The New Movie Magazine (Jan-Sep 1935)

nemo's HOLLYWOOD Nemo, the mysterious reporter nobody knows, brings you the latest news from the cinema capital, HOLLYWOOD gets them all, sooner or later. At least it would seem so! The other day, we snuck up behind Gary Cooper, and, what do you think? Why, that big Montana he-man was cutting out some funny paper ducks! Like Uncle Elmer did, just before they took him away! We were about to look around for the wagon, when Gary informed us that the ducks were for a little fan friend who had requested them so ardently that he just couldn't refuse! TT/HEN Tullio Carminati discovered that England had gone wild over yy his swell performance in "One Night of Love," he decided that such popularity should not go unrewarded. So, as a Christmas gift, he bought himself a combination watch and cigarette lighter which he wears at the end of a gold chain. Now, on the "Once a Gentleman" set, that sly Victor Schertzinger asks for either the time, or a light, practically every five minutes. And Carminati, who knows very little as yet of our old American custom of "kidding," hasn't caught on yet! • WHEN it comes to giving autographs, Fay Wray is one of the best sports in the business. Graciously, she puts her name on everything from menus to opera hats. But one day she got the surprise of her life when a pair of newlyweds, visiting the studio on their honeymoon, asked her to autograph their wedding license! Fay did it, too! • 7'ACK HOLT and Edmund Lowe are having more fun, walking around the bottom of the Pacific and playing catch ivith starfish and such. While the crew and cameras floated on the surface above them, it suddenly began to rain. And when it does rain out here in California it pours, no less. So, with the crew, director and everybody else drenched to the skin, Eddie and Jack squatted comfortably on the ocean floor, high and dry, you might say, in their nice warm diving suits! WHEN a studio hires a "practical" nurse for a picture, that means a nurse who has had experience enough to be able to tell the director just how certain sequences should be handled and why. A "practical" waiter is one who has had consistent experience in serving the hungry public as a real, honest-to-gosh waiter. So, on the "Carnival" set, Jimmy Durante approached Director Lang and said: "Listen, Walter . . . you gotta 'practical' dis-a an' a 'practical' dat-a in this troupe. Well, I wanna a 'practical' somethin', too." "What do you mean, Jimmy?" the director asked. "Well," said Schnozz', "I'm playin' a pickpocket in this story an' we gotta do this thing right. Get me a 'practical' pickpocket! What I needs is technical advice . . .see?" r 1 tHAT big he-man, Bill Setter, is just putty in the hands of his wife, J. Marian Nixon. Taking complete charge of Bill's big yacht, Marian proceeded to give it the much-touted "feminine touch." And whether Bill likes it or not, there's i \ chintz and cretonne drapes all over the place, and even the crew has to wear those funny little sailor hats with blue ribbons floating C^" FA^rf^? out behind! \^%W GLENDA FARRELL'S pals were startled when she invited them to attend a party in honor of burning down her old home! Half way through the evening, Glenda took the assembled guests out in the backyard, poured some kerosene over an old trunk and touched a match to it! Watching the flames mount, Glenda sighed: "I've lived in that ffii" \Stfli Below: In skeet shooting, targets are released from two towers and cross in mid-air. The object then, Clark Gable and John Barrymore learn, is to hit them. Right: Mrs. Richard Arlen (Jobyna Ralston) plays with her young son, Richard, beside the pool at Palm Springs. Clarence b What do actors do between takes, on location? Well, Bob Montgomery ties on a tianky to save his make-up and Joan Crawford pets stray dogs. 30 The New Movie Magazine, March, 1935
