The New Movie Magazine We Have With Us Tonight (Continued from jmge 89) different. And there he is, sitting quietly behind the second most famous moustache in the world — the most famous belonging to Charlie Chaplin. He is none other than RONALD COLMAN. Ronald Colman had his first cup of tea in Surrey, England, February 9th, 1891, thirty-nine years ago, and he still considers the day lost when he doesn't have his four o'clock. Ronald lived quietly at home drinking tea and eating marmalade until he was twenty years old, when he went down to dear old Lunnon and got himself a job in business. When the war came along he enlisted as a private and gave 'em hell until at Ypres a high-explosive shell dropped in to talk things over. He was invalided home, and was now Leftenant Colman, if you please, and a gentleman. But he slipped and became an actor. One night a Tommy saw him act in London and said, "I've "seen you act, and now I don't mind going back to the front." While he was still sending men to the front, he married Thelma Ray, but the Dove of Happiness didn't come and coo on their doorstep, and after a time they separated, and now Ronald is Hollywood's most sought after bachelor. But so far no girl has yet made him mumble in the moonlight. Once people got excited and thought Vilma Banky was going to pour his tea for him, but it never came to a boil. Ronald has a lovely home at 2092 Mound Street, Hollywood, and there's not a powder-box in it. He lives with a friend, Charles Lane, the actor, and a Filipino house-boy named Tono, and not a woman in the house. Isn't it a crying shame? But don't become too confident, girls — he gets 20,000 fan letters a week. And still some people think women folks don't like moustaches. JJflLLlAM POWELL: We'll stop rr for a moment to look at another moustache we have with us tonight. A very nice and debonair moustache, too. The man behind it is WILLIAM POWELL. William, stand up and let us see it. William Powell was born one smoky morning in Pittsburgh, Pa., the same being July 29th, and the year 1892, which makes him thirty-eight years old, come July. His father and mother still live there, but William himself was very fastidious and wanted to go west young man, and his parents did take him west, to Kansas City, in the good old state of Missouri where so many — er — fine people come from. William went to Central High where they said he'd never amount to much, and now all who said it like to tell what great friends and intimate pals they were with William. His first job was in the office of the Home Telephone Company, where he helped the girls get the wrong numbers. He finally resigned, as there didn't seem to be any future in giving wrong connections, no difference how efficient and systematic one was, and went to New York and attended a dramatic school. The first time he stepped on the stage he said automatically, "Excuse it, please," and didn't know until the show was over that he had made a mistake. It just shows what slaves of habit people become without noticing. He married Eileen Wilson, but the venture was never a great success, and now they're divorced. There's one son. But that is now all over and a matter of history, and William is footloose and fancy free, and has two Jap servants who say they haven't enough to do. You know, girls, that isn't right. And Japs make about the best servants in the world. Really, something ought to be done about it. One more point: his salary is bigger than the salary of the President of the United States. It just shows the possibilities in the telephone business. T>EBE DANIELS: We have been -*-) jumping around over the map, and now we'll give another yump. This time it is to Dallas, Texas. Meet the best card fortune teller in Hollywood — none other than BEBE DANIELS herself. When there is a party the guests are always sure to flock around Bebe and ask her to tear back the veil of the future, and some of the things that Bebe sees and tells send the people home in gasps of astonishment. Also don't get mixed up in a bridge game with Bebe, because Bebe simply hypnotizes cards. Dallas, Texas, and the date was January 14, 1901. Her mother was a Spanish senorita and her father was an American. Mother Daniels insisted on naming her and that is how she got the name B right from Spain itself. Many of the girls I introduce to you have been stenogs, waitresses, chorus girls, telephone operators and so forth in their early days, but here is an exception. Bebe has never been anything else but an actress, and hopes d with a jar of cold cream in one hand and a towel in the other. The first time she ever looked a Klieg in the face was at the age of eight, and it was for the old Selig company which has been gathered to its heavenly reward. She was in and out of pictures all during her early days, and in and out of school, but the die was cast, for once a Klieg shines on you you are never the same again. Her first screen part of any consequence was as the charming girl to Harold Lloyd's comedy in his pioneer one-reelers. The Spanish in Hebe still comes out, in addition to those Hashing black eyes and olive skin, for it shows in the broadswords, cutlasses, rapiers and galleons which decorate the walls of her home. And when she gives a party and puts on the castanets and dances a fandango the green fire of jealousy leaps from the eyes of the ladies and the men get down on their knees and recite poetry. Bebe lives with her mother and grandmother, and the number is 802 North Roxbury Drive, Hollywood, but be careful, boys, be careful—Ben Lyon is probably there and he has been' at Bebe's house so much that swinging a cutlas comes as naturally to him as chop-sticks to a Chinaman. Just ask if that is where Mrs. Jones or Mrs. Smith lives, say "Oh, pardon me; I guess I must of got the wron? number," and walk briskly toward the street, CEEEEGP Wm^Fim FREE Trial EASY Ter ms 4 -Row Keyboard Senttolbu, for Only Think of it — only SI brings the world's most famous UnderIypewritiT for 10 days* Free Trial.
