“ MOVIES ” 35 include Madge Evans , Nat Pendleton, Ted Healy, C. Henry Gordon and Robert Montgomery. — James Cagney has another honor added to his publicity recently; now has a “swell shirt for men named after him. Nirenberg and Salzman, of East 26th Street, New York City, are “dishing out" the shirt in a variety of colors, and male film fans are falling for ’em like a ton of gravel on a bed of nasturtiums. Jimmy’s photo is being featured in all window displays of the James Cagney Shirt. One dollar buys a ten months' trial subscription to “Movies” magazine, if sent to the 20th floor, 1450 Broadway, New York, N. Y. . . . Bette Davis is soon to appear with William Powell in “ King of Fashion ” .' . . Ruby Keeler's next film is to be “ Sweethearts Forever,” a musical show with, of course, Dick Powell. Ruby's hubby, Al Jolson, is finishing up “ Wonder Bar” at Burbank, Cal. Thirty-one new pictures are in various stages of production at the Gaumont-British and Gainsborough studios, London, for release in America by Gaumont-British Corporation of America, New York, according to Arthur A. Lee. Cassie Hanley and Dorothy MacDonald both of the Hollywood ( Restaurant ) Revue, Broadway, Noo Yawk, may eventually land jobs in the movies. Good luck, girls! Joel McCrea and Frances Dee have been honeymooning in Washington, D. C. Miss Dee played the feminine lead in “Rodney,’ starring Walter Huston, which RKO Radio was producing on location at Fort Myer, V a. Fortunately McCrea is between pictures, so he will probably remain with the troupe until Miss Dee can return to Hollywood; she will arrive there about the time this issue of “Movies” comes off the press, and will go to the Fox lot for a picture, according to Julia Gwin, one of the ace writers of the film business. With the next issue there will be an increase of one-third in the number of pages in “Movies” monthly magazine, and new and interesting features will be added. The fashion pages by Mile. Claire Julianne Spieker will be retained for the women. Fredric March says he knows a pet Scotty who looks like Jim Tully. Tally, upon being told of this, said he teas flattered and added that he knows of a writer who looks like Fredric March . . . Richard Ralston Arlen, aged five and a half months, has cut a tooth. If the brunettes are clearly outnumbered by the blondes at the First National studios, at least they may claim one of Hollywood’s most striking brunettes in the person of Kay Francis. Aline MacMahon is a distinctive representative of the brunette type. Margaret Lindsay is an unusual example of dark-haired beauty. Ruby Keeler belongs on the brunette side of the roster rather than on the blonde side, though her hair is a rich brown. Ann Dvorak and Eleanor Holm complete the exclusive minority of brunette beauties at the Burbank studio among the stellar and featured artists.
