Cake — packed in asmart,sltm, silvery compact — $1.00. Winx doesn' t run or smudge. For \^ovely hashes VICTOR McLAGLEN proved that there's still a dash of Merrie England left in him when he met President Hoover recently. Vic, portrayer of he-man 100-per-centAmerican roles on the screen, kept calling the President "Your Worship," all through their 45-minute interview. A ripping bit o' news, eh, what? ITZI GREEN is the latest Hollywood scene stealer. Even the kids in the M youngster films are saying to each other, "Watch Mitzi. Don't let her have it all." Clever little trouper, Mitzi. She has learned young to protect her own interests in a business where there is no one else to protect them. CPEAKING of scene stealing, they tell this '-'one on Edmund Lowe — who is considered, according to rumor, one of the best in the business. In "Scotland Yard" he played a dual role. Even played opposite himself in some scenes. They marked off the exact spots where he was to stand and walk so when they dubbed in the other half (himself in the other role) the scenes would match exactly. When contract time arrived Joan thought she should have more money and she knew that she was not wise enough to battle with the smart executives at the studio, so she took unto herself a manager. She's never had one before. Phil Berg is the manager's name, and he's Leila Hyams' husband. It was a wise move, and the new contract has been signed at a great big increase in salary. WELL, anyway — there's a plumber in Hollywood named Hokom. And where'd be a better place for him? TV THEN Marlene Dietrich first came to »V Hollywood she was assigned one of the simplest dressing rooms on the Paramount lot. Furthermore, she was too timid and felt herself too unimportant to ask for a telephone. But everything changes when money clinks at the box-office. Now Marlene has a new dressing room. It is all done in style modcmc and has a kitchenette, electric refrigeration, etc., etc., etc. nTHEY burned up the telegraph wires and the * telephone asking Mrs. Lawrence Tibbett if it were true that the famous Lawrence was in Reno to get a divorce. Seems that Lawrence was on his way to San Did You Miss the First Puzzle Pictures? Never you mind! Send a postcard request to the Picture Puzzle Contest, PHOTOPLAY MAGAZINE, 919 N.

But Eddie is so used to stepping back in a scene so the person playing with him will have to turn his or her back to the camera (a very old trick) that he kept stepping back in "Scotland Yard." He forgot that he was stepping back on himself — whom he was playing opposite. In fact, they had to show him the film to prove to him that he was cheating himself out of some very good acting. RAMON NOVARRO plays some scenes in "Son of India" where he must look peaked; have lines. He lived on nothing but orange juice for a week so his face would have natural lines. "Why don't you paint them in?" someone inquired. "That's not art," Ramon answered. However, we happen to know Ramon goes without anything to eat but orange juice for at least a week, twice a year. He thinks it is good training in abstinence and he also believes it is a good rest for the digestive system. So he combined art with his regular custom in this instance. NOW that it's all settled the story can be told. For the first time in her life Joan Crawford's been having contract trouble. Although she's been getting good bonuses on her pictures, Joan's salary has not been in any way commensurate with her draw at the boxoffice Francisco to fill a concert engagement. Thinking to get there sooner, he got off the train at Reno to see if arrangements could be made whereby he could finish his journey by airplane. He found that he could not and climbed back on his train again. Somebody saw him on the Reno platform and immediately decided that he must, like all the rest of the Nevada town's visitors, be there for a divorce. Another disappointment for the scandal hounds. LITTLE Robert Coogan and his mother went to a downtown theater to see the kid's first picture, "Skippy." On their way out Robert was recognized by an autograph hunter who asked for his signature. Mrs. Coogan was in a hurry and, remembering her experiences with Jackie, knew that if she stopped, a crowd would gather and they'd be a long time getting away. So she said, " I'm sorry, but Robert's such a little boy he can't write." To which Bobby indignantly piped up, "Why, I can, too. Sure I'll sign. I can print my name." KEEPING up with Lola Lane and Lew Ayres is a job for one reporter. No one Hollywood couple have broken it off and made it up so often. But it's all right — this month, at least.
