Pauline Garon has been playing in vaudeville and will soon be seen in several Warner films, "The Gamblers" and "Headlines." William Bakewell played William Haines' chum in "West Point." Joyce D'Arnell. — Give you Joan Crawford's life? Aren't you bloodthirsty! As to her life story, she was born in San Antonio, Texas — real name Lucille Le Seuer — and moved to Kansas City, where she worked to pay her tuition in a private school. When she was fifteen, she ran away to Chicago and joined a musical show. From there to New York and another show, when she was "discovered" for the screen. Nils Asther was disowned by his financier father in Sweden when, at sixteen, he became an actor. He played on the stage and screen all over Europe until, in February, 1927, he came to America. Ramon Novarro left his native Mexico when in his 'teens and joined the Marion Morgan dancers, with whom he toured in vaudeville in the United States. His first film role was in "Omar Khayyam," in 1921, and then Rex Ingram discovered 1 im. Anita Page's real name is Pomares ; Colleen Moore was born Kathleen Morrison ; Gilda Gray, Maria Michalski. The others you ask about use their real names. Ethel L. Cottingham. — Well, if you lived in Chicago for two years without getting shot, you ought to be safe now. Sorry, the magazine rules forbid my announcing new fan clubs, but I'll keep your Richard Dix Bee-line chapter on record. Joan. — By this time, you've probably seen the Ronald Colman story and picture in Picture Play for April. Yes, his first film — at least shown in America — was "The White Sister." He was born in Richmond, Surrey, England, but I don't know where he went to school, nor just which battles he took part in during the war. Gish-Novarro. — Rumors of an engagement between Elsie Janis and Ramon Novarro? Indeed, no! Elsie Janis is a big vaudeville star and many years older than Ramon. Dorothy Janis is a new screen player. As Lillian Gish no longer works for the same company as Ramon, I doubt if there is much chance of seeing them together on the screen. Ramon's "devotion" to Lillian is like that of one of her fans. He admires her, but they do not go about together. Robert Eckstein. — Nope, it's not true that David Lee is dead. Walter Hiers was born in Georgia; Betty Blythe and Carol Dempster, in California; Louise Dresser, in Indiana; Anne Cornwall and Kenneth Harlan, in New York; Jack Luden, in Pennsylvania; Georgia Hale, in Missouri ; and Robert Armstrong, in Washington. Ralph Forbes is not under contract now, but perhaps just "Hollywood, California," would reach him. Billie of Cornwall, Ontario. — Sorry, I don't know of a Charles Rogers fan club in Canada. Barry Norton was born June 16, 1905. Nils Asther comes from Malmo, Sweden. That's his real name, I think. The "Our Gang" comedies started about eleven years ago, with little Mary Kornman, Sunshine Sammy, Johnny Downs, Mickey Daniels, and Jackie Condon as the original principals. Fatty Joe Cobb joined the gang shortly afterward. There was never a Baby Eleanor among them.
