The Canadian Independent (Dec 15, 1937)

Page 6 Rosezell Rowland, the golden girl of N. Y. burlesque, who wore for her stage costume a glittering coat of gold paint, has become the bride of a titled Belgian multimillionaire gold mine owner. Which goes to prove that all that glitters doesn’t have to be gold as long as it exercises allure. O Oo 0 Humphrey Bogart, has a phobia about owing people money, he never buys on the instalment plan? Does he like the cash and carry plan I wonder? It was a great stage lover who first introduced it you know. Remember the fellow who gave Sapho a lift upstairs? O 10) O Dorothy McNulty, Warner Bros. starlet, gave her new husband, Dr. Lawrence Scroggs Singleton, a piano and a course of music lessons as a wedding present. Sounds like a wifely campaign. ‘Music hath the power to tame the savage breast,” you know. Oo 10) oO The doe countered with a diamond-studded platinum vanity case which semed to reply, ‘‘Vanity, vanity, all is vanity.” Or The same Dorothy, though only 28 years of age, has behind her a brilliant musical comedy career, was on her way to a writing career, when she was inducted into movies via a big role in ‘‘After the Thin Man.” Seems like dame nature, too, studded the gal’s vanity case with a few gems. 0 oO Oo Prof. Monty Woolly, for twelve years a member of Yale University’s faculty, will play the uncle of Virginia Bruce in “Arsene Lupin Returns.” Well, turn about is fair play since the films have started going to college it’s right that Profs. start going into films. Maybe they will both benefit. O Oo ce) Barbara Moynihan, of the University of Chicago has predicted that in fifty years the blonde type of beauty will be as extinct as the dodo. Inter-marriage of recessive blondes with dominant brunettes is said to be making for the elimination of the “Angel” type. Ain’t that the way of it? It’s the thing “preferred” that is taken away! O O oO George Brent’s prize dog returned home after a month at a dog training academy and promptly chewed up a pair of George’s shoes. Brent said, “I tore up his diploma and threw it in his face.”” How many daddies feel like doing the same to their escapading Juniors when they find that dearly-bought degrees fail to modify conduct to any great degree? That’s when pater starts chewing up the scenery and thinking he is leading a dog’s life. Oo O O Clark Gable has a stand-in who wears his new hats for a week, to break them in. May we suggest La Garbo for his new shoes? Ot 10.4 20 May Robson wrote her first fan letter to Mickey Rooney for his work in “Thoroughbreds Don’t Cry.” When ‘one Hollywood star fans another, that’s news, 277 VICTORIA STREET Kudos to Ray Lewis Editor-Publisher-Author Our long-time friend and veteran publisher of the Canadian Motion Picture Digest has had her original story ‘London Melouwy,”’ produced by Herbert Wilcox, English producer of “Victoria the Great,” Anna Neagle, star of ‘‘Victoria’”’ and Tullio Carminati, co-star in the film vision, redubbed “Look Out For Love.” This is probably the deep dark secret that kept Ray in London some seven months on her coronation trip. We wish to applaud the intripid Ray Lewis, and wish her the Same success as a screen author that she has enjoyed as a publisher and editor to the trade. ANTI-CRIME SHORTS TO BE SHOWN G-MEN J. Edgar Hoover, head of the Bureau of Investigation, Department of Justice, and Attorney General, Homer Cummings, had a private showing in Washington of “Behind the Criminal,” the latest Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer short drama. The story deals with the menace of the crooked lawyer against whom Hoover is conducting a vigorous campaign. Hoover was so enthusiastic that he has arranged to have every one of Metro-Goldwyn -Mayer’s “Crime Does Not Pay” shorts shown to his entire staff of G-Men, as the pictures are released.

TORONTO WA, 3116 “What Price Innocence’”’ Surprise Hit A re-issue of ‘What Price Innocence” by Columbia proved an unexpected bonanza in the first few test bookings. Williard Mack, Canadianborn veteran of the stage and screen, wrote, directed, and played in the picture, “What Price Innocence’ reveals the tragedy of a young girl, who, following her natural sex impulses, blindly falls into the old-age trap of unblessed motherhood. Her mother, who, mistakenly relied on her young daughter’s innocence to safeguard her chastity turns on her in bitterness. The heartbroken, bewildered girl pays for her misstep with her life, a suicide. Jean Parker does excellent work as the tragic sacrifice on the alter of innocence and prudery. The picture packs a powerful lesson for both parents and flaming adolescents. They will both want to see it. The first bookings have held for full weeks to packed houses.
