Film Fun (June 1926)

Dolores Costello, in 'The Little Irish Girl." Roy D'Arcy, in "La Boheme." Laura La Plante, in "Butterflies in the Rain.' Charles Rogers, in "Beau Geste." Greta Garbo, in "The Temptress." LEIGH. — Dolores COMtello has played the lead in four pictures. "The Sea Beast," "The Mannequin," "Bride of the Storm," and "The Little Irish Girl." Dolores is nineteen, has light brown hair and brown eyes, and is, as you probably know, the daughter of Maurice Costello. D. F. C. — With four opened reference books on our desk, we dug up a lot of dirt (not to say anything about the dust on our paws) about the fella they call Valentino. The earliest mention of Valentino in the cast of a motion picture is that of "Ambition," starring Dorothy Phillips, released July .6, 1916. One book says Universal, another says Fox produced it. Take your choice. But what we really think is absolutely posilutely correct is this: he appeared in "A Society Sensation," produced and released by Universal October 6, 1918. During the early part of 1919 he appeared in two Mae Murray specials, "The Big Little Person" and "The Delicious Little DeVil." As to whether his roles were featured or not, we can't say. June Mathis discovered him, and "The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse" came out in February, 1920, with a new star launched in the filmament. Then came "The Sheik," and from there on you know the rest. To-day he is hard at work on "Son of the Sheik." We don't take stamps for our labor (the boss prefers to pat us on the back) but you can forward $2 to our Subscription . Department and receive the lovely little Film Fun once every month for one year. Your.s for bigger and better Sheiks. Henryette. — The smiling and devilish villain in "La Boheme" that threatens the fragile Lillian Gish is Roy D'Arcy. In "The Merry Widow" he was the Crown Prince that laid siege to Mae Murray's favor. In real life, Roy is married to the daughter of the vice-president of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Pictures. L. N. M. — Your favorite movie star. Laura La Plante, was born at St. Louis, Mo., Nov. 1, 1904. She is five feet two inches tall and weighs about one hundred and ten pounds. Blonde hair, clipped very short and dimples that beggar description. Universal is giving her a nice big role in "Butterflies jn the Rain." No, Laura is a bachelor girl. J. W. — Herbert Rawlinson heads the cast in "The Millionaire Policeman" with Eva Novak. X. L. — Charles "Buddy" Rogers, whom you saw in "Fascinating Youth," is to appear in Gloria Swanson's picture "Fine Manners." Buddy is one of the sixteen graduates of the Paramount School of Acting, and from all indications is well started on the road where all good actors travel. His home town is Olathe, Kan., and for three years he attended the University of Kansas, at the same time appearing in collegiate orchestras with his little trombone. He is twenty-five, black hair and dark eyes. L. F. T. — A typical Scandinavian type, blonde and possessed of rare physical charm — that's Greta Garbo. She is now at work on "The Temptress," opposite Antonio Moreno. Two years ago Greta first appeared in "The Story of Gosta Berling," a Scandinavian film. Louis B. Mayer persuaded her to come to America, and she is now under contract to Metro-Goldwyn. Quick,EasyWay *^vv to Become an Artist THOUSANDS are now learning to draw who never dreamed they could.
