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

Modern Screen More About Hollywood (Continued from page 84) Simultaneously with a threatened thirty-day jail sentence for blond Mary Nolan on account of a salary mix-up over wages for some employees in the now defunct Mary Nolan Gown Shop — we noticed that Mary had signed to act in a picture called "Arm of the Law" ! T OOKS like Hollywood has a new ' fad. Everyone seems to be wearing turtle-necked sweaters. Clark Gable started it — and now even Marlene Dietrich sports them. The other night at the wrestling matches, Marlene appeared in a mannishly tailored suit of dark green under which she wore a white angora turtle-necked sweater. Chevalier is another who favors these sweaters, along with Wally Ford. D OBBE ARNST (Mrs. Johnny Weissmuller) is now appearing at Hollywood's swankiest night club. The girl can dance — and what a gorgeous figure ! Bobbe says that she gave up her stage career when she became Mrs. Weissmuller because it made Johnny happy. But since he's been busy before the camera and microphone, she felt the old urge. As long as their respective careers don't separate them, Johnny says okay to Bobbe's. TT was a great day at the studio when Wally Beery got Carole Anne, his newest adopted baby, all dressed up for a show-off to the gang. Wally picked out the pink dress she should wear and personally dressed her for the occasion. When Carol Anne had been introduced to one admiring group, Wally would hold out one huge finger and the little girl would wrap her tiny hand around it and they would walk off together. You would have loved the picture of the two of them . . . Wally is so big . . . and Carol Anne is so very small. He calls her "Squirt" . . . but doesn't that sound more like Wally than dressing little girls in pink? Bill Powell took his wife, Carole Lombard, down to the beach last night for some fun. They rode the coaster and played all the games. They won five slabs of bacon . . . all stale. Open Letter to Bob (Continued from page 70) grin and a grain of salt and held your temper about. You've shrugged them aside as just "part of the game." But this latest gossip story to the effect that you are leaving Betty, and that there will be a divorce between you, now that the baby is gone . . . this story makes you plenty red-headed. Mad . . . and just a little bit sick that gossip can be so unkind and untrue and so baseless. You've been angered into a silence that really should be explained. Why don't you tell them the truth, Bob ? Tell them that those few days when you were out "house hunting" a week or so after the passing of the little baby daughter who was with you such a short time, you were looking for a new environment for Betty, who was heartbroken and couldn't go with you. That house, with its little deserted nursery was a nightmare of unhappiness to you both and you wanted Betty to be free of its little ghost. So you went alone to look for another house and the smarty gossips whispered ; "Montgomery's moving . . . looking for a house by himself . . . now that the baby's gone there's nothing to hold them together." That's all I have to say, Bob. Good luck . . . and plenty of it. Sincerely . . . Walter Ramsey Frankest Break-Up (Continued from page 45) not to continue. June Collyer has not been on the screen since she married Stuart Erwin. A difficult thing, to give up the promise of a brilliant career. But possibly tremendously wise. Bebe Daniels and Ben Lyon are happy — but they are both equally successful players. The same is true of Claudette Colbert and Norman Foster. And Edmund Lowe and Lilyan Tashman. And William Powell and Carole Lombard. But would their marriages have lasted if either the husband or wife — particularly the wife — had far out-distanced the other in the race for fame ? In her frank, unafraid manner, Ann Harding is paying the price for fame. But her courage and clear-sightedness does not make the price any less. May Ann's and Harry's love outlast their separation, their heartbreak, and the cruelties which have been forced on them by Hollywood — crudest of jesters. And, some time in the future, may they again find happiness — together. POUDkE YBRY lOC This gorgeous poudre sold in leading smart shops everywhere — now in a small size.
