Motion Picture Magazine (Aug 1928-Jan 1929)

What's Happened to the Whoopee Sisters? (Continued from page 55) was a slogan. Alice's giggle was famous. Alice's clothes were something to write home about. Alice's bob was as much like Clara Bow's as possible. Her jaws moved unceasingly in the graceful rhythm of chewing gum. She had a great line. Strong men wilted under the battery of her babydoll stare. And the movies burned her up. You're darn tootin', baby, the movies burned her up plenty. ALAS FOR ALICE ALICE gave out interviews that had to k. be printed on asbestos to protect the women and children readers. When she gave her candid opinion on things cinematic, it was just too bad. She revealed official secrets that would have rated the firing squad for most players. But did Alice care? Not on your life, sweetheart. They could take her or leave her, just as she was with her hennaed hair, her hands on her hips and her chewing gum. That was last year. This year she's playing bridge. Yes, sir. Right in among the bidders. She's one-no-trumping, please, as calm and concentrating as a Hollywood director's wife. She likes it quiet when she's playing, too. There's nothing that throws her off her game like the radio. Boy friends? Oh, sure, but does he play bridge? The latest report is that men have developed into mere fourths in Alice's life. The nice part about bridge is that it doesn't keep you up all night chasing around. A girl can get a little rest. You know how it is when you work hard all day? Even Clara Bow has thrown us down. Little Clara who made such exciting whoopee. Hardly a day went by but that Clara's engagement was announced to first this one and then that one. She was always in love and in hot water. The front office had to keep a hawk-eye on Clara lest she say something or do something that would vex the front office. She was franker than Alice White. In fact, she beat Alice to most of the expose. When Clara was in her hey-day, it was almost fun to pick up the morning paper. You can imagine what a turn things have taken out here when Clara hasn't been engaged in the last six months. THE REST ARE TOO RESTFUL CONSTANCE TALMADGE, too. Ever since back in the rare old times when movies were silent (Praise the Lord), Connie has been dependable for her share of excitement. Connie's bare legs, bon mots, sports clothes and marriages were the last word, including the exclamation point. She was less strident in her whoopee than Joan and Alice and Clara, but in her subtle way she did her stuff. The string of broken hearts along her path was longer than a banquet speech. Connie's eyes stirred the pulse and did things to male blood pressure. Constance, and her flirtatious eyes, were guaranteed to start things at any local party. On one occasion a couple of gentlemen retired to the lawn to thrash it out because the exciting blonde had got her dances mixed. Them were the times. But Connie's departed for Europe— a somehow more settled Constance, worried about the slacking up in her^ picture career — and the old home town isn't what it used to be. Even Sally O'Neill won't Varsity Drag any more unless you beg her. And then she'll only do it once. And Pola's gone back to the Old Country with her Prince and her rumors and her own little Negri brand of stirring things up. L© f® Puzzle fari9 attention: 3. C. tone, Charles Vogtmann, Mrs. J.
