Motion Picture Classic (Jan-Jun 1929)

Looking Them Over Out Hollywood Way {Coiiiimiedfrotti page 6i) along either apart or together. They had a great time patching up their divorce and, just like a couple of love-birds, set out on a second honeymoon across the continent. I hear the great split-up came at Kansas City. Anyvv-ay, Marie just got back to Hollywood and when somebody asked her where Ken was, she said she didn't know. And cared less. Charlie Smitten at Fights AC.IRL named Virginia Cherrill is going to play the lead in Chaplin's new picture. She's a society debutantefrom Chicago and a great pal of Sue Carol's. Charlie spotted the beautiful blonde one night at the fights. A couple of days later they were introduced and Chaplin signed her in spite of her inexperience. Lack of picture training is no longer a handicap to the new girls. Some of the biggest hits of the year have been scored by novices. For instance, Anita Page crowded Marceline Day out of the .M. G. .M. line-up. This is great for the beginners, but certainly makes it tough on .Merna Kennedy, Marceline and some of the others. MarceUne Never Necked EVERYBODY is holding his, or her, Ijreath waiting for .Marceline Day and Richard Dix to announce their engagement. Or their marriage. The people who know Richard best say that he is really in love for the first time in his life. He told me as much himself several months ago when we talked in his dressing-room. He said he never knew love could be like this. As for Marceline, she is doing a bit of talking herself. She has been quoted as saying that she was glad she saved herself for "the great romance of her life and hadn't necked around like the other girls." Joan's Stock Rises I DON'T want to go around peddling state secrets that will make things difficult for .\ietro-(joldwynMayer, but I happen to know every producing organization in Hollywood would trade two of its best stars, with a director thrown in, for the contracted services of Joan Crawford. Sam Goldwyn has made no secret of his belief in Joan's ix)ssibilities and another powerful man at another important studio told me ^ that ''There was more gold in Crawford than there was in Swanson." Connie Busts in the Buster IF C'onstance Talmadge's picture "\'enus," being made in .Nice, is the biggest box-office hit of the year, nobody will Ik; h<i[)pier or prouder than her pals in Hollywofjd. Connie's career has been seriously hampered as a result of a marital mix-up in her family. Now Joseph Schenck has sent her to Europe and, everybody hopes, to a fresh start on the screen. \\ hen she returns to this country, Connie will probably be married to Townsend Netcher, young Chicago millionaire. That puts an end to the Uuster Collier romance that has lasted off and on for five or six years. Three Deaths Keenly Felt T I HC deaths of Larry Semon, George Bei)an and .\rnold Kent, all within a span of a few weeks of one another, came as a sad shock to the colony. Larry Semon died as the result of a nervous breakdown complicated by pneumonia. George Beban was thrown from a horse and Arnold Kent was the victim of an automobile accident while crossing the street.
