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

Modern Screen same boat with Miss Moore, more or less." Mary listened with great interest, yet wondered how she could motor out to Malibu Beach and then go on to a grand party at Santa Monica in the evening. Of course, it would be a grand party, since Mrs. Jesse Lasky was giving it and Mr. Lasky was an important figure in the movie industry — having been for years a high executive of Paramount. Every important star, every director and every producer was sure to be there. She couldn't get back to Hollywood in time to change after visiting Malibu even if Dick Garth wanted to be her escort. He had done so much for her already, more than any girl had a right to expect from a young man who must know dozens of girls prettier than she ! But it was as if Garth read her mind. "I wanted to ask Mrs. Lasky if I might bring Miss Moore," he said to Lilyan, "for I know it would be a unique experience for her which might never happen again. But, you see, I didn't get my own invitation direct, so I—" DUT we got ours direct," Miss Tashman cut him short. "And Mrs. Lasky is such a generous person I know it will be all right for Miss Moore. I'll simply telephone and that will be that ! As for clothes — well, I know Miss Moore is thinking about them. But not help her. These failing, they asked Arbuckle to call a doctor. Now, here is the absolute proof of Arbuckle's innocence. The first doctor called found Virginia Rappe in a room down the corridor. She was in the custody of a woman named Delmont. This doctor testified at each of the four Arbuckle trials that he made a thorough examination of the poor girl and found only that she was suffering from alcoholism. "Doctor, did you percuss her stomach ?" he was asked many times by lawyers for defense and prosecution. "I did," he answered every time. "And did you especially percuss her stomach ?" "I did. And I found nothing out of the way." That is the sworn testimony of a reputable doctor, a physician called in from an office building because the hotel doctor was not available. An hour later, the girl beginning to scream with pain, Arbuckle called for the doctor again — but could not get him. He then called in a second physician. This doctor found that Virginia's stomach was rigid and sensitive to pain. He gave her a hypodermic and went his way, according to his own testimony. The third medical man to attend the you, Dick. You've been in Hollywood too long. There'll be some girls in the most dazzling dresses, and men in evening things, of course. But Mrs. Lasky wired all her invitations and said it was to be informal. That means — why, there'll be lots of girls and boys in sports clothes. In other words, 'Wear what you like,' is the watchword. You two will come out to Malibu tomorrow afternoon. You needn't even bring your swimming suits. We have plenty of them. Then — well, I can't invite you to dinner because we're dining out ourselves. But our servants will love to give you something to eat and drink to keep you going till the party begins." Mary had heard various stories about the Hollywood "crowd" ; that they were "cliquey" ; that they didn't want outsiders butting in. Also, on the contrary, she had heard that the one thing you mustn't be in Hollywood, even if you're a grand star, is high hat, and that in reality, the better the star the kinder the heart. Now she began to see that the last story was the true one. (To be Continued) (Next month Mary has some more delightful adventures. You must go with her to the Breakfast Club. And you'll want to see what happens to her when she takes an unexpected test at one of the big studios.) patient, the hotel physician, found the young woman was seriously injured. And it was he who ordered an immediate operation for a ruptured bladder. It was the rupture that caused the death of this girl. There can be no doubt in the mind of any sane individual that whatever caused that rupture, happened between the visit of the first doctor and the calling of the second — hours after the patient had been carried out of Arbuckle's room, hours after Fatty had found her. It is ridiculous to say that Fatty Arbuckle attacked Miss Rappe at any time. Fatty hadn't invited her to his party. He had never met her until that afternoon. He had a date with May Taube at three o'clock, and was preparing to keep it when he found the girl in her wretched condition on the bathroom floor. Remember that at this time Fatty was the king of comedians. He was paid $5,000 a week. He was the funniest man in the world — and Charlie Chaplin was just beginning to shine in that world, too. Fatty had more women thrust upon him than most of us will ever have. He was doing his best to stay away from women. Fatty make conquests ? You might say that General Pershing at the height of the war was hoping for trouble with Iceland. BABY STARVED.. CRIED INCESSANTLY FOR TWO MONTHS Then came a change! # Little Jeanette Ann De Mott at 22 months. "For two months," writes Mrs. Rose De Mott, La Cygne, Kansas, "our baby cried all the time. The only time she wasn't crying was when she was nursing. I fed her every two hours, as the doctor had said, but she acted hungry all the time. "So we went to see our doctor again, and this time he advised Eagle Brand. My ! What a relief it was after that to see she was satisfied after being fed ! From the first feeding, she began to rest and feel better. From then on she gained rapidly and is now the picture of health." . If you cannot nurse your baby and lie is not gaining as he should on his present food, we suggest that you and your doctor consider Eagle Brand. Send for free booklet.
