Modern Screen (Dec 1931 - Nov 1932 (assorted issues))

Modern Screen Jimmy Durante contracted a bad cold in his nose while on a fishing trip. "And when Schnozzle has a cold in his nose," added a pal, "he's a pretty sick man !" /^LARA BOW says she's glad that ^ she decided not to go on to NewYork after all, because there would have probably been lots of rumors about her seeing Harry Richman, as she admits she zvould have seen him had she reached New York. Harry and Clara are still good friends even though their love affair is a thing of the dead past. The red-haired actress got as far as Gallup, New Mexico, where she got a long distance phone call from Hollywood (must have been Rex Bell at the Hollywood end of the wire), and decided to retrace her steps back to Hollywood . . . and Rex. So instead of a New York vacation before starting work on her new picture, "Get The Woman," Clara will spend a quiet few weeks in the modest Hollywood apartment she has taken, resting and studying. p LEVER little Greta Grandstedt ^ (you'll remember her as the young blond flapper in "Street Scene") is playing a lead in "Manhattan Parade" over at First National now. That dead-pan comedian, Charlie Butterworth, has the comedy role in the same picture — and he and Greta have become quite friendly. The other day Greta left the studio feeling not-so-well. That night Charlie brought over a gang — and also a delectable roast chicken for the invalid. Greta loves chicken and couldn't pass it up, in spite of a threatened case of appendicitis. Among the most interested spectators at the opening of "The Silver Cord" were tzvo very beautiful young screen misses — Dorothy Jordan and Barbara Weeks. Their interest, however, was more or less centered on young Donald Dillozvay, who has a part in the stage play. Dot and Barbara both admit they like Don very much indeed — and Don reciprocates by saying both are lovely girls. Wonder who zvill get the man? JOAN CRAWFORD and Doug Fair" banks, Jr., were also among the first-night audience of Sidney Howard's play. As usual, Joan had to have her "coke" at the drug store nearby after the performance. Evidently the young Fairbanks had had words earlier in the evening — for Joan deigned not to speak to Doug while in the store. He was trying to explain something to her . . . and she walked away, saying, "Pick up my evening bag from the counter and come on." But this doesn't mean that the Fairbanks, Jrs., are going to split up — or anything like it. Maybe Joan just had a headache and was feeling mean. Other people never give the stars credit for being just human beings. Look for "Carbo on the Set" Our March Issue Worlds lowest Meed Quality/ Home !
