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

Hollywood New.apiet.ures . Z Lilyan Tashman and Edmund Lowe as they arrived at Pasadena recently— on their way home. (Below) As Marshall Duffield saw Dorothy Lee off on the Santa Cecilia, everyone swore they'd been married but they both denied it hotly. TRANSATLANTIC Jottings : None other than Lila Lee's boy friend, John Farrow, will do the .adaptation of the British film, "Don Quixote," which will introduce the famous Russian bass, Chaliapin, to the talkie world. Yes, Johnnie is still spending a young fortune telephoning Lila in Hollywood from London . . . Corinne Griffith, filming "Lily Christine" at the Paramount studios at Elstree, in one week received visits from three royal princes — Lennart of Sweden, and the Prince of Wales and his brother Prince George. And the two English princes dined informally with Corinne and husband Walter Morosco at the Morosco's May fair house afterwards . . . Ina Claire flew from London to Paris just to see her friend Florence Vidor and to attend a recital by Jascha Heifetz, Florence's husband . . . Lowell Sherman's first ex, Pauline Garon, and his ex-to-be, Helene Costello were seen chatting in a French cafe together . . . Carol and Garrett Graham, the Hollywood-exposing novelists and contributors to Modern Screen, are in London doing the adaptation for Adolphe Menjou's English film, "Women Spoil Everything."' Our reaction to the rumor that Estelle Taylor and Jack are considering a re-marriage is — applesauce! THRILL ! thrill ! Here's a recipe for Garbo's favorite dish. It's called "Fish Pudding" and Greta loves it. Here's the dope: 3 cups of raw halibut, ground fine 1 tablespoon of salt 3 tablespoons of butter 2 eggs 2 tablespoons of flour 2 cups of milk Add the salt and the melted butter to the finely ground halibut. Stir a little cold water into the flour to make a creamy consistency and then add the eggs, well beaten. Stir this mixture into the two cups of milk and then add the fish. Turn "into a well buttered baking pan, cover and set in pan of boiling water and cook for about one hour. When done, serve hot with the following sauce: 2 cups of milk ; 2 tablespoons of butter ; 2 tablespoons of potato flour. Melt the butter, add the flour and blend thoroughly, and slowly pour in the milk, stirring constantly. Shredded shrimp may be added to the sauce if desired." r BEFORE starting work in "Rain," Joan Crawford hied herself off to the desert for a rest (doctor's orders), with no visitors or phone calls allowed. The whyfore of the rest wasn't only overwork. Seems as if Joan keeps her diet so low (for that sleek figure of hers) that she eats just enough to give her strength from day to day. No extra calories to build up a reserve. That's really why the isolated vacation. Absolute rest and quiet., MAE CLARKE was really more dangerously ill than: anyone suspected when she retired to a private sanitarium to recover from a nervous breakdown. Overwork and worry was supposed to havej brought on the shattered nerves. And the worry, some would have us' believe, was over one John McCormick, Mae's ex-fiance. Fifi Dorsay's newest flame is the chap who used to be her secretary. AS soon as Lily Damita can get a . partner, she leaves to tour the three-a-day vaudeville circuit. Lily will sing and dance. ALTHOUGH Hollywood has Madge . Evans and Tom Gallery (ZaSu Pitts' ex) engaged and on their way to the altar — little Madge still insists that her heavy sugar is back in New York town. She'd better save her breath. Nobody believes it anyway— simply because Madge and Tom are seen everywhere together. o UR favorite sleuth just sneaked in, took off the dark goggles, false beard and Charlie Chaplin shoes to tell us that Ann Harding hurried to a Nevada ranch immediately after finishing her last picture. There she will probably establish the necessary six-weeks' residence so that she and not Harry Bannister can sue for that Bannister-Harding divorce. Both Ann and Harry believe that a husband getting the divorce isn't quite the correct procedure in cases like this — so the story goes. Anyway, that's what our gum-shoe expert tells us.
