Motion Picture Classic (Jul-Dec 1928)

Secret History of the Month (^Continued from page 35) Hideous thought suggested by First National's publicity experts: "More than fifty thousand title cards have been used in titling First National Pictures during the past year. Laid edgeto-edgc in a thirtyfoot roadway, they would pave it for a distance of more than two miles." Gastronomic note from FBO shedding new light on the stuff of which the female Prowling Columnist — and presumably her column — is made: "Louella Parsons, nationally popular motion picture columnist, and Jimmie deTarr paused to stock up on hamburgers at the FBO studio lunch stand before calling on Lance Heath, newly appointed publicity director." Touching faith in Ultimate Good as exhibited by Mary Aiken Carewe, divorced wife of Edwin Carewe, the well-known director of Dolores del Rio; from persevering Nancy Smith: "Mary Aiken Carewe has turned editor of a beautifully complied magazine, 'California Review.' 'I want to write and create beautiful things,' she says. 'My magazine will send the beauties of California, and the true story of motion picture making into the world. So much has been written of the sensational, that I want to tell of the good that exists in Hollywood picture life.'" Making history at Universal City, as reported by Sam Jacobson of that celluloid burg: "Ansel Friedberger, Universal director, could relate a tale of hardships equal to the best. It took him two years to get inside the studio and two years more to get his first film job." Demoralizing effect of movie actresses on otherwise respectable Washington executives: "Marion Templeton, at present playing in "The Woman Disputed." was the late President Harding's mascot. The night he was elected, little Marion was at the Harding home with her mother, and when the news came over the wire that Mr. Harding had been elected, he gathered the girl and kittens with which she had whiled away the waiting hours, into his arms, and announced that she was to be his mascot." This month's contribution to grammar (from Mr. Fox's publicity workshops) : "No celebrity who has come to Hollywood has received such attention . . . than Harry Collins, famous arbiter of fashion." Proclamation from the proud House of Tiffany "Alice White has a head that has lots in it. When she read the script of 'Lingerie' and found herself a French girl, she called on her pal, Barbara Leonard, who, by the way, was educated in France, to come on over and give her a few lessons on how to speak her titles in French. Alide is now 'we we we we weing' all over the set, and George Melford is delighted with the idea and the convincing touch it will give the picture." s'*>>fi^^7)<r<i^i^^^(r'^/!f^^^<r^!>'»<7>^''^^^ (Jhlp /J> AS'rON/J'/7/NG TO rAy^TiDiouy^ women t/ ^^JLs:dlh^ \r' rK< ri' — rit — /r«^ /#*''"; "^»\^~!\ "^w^^^i\ "^^ ^-'^ t^VERy woman wants a soft, !• smooth'skin with the slorious feci of rare velvet— Which explains why the Linit Beauty Bath is so popular among thousands of fastidious women. After a luxurious Linit Beauty Bath you instantly '"feel'" the results— your skin is unusually soft and delightful to the toudi. Merely dissolve half a package of Linit (the scientific starch dis> covery sold by grocers) in your bath — then enjoy the soothing sensation of a ridk^ cream -like bath — and feel your skin. It is like rare velvet. After your Linit Bath, powder-, ing is unnecessary as Linit leaves just the right amount of powder on the skin, evenly spread. You will find that Linit adheres well, absorbs perspiration without caking, eliminates shine on body, hands and face, prevents diafingand affords protection against wind and sun. Harmless and Refreshing Starch from corn is the main ingredient of Linit and, being a pure vegetable product, is absolutely harmless to even the most delicate skin. White is the natural color of Linit — it is not disguised by color or odor. LINIT is sold by GROCERS Corn Products Rtfining Co., Department M.
