The New Movie Magazine on the screen since 1910. One of her most recent roles was that of an old gypsy hag in John Barrymore's "General Crack." She is a graduate of the College of Notre Dame in San Jose, California, and of Mills College, Oakland. Her mother's brother J. Neely Johnson, was one of California's first governors. ONE of Hollywood's outstanding specialists, and finest characters, is "Pardner" Jones, who admits only upon close questioning that back in Arizona years and years ago he was christened Edgar. Pardner is recognized generally as the best marksman in the business with a .44 Winchester. This mild, steady nerved son of the plains is the one rifleman whom stars and extras alike will permit to plunk holes through their hats and buttons from their vests before the camera. Pardner gave up his cattle ranch in the Salt River Valley of Arizona fourteen years ago to enter pictures. He did the "close" shooting attributed to Ernest Torrence and Tully Marshall in "The Covered Wagon." One of the highest ranking specialists is Mrs. Hilda Grenier, technical adviser on matters pertaining to European royalty. Her intimate knowledge of court life, and of what queens talk about while they're powdering their noses, was gained through five years of close personal attendance upon the present Queen of England. She also spent five years with the late Duchess of Saxe-Meiningen, eldest sister of the Kaiser. One Hollywood specialist has gone on strike. He is Frank Dunn, stage actor who has sickened of playing nothing but butler roles during his five years in the film city. "No more butler parts for me," he says. "I've announced, 'Madam dinner is served,' for the last time." Edgar Norton is another and even better known butler specialist. RESEMBLANCE to George V. of England naturally has thrown George Herbert Van Dyke into the position of one of the screen's most prominent diplomats. No really distinguished gathering of screen statesmen is complete without Van Dyke. Listed in the Standard Casting Directory is Dick McQueen, hustling young 19-year-old talking parrot, who also sings grand opera. His advertisement states he has been fourteen years before the public. Mrs. Ulysses Grant McQueen bought Dick when he was a few months old. His vocabulary includes 400 words, all of which can be used in polite society. According to Mrs. McQueen, Dick, who has never been ill in his life, probably will live to the ripe old age of 165 years. BECAUSE of his extensive French wardrobe, his French speech and mannerisms, and the most beautiful set of whiskers this side of Paris, no French scene is complete without August Tollaire. This little ex-college professor plays nothing but excitable Frenchmen. And although it has nothing whatever to do with the story it should be recorded here that he gives those whiskers a milk bath every Sunday morning. Ben Hall has found few rivals in his successful quest for sympathetic young boob parts. Emory D. Emory and Chester Morton are the human skeletons. William Parmalee is always called upon when a "bearded woman" is needed in a picture. Jack Hoeffer specializes as a boomerang thrower, while Henry Lacey is paged whenever a boleadora thrower is wanted. John Impolito and Sam Angus are among Hollywood's leading gondoliers. Steve Clentos specializes as a knife (Continued on page 120) Tl M E TO GO but still time to use MlJM Those times when you must be ready in a jiffy! Just time to slip on your dress.
