Picture Play Magazine (Mar-Jul 1929)

Advertising Section 111 She possesses a slight dash of Greta Nissen's verve, with a touch of Greta Garbo's mystery, yet maintaining a distinct personality of her own. Though born in Sweden, of Swedish and Norwegian parents, Greta came to America when she was three years old. She is clever and brainy, having written a lot of poetry. She is also a living proof that Scandinavians are not icicles — at least, not all. If you saw "Road House" you must have noticed a new juvenile — Warren Burke, just twenty-one, and single. Well, girls, his parents are the stars of vaudeville and musical comedy, John and Dorothy Burke. But all the stage experience their son got was in stock companies during the summer holidays. He was born in Boston, but has lived mostly in Seattle, Washington. Here he studied at the university to become a journalist. Imagine how misdirected his artistic temperament was ! Two years ago, while his father was playing in Los Angeles, he was signed by Mack Sennett. Then followed bits for Paramount. He had a test taken for a role in "Chicken a la King," but failed to get it. Fox officials were willing to make the boy happy, however, and gave him the part in "Road House." But his big break has come now, for he is playing in Murnau's new production, "Our Daily Bread." To quote from his biography, "Burke is a clean-cut American boy, and stands almost six feet high. He has" — take notice, girls — "brown, wavy hair and blue eyes." Now expire ! Only eighteen years old, Dorothy Janis is under contract to MetroGoldwyn. She was born in Dallas, Texas, and has Cherokee Indian blood. Traveling in the United States and Mexico, studying singing" and dancing, Dorothy finally arrived in Los Angeles. A friend got her in the Fox studio, where tests for "Fleetwing" were being taken. When you see "Fleetwing" you will see Dorothy Janis play opposite Barry Norton. Then Metro-Goldwyn signed her, and cast her opposite Ramon Novarro, in "The Pagan." This girl is tiny, not five feet tall. She has black hair and very large, dark-brown eyes. Newcomers such as these' seem destined to be stars of the immediate future. Janet Gavnor and Charles Farrell started the invasion of youth in "Seventh Heaven." Now that you know what I mean by the radical change in Hollywood, you may keep your eyes on these young people, and watch them invade the stellar territory. 5nnnoo jUUU of Prize j AM going to give away ABSOLUTELY FREE, more than $5,000.00 worth of wonderful prizes, consisting of an 8-cylinder Studebaker A Sedan, a Chevrolet Sedan, two Phonographs, a Shetland Pony, a Radio* a Bicycle, Silverware and many other high grade articles of merchandise —besides Hundreds of Dollars in Cash.
