ESTELLE IDLER Dept. 23, 34 S. New York Ave.. Atlantic City, N. J. Page 56 POSED BY LYDIA YEAMANS TITUS AND JOHNNY ARTHUR IN "WELCOME VISITORS,” AN EDUCATIONAL-MERMAID COMEDY. Johnny — In the heat of an argument last night I struck the little woman, for the first time in our married life. Lydia — Oh, so that’s why you’re limping, eh? being a member of his college swim¬ ming team, captaining the boxing team and playing on the football eleven. His next pictures are “Fazil" and “The Red Dancer of Moscow.” O. K. — O. K., if you are as good as your name, you’ll sit right c}own and write that fan letter to your latest eye-lotion. The story goes that Sam Wood, the director, opened his door one morning a few weeks back and found a little girl there wrapped in newspapers in an otherwise empty bread basket. He took her in and she told him her name was Anita Page. Before the day was over, Sajn had signed her up to a movie contract, and now she’s acting for M-G-M in a film called “Three Dancing Daugh¬ ters,” Her sisters of the film are Joan Crawford and Dorothy Sebastian. Anita is a blonde girl who admits seventeen summers. Her mother stays with her because Anita wants her there. And now that you know what kind of a nice girl she is, go on and write that letter. She’s at the MetroGoldwyn-Mayer studios in Hollywood. P. V. — Percy Murmont is the laddie buck who was almost a good lawyer. It all happened when he was a grow¬ ing boy, growing hup in Hengland. His family, which had been noted for its professional activities, determined that he too should be one of the boys to stand up at the bar. But Percy chucked it one day and went to work the next week for less than a dollar a day at the business of acting like characters out of hooks. When he came to America eight years ago, he went into three pictures. Then he sailed away. Back again, a few years later, the producers still wanted him to act for them, and he signed up. Now he is under contract to Gotham Productions for Lumas Dis¬ tributing Company. R. S. — Another Kansan who is blow¬ ing her way through the movies is the black-haired panic named Louise Brooks. But as soon as she was old enough to pull the cockleburrs out of her hair, she gave the air to her na¬ tive state and joined the dancing school of Ruth St. Denis. It’s a long way from Topeka to Broadway, R. S., but piles of Topekans took a train East when their little home-town gal knocked out the eyes of down-fronters when she ap¬ peared in Ziegfeld’s Follies and “Louis the 14th,” Someone else took a train East about that time, too. It was a Paramount executive from Hollywood, and he signed Louise to a contract that has had her dragging her nifty torso through some nice scenery shots. Her next cinematic adventure, we hear, will be with Ruth Taylor, the blonde Loreli Lee of the screen, in a series of gold-digging comedies. Vital statistics: Five feet two; 120 pounds; jet black hair; dark brown eyes. Amen.
