HOLLYWOOD MOVIES ^ Consider the LILIES Bond , Dagover , Damita,Gish, Roth , T ASHMAN .Walker, Part IV LITTLE Old Noo Yawk claims her as its own; and if the fact that she’s one of the best dressed women in the film game, and an ex-Follies girl, and plays sophisticated and “vamp” roles means anything — then she really is a daughter of Manhattan. Yes, we’re speaking of Lily an Tashman, wife of Edmund Lowe, and a featured player and star in her own right. Lilyan Tashman was born October 23, 1899, in New York City, and was named Lily Tashman; being the seventh daughter of Rose and Maurice Tashman, the latter being a manufacturer of boys’ and girls’ clothing. It’s a long jump from the clothing-manufacturing home to a palatial-like residence in Beverly Hills, California, not far from the studio lots of Hollywood. Her present home is partially hidden behind pepper trees which droop ever so gracefully and lend a decorative motif to the whole. A neat, flagstone walk leads to. the entrance, winding mysteriously through heavy foliage and shrubbery. That “m y s t i c” atmosphere has ever been a part of Lilyan’s life; even the mystery as to her tiger-like guardianship of her husband, Edmund Lowe. The world is already familiar with the story of the beautiful and youthful Alona Marlowe who was found in Edmund Lowe’s dressing room. The following morning she was hailed into court charged with beating and scratching Miss Marlowe. Charges were dismissed. Her marriage, according to all observers, has been a happy one. Astrologers claim that it is due to the fact that the beauteous blonde was born under the sign of Scorpio, and that those born under that sign should mate up with a husband born under the sign of Pisces. Edmund Lowe, seven years her senior, was horn under the astrological sign of Pisces! Hence the happy, (lower-guarded home. When a child, Lilyan was more or less of a tomb o y, rough and ready. She loved to play with boys and at boys’ games, and could gen Lilyan Tashman shows H. B. Warner one of the legs which made her famous in the "Follies,” in “French Dressing ” erally be found up a tree or atop a metal lamp post. She attended Girls’ High School and has always had one ambition — to be an actress. In that she has succeeded, as her roles in “Love Blindness”, “French Dressing”, “So This Is Paris”, “The Marriage Playground”, “The Road to Reno”, “Pretty Ladies”, “A Little Bit of Broadway”. “Girls About Town”, “Murder By the Clock”, and others. Having tea at Martin’s one afternoon marked the start of her theatrical career. A man came over to her table and said “Mr. Ziegfeld is sitting over there. He thinks you’re very pretty and would like to meet you.” From that meeting resulted her first job. She was one of the show girls in the “Follies of 1917.” Some of the other show girls in that edition were Marion Davies, Justine Johnson, Dolores, Marie Wallace and Peggy Hopkins Joyce — all girls who have made good. Whether she exposed much of her shapely calves while she sat there history doesn’t relate, but certain it was that her legs were gorgeously pretty. The late Raphael Kirschner, famed as a mural decorator and a painter of pret ty French girls, pronounced her legs the most beautiful in the world. He painted them, lucky man, clad and unclad. The rest of her body is fairly well proportioned although one would not call her beautiful. Lilyan is five feel five inches tall and weighs 108. Blue are her eyes and she is mighty proud of her blonde hair. She has it done at least once a day. For the past thirteen years she has been married to Edmund Lowe. They were introduced to each other by Walter Catlett when Lowe was playing at the Morosco theatre. Their romance continued when they played the love interests in a play. Previous to that she was married to A1 Lee. who .formerly played with Eddie Cantor in vaudeville and is now general manager for one of Florenz Ziegfeld’s rivals, George White, of Scandal's fame.
