an atmosphere of deep sus-
pense . . . impending danger . . . eager an-
ticipation . . . hopeful expectation. It is
tense . . . gripping . . . stirring. The death-
like silence is broken only by the heavy
breathing of the patient . . . dull . . . harsh
. . . monotonous. The operation continues,
the medic manipulating the shining in-
struments with dexterity.

The scene runs the gamut of emotions,
and yet, not a word is spoken. Here is acting
well done; here is atmosphere that is real;
here is directing that is artistic, capable and
efficient. A scene that has few rivals; it is
human . . . touching . . .sincere . . . throbbing
with life . . . succeeding in its purpose . . .
holding the attention
of the audience until
the very end.

"We never discussed the picture business much at home and I never thought
of going in it until after father died. I guess we thought one actor in the family
was enough," sa\7s Creighton Chaney. Lon's son. who broke into headlines when
he refused to cash in on his father's fame by taking the name of Lon, Jr.

"I don't know whether my ideas on picture work agree with Dad's or not.
You see. I was brought up not to disagree with him." he adds.

A clean-cut college boy type, with an athletic build, Creighton says he
"wrestles, plays golf, tennis, rides horseback, and plays handball. I like all of
them.

"I learned a lesson from golf. I started out to play without taking any lessons
— being such a big ox, I expected to hit the ball as far as anyone. I did well at
first and then got into a rut and couldn't improve.

"Now I know every beginner should start in with an
open mind and take all the advice he can get — that's
what I want to do in pictures. I'm going to be a success
■ — -even if it's only as a prop boy!"

Very he-man as to his ideas on girls. Creighton says.
"A girl should be a pal — be able to do whatever you can
— maybe not so well. A charming hostess — and conver-
sationalist— and also know when to keep quiet. .And a
good loser."

A large order, perhaps — but Creighton's six feet two
inches tall and seems destined for success. Already
they've compared him to Gable. And the girls around
town are practising up on their sports!

"I haven't found Hollywood to be at all like the place
we pictured in 'Once in a Lifetime'," says .Aline Mac-
Mahon, who played the wisecracking voice teacher in
the clever play which poked fun at the movie capital.
"Studios are just as efficient and businesslike as facto-
ries. They even check up on the number of hair nets I
use!

".Although I have played in 'Five-Star Final' and
'The Mouthpiece1 for Warners, I haven't signed a con-
tract. You see, I like to go back to New York between
pictures to visit my husband. Clarence Stein.

'"Now that they are going to make 'Once in a Life- AHb

time' as a talking picture, I'd love to do my former
role." she adds. And she will play it.

Her voice is low and soft, very different in type from the biting sarcastic voice
you hear on the screen. She has blue eyes, brown hair, and a gentle, but rather
determined manner.

Asked by the studio to rill in a publicity sheet and answer the question, "What
do you think of domesticity?" she answered. "It's a good life. I think of it
often."

As for other hobbies, she says, "Outdoor sports? ... I like to ride on the tops
of buses . . . and play bridge . . . and collect old china and Oriental jewelry . . .
and read biographies and Ernest Hemingway and Colette ... I don't cook . . .
I haven't any pets ... I like to paint in my spare time . . . and my present
ambition — well — I'd like to go on being a good actress!"

GOINGS-ON AMONG THE PLAYERS

By MARQUIS BUSBY

CECIL B. DeMILLE, the fella that put sex appeal in
the American bathrooms, is returning to t lit- direc-
torial held after a lout', long vacation. For Ins comeback
production he has selected a play with "a message" to the

world, which seems to me to be taking in a lot of territory.
It's "The Sign of the Cross." all about the ha-cha-cha
doings in ancient Rome when Nero invited the boys and
girls over for a good, snappy orgy.

C. B. seems to think that Rome
of that day was not unlike the
world of to-day. In other words, we
are riding for a fall, and if we

After a hot, dirty train ride

TAKE A BATH FROM THE BOTTLE

REFRESHES . . COOLS . . DEODORIZES

Tuck a bottle of Listerine in your haiul
bag when you travel. You'll be glad you
did before the trip is over. With no otber
aid than Listerine, vou can be fresh,
dainty, and clean. Here are a few of
Listerine's good points.

When you are hot and dusty, and a
bath isn't convenient on the train, or
can't be had at a crowded hotel, a rub-
down with Listerine is the next best
tiling. It cleanses the skin, relaxes tired
muscles, and refreshes you surprisingly.
And, best of all, removes perspiration
and other body odors. Listerine in-
stantly gets rid of odors that ordinary
antiseptics cannot hide in 12 hours.

Other toilet uses

Diluted three to one with water, Lister-
ine makes an excellent eve wash.

A little of it used in connection with
the shampoo cools and cleanses the scalp,
and "sets" the hair.

Makes breath sweet

Employed as a mouth wash, Listerine
cleanses the mouth, gets rid of unpleas-
ant taste, and leaves your breath sweet
and wholesome. It is the sure remedy
for halitosis (unpleasant breath).

Lastly, should an accident occur while
traveling, Listerine used full strength
will combat infection until you can get
medical attention. Because Listerine,
while safe and pleasant to use, kills
germs in the fastest time.

Every blonde sen?
is supposed to h 3
love-life — but Bette
wishes people would
get hers straight. So
we asked her to tell
the story, herself —
and she did!

By ELISABETH GOLDBECK

Let's Straighten Out
Bette Davis1 Love -Life!

EVERY actress must have a love-life. That's the
first law of Hollywood, and if any young blonde
dares to defy it and is a little shy about discussing
hers, a love-life will be provided for her by some-
one with an imagination. So it was with Bette Davis, the
girl who reminds everyone, even the Warner Brothers, of
Connie Bennett.

Her "love-life" was ;i good story, but no one ever
thought of asking Bette about it. until Movie Classic's
sleuths got bus) on the case. If that hadn't happened,
iln true story about Bette and her loves nn^hr never have
come to light.

Everyone should know by this time that Bette left her
native Boston, burning with the ambition to act. and en-
rolled in John M in 1 ay Anderson's dramatic school in New
York. Before she got her first stage engagement, Bettt is
supposed to have met one of the young bond salesmen

who abound in New York or used to, in those inflated
days. And because she was young and had the most
startling blue eyes in the world, thej became engaged.

Mut then came a part with the Provincetown Players,
and Bette was suddenly making more monej than her
struggling ybung salesman. So this Rovei Boj drew him-
self up to his lull height and refused to marry the gal
until she was making a smaller salan than his.

He didn't have long to wait. The play closed, and the
Davis careei seemed to I" ai a standstill, so our young
In ro again consented to set the date tiu the wedding. But

before the trousseau was assembled. Bette got her big

chance the role of Hedvig in the revival of Ibsen's "The
Wild Duck." I he bridegroom had received a raisi

Divorce Rumors

"Absurd!" says Clark, and explains why — so that you can't doubt him.
Moreover, he tells you just how he has changed in this past year —
and how he hasn't changed. He reveals how he figures his success
and what his future plans are. In short, he TELLS ALL in this amazingly

frank interview!

Clark Gable has given

few interviews lately, as

you may have noticed. For

one thing, he has been too

busy; for another thing, he

doesn't talk except when he

has something to say. This

interview, therefore, is in the nature of a "scoop." He is

getting some things off his chest that he hasn't said before.

He is absolutely frank. — Editor.

. . . as a doc-
t o r in
"Strange
Interlude"

HE divorce rumors about Mrs. Gable and me are
absurd !"savsClark

Gable. "They are
really funny. Hol-
lywood can never break my
marriage. I say that posi-
tively. It is impossible. I
certainly have not changed,
so far as my personal life is
concerned. 1 still want what
I wanted a year ago. I still
want the things that are most
important to me — my wife,
my family. They are all that
mattered to me then — and
they are all that matter to me
now."

This is Clark Gable's an-
swer to those who say that a
divorce is impending between
his wife and himself. This is
his answer to those who claim
that he is no longer the Clark
Gable he was a year ago.
This is the upshot of a frank,
straight - from - the - shoulder
talk I have just had with him.

then I belong in an institution for the blind. For 1 believe
every word he said to me. I believe his honest, unwavering
gray eyes. I believe that he tells the straightforward
truth, and nothing else. I don't believe that he is capable
of beating about the bush, of evading, of Actionizing. I
believe that, of the screen, he is no actor at all. That's
why men like him.

I asked him if he thought he had changed. I asked him
what this year of fevered fame had done to him.

And he said, honestly, "Of course, I have changed.
Bound to — a little. But I believe it is only a little — and in
little ways. Some of the changes have been forced on me.

Clark Gable says: "Mrs. Gable doesn't have to thank me for stick'

JANET Gaynor is the latest to
assume the mantle of the Gar-
bo-mystery role. Little Janet
has gone "mum" with a ven-
geance. When she arrived back
trom Europe, she set down a few
laws that fairly took away the
breath of the publicity department:
She has refused to give out any
"quoted" information about her-
self. She will not pose for fashion
pictures. She does not desire to be
grouped in "svmposium" stones
(those stories which also contain

anecdotes of other stars). In short, Janet is getting quite
as exclusive as Garbo ever was.

When will these boys and girls ever wake up to the fact
that only Garbo can pull a "Garbo"? In anyone else the
same tactics are slightly ridiculous. There is nothing mys-
terious about Janet and even her determined silence can't
make it so.

She is a sweet, lovable, little girl who can gain nothing
by hiding the fact from the public!

inclined to ramble. In fact, he
rambled so much that ear-wit-
nesses to the speech insist that
not two of Doug's sentences had
any connection whatsoever. After
fifteen minutes of hop-skip-and-
jump, Doug took his seat.

NEVER did a romance so sneak up
on Hollywood and take it un-
awares as the engagement of Virginia
Bruce and John Gilbert. (You can read
more about it on pages 42 and 43.) When
the story broke in the papers that the
lovely, blonde Bruce girl would become
the bride of John Gilbert as soon as his
divorce from Ina Claire became final, the
whole town gasped, "Well!"

Some time after August 15th is the
date set for the wedding. It is Virginia's
first trip to the altar, and Jack's fourth.
A little Southern girl, non-professional,
was the first and briefest Mrs. John Gil-
bert; Leatrice Joy (mother of Gilbert's
young daughter) the second; Ina Claire,
the third. Virginia, the expected-to-be
Mrs. Gilbert, the Fourth, evens the score
as to the type John prefers. Two brunettes
and two blondes!

A YEAR or so ago Virginia Bruce was
trying to get a foothold in the movies through "ex-
tra" work. She was one of the show girls in Eddie Cantor's
movie production of "Whoopee." I remember I talked
with Virginia one day in the publicity department of the
United Artists Studio. At that time she was quite blue

prospects. She
remarked that every-
body encouraged
her . . . and nobody
did anything about
it.

Ziegfeld took her
East for his extrav-
aganza, "Smiles" in
which she was quite
a hit. But Virginia
couldn't forget the
lure of the movies.
Her second attempt
was far more success-
ful. M-G-M signed
heron a contract and
she was loaned to
Warner Brothers and Paramount for very good roles.

She is a tall blonde who looks a great deal like Jane
Novak (remember Jane of the Bill Hart pictures?). Her
manner is languid and drowsy. John Gilbert loves to sit
at the feet of his lady-love and murmur, "Beautiful,
beautiful."

A GREAT many people believe that the news of John's
new serious romance must have been a great shock
to Ina Claire. It is true that they are separated. But
those who know Ina well believe that she has never fallen
out of love with Gilbert. Just before the announcement
of his coming wedding, Ina had wired Jack, inviting him to
play the role opposite her in a New York stage production
this Fall.

A LICE White is back in Hollywood after a long and

/V. successful vaudeville tour . . . which naturally means
that her devoted fiance, Cy Bartlett, is also in town. These
two have been "going together" for four years, but Cy's

first words to reporters were:
"No wedding bells for a while
yet. I know what Harry Ban-
nister meant when he said he
couldn't stand to be known as
'Mr. Ann Harding' any long-
er. I love Alice too much to
ruin our happiness by becom-
ing known as 'Mr. Alice
White.' Until I am actually
established on my own, I don't
want to drag Alice or myself
through a similarly humiliat-
ing situation as the Harding-
Bannister affair."

Alice has taken a very grand
house on a Hollywood hill.
There is a strong possibility
that she may sign for a series
of pictureswith Columbia. The
deal is on the fire.

MARY Pickford
hasn't made
a picture in many
months. There is
plenty of gossip
among the gossip-
columnists that
"Mary has seen her
best days." Yet it
isn't for the privilege
of looking at some of
the newer, more
"popular" players
that the large
crowd gathers out-
side the Brown
Derby almost every
day now. The word
has gone around that

Queen Mary (just try to unseat her with the public!) is
lunching there, almost daily. The crowd starts forming at
an early hour in the hope of catching Mary and her party
as they enter . . . and they stay late to see her as she comes
out.

Just the other day, Constance Talmadge shared honors
from the sidewalk gallery with Mary. The folks hadn't
forgotten Connie and gave her a royal welcome. It is the
first, or second, time Connie has ever lunched at the
Brown Derby and she was as thrilled as any fan.

Douglas Fairbanks and the Countess Frasso were in the
Pickford group that day. Gary Cooper joined them later.
Ah there, Gary!

Loretta Young, looking pretty, but a little tired, lunched
with her mother and sisters.

Lois Wilson was spotted standing in line, waiting for a
table.

DID you know that they almost roped Marie Dressier
in on that muchly criticized "imitation of Garbo"
gag Will Rogers and Wally Beery pulled at the premiere of
"Grand Hotel?" But Marie
was too smart for them. She
said she was "too ill" to at-
tend. Marie knows her movies
. . . and her Hollywood.

PEGGY Shannon and her
husband, Allan Davis,
dropped in the other night for
a little session of cards. Strictly
speaking, Peggy and Allan are
separated, but in spite of that
he is her most devoted dinner-
and-dancing partner. They see
each other almost daily-

The other day Norma was present
in a group in which another star was
being severely put on the pan. It was
the opinion of the luncheon ladies that
the girl they referred to was neither
beautiful nor talented.

"Then all the more power to her,"
spoke up Norma. "If she can reach
stardom in the movies without either
beauty or talent — then she must be a
genius!" That just about ended the
discussion.

GARBO

1925-1932

GRETA GARBO— in person a tall, severely
slender girl who wears mannish clothes ; on the
screen, the most glamourous figure that movie-
goers have
ever known — has had
more written about
her than any other
two individuals in
Hollywood.

This, despite the
fact that she is reti-
cent and shy, had lit-
tle to say in the days
when she was first
carving her career
and, since January,
1928 — four and a half
years ago — hasn't
given an interview to
a reporter or maga-
zine writer of any de-
scription.

Pick up any peri-
odical devoted to
news of motion pic-
tures, and you will
find something about
Garbo — photograph
or story — emblazon-
ed on its pages. It is
estimated that Garbo
has made more mag-
azine "cover lines"
than any other four
stars in the business.

What have writers
managed to say about
her when she hasn't
said a word for so long, herself? You will
find that she has been discussed from
every possible angle — hair, eyes, teeth,
diet, figure, health, silence, mystery, love-
life, no love-life, sun-baths, art, work, temperament,
temper, homelife, accent. Only Greta knows what hasn't
been printed about her.

If you want to get an idea of what the Garbo publicity —
unsolicited, heaped upon her gratis — has all been about
up to now, read her headline history :

May, 1923 — Mauritz Stiller, famous Swedish film direc-
tor, and Greta Garbo, Swedish film star unknown on this
side, arrive in New York after ten-day trip from Gothen-
berg. Miss Garbo, known as "the Norma Shearer of
Sweden," and Director Stiller have been placed under

contract to M-G-M. Reported that her salary will be
four hundred dollars a week.

Stiller, and his protegee, Greta Garbo, arrive

her youth, plumpness and freckles.

February, IQ26 — Swedish newcomer makes
American film debut opposite Ricardo Cortez
in Ibanez story, "The Torrent." Surprises by
being a sensation. Critic writes: "Probably
the most important feature of the film is . . .
Greta Garbo, a pretty, wistful, and intensely
feminine young person, who suggests a com-
posite picture of a dozen of our best-known
stars. Making her debut in the film, she
registers a complete success. She is not so
much an actress as she is endowed with
individuality and magnetism."

Losing a Hundred
Pounds of Husband

Margaret Livingston, the screen actress who married Paul Whiteman, the King of
Jazz, and made him a changed man, tells how she did it. After her success in
reducing his weight one hundred and ten pounds, screen success doesn't have

much appeal to Margaret any morel

EVERYONE in Hollywood wondered why Margaret
Livingston kept Paul Whiteman waiting so long
before she made up her mind to marry him. Now,
confesses Margaret Livingston Whiteman, it can be
told. She loved him. She admired him. She found him
congenial. But he was too fat.

"I'm fastidious about appearances," Margaret admits.
"Looks mean a great deal to me — too much, perhaps. At
any rate, after he kept begging for months for my answer,
I told him the brutal truth.

"'If you want me badly
enough to lose fifty pounds,
Paul' I told him, 'I'll
marry you.'

"'But I don't know it I
can do it,' he protested,
'I'll try, of course.'

"He went back to Chi-
cago. Almost every night
he called me up long-dis-
tance. It sounds romantic
to be wooed by telephone,
but what we talked about
was pounds and ounces
and carbohydrates and
proteins. 'I had nothing
except a lettuce and toma-
to salad for lunch to-day,

would boast, and I'd praise
him and give him the menu
for the next day. That

WHEN Lowell

delighted everyone in Holly-

exception of those kindly souls
who wish to portray the movie

center of Sweetness and Light.

It was a good, old-fashioned
divorce with fireworks, tears, accusations, 'n' everything —
that is, until some of the Movie Powers stepped in and

New

Divorce

Styles

For

Hollywood

By MARK DOWLING

After a half-dozen of the recent curious "love divorces"
of Hollywood, which have elevated domestic disagree-
ments to a distinctly idealistic plane, the frankly rowdy
Sherman-Costello proceedings seemed to indicate a return
to normal.

It may be all very jolly for a wife to totter from the
divorce court on the affectionate arm of her ex-husband
(as several wives have done lately), or for the recently
separated couple to announce devotedly a few hours later
that they may remarry soon (as Harry Bannister did),
but it doesn't make for that airy chit-chat which is as
necessary as salads at the stars' luncheon tables.

"If they understand each other so well, and admire each
other so much," demanded one moody fellow, who failed
to be impressed by the pathos of the Harding-Bannister
affair, "why bother to get divorced at all?"

And as if his words were prophetic, that is just what one
star decided, to the disappointment of the sensation-loving

inmates of the studios. After
announcing her intention of
seeking her freedom from
Joseph Schenck, Norma Tal-
madge changed her mind.
"We have decided that getting
a divorce is too much trouble,"
Norma said, "so there will be

New Kinds of Divorces
Favored by the Stars

"The Kiss Divorce" — originated by Ann
Harding and Harry Bannister, who kissed
after being parted.

"The Mail-Order Divorce" — obtained very
quietly and speedily, first by Nancy Carroll,
then by Miriam Hopkins.

"The Civilized Divorce" — which was first
favored by Estelle Taylor and Jack Dempsey.

"The Gardenia Divorce" — so-called be-
cause the former Mrs. Monte Banks wished
her ex-husband bon voyage with a bouquet
after their parting.

"The Truce Divorce" — just indulged in by
Lowell Sherman and Helene Costello, who
started out to have a battle in court and then
called it off.

no divorce!" Which adds to
the list of new styles the "too-
much-trouble divorce."

They Wanted a Fight

UCH more in earnest
_ about ending his mar-
riage was the sophisticated
Lowell Sherman, however. The
hearing was not held in a
closed courtroom in distant
Reno, but right in Los Angeles
in a court seating fifty-nine
spectators, with plenty of
space for others to stand near
the door. And if the Olympic
games gather as big a crowd as
that trial, they will be a grand
success ! They almost put up a "Standing Room Only" sign.
The blase Mr. Sherman caused a sensation in a Holly-
wood which has grown accustomed to "friendly" divorces
by accusing his wife, among other things, of drinking too
much, throwing cocktail glasses at him, knocking over

couples aired their REAL troubles in

tallies and "slugging" her mother-in-law. And while
making chese accusations, Sherman gave a performance of

a sophisticate red with rage, tidgering and finger-wagging,
such as he has never shown on the screen.

This frankness was so very different from the chaste
reticence of the Miriam Hopkins-Austin Parker marital
difficulties, to name just one, that Hollywood w as stunned.
Had the suave first Gentleman of the screen gone mad:

Miriam Hopkins, you rememher, was legally separated
from her husband by the quick and easy Mexican route.
(This also was used by Nancy Carroll in quietly divorcing
John Kirkland.) Since then, .Miriam and Austin have
been seen dining together and apparently on the best of
terms, and there are rumors that a reconciliation may be
effected any moment.

But now here was the elegant and cynical Lowell
Sherman giving Brown Derby lunchers a full hour's
delighted gossip by painting a pathetic word-picture of
home-life among the sophis-
ticates! Wasn't there even
a schoolmasterly horror in
his voice as he accused his
wife of reading naughty
books? ( I hat Lowell owns
the hest and biggest erotic
library in Hollywood, by the
way, is gossip that ma
may not he true.)

made their life together unbearable was the burning
question: Do people look better in make-up or out of

two was the more intellectual. So now a proletarian public
knows what sophisticates talk about in the privacy ol their
own homes.

Pretty Actress

Disappears,

Leaving Tear-Stained

Note

Margaret Perry, only eighteen and a great hit on both the

New York and London stage, gives up her screen career

and vanishes after her first picture. It wasn t any publicity

stunt — Margaret was heart-broken!

Found in Denver,
after a frantic search
(with news of her
disappearance suppressed),
Margaret Perry went on to
New' York, where execu-
tives are pleading with her
to return to Hollywood

By DOROTHY DONNELL

THE other day a famous
little actress ran away
from Hollywood, away
from a part in a picture
she was to have started the next
day, from the pretty bungalow
she had just rented, from her
chaperon and her friends, leav-
ing a desperate, tear-stained
note behind her saying that
"she was through, and never
coming back."

The disappearance ot Margaret
Perry, Broadway star, featured
in a Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer pic-
turization ot the play in which
she had just made a tremendous
hit on the stage, was kept a
secret even from prying, gossip-
ing Hollywood for five long
days, in which her friends and
family sent frantic wires, and

called in private detective agencies to search for her.
Only once before has such a thing happened — when
Edna Best, about to begin work as John Gilbert's leading
lady in "West of Broadway," fled from Hollywood because
she was lonesome for her husband, Herbert Marshall,
acting on Broadway.

Margaret Perry was wealthy in her own right, though
none of her new Hollywood friends suspected she is the
heiress to twenty million. She is adored by New York and
London audiences, lovely, healthy, and eighteen. What
emotion could be strong enough to cause her to run away?

Margaret Perry is the daughter, and
this newcomer is a woeful disap-
pointment. She cannot make up her
mind whether to be Swanson or Helen
Kane and. photographically, seems a/
total loss.

The performance hit of the picture

cere and revealing pq**" — ^"^of the
lOther She

The clue to why Margaret Perry
disappeared — with a big future ahead
of her — was supplied by the above
marked paragraph, torn from a Holly-
wood trade paper. It is part of the
first review of her first picture, "New
Morals for Old." Reading this one
harsh criticism, she thought she was a
failure in everyone's eyes.

At the RKO Studios where she
had spent the day of her dis-
appearance being fitted for gowns
as Joel McCrea's leading woman
in "1 he Most Dangerous Game,"
consternation reigned as they
tried to answer that question.
The susceptible Joel, who, it is
said, considered Margaret "a
swell kid," was one of those most
affected. Mrs. Brock Pemberton,
RKO fashion expert and Mar-
garet's aunt, who lived next-door
to her, spent a frantic night on
the telephone, talking to her dis-
traught mother,Antoinette Perry,
famous actress-playwright, in
New York.

What She Said in Her Note

ERIAN COOPER, the di-
rector, who had picked
her out from M-G-M tests to
play the heroine in "The Most
Dangerous Game," studied the
pitiful note she had sent him, for
a possible clue. She was going
away, the note said, and, she
didn't want anybody to try to

Marlene Dietrich Gets
Kidnap Threats— Child
Under Constant Guard

Most Famous Mother in Hollywood Receives

Demands For Twenty Thousand Dollars From

Kidnap Ring — Ruse To Trap Them Fails

By Janet burden

Wherever Marlene Dietrich goes, she
takes her little girl, Maria, and right
behind them, always, is an armed guard

LAST March, when the Lindbergh
_/ atrocity stirred the country,
Marlene Dietrich's neighbors' no-
ticed that the bedroom windows of
her house were being covered with a
heavy iron grille, agd that whenever
her little girl, Maria, went out to
play, she was followed closely by a
guard, as well as a nurse. Marlene
was in terror of having her own
child kidnaped.

A newspaper printed a photograph
of the house (owned by Charles
.Mack of "The Two Black Crows"),
with a white arrow pointing to the
barred w7indow of the nursery. The
next day, Marlene moved secretly to
a cottage at well-guarded Malibu
Beach, while bars were put on all
the windows of the Beverly Hills
house. Soon afterward, Marlene's
director-husband, Rudolph Sieber,
arrived from abroad. There w-ere
rumors that he would take the little
girl back with him to Europe, where
she would be safer.

Marlene's fears about her child's
safety have not been baseless. She
has received five notes of threat and
warning, filled with such sentences as
"If you want to save Maria to be a
screen star, pay and if you don't she'll
be but a loving memory." The first
demand was for ten thousand dol-
lars. Marlene turned each note over
to the police, but the news of their
receipt was kept from the news-

woman, and the other to Marlene.

The kidnap ring expressed resent-
ment at Marlene's ignoring their de-
mands. They sent her this message:
"Say, what's the big idea? Atten-
tion ! Is the future of your girl worth
it? Marlene, Marlene, you'll be
sorry!" They told her that now she
would have to pay them double.

There were no handwriting clues
to work on, as in the Lindbergh case.
Each word in each note had been cut
from a magazine or newspaper, and
pasted together to form the message.

Marlene, advised by the police,
placed a dummy package where the
kidnaping notes told her to leave the
money, but it was not touched. A
more threatening note followed. Mar-
lene is taking small Maria to the
studio with her these days. The
Dietrich set at the studio is locked.
An armed guard accompanies Mar-
lene wherever she goes.

Bank Closing Delays
Garbo's Trip Home,
Hits Other Stars

"Movie Stars' Bank" Closes Suddenly, Tying

Up Their Funds — Montgomery and Beery

Among Those Who Feel Poor Again

BY EVELYN DERR

WHEN the First National Bank
of Beverly Hills closed its
doors and Garbo did not leave for
Sweden at the time it had been an-
nounced she would, the two events
seemed to be a remarkable coinci-
dence. Wild rumor had it that Greta
had "almost a million" in the bank.
Her manager, Harry Edington, pooh-
poohed the sum mentioned. "Non-
sense!" he said. "It was only a few
thousand." But whether or not
the closing of the bank affected
Garbo, it affected hundreds of
other stars.

The president of the hank,
Richard L. Hargreaves, married a
movie actress — Helen Ferguson,
the wealthy widow ot William Rus-
sell. Perhaps this was the reason
for rhe movie colony's choosing
this hank for its big accounts. At
any rate, it was known as "the
movie stars' bank," and players
flocked to open accounts there.
That's rhe way it is in Hollywood —
v. Lit one does, the rest rush to do.

And that's the reason why the
hank had to close its doors. If seems
that some of the big stars suddenly
gol tin notion that government gold
bonds were the best investment lor
their money. As soon as the word
fM,r around, many other players
wanted told bonds, too. Several
large depositors reports sa\s Eddie
Cantor, tin- Marx Brothers and Cor-
inne Griffith, among others with-
drew money to buy bonds. One star
appeared with a withdrawal check
lot three hundred thousand dollars.
That's quite a hit ol change t" take
out of the tills without warning. So
the next morning, there was a polite
little not hi- on the doors and word
flashed around that the movie folk
had then money tied up.

Wallace Beery is marked as the
man with the worst luck in Holly-
wood. He lost a hundred thousand

in the failure of the
Guaranty hank last
year, ami had forty-
nine thousand in the
Beverly Hills hank.
Another unlucky star
is Robert Montgomery,
who has established a
reputation tor thrift in

Gary Cooper Names
Monkey "Tallulah,"
But Co-Star Objects

The Lady Known As Bankhead Speaks To

Gary Again After He Renames Baby

Chimp, "Toluca" — Brought Pet Back From

Africa To Enter Hollywood Society

BY RUTH WlNGATE

THE cute little baby chimpanzee
that Gary Cooper brought back
from Africa will no longer be known
as "Tallulah Cooper" in Hollywood
social circles (and maybe you think
that little 'monk' isn't in society!).
Her new name is Toluca Cooper, and
there is said to be a reason.

Tallulah is rather an unusual name.
At least, Tallulah Bankhead, so the
gossips report, flunks so. It isn't a
name like "Elizabeth" nr "Anna" or
"Dot" that might safely be tacked on
anyone or anything. So when (iary
Cooper arrived back in Hollywood
with a baby chimpanzee tucked under
his arm and fondly referred to the
little beast as "Tallulah," the original
of the name became annoyed.

Of course, the little monkey was
cute, but even a cute little "monk" is
only a monk — and Tallulah didn't
like it in the least. At first, we hear,
( iarv thought he could kid his co-star
of "The Devil and the Deep" out of
it, but as days went by and I allulah
sv. on- she wouldn't speak to Gary un-
til he changed the "chimp's" name, he
obliged just by way of keeping peace
on the set. It is a little difficult to co-
star with a lady to whom you an nol

Y< t in spite ol Tallulah's sensitive-
ness, I oluca is a howling social suc-
cess in Hollywood. She's actually in-
vited places. She has a wardrobe She
has evening and sports costumes. And,
what's more, Toluca loves partii s.

Pickford and the Countess Frasso,
helped receive the guests. For this
occasion Toluca was arrayed in a red
satin evening gown, a small red beret,
and an armful of fake diamond brace-
lets. She consumed a great quant n\
of caviar (hors d'oeuvres being I oluca's

favorite diet).
She ran chat-
tering from one-
group to the
other, taking
her hostess du-

Helen Hayes Sued For $100,000
By Her Husband's Former Wife I

who divorced

twice tried to have
the decree set aside

Doris

HELEN
HAYES,
who married
Charles Mac- Acmc

Arthur, the
playwright, in
September, 1928, has just
been sued for $100,000 for
alienation of affections by
Carol Frink, Chicago
drama critic, who divorced
MacArthur in 1926 after
a long separation.

Miss Frink and Mac-
Arthur, then both re-
porters on the same Chi-
cago newspaper, were mar-
ried in 1920. In 11)22, she
filed a divorce action, and
in 1926 she received her
decree. Four years ago,
she sued to have the di-
vorce set aside, hut lost in
both a lower and an ap-
pellate court. This is the
first time, however, that
she has directed a suit
against the second Mrs.
MacArthur.

In her early reporting
days, Carol Frink signed
herself, "Little Cirl Re-
porter," and Charles Mac-
Arthur was a brilliant, but
erratic youngster who in-
terspersed his tales of accidents and
fires by scribbling plays on copy
paper. On a belated wedding trip,
they came to Hollywood, and Carol
Frink interviewed several stars — in-
cluding Charlie Chaplin. The story
that Charlie told her attracted much
attention, and presently Carol Frink
was taken off" "human interest" as-
signments and given a whole dram-
atic page for her field — a remarkable
honor for such a young girl. Not long
after this, Charlie wrote " Lulu Belle,"
which his friends proclaimed a sure-
fire hit, if he could find a producer.
And just about that time, something

Playwright, In September, 1928, Is Accused Of Alienation
Of His Affections By Carol Frink, Chicago Drama Critic,

Said Couple Fell In Love Before He Was Divorced

"The Front Page" (based
on hisold newspaperdays),
and soon Helen followed
him to the West Coast, and
made a hit in "The Sin of
Madelon Claudet" and
" Arrowsmith." She is now
returning, after a brilliant
season on Broadway, to
co-star with Gary Cooper
in "A Farewell to Arms."
What — after a lapse of
four years — caused Carol
Frink to decide to sue
MacArthur's second wife?
Perhaps this is not the
answer — but it is an odd
coincidence. The papers
were served on Helen
Hayes three weeks after
the appearance of a highly
romantic story about her
in a magazine.

This story told, in su-
gared language, astonish-
ingly unwise
things for any-
one to reveal. It
admitted that
she and Charlie
fell madly in love
while he was
already married.
For almost
four years, it
does not seem to
have occurred
to Carol Frink
to sue Helen
Hayes for alien-
ating the affec-
tions of her hus-
band. Then, a
few days after the magazine with its
amazingly injudicious disclosures ap-
peared, the long-smoldering resent-
ment of the Little Girl Reporter flared
into flame! Incidentally, she also
wants adjustment of MacArthur's
alimony payments, which, she alleges,
are not up to date.

In a recent maga;ine story, Helen Hayes and
MacArthur were pictured as falling in love
before he was free. Did this cause the lawsuit?

happened between these two.
They separated — and Charlie
went to New York. His play
was produced, and made a great
success with Lenore Ulnc in the
title role. And it was rumored
that Charlie had fallen in love
with Helen Hayes, the wistful
and lovely young star of " Caesar and
Cleopatra." Presently, when his first
wife obtained her divorce, he and

Wheeler And Woolsey Have
Verbal Battle, And Come
To Parting Of The Ways

Bert Heads For Broadway, And Bob Prepares To Continue
On Screen With New Partner — Woolsey Says They Parted
With Words, But Not Blows, Blames Wheeler For Break-Up

JACK GRANT

Did Dorothy
Lee come be-
tween Robert
Woolsey (top)
and Bert
Wheeler?
It's a rumor

ROBERT WOOLSEY denies— em-
„ phatically — that any blows were
struck when he parted company with
Bert Wheeler, his teammate since
"Rio Rita." Hollywood had the
story that Bert had poked Bob in the
eye. But, then, Hollywood can be
wrong. It frequently is. Besides,
Woolsey was there, and Hollywood
wasn't.

The dissolution of the partnership
of Wheeler and Woolsey occurred
unexpectedly. The team had just
finished "Hold 'Em, Jail" and their
contract with RKO, where they had
been for more than two years. They
had been negotiating with Columbia
for a series ot comedies for that
company when the news broke that
Wheeler had returned to Broadway,
leaving Woolsey in Hollywood. Their
partnership was at an end. Besides
the rumor of the fisticuffs, there was
a rumor that they had quarreled
about Dorothy Lee, the peppy in-
genue of their pictures — and that she
would be in Wheeler's New York
production.

"It seems I was the last man in
town to know about Bert's heading
East," Woolsey says. 'You can't
guess who told me. The headwaiter
at the Roosevelt Hotel. He heard the

deal arranged between Bert, his
agent, and an Eastern theatrical pro-
ducer. The producer said that he
had a part for Bert in a new musical
show — a great part, one that would
make him the most famous comic on
Broadway. Imagine his giving up
pictures to be famous on Broadway!
I haven't anything against Broadway,
except it's just one street. But that's
the way Bert is. A great little guy,
but a lousy business man. He's
impetuous and can be easily sold.
Bert has made over four hundred
thousand dollars in pictures and
hasn't a thing to show for it.

"Bert was a little hot-headed. He
burned plenty when he was told that
David Selznick. the new boss at RKO,
asked when he first came on the lot
which was Wheeler and which was
Woolsey. They told him that Wool-
sey was the guy with the cigar, and
Selznick is quoted as saying it reallv
didn't make any difference, as he

life differences. Guess who'll be Woolsey's new partner!

didn't think either of us was funny-
There are a lot of people who don't
think us funny. But our pictures
made money.

"After hearing that remark at-
tributed to Selznick, Bert refused to
sign the new contract RKO offered
us. It wasn't for as much money as
we had been getting — but it wasn't
anything to sneeze at. However, he
was all for arranging a deal with
Columbia on a profit-sharing basis.
The papers were drawn. Then a
fellow who had acted as agent for
Bert back East popped up. After
talking to him, Bert accused me of
being hasty about the Columbia deal.
And it was his idea in the first place!
"Later I found out that Bert had
signed several stage contracts, so
perhaps he picked the fight just to
break the partnership. He didn't
have to fight with me to do that. All
he had to say was 'Let's quit.' Then
we would still have been friends.

"We'll never
team up again,
that much I can
tell you. Bert
broke us up, and
we'll stay busted

the curtain had

As someone has remarked —
check and double-check!
Garbo may wonder if she
really ought to make another
picture for only ten thousand
dollars a week, but in the
meantime the girl whom Hol-
lywood regards as Greta's
most dangerous rival is acting
for all she's worth in "Rain."
And who could be better in
the role of the good-bad girl
fought over by a marine and
a minister?

Hurrell

In 1931, Gable had his first big break — as one of Norma's two
lovers in "A Free Soul." That fiery role started him on his sky-
rocket journey to stardom. A year passes, and along comes
another great opportunity — again as a Shearer lover. This time,
however, he is gentle and sensitive, and Norma is tragically
sure that she loves him. For the picture is "Strange Interlude"

CLARK GABLE

AND

NORMA SHEARER

WILL ROGERS

Like the gangster bodyguard in "Scarface," Will is now cutting
out paper dolls. It's one way of showing you how business men
keep busy these days. And he'll show you plenty more in "Down
to Earth," which relates the depression adventures of the family
you first met in "They Had to See Paris." You'll also see Will
and his wit much in evidence during the Presidential campaign

Anita Keeps

The Home

Lights Burning

In the old days, when Anita
Page went out with the
boys, her little Irish cottage
at Manhattan Beach was
dark — for Mom and Dad
went, too. But now she
goes alone — so the lamp in
the hall is kept lighted. And
it has been burning so con-
stantly of late that it's be-
ginning to look like a ro-
mance between Anita and
young Dr. Cyril Rice. Mean-
while, she's alight, herself,
in "Skyscraper Souls"

Beauty In The Bath

(Hollywood Style)

Only in Hollywood would you see a bath
equipped with a chaise longue, as above. It's
part of the furniture in "Bachelor's Affairs," in
which Joan Marsh makes Adolphe Menjou lift
that expressive eyebrow of his even higher
than usual. And at the right, you see how a
Hollywood charmer looks with HER hair
knotted up, all ready to sponge the far
reaches behind the ears

Sally is keeping her lips tightly clamped these days. For one
thing, she has been serious ever since she was injured in an auto
accident, and her career seemed threatened. For another thing,
she and Hoot Gibson reunited three days after Sally announced
they had parted. But you'll soon see her in a laughing mood again
— for she is to do "Hat-Check Girl" (and you know hat-check girls!)

Mae Clarke's Breakdown

Twenty-one-year-old actress — who collapsed after making eight pictures without any rest

is now out of danger and on the road to recovery. And this is the girl who used

to say nothing ever happened to her! She will soon be back — as a star this time!

MAE CLARKE has been very, very ill
She has had two nurses much of

Will JOHN GILBERT'S

Fourth Wife be

VIRGINIA BRUCE?

Is it just a publicity stunt — this engagement of the famous screen lover (three
times divorced) and his new leading lady? They act dead in earnest, and
have even set the wedding date. Virginia says it is the first time she has -
been in love and --who knows? — it may be the first time John has, too!

WHEN they read that John Gilbert was
engaged to Virginia Bruce, his leading
lady in his new picture, the cynical
smiled, "It's just another publicity gag

a good boost to the picture." Which
makes John's answer to the news
paper woman who first asked
about his engagement even
more ironical.

The rumor that John's
new romance was some-
thing more than the
"week-end love" which
Hollywocd had called
it came, surprisingly
enough, from the
most recent Mrs.
Gilbert, in New
York. Ina Claire,
who recently of-
fered her ex-hus-
band the role of co-
star in her new
Broadway play,
confided to a friend
that John was en-
gaged again. The
friend wired to the
newspaper woman, who
accosted John at the Le-
gion fights that same
evening.

"Are you really engaged.

Jack:

sked.

^W^

He nodded at the slim, blonde
girl on his arm. "Virginia and I
are going to be married on the
fifteenth of August," he said.

"But, Jack," the newspaper
woman protested, "why didn't
you tell me before?"

He looked at her somberly, yet with boyish humility.
"I didn't know," said John Gilbert, ''that there was any-
body in the world who would be interested."

And it looks very much as if Virginia Bruce (born

John Gilbert and Virginia Bruce met on a

Monday, and were engaged the next Saturday.

Her quietness appealed to John

Briggs) of Minneapolis, Minnesota, and later of Fargo,
North Dakota, will become the fourth Mrs. John Gilbert
on August 15, the date when Ina Claire's divorce from
John becomes final.

It has been a whirlwind courtship — one of
those love-at-first-meeting matches.
They met on a Monday. They were
engaged on the following Satur-
day- Within three weeks the
whole world had the news.

What Drew Them
Together

T SAID to Virginia,
JL "Just what is it,
do you think, that
drew you to-
gether?"

And this fair-
haired, twenty-one-
year-old girl said,
simply, "We fit."

I asked, "But
what is it Jack seems
to expect of you —
what quality is he
looking for?"
She said, "Quietness."
And with those two
answers, Virgini :

this romance being 1
honest-to-goodness thinj
Before I talked with \
I did doubt it. Like the
Hollywood, I felt that it was just
another brief romantic interlude.
I thought of her very young and,
comparatively inexperienced life.
Her quiet childhood in Fargo,
North Dakota. Mother and Dad and one brother three
years younger. Her dreams of becoming a nurse — or an
artist. No dreams, ever, of Hollywood. I knew that she
had come to Hollywood some three years ago. Her mother

:St ol

had hoped this for her,
the movies . . .

An I ncle intro-
duced her to William

; dine.thcdirector.
There was a small
p:irt tor her, her first,
in Chevalier's "The
Love Parade." Para-
mount put her under
contract and there
were other small parts,
in "Young Eagles," in
"Safety in Numbers,"
and others. There was
the Paramount option
that was not renewed.
Then a role in the
Cantor-Ziegfeld-
Go 1 d wy n picture.
"Whoopee," dis-
covery by Ziegfeld —
and then New York. A
show-girl part in Zieg-
feld's "Smiles" and
the title of "Ameri-
ca's Most Beau-
tiful Chorus Gi rl."
Then a Metro scout
spied her and there
came a Metro con-
tract. Back to Holly-
wood she came — to
parts in "Are You Lis-
tening?" "Sky Bride,"
"The Miracle Man,"
"Winner Take All,"
and then the John
Gilbert picture,
"Downstairs," which
John wrote, himself.

Nothing very sen-
sational has ever hap-
pened to Virginia. She
h as had no < in at Loves
in her life. She has
never made startling
successes or vast sums
of money. She didn't
even care about the

iis. She said, "I

tried for Mother
Dad . . ."

Virginia Bruce, twenty-one and a former Ziegfeld

beauty, couldn't believe it, herself, when John

Gilbert proposed

Her Departed Rivals

AND then 1 thought of John. Of the stormy and emo-

ous downs. The vast sums of money he has had. The
torrents of publicity. The adulation and the criticisms.
The women . . .

1 thought of Leatrice Joy and that whirlwind, passion-
ate courtship and marriage. I thought of the way that
love cooled, that marriage dissolved, leaving Lent in i
hurt lor many years afterwards. There had been a little

girl born of that marriagi .i child who looked like John.

I thought of the first Mrs. John Gilbert, i lie "extra"

admitted they were not tin- same type and who still
calls hersell by his name . . .

JOEL McCREA

Joel is steering straight for stardom — one of the few local lads
who have sailed within hailing distance of those golden shores.
He has become RKO'S white-haired boy — and is set for a series

Joel!) The first is "The Most Dangerous Some" — in which he is a
a sailor and has the luck to run up against a man-hunting maniac

What's this — Sylvia dressed up? She has been a poor little poor
girl for so long that it's sort of a surprise to see her as a poor little
heiress in "Merrily We So to Hell." But every little girl who

of start that Gable had. Playing characters you're not supposed

stardom will soon be wide open. Soon after "Three on a Match"!

) you really believe that Ann Harding has

Ann Harding's handwriting might well baffle a

young newcomer from

the lad who is being built

up to play some of the old

Valentino roles. This tells you

all about the new ' mystery ' hero

By LYNN NORRIS

You first met Cary Grant in "This Is the Night" and as
one of the two new "discoveries" in the Ticker Talk
department of the June MOVIE CLASSIC. But you are
going to see plenty of him from now on, and you'll want
to know more about him. This gives you the whole story —
to date. — Editor.

CARY GRANT, who may make talkie versions of
some of Valentino's old silent hits, came to Holly-
wood for a vacation, without a serious thought
of the picture business except to visit friends who
were actors. As a result of a director's joke, he was given
a test — and a contract. He has broad shoulders and stands
six feet one inch m height. His love-life reads like a tale in
your favorite confession magazine; it's the idealized story
of what happens to every handsome young man with
romantic ideas. He doesn't like to talk about it, himself.
For his first picture role he played Thelma Todd's hus-
band in Paramount's super-musical, "This Is the Night."
A little unsure of himself in the new medium — he comes
from the stage — he says, himself, that he never saw so much
ham, when they let him watch his first "rushes." But the
preview audience sat up and took notice, for he played
opposite the experienced Roland Young and Charlie
Ruggles with surprising poise.

They
say he's
being
groomed to
take Buddy Rog-
ers' place; he has
much the same sort
of boyish charm. He
blushes fiery red when em-
barrassed, and clicks his heels
together and salutes, when he
leaves you — perhaps a holdover
from his musical comedy days.
There's a strong masculinity about
him, too — that's why they compare him
with Clark Gable. His face shows the same
handsome virility.

How He's Like Valentino

THERE is a strong rumor that he will remake
" Blood and Sand," playing Rudolph Valentino's old
toreador part. His only similarity to Rudy is in the
dreamy, flashing eyes, and the dark olive complexion. The
fans have discovered him, already. A woman stopped
Randolph Scott, another likely newcomer, on the street.

Genevieve is looking
fora man with the virility
of Clark Gable (left)
and the intelligence of
Leslie Howard (right)
— a combination hard
to beat. And equally
hard to find!

The man Genevieve
marries must also have
the dignity of Clive
Brook (left) and the
sheer nerve of James
Cagney (right). And
she d like him to be
rich, if possible

Why Genevieve Tobin
Has Never Married

WHY has Genevieve
Tobin, twenty-eight,
reddish-blonde, traveled
and "dangerous," never married? The
answer is easy. She said to me, "I must have a man with
the virility of Clark Gable, the intelligence of Leslie
Howard, the dignity of Clive Brook and, if I may say so,
the sheer nerve of James Cagney."

And that's why she has never married.

If such a peerless paragon does exist, let him now step
forward and claim Miss Tobin as his bride.

But I doubt it. Especially as she also stipulates that
the Lucky Man must have more than a little money. He
must be successful. That is definite. His check-book, in
other words, must have that Park Avenue air.

She has been engaged three times. And each one of
those times, when the engagement ring was slipped onto
her finger, she felt faint and nauseated. There was some-
thing imprisoning about it. She could not go through
with it. And she didn't!

She will never marry an actor. That, too, is a positive
statement. The sight of greasepaint on a man's face debars
him as her husband and the father of her children. She
wants at least two. Children, I mean, not fathers for
them.

She means, when she marries, to retire from the screen.
She says, truly, that she has been rather a well-known

By Gladys Hall

actress. She would insist upon being
married to a man of equal, if not
greater, fame and distinction. She does
not demand that he win his fame in the same line.

Money Won't Be Enough

NOR is money alone enough. One of her three engage-
ments was to a Rich Man's Son. Very rich. Gene-
vieve could have dwelt in marble halls and pulled orchids
out of the home meadows. But this rich man's poor son
could do nothing. He had no interests — except Genevieve.
He didn't know how to do anything. And so he was tabu.

It isn't only money that Genevieve wants, you see. It
is the power that, in its stride, gets money, too.

Nor will the particular Miss Tobin consider a doctor.
Medical profession, please abandon hope! One of her best
friends is married to a doctor and the life is one of haphazard
meals, broken sleep, and uncertain hours. A lawyer — yes.

If ever she should, by some emotional fluke, fall in love
wTith an actor, he would have to be more famous than she
is, herself, and making considerably more money. Gene-
vieve, could not bear to Look Down upon her necessarily
Better Half.

"And with all this talk," she said to me, "I'll probably
marry a chorus man!"

She takes marriage very seriously. Brought up in a

SANITARY NAPKIN

(U. S. Pat. No. 1,857,854)

Redesigned to end all fear of
revealing outlines, no matter
how close-fitting your dress is

AT LAST! A radically-new design in sanitary
protection. Made by Kotex — originators of
the modern sanitary napkin.

It is called PHANTOM KOTEX. Why?
Because it is so flattened and tapered that
it leaves no outlines even under the closest-
fitting of evening gowns.

And for those who require extra pro-
tection, Super Phantom Kotex is perfect.
Despite the extra protective surface, ends
are so skilfully flattened and tapered as to
be completely inconspicuous.

Kotex features retained
Kotex is soft even after hours of use;
wonderfully absorbent; can be worn, with
equal protection, on either side; disposable,
easily. More than 24 million pads were
used in hospitals alone last year.

Ask for the new PHANTOM KOTEX. Try
it. Learn what a difference it makes. Insist
upon getting genuine Kotex, when you buy
it wrapped. Each tapered end of the new
pad is stamped "Kotex" — so you can't get
inferior substitutes.

Kotex prices are today the lowest in Kotex
history. This new improvement comes to
you at no increase in price. On sale at all
drug, dry goods and department stores. Also
in vending cabinets through the West Dis-
infecting Company.

Taking In The Talkies

Larry Reid'S Slant On The Latest Films

A S y O U ^ou won,t hear any pro and con argument about Garbo in her

newest — and perhaps last — picture. It is by no means her best
DESIRE M E picture, but Garbo, herself, is at her best. She's even a bit daring,

what with standing in a doorway in negligee and being a bit "lit
up," as well as a platinum blonde, in the early part of the picture. The plot is confusing —
intentionally so. She is a woman who either doesn't remember her past, or doesn't want to —
and then she is told she is the long-lost wife of Melvyn Douglas. She looks like the vanished
girl and she tries to be, she tells him, "as you desire me." In the end, you're left wondering
whether she is his wife or not. Garbo is always at her ease, is less tragic than usual, and smiles
often. Douglas has a stiff role. Erich von Stroheim is so convincingly villainous you wish
lightning would strike him. Owen Moore, as an old friend, is as smooth as Jimmy Walker.

THE

DARK HORSE

"The Dark Horse" not only beat all the other election comedies
to the box office, but I suspect that it will beat all the others at
the box office. It's clever and amusing from start to finish, in
acting, story and lines. There isn't a weak cog in it. A dead-
locked political convention nominates an unknown "dark horse" (Guy Kibbee) for governor,
and he turns out to be so honest and so smilingly dumb that the bosses have no hopes of
electing him — until Warren William gets out of alimony jail and becomes his campaign manager.
William, a high-pressure promoter, plays up the candidate's dumb honesty and ballyhoos him
into office. It's easy to kid the voters, he finds. But it's not so easy to kid his cute ex-wife
(Yivienne Osborne), who almost wrecks both his campaign plans and his romance with his
chipper secretary (Bette Davis). Warren William clicks again. It seems to be a habit of his.

Tljc DOOMED Imagine being fascinated by a war picture at this late date!

Maybe there's something wrong with my nervous system — but
BATTA LION that's what happened to me (unexpectedly) when I looked over

"The Doomed Battalion." It isn't gruesome; and it does have
suspense and some breath-taking photography. The setting is not Flanders mud, but Alpine
snow — and the conflict you see is that between the Austrians and Italians. The hero, a private,
is stationed high on Collalto, only four miles from his native village, which is occupied by the
enemy. One of the enemy is his best friend, who must give the order to dynamite the Austrians
from the mountain peak. That's where the suspense comes in. The hero is rugged Luis
Trenker, a new face to Americans. He also wrote the story, and directed the dramatic snow
scenes. Tala Birell, who looks too sensitive to be a peasant, makes her debut as his wife.

BRING 'EM
BACK ALIVE

Here's a jungle thriller without any last-minute rescues or
romance, and with precious few humans in the cast! It makes
"Trader Horn" look like a Boy Scout expedition. It's the
story of the man with the most unusual and perhaps the most
dangerous job in the world — Frank Buck. He looks a bit like Warner Baxter and his job is to
get the world's most dangerous animals for zoos. He told you how he does it, in a book of the
same name; now he illustrates his story. The scene is the Sumatra jungle; the cast are the
villains and comedians of the jungle — the black leopards and panthers and pythons, and the
honey bears and fuzzy apes. The big climax of the picture is a fight between a python and a
panther, after which Buck catches both of them. (Picture yourself playing around with
either of them!) You'll wonder where the camera was, when some of the scenes were filmed.

I s M y
Face red?

gossipers — and it's funny
'The Keyhole to the City,

Doing a quick right-about-face from his role of the sensitive hero
of "The Symphony of Six Million," Ricardo Cortez now plays a
brassy columnist in a satire that rings the bell. It's a lusty, witty
sock at the newspaper men of Broadway who have become male
even when it's melodramatic. Cortez conducts a column called
and doesn't care how he gets his gossip, so long as he gets it; he
modestly says that he's "the guy who made Broadway famous." He throws over his old sweet-
heart (Helen Twelvetrees) for a Park Avenue flirt (Jill Esmond), who later tells him, "You
amused me — like going to the flea circus." He reveals a murder before the body is found, and
gets shot for his trouble. But I predict that Cortez will make you like him. Zasu Pitts, as a
weary telephone operator, and Arline Judge, as his secretary, almost steal the picture.

MERRILY

WE GO TO HELL

It seems that there were two novels — one called "Merrily
We Go to Hell" and the other, "I, Jerry, Take Thee,
Joan." They have taken the title of one and the plot of
the other, and the result is more or less a waste of time
for Fredric March and Sylvia Sidney. The title refers to a toast that Freddie, who plays a
reporter, has a habit of drinking. And how he does imbibe! All because a blonde actress (a
pretty English newcomer named Adrianne Allen) has shattered his ideals. But he gets himself
married to an heiress (Sylvia), who reforms him and makes him write a play that's a hit. And
then (you guessed it) the actress comes back into his life and wrecks it again. But then (you
guessed it again) Sylvia is about to hover over a bassinet — and our hero comes marching (no
pun intended) home again. The acting is 'way above the story. Amusing in spots.

612 women, under observation of 15
dermatologists, use usual beauty meth-

Woodbury's Facial Soap on other side
. . . for 30 days. Contrast astonishing!

By Dr. (_

(Nationally known Jermato; .

"The ethics of my profession forbid
publication of my name. But I can tell
women these actual facts: —

"For 30 days a group of women under
my observation cleansed one side of
their faces with their usual methods . . .
soaps, creams, lotions— whatever they
liked . . . The other side of their faces
they washed every day with \\ oodburv's
Facial Soap.

"At the end of 30 days, the contrast on
those faces was startling Not only
through the microscope or magnifying
glass, but to the naked eye. The cheek
which had been washed with Wood-
bun's, was clear, bright, firm. Smooth
and line as silk. Glowing with life. I he
other cheek was sallow, dingy, coarse-
pored, in comparison.

"The results of that experiment con-
vinced me, as they would any scientist.
If I were a woman I couldn't ask for
better proof of what to use to keep my
skin nice, or to make it clearer and finer.

"Any woman, seeing the right and left
sides of my patients' faces after the 30-

'I can't use soap on my face' . . . and
quickly abandon the idea that one must

Your skin needs creams, too. But lirst
of all, it needs zestful cleansing with
Woodbury's for the extra tonic effect it
has on the skin glands, pores, circulation.

Woodbury's is not just a soap. It is a
scientific beauty treatment in cake form.
Numerous foreign countries, including

to be all settled. Hollywood amazed at size
of her salary, and amused by her victory.

" Miss Garbo typifies the languor of passion.
She is the only woman in the world who has
capitalized anaemia. When she glides or
'slouches' through a scene, with mouth
partly open, and eyelids drooping, it
registers as exotic passion. Her mouth may
droop because she is too tired to hold it
shut . . . her eyes, because she has not the
energy to hold them open."

terious Lady," with still another leading

vr/iy blame stockings when YOU ??iay be at fault ?

"Another pair gone!"— natural

to blame the stockings. But _yo//may
have caused those expensive runs!

When your stockings are new,
they are elastic. They give instead
of breaking under strain. Stretch
and spring right back again.

But if you wash away this pre-
cious elasticity — rub stockings with
cake soap so the fibres weaken, lose
their supple "give"— then they break.

At the slightest strain. Even bend-
ing your knee or fastening your
garter may start a wretched run!

Fit, too, is spoiled. Lifeless silk
sags, causing horrid wrinkles,
crooked seams.

So WHY take chances? Lux is espe-
cially made to preserve elasticity — all the
"live" quality the silk has when it is
new. That's why it offers you the sure
way to make your stockings wear — make
them keep their perfect, flattering fit.

The Lux Way to

save the elasticity

that ttiakes stockings

wear and Jit

Wash this 2-minut» way :

1. One teaspoon oi Lux

lor each pair.

2. Add lukewarm water
to Lux, squeeze suds
through stock
rinse well.

Don't rub with cake soap.

It destroys thee last icity.

Avoid ordinary soups —
cakes, powders, chips.
These often contain
harmful alkali which
weakens silk, I I
ors. Lux has no harmful
alkali. Anything sale in
water is sale in Lux.

Lux saves stocking E-L-A-S-T-I-C-I-T-Y

Makes Eyes Look
and Feel Just Fine!

Think of Murine the very next time that ex-
posure to sun, wind and dust inflames your
eyes and makes them look simply awful. This
world-famous lotion will relieve the burning,
bloodshot condition in short order and leave
your eyes enchantingly clear and bright!

Murine is utterly free from belladonna
and other harmful ingredients. Noted stage
and screen stars use it daily to keep their
eyes always clear and sparkling. 150 applica-
tions cost but 60c at drug and dept. stores.

MAKE THIS TEST ! Drop Murine in one eye
only .... then note how clearer anil brighter
it becomes and how very much better it feels!

Gable Denies Divorce Rumors

{Continued, from page is)

"I know, of course, that this fan favor
I've found is sincere. It couldn't be any-
thing else. But I know, too, that it is just
— a break. Oh yes, it is! There are thous-
ands of better actors than I am. There are,
God knows, thousands of men who are
better-looking. I just happened to have
something — I don't know what it is, and
neither do you — but it was something that
by some fluke happened to click. That's
all. It was just one of those things — it
might have happened to anyone. It hap-
pened to happen to me.

"Fan favor is built, too, block by block,
if you are versatile in the roles you play. I
mean, you can figure it out, how it happens,
how it increases and everything. It's built,
block by block, piece by piece, like adding
one piece of a picture puzzle to another.

"I mean, I play a part, let us say, like I
played in 'A Free Soul.' That sort of man
happens to appeal to or interest a certain
group, or groups of people. They become
fans. Then I play a part like I played in, for
instance, 'Hell Divers.' That type of man
appeals to other groups of people — in this
case mostly the kids, I figure. And they
become fans. You haven't lost your first
group because they are still at least curious
enough to see what you are going to do
next. You haven't lost them — you have
added others. And so it goes.

How He Figures His Success

I- 'HE thing is, never to be typed, never

_L to stick to one sort of character, never
to play too long on one string. Because a
certain type appeals mostly only to certain
types of people and when you have ex-
hausted them, you are done.

"I have played a gangster, a minister, an
aviator, a doctor (in 'Strange Interlude') and
I'm going to play another adventurous and
colorful part in 'China Seas.' I've been
able to keep on building. So long as a man
is able to build, he is able to progress. It's
the same in any business. To keep on
having new 'customers,' you must keep on
increasing your stock, varying it, meeting
new demands.

"I know that the popularity I have now
must go. Xo question about that. It never
has lasted for anyone — why should it last
for me? But I may be able to vary that
popularity.

"No, the stories that have been written
about me, the talk, the gossip — none of this
has changed me.

" I seldom read the things that are written
about me any more. I used to. At times, I
was annoyed. At other times, amused.
They still amuse Mrs. Gable. She doesn't
take them too seriously. She has a healthy
sense of humor. She gets a kick out of it all.
She knows that the kind of things written
and said are a part of the game. She knows
me. She knows she has nothing to worry
about — "

"But," I broke in, "there must be other
menaces besides the things that are written
and the things that are said. What about
the jittering fools of women who must try
to attract your attention — "

"They arc fools, you say?" Clark smiled.

"Well, they're not exactly sensible, are
they?" I parried.

"Exactly — and wouldn't I be the king
prize fool of them all if I let them affect
me?"

"Of course. But being human ..."

"Oh, human, yes. Like plenty of other
men, I suppose, I've had my wobbly
moments. Times when I've half-thought,
'Gosh, if I weren't married, I could do this
— or that — or some other thing — ' Then
I've stopped and asked myself just exactly
what I would do that I'm not doing right

now. And I don't know. I can't answer. I
can't think of anything. Then I stop and
think, 'Well, which is more important to
you — what you have — or what you may,
just possibly, not have?' And the answer is
simple, easy and immediate. What I have
is the important thing to me. The only
really important thing.

"And, after all, you know, my family has
as much right to these things that have
come to us as I have. I had my family
before I had all this. They went through
those other times with me, too, you know.
Mrs. Gable doesn't have to thank me for
sticking around, you know. If anything, she
deserves credit for sticking around with
me — "

There I agreed, rather. "It must be
rather rough on her in some ways," I said.
"Women find it easy to be jealous, you
know, whether there is any specific cause
or not. You might have married some silly,
hysterical little person — "

"I know," Clark said. He added, "I
often wonder how anyone as dumb as I am
ever had the sense — and the good luck — to
marry the woman I did."

There is another very sound reason why
Clark has not changed since the spotlight of
Fame concentrated its fieriest rays on him.
lie remembers the lean days.

Some Things He Can't Forget

HE said, "I've been hungry — and I
remember what it feels like to be
hungry. I was unwanted and I remember
the humiliation of closed doors and averted
faces. I not only remember these things —
they live with me. They are as much a part
of the present as they were a part of the
past. I know that a man who has been
hungry once can be hungry again. I know
that those of us who rise up can also fall
down. I am not only what I am now, you
know; I am also what I was then "

I asked him if he had the same friends as
he used to have, in those lean days.

He said, "No. I'm sorry to say that I
haven't. It is not my fault. That is, it is
not by my desire. I suppose it is, in a way,
my fault. Somehow, my old friends, with
one or two exceptions, won't come around
as they used to. They seem to feel some-
thing— I don't know what it is — some
strange self-consciousness or embarrass-
ment or something. I invite them to go
places with me; invite them to have dinner
with us. Sometimes they accept — but very
often they don't show up. It's one of the
changes that have been forced on me — and I
dislike it intensely.

"I don't believe there have been any
other changes. I suppose I like money and
the things that money can do better than I
thought I would a year ago. I've found
what pleasant things it can do for other
people. It's fun having it."

And that is a change, too. Because just
one year ago he said to me (again I quote
his exact words): "I don't want money.
Not a great deal of it. I don't want things.
I'm not that type of person at all. I
wouldn't be happy living as some of the
stars out here live. I don't care anything
about luxuries and servants and swimming
pools and big parties. I wouldn't fit. I
couldn't handle them. It's important to me
to be happy — in my own way."

Clark has changed only as any sensitive,
developing human being would change. He
has learned to fit — in little ways. He has
learned to want things — more for those dear
to him than for himself. Essentially and in
all fundamental ways he is the same as he
was a year ago. If his head is now among
the stars, his wise eyes detect the tinsel from
the gold. I believe him — don't you?

SOS West Lake Street. Dept. 6S2-K CHICAGO, ILLINOIS

(Continued from pagers)

She wasn't, however, interested in Randolph.
" I want to find out about a young man who
has just signed with your studio!" she said.
She meant Cary Grant !

He was born in Bristol, England, but he
speaks without a British accent. A grand-
father was Percival Leach, the English
actor, and Cary Grant happens to be his
real name. Cary decided to follow his
grandfather's example at the age of twelve,
when he solemnly offered a new idea in
theatrical lighting effects to the manager of
the Princess Theatre in Bristol. They let
the boy operate the lights for a day, and
this first contact with show people strength-
ened his determination to be an actor.

He didn't wait very long. Soon after-
ward, he ran away from home and joined a
traveling acrobatic troupe. They did eccen-
tric dancing, stilt acts, and a clown routine,
and Cary stayed with them for four weeks.
Then his father appeared on the scene and
dragged him off back to school.

Ran Away a Second Time

AFTER all, he was only twelve, and this
. setback failed to stifle his ambition.
For the next few years he followed the
movements of the troupe of comedians,
planning to join them again. He confided
in the little daughter of a well-to-do neigh-
bor, and when she heard his dreams of
becoming a great stage star, she was under-
standing enough not to laugh. She encour-
aged him.

She helped him prepare for his second
flight from home, and this time the father
let his son's decision stand. For a year Cary
toured England with the same company of
actors, and then they came to New York
and played at the Hippodrome. Katherine,
the little home-town girl, passed out of his
life, but Cary still has fond memories of her.

For the next few years the boy played in
stock companies in England and America,
gaining invaluable experience as an actor
and spending his money on singing teachers,
to develop his splendid baritone voice. It
was on a boat trip to the United States that
he met Ruth, the beautiful daughter of a
Middle Western business man.

They met as young people do on board
ship, and fell madly in love with each other.
The moonlight on the upper deck had some-
thing to do with it, of course, as all of you
who have made an ocean journey will know.
When the boat landed, each went his own
way and never saw the other again.

The Girl Who Helped Him Most

ONE of the darkest moments in Cary's
life was when he found himself,
stranded, in a small town in the East. The
show he had been with closed. It was a
girl, Ethel, who stayed at the same hotel
and worked in a company at a nearby
theatre, who helped Cary over the rough
spot. Her act broke up, too, and they went
back to New York to storm the booking
offices.

Their struggle to find work brought them
close together. They took long walks in
Central Park and talked over their pros-
pects. Neither of them had any money, but
that didn't stop them from dreaming. They
fell in love — their conversation turned from
shop-talk to romancing about an ivy-cov-
ered cottage in the country. Ethel stood by
Cary during that trying time, and now he
says, " I hope she reads this. I want her to
know how much her help meant to me."

Finally they both found work and started
on the upward path. Arthur Hammerstein
became interested in Cary and put him to
work in a musical, "Golden Dawn." Ethel
was working, too, and their careers sep-
arated them. Gradually they put aside

their dreams of the future. The present was
here — demanding their every minute!

Cary's voice won him the juvenile role in
"Polly," another musical comedy, and after
that he was signed with the Shuberts. He
played opposite Jeanette MacDonald in
" Boom-Boom," and went with the company
to Chicago. Then came the lead in "Wonder-
ful Night," and the Broadway critics began
writing raves about his voice.

Park Avenue Not for Him

WITH success came various sorts of
acclaim. At a supper club he was
introduced to Adele, the daughter of one of
New York's most prominent families,
socially, and a member of the fast younger
set of the city. The brilliance of the musical
comedy footlights attracted her, and she
asked Cary to parties that would have
turned the head of a less steady young man.

Cary, however, realized that "society"
was out of his line and it was natural that
he should have had a "misunderstanding"
with Adele — so they parted.

His next Broadway success came with the
musical, "The Street Singer," in which
Cary played opposite the New York favor-
ite, Queenie Smith. For the summer he took
a cottage at Freeport, Long Island. One of
the crowd who came to visit him week-ends
was Ann, a quiet, well-bred girl and a good
sport. With her he stole away from the
crowd and went on merry-go-rounds, like a
couple of kids. They swam, talked, and
played together. Ann, more than any girl
he has known, fulfills Cary's ideal of what a
sweetheart should be.

"She must be, first of all, a good sport.
Willing to ride in a Ford or a Rolls-Royce.
As happy at a hot dog stand as in the best
restaurant in town."

Ann was this kind of girl. They may
marry — later — if they're both of the same
frame of mind. Just now Cary's too busy
learning how to act before the camera.

"Discovered" by Accident

WITH the close of " Nikki," in which he
played with two Hollywood celebri-
ties, Fay Wray and Kent Douglass, Cary
set out on a tramp automobile trip to Holly-
wood. Just for fun. To visit a few friends
out here, and return after a two-week visit
to play another engagement in New York.

One of the friends, however, was Marion
Gering, the director. One day at the studio
while testing a girl for a part, Gering asked
Cary to stand in with her. Not seriously.
Just to help her out — to throw back the cues
to her.

When the authorities saw the test, they
lost no time in putting Cary's signature to a
contract. Without delay, he was assigned to
an important role in "This Is the Night."

He finds Hollywood rather quiet after the
hurry of New York. He has taken an apart-
ment in Westwood, a suburb a few miles
outside of the film colony. He doesn't want
to be compared with anyone — though
they're likening him to every handsome lead
in the business, including the iate beloved
Yalentino. "Please don't say I look like
Valentino. I don't."

He's having a hard time learning the new
technique demanded by the camera. "I'm
always off-balance when they start shooting
a scene. It takes a few seconds before I can
get hold of myself."

Officials at the studio consider he's doing
remarkably well, for a newcomer, and per-
haps you noticed his efforts, yourself, in
"Sinners in the Sun." (He was the tall,
handsome, but unsuccessful wealthy suitor.)
And perhaps you'll see him in the Yalentino
picture. Keep your eye on him!

Why A Minister's Role
for Gable?

CLARK GABLE — a minister, the mere
thought of it knocks me senseless. I
wonder what the director was thinking of
when he cast Gable as a minister in "Polly
of the Circus."

The only actor that could ever match his
abilities with those of the late Valentino
Clark Gable — the he-man lover, the cave-
man type that grabs his woman by the roots
of her hair till she pleads for mercy, and how-
most of the girls would thrill being enfolded
thusly by Gable. Yes, glamourous Gable,
and still some director went right along and
gave him the part of a minister.

I do not claim that a minister cannot be a
he-man, or that he is not entitled to his
share of love but do you ever think of a
minister when you speak of great lovers,
such as Gable?

Let's do right by Clark Gable, give him
the role that he so well portrays, that of the
rough and ready, irresistible loser, that of a
man's man, as well as a woman's man.

Holly zvood" s
Secret of Attraction

HOLLYWOOD — The dramatic interest
of beauty that attracts and fascinates is created
by a new kind of make-up originated by Max
Factor, Hollywood's wizardof make-up. You
see its wonders in every feature picture from
filmland.

A make-up created in color harmony for
each type of blonde, brunette, brownette and
redhead. You'll see the amazing difference
instantly. Each shade of face powder, for ex-
ample, is a color harmony tone, composed
of scientifically balanced chromatic colors...
Thus, off-color, spotty, chalky, powdery and
other flat-color effects are overcome. Instead,
a satin-smooth, color-perfect make-up is cre-
ated...giving to the complexion a live, youth-
ful underglow.

Even under strongest daylight and artificial
light beauty appears perfect ... for this face
powder has been proved perfect for you by
famous stars face to face with blazing lights
and camera. Always velvety in texture, it
never appears shiny... and it clings for hours,
too, for screen stars will not entrust their
beauty to a powder that fluffs away.

Now you may share this luxury created
originally for Hollywood's stars, for Max
Factor's face powder is available to you at
the nominal price of one dollar the box.

Rouge, lipstick, eyeshadow, too, are created
by Max Factor in correct color harmony...
fifty cents each. At all drug and department
stores.

Let's Straighten Out Bette Davis*
Love-Life!

{Continued from page 13)

What Delayed the Wedding

HISTORY repeated itself almost to the
point of monotony in the course of
their love story, as related in the public
prints. During the slump that followed
"The Wild Duck," Bette just about gave
up acting as a career, and the proud fiance
relented again. But no sooner did he feel
he could honorably offer his hand, than Uni-
versal gave the young lady a contract.
Bette, whose love for her betrothed seemed
to be a very secondary sort of emotion, flew
oft to Hollywood with never a regret for her
lost wedding — until option time came
around and she was not encouraged to stay.
Once more in a bridal frame of mind, she
telephoned New York, became re-engaged
by long-distance and rushed back to the
East .

Practically at the altar, the Warner
Brothers offered her a contract and — since
the groom would never have been able to
swallow the humiliation of a bride with a
three- or four-figured salary — she returned
to Hollywood and her art, to become one of
the Warners' favorite prospects.

"It's so utterly wrong," Bette asserted,
after listening attentively to her alleged
love-life. "They've got everybody mixed
up. I always feel so silly talking about ro-
mances, and I never have before. But I
know everyone is interested in love, and this
is so wrong that I'd like to contradict it."

With electric blue eyes looking squarely
out of a tanned face, Miss Davis deftly de-
molished somebody's beautiful dream of her
romance. In spite of the false start she got
in pictures as a namby-pamby country wall-
flower, Bette has turned out to be one of
the most clear-cut, definite and modern per-
sonalities in Hollywood — in fact, she always
has been, if producers had only known it.
When Bette tells you something in her crisp
voice, with her shoulders set at a confident
angle, you are pretty sure it's true, and no
nonsense.

Bette Denies All

IN the first place," she began in decisive
rebuttal, "since I first began at the
Provincetown Playhouse, my career has
gone along steadily, in a straight line — or
rather, slightly upward, I hope. There have
been no lulls or lapses, and I never once
thought of abandoning acting, either on the
stage or the screen.

"In the second place, I have never been
back to New York since I first started work
in pictures.

"And in the third place, I've never got
anywhere near an altar.

"The boy I'm in love with now, I've been
in love with for six years. But he's not a
bond salesman, and we've never been en-
gaged.

" We were sweethearts in school — a small
boarding school near Fitchburg, Massachu-
setts. I know most girls don't go to co-ed
boarding schools, but our family has had
some sad experiences with girls' schools.
Mother has a violent prejudice against them,
and my sister and I were brought up as
co-eds. This boy and I used to write mash
notes to each other, and considered ourselves
madly in love.

"Since then there have been periods when
we didn't see each other for years at a time.
Then we would meet by accident somewhere,
and find we were in love all over again.
After school, I didn't see him for three years,
until one summer at Cape Cod, in a movie
theatre. He's a very tall skinny boy. I saw

his tall back ahead of me, and I screamed.
I couldn't believe my eyes. We saw each
other a lot that summer and were as much
in love as ever.

Approves of Proud Romeos

THEN two more years elapsed. In the
meantime I had become engaged to
one boy and involved with another. The
engaged one was a man in Rochester, where
I had worked in George Cukor's stock com-
pany. I was in New York by that time, and
as a long-distance fiancee I wasn't much of
a success, so 1 gave that up and decided not
to be engaged again. Meanwhile I was sort
of in love with a man in New York, but he
didn't believe in marrying a girl who made
more money than he did, so that never even
reached the engagement stage."

Incidentally, Bette thinks that sort of ob-
stinacy about money is very foolish, but
awfully nice. It wastes an awful lot of time
when you might be together — but she still
can't help admiring a man who feels that
way. It shows a nice spirit, and her attitude
toward that kind of boy is torn between
good sense and sentiment.

"Then I met my old sweetheart again,"
she went on. "The amazing part of it is
that we've grown up in complete sympathy.
Usually, childhood sweethearts turn out to
be entirely different kinds of people and
loathe each other. But though we've grown
up apart from each other, we've developed
along the same lines, and we're just as con-
genial as ever. He's the only man I know
who understands me perfectly, and knows
just how to treat me and to get along with
me."

Bette admits she's difficult. That decisive
manner means something a little more to be
reckoned with than mere vivacity.

" 1 think all people of the theatre are dif-
ficult. A little selfish and temperamental.
But if you know how to manage them,
they're fine. And he does. He's just finish-
ing college, and we haven't any plans at all
about the future. We're just in love."

Why Hollywood Men Are "Out"

SO far this extraordinary beau has never
been to Hollywood, and people are fond
of predicting that, when he does come, it
will be just too bad for that six-year ro-
mance. Old sweethearts have a way of look-
ing shoddy to the once-fond eyes when seen
in this gaudy setting. But Bette has no fear
of that. This is the kind of man she likes,
and Hollywood men aren't.

"Hollywood — despite the scandal sheets
— is a perfect place for married people," she
says, "but it's terrible for unattached girls.
Hollywood men want to be wooed. They
pout unless a girl runs after them all the
time and flatters them. You have to take
the initiative and do all the courting. I
guess they're used to it — they've been so
spoiled. Instead of acting like men, they
let women usurp their prerogatives — in fact,
they insist on it."

Looking at Bette's unwinking eyes and
listening to her sound philosophies, you can
almost believe she will be able to achieve
the miracle of experiencing success in Holly-
wood without discarding most of the things
she valued in her past life. If she does, hers
will be one of the few pre-Hollywood ro-
mances that has not been undermined by
a few years in the movies.

Bette has worked other wonders in her
life. She cured herself, years ago, of a hor-
rible squeaky voice that threatened to keep
her off the stage forever. In the same effi-

cient way she overcame thi t »a>

"Nobody met me at the train," she re-
members, or so I thought. They did come
igraphers and reporters, but
they didn't see anyone who looked like an
so they went home. Imagine their
chagrin when i turned up at the studio!"

Universal just gave up with a sigh, and
put her in dowdy rules. Nobody tried to do
anything with her, and she didn't have sense
enough to try herself. It was only when she
went to Warner Brothers' that she realized
her possibilities, and fussed with her hair and
clothes until something distinctive was a-
chieved. And until George Arliss insisted
on her being in "The Man Who Played God"
and then pronounced her the most promis-
ing youngster on the screen. Now look at
her. She's vying with Joan Blondell and Ann
Dvorak in "Three on a Match."

So, by a gradual process, the true Bette
Davis has emerged — complete with clothes,
personality, and love-life.

harm might come to her.

Metro officials could not explain her dis-
appearance. It was known that she

Will John Gilbert's Fourth Wife
Be Virginia Bruce?

(Continued from page 43)

marriage and the grief and gallantry of Ina
when, again, two and two did not make
four for Jack.

I thought of Lupe and of the simoom that
seemed to envelop Jack when he first met
her. I thought of the Hawaiian Princess and
other, less well-known women who have
loved John Gilbert, who still love him.

I thought, too, of the bewilderment John
must have known, at life, at love, at the
passions that have left him unsatisfied, at
the peace he has never known.

A dangerous spot, I felt, for a young and
unsophisticated girl to stand upon — in be-
coming the fourth Mrs. John Gilbert.
Quicksand, perhaps. Dangerous rivals,
these living ghosts of the famous and fiery
women Jack has loved and may not have
forgotten. Only one thing could make
this spot secure [for Virginia Bruce, only
one thing could give her the chance to
make it last — LOVE. They have it.

It is possible to believe that Jack, adven-
turing here and there through the years,
may have been seeking and never finding
the girl he really needed. It may well be
that in this girl he lias found the one he
wants, the one he needs.

Watched Him from Afar

FOR the past ten months Virginia Bruce
has been on the Metro lot. For the past
ten months, off and on, she has seen Jack
in the commissary, on the sets. And she
said, " It's a funny thing . . . but every time
I saw him I had just one thought. I thought :
'Oh, I want him to come back again! I
want him to be as great as he used to be. I
want him to come back!' I never dreamed
I'd meet him. I never thought I'd know
him. I always had just that wish for him.

"Then, sometimes, in the commissary,
I'd happen to look up and I'd catch his
eye. You know what flashing black eyes he
has. And every time I met his eyes, a slunk
would go through me. I couldn't look at him.
I've never felt anything like it before."

"You were in love with him even then?"

"I must have been," she said, with that
directness that makes her honest and poign-
ant. "I know that 'way back in the days
when I was a child in Fargo I used to see
him on the screen. In 'The Merry Widow'
and 'The Big Parade,' and others. I was
always crazy about him. It seems like a
dream now, that this should have happened
to me. It just doesn't seem possible."

I said, "What was the very first time you
did meet him? How did it happen?"

"Well, you see, they made tests of a lot
of girls for the part of Jack's leading lady
in 'Downstairs,' the story he wrote about
the servants' quarters in a big mansion.
They made some tests of me. Monta Bell,
the director, liked them and so did Jack.
They sent for me to go to Jack's dressing-
room bungalow to meet them. Mr. Bell
introduced us. And I was chosen for the
part. That very first day, Jack asked me
to go to his house to play tennis. I couldn't
go that afternoon, so he asked me to come
the next afternoon and I did. That first
night, too, I found a big box of red roses
waiting for me when I got home.

How John Proposed

THAT next day we played tennis and
since then we have been together every
day and every evening. Before that first
week was over, Jack asked me to marry
him. I didn't think I could be hearing right.
It happened on a Saturday afternoon, right
out in the broad dayl.ght. We were sitting
near the pool, at his house. And we were

sitting quite far apart. Jack was talking to
me. Suddenly he said, 'I want you to marry
me, Virginia. I want you to be my wife.'"

The girl's blue eyes filmed with happy
tears. Her hand made a gesture as if to say
that she couldn't go on. She had no words
for this thing that had happened to her.

"Everything about our love affair has
been on the up and up," she went on after
a little. " I can tell you that. Itisreal. I know
it. We both know it. It isn't calm, exactly —
you couldn't call it that. But it is certain.
I know that I want, more than anything
else, to make him happy. He hasn't had
much happiness, poor darling. I want to be
a good wife to him and I'm going to try to
be, with everything that's in me. He seems
to feel that I understand him, that we
belong to each other.

"We are going to live in his house. Why
not? It's beautiful and it has everything.
We're going to have children, too. That's
one thing I am positive about. I wouldn't
think of going through life without two
babies, at any rate.

"We'll both go on working, I think. Jack
wants me to continue. He believes in me.
He says I have — what is it? — oh yes, 'a
quality of definiteness.' He knows so much
and I know so little! He is so much and I
am such a nobody by comparison. I feel as
if I must keep standing on tiptoes, looking
my best, being my best for Jack.

Will Go Away to Marry

I THINK we'll be married somewhere
away from here. Jack wants to fly,
but I'm a little bit afraid, afraid we might
both be killed. And we hope to go abroad,
perhaps for a honeymoon trip, in Sep-
tember ..."

The more she talked, the more I felt that
I was listening not only to the fourth Mrs.
Gilbert, but to the last one. She made me
feel the simple truth of her first statement —
that definite "we fit." She made me feel
the "quietness" she is giving him.

She will give him a home — and now he is
ready for one. She will make this house of
his a home because she is one of those
women who do make homes for the men
they marry. She will give him children
because she is essentially maternal.

She will give him that adoration without
which he could not be expected to live.
She is not temperamental. If there ever
comes any choice between his career and
hers, his wishes and hers, there will be no
question about it. He is to be master and
head of his house. She will give him com-
plete control over her life, personal and
professional.

She told me of the first real "date" they
ever had. It was for a party at Dolores Del
Rio's. She wanted to look so nice for Jack.
She didn't feel that she had anything good
enough. She went to the wardrobe depart-
ment in the studio and they fixed her up
with a white crepe gown, slippers and
accessories to match. She wondered, rather
anxiously, whether satin might have been
better than crepe . . .

She told me of the night Jack came to see
her family, one night when she had had to
go out. Of the things Jack said about her,
about their marriage and the things he plans
for it. Her mother, her Dad, and her young
brother think he is "simply wonderful."
Everything is in order, regular and accord-
ing to Hoyle, not Hollywood.

They are in love. They are dreadfully in
earnest. It is the first love of Virginia's life.
It may be — who knows — the first of Jack's.

I think I talked to the last Mrs. Gilbert.

"In London, the drama reviewers panned
her play, but hailed her as one of the most
talented young actresses to come out of
America. She was invited to the Palai e to
meet the King and Queen. When Metro
signed her up in New York a few months
ago, she was overjoyed that she was going
to have the chance to be on her own.

"When she saw herself on the screen, her
heart sank. She felt that her costumes were
not suited to her, that her make-up was
bad, and that the arrangement of her hair
was unbecoming. Margaret has rather a
large head and always wears her hair
simply, but in the picture they harl it curled
in a great mop, making her look top-heavy.
I am speaking from what she told me, under-
stand. I didn't see the preview of the pic-
ture because she wouldn't let me know the
date when it was to be shown.

" When she read that review, with its sug-
gestion that she was not pretty enough to
photograph well and its prophecy of failure
in pictures, the thought that she had failed
hurt her pr - real tragedy to her.

mother. I don't know what she will do. She

Mae CIarke*s Breakdown Will Not
End Her Career

{Continued from page 41)

effect: "Nothing ever happens to me. Gee,
but I'm tired of it all!"

Probably the Fates overheard Mae's com-
plaint, and one might imagine them saying,
"Oh, is that so? We'll just see about that" —
and pulling out the gadget on Life's switch-
board that is marked "Action," which set
things to happening pronto. For Mae went
back to the boardwalk restaurant where she
was a waitress — can you see her, with her
blonde hair, brown eyes, snappy, petite
figure even at fifteen, and the little starched
blue costume? — and was fired for being ten
minutes late.

"See if I care," remarked Mae. "I was
getting tired of the smell of root beer and
ham, anyway. I guess that makes me a
dancer."

Had Jealous Rivals Even Then

MAE tossed her head and walked out a
free — and unemployed — girl. You
see, Mae had been attending Dawson's
dancing school in Atlantic City in between
school and the restaurant, so she wasn't just
talking. She meant it, and she had appeared
in some of the dancing school affairs and one
civic festival. And within two days she met
Earl Lindsay, a New York stage producer,
who engaged her to go into the chorus of a
new revue in the big city.

Now, if Mae had gone home and asked
her parents if she could go to New York for a
chorus engagement, the chances are that
there would have been a family conference
and she wouldn't have got much farther
than the front yard — but she didn't. She
merely announced that she had a job and
was going, and before the family recovered
from the shock, she was gone. But —

"Sorry I can't put you in that show,"
said Lindsay, when she landed in his office
the next day. You see, nothing was happen-
ing. A week later, she was dancing in the
chorus at the Strand Roof on Broadway.
Another girl had come with her from home
and got a job at the same time. Mae started
in the back line and danced herself into the
front line. Then she got her first disillusion-
ment. The friend became jealous because
she did not get promoted, too. Three days
later, Mae's mother appeared at the Strand.

"You pack your things and come right
back home," was the maternal greeting.
"Aren't you ashamed — and him with a wife
and three children?"

Mae's jealous friend had written Mrs.
Clarke that Mae had fallen in love with the
trap drummer and should be taken away
from the dreadful Broadway life. As Mae
was dimly conscious that there was a trap-
drummer and had never spoken to him, this
could be classed as a sort of shock. But back
she had to go to Atlantic City. Nothing kept
right on happening. However, a little later
she overcame the parental objections and
went back to dance at the Everglades Club
and then at the Yanity Club. And when I
say she danced, I'm not hunting for a word.

Broken Ankles Saved Her Life
"' I HE work was awful," she told me.

JL "I've forgotten how many times we
danced ordinary days and nights, but it was
plenty from dinner to midnight. On Satur-
day and Sunday we danced twenty-four
times and changed costumes for each dance.
Then I broke both ankles, and that was a
good thing, because if I hadn't I'd have just
danced myself to death."

By this time she had found Barbara
Stanwyck and Walda Mansfield, and when
Mae was well again, Anton Friedlander
signed them for a musical revue. Carter
De Haven, former screen comedian, saw the

three and painted a picture of Hollywood
that ranks him as one of the great fictionists
of the age. He signed them to come here,
but before they could get on a train Willard
Mack wanted them for "The Noose" which
he was putting on. He unpainted most of
Carter's picture, and they stayed in New
York.

"I wasn't crazy about the play, so I
moved over to George White's ' Manhattan
Mary,' " Mae reminisced. "Then I met Lew
Brice and went into vaudeville with him.
In the act I played a girl who made a million
betting on horse races and paid it all out for
a husband. I suppose the idea infected me
because I married Lew. Nothing much
happened, however, and we decided to
separate and I got a divorce."

You notice that "nothing much hap-
pened"? Well —

Suppose you were nineteen and living in a
Hollywood hotel with your husband and the
two of you were — er — disagreeing about
whether you'd do more pictures or no
pictures. And — suppose a neighbor sud-
denly 'phoned the police that a man was
chasing a girl down a fire escape. You see,
it would all be just a drab, uneventful,
stolid sort of life. Well, and suppose, you
dashed into an unoccupied room and hid
under the bed, and then you 'phoned the
manager and he sent his wife up to take care
of you for the rest of the night and after that
you got a divorce. I say, suppose all that
happened, you wouldn't go around com-
plaining that nothing ever happened, would
you? But Mae Clarke would, believe me.

Romance? She Isn't Saying

WHEN she signed her Universal star-
ring contract, she bought a home at
Westwood on the edge of Beverly Hills and
brought out her father, mother, brother and
sister to live with her. And she's something
like Greta Nissen in one way; she's not much
of a party girl. She says she's too busy.

Romance? She won't talk about it much.
Once she was engaged to marry John
McCormick, Colleen Moore's former hus-
band and director, but she cried off and in a
huff John married a lady in Honolulu — and
separated from her quickly. Now the match
seems to be on again, for Mae and John go
places together.

Shortly before her breakdown, she went
with John to the theatre one evening. After
the show, they went backstage because John
wanted to talk to Fannie Brice, whose play
they had seen — and when Mae walked into
Fannie's dressing-room, she found Lew
Brice, her former husband and brother of
Fannie, sitting in a chair!

I tried to learn if there was anything to
the rumor that she and Lew might get
together again, and Mae's brown eyes took
on a softer look.

"No," she said. "Lew's a nice boy and he
says nice things about me, but he's terribly
quiet and restrained." And she looked me
straight in the eye when she said it ! What
are you going to do with a person like that?

Will she and John marry? John looks
wistful and yearning. Mae looks as if she
hoped something would happen — even a
wedding. While waiting, she has been
writing tragic poetry and working on a play.
I haven't seen the play, but I'm sure it's
filled w-ith gangsters, shipwrecks, fires, ex-
plosions, wars and things happening.

Mae Calls It Hard Luck

IT'S funny, but I don't seem to get the
interesting roles in pictures," says
Mae. "They're not pleasant, if you under-
stand what I mean; not attractive and

Three days later, Mae got her wish. She
had been dieting rigorously and working
long hours through eight pictures, and then
her nerves and her tired body had rebelled.
Mae was admitted to a private hospital to
get a complete rest. The doctors said that
something happened, all right. She just
broke down from overwork.

Marlene Dietrich's Husband Rushes to
Her Rescue Like One of Her Heroes

(Continued from page 44)

no particular reason to get excited about
Marlene's friendship with von Sternberg —
why should anybody else?

Without really doing anything about it at
all, Herr Sieber turned the tide of public
sympathy back to Marlene at a time when
it was highly important that she retain that
sympathy. The flurry died down, the
embers of gossip turned to ashes, and in
time, Herr Sieber took his leave. Soon
afterward, Marlene got a retraction from
her foreign interviewer, and Mrs. von
Sternberg withdrew her suit.

Rudy Returned in a Hurry

THERE were no reporters or photog-
raphers on hand, to record the de-
parture of Rudy Sieber from Hollywood.
(There had been many of them to witness
his affectionate reunion with Marlene and
Josef von Sternberg upon his arrival.)
He merely went back quietly to his direc-
torial work in France and there was little
more heard of him until —

Trouble once more reared its head upon
Marlene's career.

This time the difficulty lay not in the
realm of affection, but in the cold, cold
world of business. Marlene and von Stern-
berg had written a "beautiful "(Von's own
description) story of a lady of the evening.
Paramount, slightly alarmed at the censor-
able features of the story, had set to work on
what von Sternberg later referred to as
"operations" — with the result that both
Marlene and Josef did their now famous
"walkout."

The strained relations lasted just long
enough for Rudy Sieber to make a flying
trip from Paris to his beautiful and dis-
tressed wife's side. While von Sternberg
traveled off to New York in what looked
like a huff, Rudy and Marlene remained in
Hollywood and gained innumerable allies to
Marlene's cause.

The picture of the happy young couple
sun-tanning themselves on the beach at
Marlene's home, romping with their young
daughter, and entertaining at informal
Sunday afternoon parties created a new
version of Marlene in the Hollywood mind.
Hardened gossip-writers, many of whom
had never been privileged to glimpse this
softer side of the inscrutable German girl,
took to their typewriters in glowing defense
of her stand.

Like a Hero in a Serial

RUDY SIEBER, as affable as before, did
. more than contribute his bit to the
new impression. The disinterested onlooker
got the idea that it just wasn't fair to pick
on a girl as swell as Marlene, with such a
nice guy for a husband as Rudy. We're not
offering the version that this picture of
devotion and domestic happiness had any-
thing to do with the thawing of the hearts
of the studio executives — but the upshot of
the rebellion was that Marlene, von Stern-
berg and Paramount called off their bat-
talions of lawyers and everything is as
bright again as one of those nice beach days
down at Marlene's. Once more, Rudy
Sieber had arrived to see his wife safely
and happily conclude one of her Hollywood
worries. And he has stayed on to ease her
mind about those kidnap threats, and to see
that both she and their little girl are
protected . . .

A very modern version, you might say,
of the old-fashioned nick-of-time hero who
always arrived on the scene just in time to
protect the heroine's honor or save her scalp

from where it had been strapped to the
railroad tracks by the dastardly villain.
Only the 1932 Hollywood version of the
same story has the hero and heroine mar-
ried, and the troubles are no longer confined
to the railroad tracks. Also, in place of
dashing up on the proverbial pony from a
mile or so away, Hollywood's nick-of-time
mates have been known to make dashes
(by steamer and 'plane) from such far-off
places as New York, London or Paris.

Rushed to Maurice's Rescue

WHEN rumor began to kick up dust
that the Maurice Chevaliers were on
the verge of divorce, Yvonne Yallee
Chevalier came all the way from Paris to
be caught by the news cameras affection-
ately kissing Maurice from the train steps.
You see, the Chevaliers had been so en-
thusiastically publicized as one of those
"happy, happy Hollywood couples" that
mean old divorce rumors might have had a
bad effect on Maurice's hold on the public.

We don't know why it is that a news
picture of a man and wife holding hands, or
kissing, or smiling at each other is supposed
to allay the suspicions of the public so
quickly — but it is a very popular legend in
Hollywood. (Ann Harding and Harry
Bannister were photographed at .their own
fireside just one week before the divorce
story broke.)

Mrs. Chevalier arrived just as the rumors
were kicking up the most dust. It was
being said that Maurice was interested in
first "this" actress, and then "that" one.
Because he was once seen dining at the
Cocoanut Grove with Marlene Dietrich,
both guests at a large dinner party, it was
supposed that Marlene was the object of
Maurice's affections. But Marlene had
been absolved of snatching Josef von Stern-
berg's affections too recently to make the
Chevalier rumors anything but just that —
rumors. Even the most suspicious-minded
couldn't go for the story that Marlene was
going around snatching everybody's affec-
tions at the same time.

Jeanette MacDonald's name crept into
the surmises when Marlene's didn't hold up.
But then Jeanette was hardly plausible,
either, because the folks were already sold
on the idea that Jeanette and her business
manager, Robert Ritchie, were secretly
married.

Before Mrs. Chevalier departed, most of
the talk had gone up in smoke, and while
some of the folks aren't exactly satisfied
that all is well between the fascinating
Frenchman and his wife, they have at least
stopped trying to pin the difficulty on any-
body in particular. With her nick-of-time
appearance as Maurice's devoted wife
accomplished, Mrs. Chevalier sailed back
to France, where she will probably remain
until something else happens.

Separated, But Always Handy

MIRIAM HOPKINS and Austin Par-
ker, though separated, maintained
for several months a delightfully interesting
study in the general "handiness" of
matrimony. Every time Miriam was on
the verge of being announced "engaged"
to any one of several Hollywood gentlemen,
she would be seen dining with her husband
just long enough to quell the gossip. For
more than a year Hollywood was in con-
siderable hot water about Miriam and
Austin. They were alternately supposed
to be madly in love with, first, each other —
and then a couple of other people.

ierfumed Linit Beauty Dath Instantly makes

Incredible as it may seem, the Linit Beauty Bath instantly makes
the skin feel soft and smooth — and gives a gloriously refreshed
sensation to the entire body.

While bathing in the Linit Beauty Bath, there is deposited on the
skin surfaces an extremely thin layer of Linit. After drying, this fine,
porous coating of Linit remains, which makes powdering unneces'
sary, ekminates "shine" from neck, arms and shoulders, harmlessly
absorbs perspiration and imparts to the body an exquisite sense of
personal daintiness.

Iry this Kcfrcshing Linit Beauty Bath

Swish half a package or more of Linit in your bath. Instantly the
water feels soft and "creamy". Step into this luxurious mixture,
bathe as usual with your favorite soap . . . then, alter drying, feel

THINGS have come to a pretty pass in
Hollywood. There are those who say
that the village never rests content until it
has broken up a romance. Bobbe Arnst,
the very delectable wife of Johnny Weiss-
muller, who has been making all the gals
pretty disgusted when their swains show up
in a bathing suit, is annoyed at all those
rumors about domestic upheaval in Tarzan's
household.

Frank Borzage, the Fox director, tried to
comfort her a bit. He told of his arrival in
New York, after filming "Cavalcade" in
London, and his interviews with the re-
porters.

"Anything new and scandalous about
you?" queried one scribe.

"Not a thing," answered Frank, truth-
fully enough.

"Hell!" said that disgruntled member of
the Fourth Estate. "Why don't you get a
divorce so you'll be good copy?"

NEW romances blooming in our midst,
as the country newspaper expresses it
so nicely — Billie Dove and Gilbert Roland,
and Marguerite Churchill and Gene Ray-
mond. Don't know what George O'Brien
does when Marguerite steps out with
another fella.

WHEN Universal releases its frozen
North story, "Igloo," there is going
to be a lot of interest in Chee-ak, the native
hero. Chee-ak seems to have a Gable per-
sonality, and with a Hollywood haircut (he
wears it now in a sort of Lily Damita bob
with bangs) and some store clothes he
could give many a cinematic idol a run for
the money. He is over six feet tall, pretty
high up in the air for an eskimo, weighs 180
pounds, and is 24 years old.

His life would make a Richard Harding
Davis novel read like one of the Elsie books.
He was born in Candle (it's always light up
there), 100 miles north of Nome, and was
educated in a Quaker missionary school.
Four times he has figured in motion picture
expeditions to the Arctic. He has been a
Hollywood cameraman, and during his
career has been postman, cook, waiter,
deckhand and marine engineer. His Holly-
wood name is Ray Wise.

Although he has been around the studios
quite a bit he does have trouble getting used
to our funny customs. Those hot love scenes
on the screen which cause the flappers to
swoon, only cause dismay to Chee-ak. A
good love scene in the Arctic consists of
rubbing noses. What a spot for Jimmy
Durante!

The studio workers who know Chee-ak
insist on teasing him about Hollywood
blondes. Chee-ak ,who can kill a polar bear
with one throw of the spear, would run if
he saw one of those synthetic golden-haired
babies. But he laughs good-naturedly.

AFTER that Beverly Hills bank closed,
. there was more weeping and wailing
than Hollywood has heard in years. Most
of the players kept personal accounts in this
close-at-home bank. Greta Garbo, Jean
Harlow, Wallace Beery and Robert Mont-
gomery are all said to have lost heavily.
Ont very well-known actress admitted that
she had just S2.25 to her name — all that
was left in her purse.

If Garbo really lost heavily, and first re-
ports say that she did, there are plenty of
people who will tell you that the Swedish

gesture of a spirit that is reaching out for
anything which is nearer to her ideals
Whether this gesture is practical and pos-
sible of accomplishment will not influence
her at the time of her decision. Therefore
she is apt to let her imagination rule her
actions and is not always sure which is
reality and which is just a dream, when her
emotions are an'

Good at Hiding Emotions

NOTICE also that some of her "a's" and
are open and some of them
tightly closed, even tied with an extra
stroke of the pen. This shows both emotion
and repression or caution in expressing her
emotions, giving us a person who can be
both ardent and cold, emotional and logical.
When you add to these characteristics her
generosity, which is shown by her reversed
lower loops, it is not strange that she was
willing to let her husband go from her so
that he could make a finer and better name
for himself.

I do not doubt that she suffered when
making this decision, and yet I feel sure that
she found a certain thrill in so doing — a thrill
somewhat akin to the pleasure which fana-
tics find in scourging themselves with
for the good of their cause or their
souls. Do not mistake me and think that I
am calling Ann Harding a fanatic or a
poseur. It is more a sub-conscious reaction
and lack of frankness, which she would
hesitate to admit even to herself and which
is lar different from fanaticism or deceit.

People of this intricately simple nature are
extraordinarily interesting; their character
is never commonplace and never easy to
understand. The sensitiveness which is so
pronounced and which makes her shrink
from pain or unpleasantness is strongly
governed by the mental, as well as the
emotional, side of her nature. Thus she will
often force herself along paths that are
really repugnant to her, or deny herself the
thing which she most desires,

Both a Fault and a Virtue

THIS is not so much unselfishness as a
fear of being considered unjust, mean, or
petty. She will often wonder why she has
Said or done a certain thing, but will be too
proud to explain or to alter her derision in
any way. This pride, which is shown in her
high and narrow capitals, is both a fault anil
a virtue. It makes her hale to accept defeat
and enables her to light for what .-lie wants
to have, but it also brings her some unhap-
in her personal contacts.

As she chant; i e into t lie mental t ype,

she will lose some of her sen .which

makes her thrill I" love, passion, beauty,

perfume, music, dancing, and all the •

esthetic luxuries. She will gain a keenm
thought and a mental satisfaction which will
bring her a more enduring enjoyment than

she t ould ever find in purely physical or

material contacts. She will loathe Stagna
tion, or the commonplace, and will light
desperately to get out of a rut; but there is a
queerly conventional streak in her nature

which makes her hate to be toi spicuous

and extreme. Her passions and appetites are
not eliminated, but held down in some de-
gree to suit the practical side of her nature.
She is a practical romanticist, as il were.

Ann's Hidden Talent

I WOULD like to see Ann Harding do
some creative work in her spare til
along literary lines, if possible. It might
take her some time, however, to lind tht

im in which to express herself — fiction
or plays. The words in her note to me have
the clipped letter formations and elimination
of beginning and ending strokes, which give
her the capacity to concentrate and to
think with accuracy. The flowing rhythm ol
her writing, her distinctive capital letters,
and her "Greek e," which is like a reversed
number three, show that she can express
herself fluently and with individuality and
has a love of culture. Whether she will be
able to use these talents or not will depend
somewhat on how soon she can harmonize
her conflicting characteristics. Some of her
upper loops are extremely high, showing that
she has plenty of ambition; but others are
unusually low, which indicates some dead-
ening of aspiration. This may be partly the
fault of the somewhat artificial life which is
apt to surround the stars of the stage and
screen. The ability to do good creative work
in writing is marked and I hope that she
will do this as an avocation, at least. Other-
wise she may find life too dull and unexciting
and thus turn to more erotic pleasures.

In her home life she will have a plain and
simple lose of family, and her house should
be pleasant and restful and in good taste.
As a wife and mother, she should be excel-
lent if she is not forced to busy herself con-
tinuously with the petty drudgery of house-
hold duties and the care of her child.

Needs Both Love and Solitude

d have the same
jpon her spirit as it would on a
race horse, if it were harnessed to a plow day
after day. The work might be done, but
there would be a breaking down of morale
and the ending would be tragic, I am afraid.
She will adore her child or children, but will
make a better job of motherhood if she does
iioi sic too much of them. W7hile she needs
much affection and recreation, she also needs
plenty of time to be alone with her thoughts
and her work. She is somewhat jealous,
i " en I hough she tries not to sin iw it, and will
seldom give up what she feels is really her
own, in spite ol realizing the futility ol her
attitude.

Vnd so we have Ann I larding -calm,

poised and self- possessed; and, underneath, a
bundle ol emotions which she is almost
afraid to acknowledge. With all her most
unusual charm and beauty, she will not
always firing happiness In t hose she loves, or

i" rn io hersell ai present. She is passing
through a transition stage and "growing
pains" are never pleasant. Her naturally
optimistic nature, however, will help her to

find the path to happiness, il she will call on
all of her real strength ol character. Winn
she can use her will power and i list be herself,

frankly and without self-questioning ami

lady will not be quite so anxious to retire
from the screen. That Pirandello play,
"As You Desire Me," may not be her last
for M-G-M, after all.

WHILE I'm on the subject of the
Garbo, that lady made one of her
rare excursions among the hoi-polloi not
long ago. She appeared with a woman
companion, at the luncheon hour in the
Roosevelt Hotel roof cafe. There must have
been an epidemic of stiff necks the next day,
for no one bothered to eat lunch. Waiters
served ham hocks to people who had ordered
caviar, and got the ice cream served before
the soup. No one knew the difference.

The Garbo gave not the slightest atten-
tion to her public. She carried on an ani-
mated conversation, and never looked to the
right or left. She wore the usual beret, a
blue one this time, with a white sports dress,
white slippers and white Angora short socks.

Too bad, but the autograph fiends weren't
tipped off to the presence of the great one
in the hotel.

DIANE SINCLAIR, who is foreign-born,
plays a Middle- Western girl in "Wash-
ington Whirlpool," and Karen Morley, as
native as Kentucky moonshine likker, plays
a foreigner in the same picture. Oh, well,
that's the way it is in Hollywood. If they're
going to do things like that I'd pay good
money to see Polly Moran as Catherine of
Russia.

YOU can talk about your movie pre-
mieres, but there was one of the
greatest all-star audiences in Los Angeles
history at the opening of "The Barretts of
Wimpole Street," Katharine Cornell's stage
play. Norma Shearer was there, with her
hair all braided up in a coronet. Norma, so
they say, may play the' Cornell role of
Elizabeth Barrett when the drama is brought
to the screen. Then there were Mary
Pickford, Douglas Fairbanks, Joan Bennett,
Jetta Goudal, William Haines, Evelyn
Brent and innumerable others. Ruth Chat-
terton and hubby, Ralph Forbes, were also
in the audience. Incidentally, the chatter
still goes about that all is not on the up-
and-up in the Forbes-Chatterton menage.

Katharine Cornell, be it known, is the
amazing lady who turned down one of the
most fabulous contracts ever offered by
Hollywood. She just doesn't want to be a
moompitcher actress. Think of it! It seems
to be a general feeling among her company.
Brian Aherne, the handsome Robert Broom-
ing of the play, has all the producers at his
heels. He says "no," politely, but firmly.

It is hard to imagine any woman of the
screen in the role of the fragile Elizabeth
Barrett which Miss Cornell has made so
moving and real.

I overheard Blanche Sweet make a sug-
gestion— and it's not a bad one.

"Why not Lillian Gish?" she asks.

WILL ROGERS, who has always
liked peace and seclusion around his
Beverly Hills ranch (imagine, a ranch in
Beverly Hills!) now has some famous
neighbors. Elissa Landi lives on one side of

Why He Wanted to Sue

BUT even though Ann and Hurry Ban-
nister may have had the highest
opinion of each other when they parted,

that was nut thi > the Shermans.

"She called me a fat old man and a ham
fell Sherman complained. Thai
seemed to be the part of his testimony that
annoyed him most. He added proudly that
he weighed only one hundred and sixty-one
pou ! .

"But you've dieted, haven't you?" asked
I lelene's attorney.

"That's my own business!" retorted the
worldly Mr. Sherman.

Then, you might say, the fun began.
Quite as openly as if Will Hays had never
come to Hollywood, Sherman and his wit-
nesses proceeded to draw a headline picture
imestic life among the movie stars.

"During the marriage," a secretary in-
formed the court, Mr. Sherman was af-
by liquor several times, but Mrs.
Sherman had the edge on him for the num-
ber of times — and she could carry more than
Mr. Sherman," he added, admiringly.
"And she could swear better, too."

Now this, whispered Hollywood, was
more like it! Tor Hollywood remembered
that exciting revelations had been expected
in the Jack Dempsey-Estelle Taylor
divorce — and hadn't come off. Kstelle had
said, "If Jack starts to be mean, I will,
too." But Jack decided not to be, and their
quiet separation by law may have started
the "civilized" divorcesof the moment. Now
they are said to telephone one another con-
stantly, and are — as is usual for divorced
s, ii not for married ones — the best of
friends.

As if to prove that he doesn't believe in
following any set fashion, Lowell Sherman
added to his other accusations the state-
ment that his wife read naughty books. To
it, a do/en of the sort of ribald
masterpieces that one reads behind the
geography book in school were brought
into the judge's presence. And to make the
affair more like a racy vaudeville skit than
before, two of the naughtiest were stolen
right out of the courtroom.

Lowell Backed Out

TIIIC following day it was Helene's turn
to tell her side of the business, and the
gallery for spei tators was Idled long before
the judge appeared. All Hollywood waited
lessly for news of development
understood thai the fighting Irish
blood ol the Costellos would not permit of
such insults without returning a few.

They were doomed to disappointment.
Either Sherman's friends kidded him over-
night that he was behaving more in the

manner ex| p than

itcd man-about-town of the
the g'H«l folks who
over I lolly :It that fur-

ther revelal : do the movie town's

reputation \lso, it was said that

shrugging its shoulders
about Mr. Sherman, implying that i
tract might nol be renew ■

And so, tl day, the eager watch-

ers in the gallery heard little except dull
legal proceedings. Just as 1 lelene took the
stand in the morning, her attorney' an-
nounced that she wished to tile a cross-
complaint and it was intimated that
Lowell wished to withdraw his suit.

An adjournment was taken till the after-
noon, while the lawyers rewrote their

and when Helene resumed the stand, the
proceedings were short and very, very
sweet. Her attorney asked her if she charged
cruelty in her cross-complaint,
that she did, explaining,

Helene's Mild Charges

"TV /f R- SHERMAN continually referred
1VJ. to me as his mental inferior and
said constantly that I was not a lit com-
panion for one of his mental attainment."
She permitted hersejf a smile, then added:
"He also said that he made a great mistake
in marrying me. He nagged me constantly
about my housekeeping." She further
testified that they had been married on
March 15, 1930. that she had left him last
November, and that a property settlement
had been effected.

That was all — and in no time at all,
Helene had her decree. So that even the
"furious" Sherman-Costello divorce battle
had terminated with soft words and sweet
music. It's the new style in Hollywood
divorces!

It was, at the end, almost as polite as the
Monte Banks' divorce. When Monte sailed
for Europe after that suit, his recently-
divorced wife was at the gangplank to hand
him a bunch of white gardenias. Cynics are
now calling that "the gardenia divorce."
Whether it will set a precedent for future
domestic rows remains to be seen.

Certainly, Hoot Gibson and Sally balers
are expected by Hollywood to end up in
divorce court — if only because they have
reached the stage of insisting that they
have no ill feelings toward each other and
are on the friendliest of terms. Ever since
Miriam Hopkins was so quietly divorced,
Hollywood has watched with suspicion all
couples who seem particularly devoted,
wondering it" they, too. are secretly getting
a "mail-order" divorce.

The "Kiss Divorce," "The Gardenia

Divorce, l"he Civilized Divorce" si

have come to Hollywood to stay. Future
testimony in divorce cases will no doubt
continue to read like letters of recommen-
dation. For while it tonka sophisticate to
stage a divorce scene thai was hotter than a
movie even the sophisticate went luke-
warm on the folks before it was over.
Perhaps this should be called "The Truce
Divon e."

Headline Career of Garbo — 1925-1932

{Continued from page 60)

December 5, 1930 — Picture of Garbo in
sun-bath garb, finally seen by some enter-
prising sleuth, turns out to be just a blur.

January, IQJI — Elinor Glyn declares
Garbo is a type that suggests eternity, a
woman who has lived and loved, with wist-
fulness in her eyes, as though she had
known much sorrow, yet still believes that
somewhere can be found joy and love.

January, 1931 — Writer draws pen picture
of "The Real Garbo at Home." After
stalking her for some time, discovers that
she likes puppet shows and quiet dinners,
and goes home after the theatre.

February, IQ31 — Garbo appears in third
talkie, "Inspiration," with Robert Mont-
gomery as co-star. Picture almost stolen by
Karen Morley, newcomer, say critics.

February, 1931 — "Is Garbo Through?"
queries film magazine. Despite denials,
rumors persist that she may go back to
Sweden soon.

March, 1931 — "Dietrich's Shadow on
Garbo's Path." All about the new Garbo
rival from Germany. Another magazine
story this month asks: "Did Director
Brown and Garbo Fight?" Purports to
tell the inside story of what happened on
the set during the filming of "Inspiration."
Brown has directed several of her successes,
but association is now rumored at an end.

April, 1931 — "Exploding the Garbo
Myth" is title of one Garbo story [this
month. Writer comes right out and says
she is bored with Garbo, finds her dull,
ordinary and petulant. Another magazine
headlines: "Here's the Real Garbo!" —
announces that she likes to whistle, uses no
paint or powder, never goes to dentist,
smokes non-nicotine cigarettes, and would
like to have a family of six. (Hollywood
permits itself a snicker at the last asser-
tion.) Another magazine headlines "Garbo
Lunches on Grapefruit," adding that the
star also likes romaine salad, caviar,
American cheese and black coffee.

May 16, 1931 — Waiter taken to psycho-
pathic ward of hospital because he believes
he is brother of Greta Garbo.

May 30, 1 93 1 — Newspaper columnist
announces that Garbo's most intimate
friends in Hollywood are Mr. and Mrs.
Harry Edington. He has been her business
manager for some time.

June, 1931 — "Is Garbo Doomed?" asks
magazine in big type. Sensation-writer
hints of strange fate hanging over star. Is
there secret tragedy in her life — is she well
— or has she pernicious anaemia? Another
magazine displays story called "Garbo —
Woman Without Love." Writer asks why
Greta has never fallen in love. ("Hasn't
she?" asks Hollywood.) Magazine that
published story, "Exploding the Garbo
Myth," in April, receives 15, 854 letters in
her defense from outraged Garbo admirers.

June 10, 1931 — Book called "The Private
Life of Greta Garbo" soon to be published.
Report is that Garbo will try to suppress it.

June 23, 1931 — Dispatches from Copen-
hagen say Garbo is to become wife of
wealthy merchant named Anderson. She
is quoted as saying: "Which Anderson?
They're as numerous over there as Smiths
in America."

September, 1931 — "Garbo Never Sleeps,"
headlines a magazine. Story tells how she is
troubled with insomnia, explains her long,
solitary walks.

October, 1931 — Garbo appears in "Susan
Lenox, Her Fall and Rise," with Clark
Gable, new "great lover," as her co-star.
Picture breaks theatre records in New
York.

December 28, 1931 — Garbo discovered in
New York, registered at fashionable St.
Moritz Hotel as "Gussie Berger, Chicago."

Reports describe her as disguising herself by
dressing "like a schoolmarm" and wearing
smoked glasses. Admits identity, but is
quoted as begging reporters: "Please leaf
me 'lone. I came here for joost a few days,
for fun. Then I go back to Hollywood to
work. Yes?"

December 29, 193 1 — Out for a brisk walk
in Central Park, New York, she is pursued
by reporters and other curious New Yorkers.
Escapes by dashing to a cab, and driving
away in haste. Reporters piqued, ask
publicly what all the mystery is about.

December 30, 1931 — Columnist reports
that Russ Columbo, orchestra leader and
singer, has been sending Greta big bouquets.
But New Yorkers who have spotted Greta
and Ramon Novarro together at exclusive
night-clubs suspect this doesn't mean a
thing to Garbo.

December 31, 1931 — Reporters, who have
now given up efforts to interview Garbo,
remark in their papers that it is strange that
Garbo's arrival in New York coincided with
opening of " Mata Hari, " her latest picture.
Especially with Ramon Novarro, her co-
star in the picture, also in New York.

January, 1932 — Magazine headlines:
"You've Been Wrong about Garbo . . . She
Has a Sense of Humor." Writer cites
incidents to prove it.

January S, 1932 — Passing through Chi-
cago on her way back to Hollywood, Garbo
is quoted as telling reporters: "I don't like
most people. No, I am not in love. No, I
am not ever to marry. No, I am not to stop
playing in the movies. They are my life to
me. I am happy to be far, far from New
York. They are so impolite in New York."

February, 1932 — A magazine reveals
"Garbo's Broken Love Affair" — the hither-
to unknown story of a romance of her early
days in Sweden.

February, 1932 — Garbo has moved from
$6oo-a-month home in Santa Monica.
Location of new home kept secret until two
small boys living next-door came running
into their own house with: "Mama, that
lady is out there in the yard without any
clothes!"

March, 1932 — "Is Garbo's Double Tak-
ing Her Place?" asks magazine. Story re-
counts recent Hollywood rumors, but does
not say they are true.

March. 24, 1932 — Newspaper columnist
remarks that it looks as if Garbo's "annual
threat" to go back to Sweden will be ful-
filled this time. Says star has all the money
she wants, and now wants only a little farm
in Sweden, and retirement.

April 6, 1932 — Same columnist now de-
clares that Garbo is planning her own pro-
ducing company in Sweden.

April 10, 1932 — Garbo said to have
applied for passport to Sweden. There is a
persistent report that she has lost heavily in
the crash of stock of the Kreuger match
syndicate in Sweden. Harry Edington, her
business manager, emphatically denies this,
and says her investments are all in the
United States.

April 13, 1932 — A six month's extension
on her visitor's permit has been granted to
Greta Garbo. Studio in suspense about
whether or not she is going to sign new
contract, now under consideration. Diffi-
culty is about salary. Star is reported to
want just double her present salary, with
studio feeling such a raise is unwise under
present business conditions. Compromise
being attempted.

April 12, 1932 — World premiere of
"Grand Hotel" in New York, with Garbo
(who has dropped the "Greta" for good
and all) in the role of the dancer, Crusin-
skaya. Critics hail picture as one of the
great films of all time, and have high praise

MarKTxaK

for < .arl>o. Praise for cast, however,
divided among five stars — Garbo.
Crawford, John and Lionel Barrymore, and
Wallace Beery.

I iu. 1032 — Newspaper reporter dis-
covers that Garbo is not in "Who's Who,"
and kids the editors on their oversight.

April 22, 1032 — London hears that I
Garl»o will leave Hollywood at the i
April and lie married to Wilhelm Soerensen
in Berlin in the early summer. He is same
young man who figured in romance rumors
in March, 1929. Harry Edington denies
that she is leaving Hollywood to marry
anyone. Her studio frankly announo
it does not know her plans.

April 23, 103 2 — Sven Garbo, brother of
star, denies in Stockholm that she is to
marry Soerensen. Soerensen, himself, asks
reporters not to print any more such
rumors — as it might endanger "a very
dear friendship."

-'0, 1032 — Harry Edington is quoted
as saying that Garbo will leave Hollywood
for Sweden within ten days.

June, 1032 — Magazine cover line, "The
Inside Story of Garbo's Great Success."
Writer claims that four men are responsible
for her fame and glamour. Says that Lon
Chaney suggested mystery to her; that
John Gilbert ad vised no interviews, to add
to the mystery; that Gilbert Adrian, the
M-G-M fashion designer, had dressed her
exotically; and that Cecil Howard, the
make-up artist, has brought out her facial
distinction. With her talent and this
assistance, Garbo has become the world's
most famous woman, says the writer.

June I, 1032 — Garbo's contract ends.
Studio presents her with fitted traveling
bag.

June 2, 1032 — Her latest picture, "As You
Desire Me," has its premiere — and critics
again acclaim her, most of them hoping out
loud that it will not be her last picture.
Reviewers find her more daring than usual.

June 3, 1032 — The First National Bank
of Beverly Hills closes its doors. Reported
that Garbo has more than a million dollars
in the institution.

June 6, 1032 — Harry Edington denies re-
port that Garbo's fortune is tied up in the
closed bank. Says most of her money has
been invested in I'. S. government bonds,
and that she has only a few thousand dollars
on deposit in the bank.

June 6, 1032 — Walter Winchell reports in
his column that Garbo left on "de luxe train
No. 530" Sunday morning at two o'clock.

June 8, 1032 — The "Garbo Rumor I )<•-
partment " at M-G-M denies departure and
also denies that there is any such train.
Says star is still in town.

June (/, 1032 — Reported that Garbo has
signed an agreement with Joseph P.
Kennedy, banker and former screen execu-
tive, to act under his management at
$15,000 a week. And he is reported to In-
dickering with M-G-M and Warner Broth-
ers for use of her services. Newspapers
hint that closing of bank may have brought
change in her plans.

July, TQ32 — "Will Garbo and Dietrich
Be Deported?" is the newest headline
query about Garbo. Magazine asks i|in-s-
tion after bill is introduced in Congress In-
Representative Dickstein of New York to
ban foreign talent from American films.
Article points out how many of the present
great stars we would never have seen if such
a law had been in effect.

Losing a Hundred Pounds of Husband

{Continued from page ?j)

might be wrong. 'You've been planning to
take out more life insurance, Paul,' I told
him. 'Why don't you go to see them about
it? If you pass a life insurance health
examination, you will know that you're all
right.'

"So Paul went to the life insurance people
and the doctors who had examined him ten
years before were amazed. 'You're younger
physically now than you were then, your
expectancy of life is longer, you're in splen-
did condition,' they told him. He passed
with a hundred per cent rating. And he'll
probably be mentioned in medical books
because he is such an unusual case. Men-
tioned again, I mean. He made the medical
books first when he weighed twenty pounds
at birth.

"The hardest part of this dieting business,
so far as I was concerned, was to mix
hospitality and diets. We are invited out a
good deal, of course, because of Paul's work.
But this is the way we managed: When Paul
had been out to a banquet or dinner party,
he made up for it by cutting down calories
the next day.

"He weighs himself morning and evening.
There is a normal two-pound gain during
the day. If he found himself going even one
pound over the normal variation between
morning and evening weight, he called a
halt on eating entirely until he was back
where he belonged. At home we simply
served our friends with what we ate our-
selves, and I didn't have any complaints.

"There's no reason why it should be
noticeable. That's the trouble with most
diets — they make mealtimes depressing. If
any of you ever dined at Paul Whiteman's
home before he was married, you know what
gargantuan meals he served, roasts that his
cook could hardly stagger under, and every-
thing else in proportion.

Lessening His Appetite

WELL, I started out serving huge
bowls of salad or enormous tureens
of soup for a first course. Nothing stingy-
looking. I had the table set especially
prettily, like a party every night, and then
in defiance to all etiquette we started off
with a gorgeous big salad. It certainly takes
the appetite away to eat a couple of helpings
of vegetable or fruit salad before dinner
proper. I used lemon juice and mineral oil
for dressing.

"The diet scheme, itself, was very simple.
No proteins and sweets at the same meal, no
starches and proteins at the same meal.
That's the secret. I'm sure I can't tell you
the scientific reason why these two combi-
nations make you fat, but they do. I didn't
let him cut out potatoes, or candy, or cream,
or butter, but I saw to it that he didn't eat
them in combinations with meats. I'd call
him up every afternoon and find out what he
had had for lunch before ordering our dinner.
If he had had a tomato and cheese salad
with a sweet dessert, I'd order a steak and
fruit for dessert. He always ate as much as
he wanted at every meal.

"But your stomach shrinks, you know,
after you've dieted a while. Last Christmas
Paul and I were invited out to an old-
fashioned dinner with all the fixin's — from
turkey and stuffing to mince pie and plum
pudding. Paul warned me, 'Margaret, I'm
going to fall off the food wagon. I'm going
to eat everything — two helpings!' And I
just said, 'Fine! Go ahead, dear!' I knew
what would happen and, sure enough, after
one plate of turkey, he looked across at me
ruefully and said, 'Can't make it, after all!' "

Paul Whiteman's amazing transforma-
tion in weight has made so much talk and
aroused such a storm of interest that A'lar-

garet is writing a book to tell the world how he
did it. It will be published in the autumn.
But the menu lists and calory tables do not
show all that Margaret Livingston has done
for Paul Whiteman. She has given up her
own career, which was at its height at the
time of her marriage — because she has
found that being the wife of the world's
greatest band leader is a full-time job.

"I had him get a manager to take the
worries of his business details off his mind.
I've been in business myself, you know —
I've run apartment houses — as well as being
an actress, and 1 know how a thousand and
one petty things can fret one. I've got an
entirely new idea of my sister since I married
Paul. She was always the one to take the
small burdens in our household, and now
that I'm on the telephone, or writing letters
about Paul's work all day long, I can
appreciate what she did for me. The boys in
the band heaped their business and domestic
troubles on Paul; his friends depended on
him for everything; he didn't know where he
stood financially. Why, do you know, after
he had his manager go over his tangled
affairs, he paid fifty thousand dollars of old
debts he didn't even know he had, in order
to start clear!

She's His Valet Now

"T PERSUADED him to get rid of his
JL valet, too. He didn't want to do that.
'Gosh,' he said, 'I hate to send George away.
Why, darling, he used to sleep on the floor
beside me when I was sick!' But a man
servant gets between a wife and her husband
— I couldn't be in the room with Paul while
his man was helping him dress. I wanted to
do those things for him, myself.

"I must admit I'm not the perfect valet
yet. Not very long ago Paul was dressing to
go out in the evening and I put his studs in
his shirt. I must have fixed them wrong for
he just glared at it and tore the whole thing
to shreds. Then he looked at me in a panic,
but I loved it. I've jumped on too many
hats myself when my work was worrying me
to mind a little temperament. 'I'll improve,'
I told him. 'Don't fire your new valet, Paul
— I'll learn.'

"Right now, I don't believe I'll ever go
back to acting. Paul is my job, and I like
my job! I want to be around whenever he
wants to talk or just be silent. No, there's
no prospect of a baby yet, though we did
read about one in the paper! But I hope
we'll have some. Paul has a gorgeous little
boy, you know, by his former wife.

"My friends would hardly recognize me
these days. Sometimes I'm in bed at nine
o'clock in the evening — for I can't attend
all of Paul's performances! I hardly recog-
nize myself. But I like it! I've had a hectic
life, you know — I've been places and seen
things, and night-clubs and restaurants and
parties aren't any novelty to me any more.
I can say truthfully to myself as I drop off
to sleep at nine, 'I'm not missing anything
worth while!'

"What I do miss is the grand shop-talk
with people of my own kind. So many of
Paul's friends are normal citizens, charming,
cultured, but not professional. I get along
with them marvelously, really, but when I
met Phyllis Haver Seeman in New York the
other day for luncheon, we fell into each
other's arms, and nearly wept, it was so good
to talk the language again. Phyllis has
given up her old life and has deliberately
chosen to live her husband's life. She's
happy, and awfully popular and successful
socially, and she doesn't want to come back
to Hollywood. But an actress who has left
the greasepaint is always a little homesick
the rest of her days."

Hon- ti famous ih(ovelist
Found Shelter

J' >ME years ago a genial voyager arrived in
New y irk, unannounced, late at night, from
' Hester, Pa. There was no vacant room
in The Algonquin.

The traveler explained that he had given
The Algonquin as his address for important
engagements, telegrams and mail. In spite of
ite requests for shelter the weary nov-
elist had to be refused.

Inquiring for the head man he was ushered
in to Frank Case's office.

"It seems I cannot get a room here." he
said quietly. Then added, "My name is
Hergesheimer."

"Not III Hergesheimer?" said Case.

"Well, at least a Hergesheimer," replied the
tired traveler.

" Did v.ju write "Java Head?" inquired Case.

"Yes."

"You can have any room you want. Mr.
Hergesheimer. You can have my room. You
can have a whole floor."

Anil thus began the first of the 4,392 visits
that the famous novelist had so far paid to
The Algonquin.

THE ALGONQUIN IS SITUATED AT

Why Genevieve Tobin
Has Never Married

(Continued from page j<5)

scrict faith, she subscribes seriously to all of
her church's tenets. Marriage, for < iene-
vieve, must be indeed "as long as ve both
shall live

S i -ings, dances and plays the harp. She
doesn't stipulate that the Lucky Man will
have to play the harp, but she does very
emphatically state that he will have to be
able to do practically everything else and do
it well.

"He must be able," she told me, "to play
golf and tennis and polo, lie must be able
to swim and to know good books and wines.
He must have a charming manner, though
he must not kiss my hand. He must be a
connoisseur of living and loving." She threw
wide her very' slender arms in a pair of blue
Harry Collins sleeves and cried, "Am J not
worthy of the best!1" (Acting — how ( Genevieve
loves it!)

Wants a Man of the World

SHE must have a man who has traveled,
who knows the world. She has traveled
extensively and it would be a crushing bore
to be married to any man who could not
discuss the Eiffel Tower with her as the
Eiffel Tower should be discussed.

She loves clothes — and lots of 'em. The
man she marries must not only love and
appreciate clothes, too, but also love to see
her in them and dote upon paying for them.
He must be able to laugh at bills, as well as
coos; and he must make out checks as gaily
as he sings in his morning tub.

She adores kidney saute and loathes egg-
plant. The man she marries must likewise
worship kidneys (sauteed) and turn a cold
shoulder on eggplant. She sleeps in pajamas
and loathes nightgowns. If there breathes a
man with soul so dead that he could quibble
with Genevieve over nighties versus jam-
mies, let him cross his own name off the list
this instant.

She'd rather drink champagne than beer
any day in the week. Need I mention again
that a champagne check-book is not a
luxury, but a prime necessity?

She's awfully fond of her mother and her
sister, Vivian, and of her two brothers. Her
mother "spoils" her, as all good mothers do.
She brings her luncheon to the studio and
cuts it up into dainty tid-bits that do not
disarrange the lip-goo on her mouth. The
man she marries must be aware of such
thoughtfulnesses. The many males who are
perusing this story now should immediately
jot them down before daring to propose.

She Won't Do the Cooking

SHE never toots. Nor does she ever intend
to. The man she marries must be able
to engage a chef or turn to and fry an egg,
himself.

She never diets. The man she marries will
never have to eat his meals to the calory
chorus. Nor does she have any secrets of
beauty. Her beauty is no secret and her
husband will be subjected to no shocks,
either of pain or of pleasure.

she admires Greta Garbo profoundly.
The man she marries should admire Miss
Garbo, too. Because a household garbo-
vided against itself must fall. Genevieve
admires Greta more as a woman than as an
actress. She thinks that she has stood for a
line dignity, both in her contacts with 1 1 oily-
wood as a whole and also with the Press.
She believes that players should maintain a
certain aloofness, a certain mystery. That
is why, she tells me, pictures go so much
better in places where the players are never
seen. Familiarity, says Miss Tobin, breeds
contempt — at the box-office. Out in the

. . . Wouldn't you
like to acquire a dainty, youthful figure it'
you could do it SAFELY, and without the
slightest fuss, bother or inconvenience?

Here, at last, is the reducing news for which you
have waited. In an essay entitled "A Reliable and
Harmless Way to Diminish Over-Fatness," the late
Dr. William T. Cathell, of Baltimore stated that if
any person weighing less than 300 pounds, with sim-
ple uncomplicated over-fatness, would drink the
waters of two famous springs alternately each day.
after every meal, he or she would not onlv lose fat
gradually and SAFELY, but without leaving wrinkles
bagginess, or crows-feet, and without affecting the
muscles, nerves, glands or strength. Dr. Cathell
cited case after case to prove the remarkable re-
ducing powers of these waters. One patient lost
thirty pounds in six months; another reduced 21 ';
pounds in eleven weeks; others reported losses of 22
pounds in 12 weeks; 22 J£ pounds in 13 weeks; 9
pounds in 6 weeks.

It is no longer necessary to go to the famous
springs in Germany and France to obtain the fat
reducing benefits of these waters. A famous chemist
has succeeded in producing an exact reproduction in
formula of their mineral content in the form of dainty
tablets. When dropped into a glass of water, these
tablets produce a sparkling drink, pleasant to take,
and particularly refreshing. These tablets, appro-
priately named "SAIF" can be obtained only direct
from the exclusive American distributors, by mail. Ir
is not necessary to send any money in advance. Sim-

wider-open spaces, one does not rub elbows
with Clark Gable "or with Genevieve
Tobin," and the interest is better sustained.

She believes that all women should main-
tain a certain mystery — whether they are on
the stage or in the boudoir. And that goes
for husbands, too.

She never eats before going to bed. Nor
does she ever read at bedtime. The man she
marries must go through the same schedule
of physical and mental sustenance or a
conjugal conflict will ensue.

No Headline-Hunters Wanted

THE man she marries must not be a
celebrity-hunter. Because, when she
does marry, she will cease to be a celebrity.
She will stay at home and rock the babies
and count the laundry.

She is not interested in politics, either
domestic or international. She has no objec-
tion, however, to wedding a politician. In
fact, she rather favors them. She has a cer-
tain penchant for being a power behind the
Throne — just far enough behind to be
comfortable.

She is a Snob. She admits it. The man
she marries must have a Family Tree with
plenty of leafy branches and the blood that
runs in his veins must be unmixed and a
cerulean blue.

The heroine of "Hollywood Speaks" loves
Hollywood, but doesn't want to live there
after marriage. (Home-town boys, please
note.) She thinks Hollywood delightful, but
a little mad and the taste displayed on most
occasions a little bad.

She'd like to live in England — in the
country. If the Prince of Wales is still free,
single and white when this is printed, he
might start redecorating Windsor Castle,
which is Out of Town.

She is unlucky at cards. Bridge players,
either auction or contract, are OUT.

She has no moles or other skin defects.
The man she marries must be likewise
without blemish. When pressed for his
physical characteristics, she sang, not said,
"Oh, he must be tall — he must be dark —
and very, very strong!" (The atmosphere
at that moment was rather "One Hour With
You"-ish.)

Her favorite perfume is exotic and she
likes plenty of it. Slathers and slathers. The
man she marries must Care About Perfume,
in a big way. On her person, not on his.

He'll Have to "Take It"

SHE'S very frank and outspoken when
she knows a person well. She expects to
know her husband very well, and so the man
she marries must like plain-speaking and the
honest truth even when it hurts.

When she gets angry at home, she Throws
Things. Any things. The man she marries
must be a runner-up for champion shot-
putter and he must also be an Artful Dodger
of no mean ability.

She's given to moods, and the man she
marries must NOT be given to moods. It's
all very simple.

We are not running a matrimonial agency
but— WANTED FOR GENEVIEVE TO-
BIN— a man with the money of a Rocke-
feller, the culinary ability of a Parisian chef,
the power of a Mussolini, the athletic
prowess of an Olympic Games Hercules, the
literary values of an H. L. Mencken, the
good taste never to 'mention eggplant, the
thoughtfulness of ten movie mothers rolled
into one, a preference for pajamas as op-
posed to nighties, a stomach that will not
brook food at bedtime, a detestation of
Bridge, a man without moles or other de-
fects of pocket-book or person.

In a word: A man with the virility of
Clark Gable, the intelligence of Leslie
Howard, the dignity of Clive Brook and the
sheer nerve of James Cagney — if these men
were gods, not men.
