There are other prizes to be announced next month — the final announcement; so get your photo in early if you’re now in high school.
A little soft soap and a close shave won Billy Engle an amusing role in RKO Radio Pictures’ “Is My Face Red?” to play a barber who shaves Ricardo Cortez, the wise-cracking newspaper columnist of the picture, Billy had to prove he could do a close job.
Randolph Scott, former athlete and stage actor, has signed a new contract as a Paramount film player. Scott attracted the attention of film executives last summer while appearing in the stage production of "The Broken Wing” and made his first screen appearance in “Sky Bride”. He is now at work in his first leading part in pictures, the title role in the film version of Will James’ autobiography “Lone Cowboy.”
Chico Marx, who recently fractured a knee cap in an automobile accident, left the hospital and returned to his Hollywood home where he remained until sufficiently recovered to resume work in his role in “Horse Feathers," the Four Marx Brothers starring picture which was halted by the accident. It was several weeks before the fractured bone was knit completely.
Robert Sparks for the past ten years stage manager and director of leading stock companies in the East, has joined Paramount as assistant to Louis D. Lighton, associate producer for the company. His last Broadway effort was the all-negro play, “Never No More” which he managed and directed.
Maurice Chevalier and Jeannette MacDonald play their next screen roles under their own first names, in “Love Me Tonight,” directed by Rouben Mamoulian. Chevalier appears as “Maurice,” a tailor and Miss MacDonald as "Princess Jeanette.” The completed cast includes Charlie Ruggles, Charles E. Butterworth, Myrna Loy, C. Aubrey Smith, Elizabeth Patterson, Blanche Friderici, Ethel Griffies, Robert Greig and Frances Moffett.
The latest fad for platinum blondes seems to be to have cats of the same color. The animals are bleached artificially to approach, as nearly as possible, the platinum color . . . Yes, it may be catty, but they’re calling them Jean Harlow.
We understand the young lady who reviews some of our pictures was recently refused (in a rather discourteous manner) the privelege of covering a picture at a theatre in Noo Yawk City . . . We’re wondering if for a short time at least, theatres can’t be moved south of the Mason and Dixon line where they play the game on the level, fair and square!
A young lady, whose name I’m not at liberty to disclose right now as a web of mysticism is being woven about her appearance in movies, was recently seen in her first picture — one of the big companies — playing in the same picture with a man whose first name is Richard. She was given the proper “encouragement” by none other than the casting office of this magazine, and will doubtless succeed in pictures.
