It's a Fake {Continued from page 21) made of herself with Gary Cooper. Gary, of course, must be in a bathing suit, too. That's just what the picture people are afraid of. Just a couple of heads a fair distance apart might cause no trouble, but studio officials figure the heads may not be kept far enough apart. They figure that more than mere heads will get in the picture. They are also of the opinion that, as the pictures look so real, there will probably be a thousand broken hearts and a lot of husbands running around with broken heads, or with guns in their hands. Show us the good wife who wouldn't get sore if she found a picture of friend husband in the arms of Clara Bow — especially if Clara was wearing that costume she wore in "Hoopla." And what of a jealous wife who has just discovered a picture of her husband holding hands with Mae West as Mae seems to be saying how glad she is that he has come up! She could hardly be blamed for thinking the buxom Mae had done her wrong, even though Mae knew nothing about the trick photograph. PICTURE folk also have visions of *• a nasty alienation of affections suit if some middle-aged husband with a pretty young wife should find a photograph of her with her head resting on the shoulder of Clark Gable. Most middle-aged husbands wouldn't stop to ask HOW it was done. They'd want to know Where it was done and WHEN, and might get mad enough to try to put Gable in jail. The conductors of this picture racket say there will not be any pictures of this unwanted sort, which might cause trouble and a lot of misunderstanding and bad publicity, but studio executives stick their tongues in their cheeks and say, "Oh, yeah?" "VTEW MOVIE Magazine has a number of these composite photographs in its possession. Out of respect for the feelings of the stars, however, we are refraining from printing them. But, to show you how the trick is done, we have had a series especially posed for you by professional models. The picture at the top of the page represents two stars — a studio 'still,' taken on the set. Now, the racketeer's customer writes to the racketeer and says he wants his photo printed with the girl in the still. He cuts out a snapshot of himself and sends it along with his dollar bill. This snapshot is carefully enlarged to fit the size of the man's head in the picture at the top of the page, and glued on to the 'still' where the man star's handsome profile originally was. Then, as a final step, the composite picture is photographed a second time, and the finished product sent back to the adoring fan. He now can show the boys down at the poolroom an actual picture of himself, taken with his favorite woman movie star. Can't you picture a loving wife finding such a picture in her husband's pocket? Most of them would start running for a lawyer and the divorce court without stopping to ask any questions. At first glance, this particular racket might appear harmless. The public regards the movie stars as its own personal property.

Why get so touchy about this new wrinkle, then? Well, for several very good reasons. Suppose, for example, that a burglar is hauled to jail, charged with committing a crime on the night of May 2nd. He needs an alibi, so he tells the judge, "I was in Hollywood all during the month of May." To prove it, he pulls out a picture of himself posed — apparently on a regular studio set — with a movie star. The faking is done so well that it would take a jury of experts to decide whether the photo was real or not. Result, doubt. And the burglar goes free — and the movie star has received publicity in the newspapers which hints that she is just a regular pal to a known criminal. 'TpHAT'S far-fetched, but it gives you *■ the idea. Any number of unpleasant results are equally possible. To name another, if every Tom, Dick and Harry can go around telling lies about his personal friendships with the stars, the stars will lose their glamour for everybody, and business will fall off at the box office. Familiarity breeds contempt, as the old saying has it. But the thing about this particular racket isn't so much that it's dangerous, as that it's disgusting. Cheapness in thought and deed is always disgusting. Any racketeer is a loathsome creature, but the petty racketeer, tricking dollar bills out of movie-struck young girls and men, is the most abominable one of them all. Name .. Address City Junior Hollywood {Continued from page 40) him, we predict that she will do for the producer who signs her what Ginger Rogers has done for RKO. Speaking of RKO — that studio can be credited with re-discovering William Bakewell, who was almost a star in his own right some years ago. Billy has just been assigned two pictures there and, if things turn out, he will be awarded a term contract. Virginia Reid, another RKO player, will soon come into prominence. She was discovered, so to speak, coming out of a Los Angeles theater a year ago when a contest was being held at the RKO Theater and the manager spied the beautiful Miss Reid, but noticed that she was one of the few girls who had not entered her name in the contest. He persuaded her to present a picture of herself, which she finally did, but instead of the usual procedure of waiting around for an answer, Virginia left town, thinking nothing more of the incident. Fortunately, the studio did think more of it, for she is now back in Hollywood with a career in the offing. So keep an eye on these coming stars ; after all, most of them have really worked and earned their little place in the Hollywood sun. They will, each one of them, be stars with your support. Inasmuch as they have the talent, and have honestly earned their break, let's support these players, Mary Rogers, Fred McMurray, Paula Stone, Bob Taylor and the rest, and establish them definitely as a part of the motion picture younger set. There are eight more young people such as these, just coming over the hill — but next month we shall be better qualified to endorse their work and predict a future for a few. 48 The New Movie Magazine, May, 1935
