John's latest full length feature is La Marsellaise opposite Luara La Plante. There is a chance that this title may be changed. Someone submitted to Universal the tide La Marseillaise in the CoU, Cold Ground. Yep, they shot him for it! FLORENCE — Vilma Banky was loaned by Sam Goldwyn to Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer for one picture, and that is A Lady to Love which is the new title from the play They Knew What They Wanted. Ann Harding is the mother of a chee-ild, who is still an infant in arms, although by the time you read this the infant may have taken her first step alone, without the help of her daddy — Harry Bannister. Miss Harding is one of the few blondes who has not bobbed her hair. Her eyes are gray and she has a range of five feet three inches with a weigh of one hundred and twenty pounds. V. G. — That blonde young man who helped Evelyn Brent take Moran for a sleigh ride in Why Bring That Up was Freeman Wood. Mae Murray's debut in the talkies is Peacock Alley, produced by Tiffany Pictures. The beautiful brunette known as Betty Boyd was in Corinne Griffith's picture Lilies of the Field. A FAN — Thanks so much for your good wishes. The Duncan Sisters like most woman are rather tight-lipped about their ages. The blonde one with the baby blue eyes is called 'Vivian, and the sister, who weighs a trifle less, answers to the name of Rosetta. No. they do not live together, each sister maintaining a separate establishment. H. G. — Alice White for the past year has been flaunting a rather blonde mane to the winds although the original color was brown. L Y. — All the players you mentioned are with the Paramount Famous-Lasky Corporation. Write them at 5451 Marathon Street, Hollywood. We suggest that you enclose a quarter for each of the star's portraits. E. T. L. — Gosh, you guessed right in both instances. Charles Ruggles was in The Lady Lies and Gertrude Lawrence appeared in the New York presentation of Chariot's Revue. Also, she was in Oh, Kay. Dennis King was The Vagabond King while Jeannette MacDonald played the niece of the king. R. B. — Mary Pickford's stage career started in 1898, at the age of five, when she played juvenile parts in the ^'Valentine Stock Company in Toronto, Canada. Mary's screen career started in 1915 under the direction of David W. Griffith. Her first leading role was in a one reeler for the Independent Motion Picture Company. Her next picture was A Good Little Devil which was a film version of the Belasco stage hit. Famous Players used the entire original stage cast. After making ten productions for Artcraft, Mary went over to First National and made three releases and then joined United Artists, who still release her productions. Mary's disposition is a sunny and bright as her lovely blonde hair and her hazel eyes never stop smiling. Well, thijre you are, R. B. the earliest data on your, and goodness knows how many others, favorite film star. ROBERTA— Buddy Rogers is not the most popular actor. According to a poll made over the country by the Exhibitor's Daily, Lon Chaney pulled in more ducats at the box ofl^ce during 1929 than any other male star. Clara Bow was the wow of the feminine contingent. Myrna Loy, eyes to the contrary, is just a good little Helena, Montana girl. Greta Garbo is five feet eight inches tall. Great doubt exists whether the Bow-Richman nuptials will ever be realized. Rin-Tin-Tin is owned by Lee Duncan who accompanies him at all personal appearances. Jack Coogan is not working in any production but is busily engaged in his studies at a military academy in Los Angeles. His brother Robert is now five years old. Gee, Roberta, but you can ask a variety of questions. But we're right in step with you. Try us again, soon. M. H. — Up to the time we went to press, the title of Rudy 'Vallee's next picture was not announced. Rudy himself doesn't even know with whom he will finally sign. You can now buy his autobiography, published by E. P. Dutton Co. and called Vagabond Dreams Come True. Write Rudy at 10 East 6Cth Street, New York City. F. B. — Mrs. John Boles was Marcelite Dobbs, a non-professional. The Boles were married in 1917, immediately after his graduation from college. John's birthplace fs Greenville, Texas. He has brown eyes and hair. And you'd never guess it, but his middle name is Love. PATSY — Joan Crawford's name was Lucille LeSeuer. She and Doug, Jr., are extremely happy. Yes, she does call him Do Do. We doubt very much whether Jack Mulhall and Dorothy Mackaill will ever marry, inasmuch as the present Mrs. Mulhall may object. Oh, yes, didn't you know there was already a Missus? Her name is Evelyn, and Jack and she are one of the longestmarried couples in Hollywood. Jack was born in Wappinger Falls, N. Y., while Dorothy hails from Hull, England. DA'VID — Give you Patsy Ruth Miller's address? Now, David, don't you know Patsy is a married woman? She is wife to Tay Garnett, one of the most pro;nising directors on the Radio lot. Patsy's latest work has been with Warner Brothers. A. S. — Nancy Carroll has red hair. Don't you read the ads? 98
