Film Fun (1928 - 1942 (assorted issues))

came along, got aloft, and bucked his way into star Western roles. Now he is making a couple of horse operas for Columbia and Paramount. He’s happy with his work and he likes being an actor. Laff that off! Pierre — Didja ever hang to a chan¬ delier, Pierre? No? Then rush right out and clamber up. It’s a sure wary to get in the movies. Nancy Carroll, the red-headed heart throb we’re sput¬ tering about, did that little stunt one Chari es Farrell, “The Street Angel” Anita Page, "He Learned About Women” night in “The Passing Show,” a New York stage success, and her fame was made. Another way to success is to be one of twelve children. That’s this lassie’s record. She was born on Tenth Ave¬ nue in Manhattan in 1906. As soon as she could walk, she started danc¬ ing, and a couple of weeks later she was taking away first prizes at local “home talent” orgies. After that the stage got in its sex appeal and Nancy answered. Several seasons in musical comedies and revues taught her the business of appearing in public in a chemise. And then the movies gobbled her up. Her next part is that of Rosemary in the screen version of “Abie’s Irish Rose.” Toots — Here’s a good example, Toots, of an American rah-rah boy gone to the bad, bad movies. Charles Rogers is the Adonis-faced lad we mention and you mention and every¬ body mentions, on account of his per¬ formance in “Wings” and other lesser pictures. Charlie is a Kansan. You should hear him apologize. He went to collitch out there and learned what every man should blow. Then he came to New York and entered Paramount’s training school for young and hand¬ some actors. To date he is the sole and solitary glittering star turned out by that theatrical kindergarten. He’s on his way to fame and plentee muchee fortune. The lad’s features panic the backwoods lassies and they storm the box office whenever and wherever he appears. He’s a nice guy, Toots, to boot, and you can write him by addressing your wrapper to the Paramount Studios, 5451 Marathon Boulevard, Hollywood. Clyde — You’ve picked a winner, Clyde, in this month’s blue ribbon. Little Betty Boyd, Hal Roach’s con¬ tribution to the silversheet, is nobody’s hand-me-down when it comes to enter¬ taining the boys with comical antics. Betty, we hear, has been featured for a brace of years by the afore¬ mentioned Mr. Roach. She has led his gang of low comics through enough pie-slinging frolics to get herself an honorary card in the Bakers’ Union. There are those who will tell you whisperingly that she is around twenty years old. Be that as it may, we haven’t seen the records and can only slide along the info. We are certain that she has a lovely figure, brown eyes, and (at this writ¬ ing) cute brown hair. G. G. — Charles Farrell, or the Boy Wonder of Walpole, is now plying his trade under the banner of William Fox. And, listen to us, Nancy, when we say he’s one of the big bets in the m. p. business. Brother Farrell, Chas.’ dad, saw sonny-boy off to school at Boston Uni¬ versity. Four years of a five-year course exhausted the lad’s collegiate yearning and he left school high and dry while he took a flyer on the stage. When he reached Hollywood, folks started having their doorways height¬ ened for him to get through. Then he went to work. It wasn’t much of a struggle for this boy Charles. He had the stuff and, G. G., it is living proof of the fact that the business is wide open to anyone who can really deliver the goods.
