Photoplay (Jan - Jun 1933)

If you have a house wedding, will the invitations be worded just as they would for a church ceremony? Do you need invitations and announcements both? It isn't merely a matter of choice. There's a definite and established procedure for almost every single detail of a wedding . . . even the simplest wedding. And while it seems a bit silly, it's nevertheless true that, in etiquette, there's usually one right way . . . and all the others are wrong! Linweave . . . maker of fine wedding papers . . . has compiled a complete little booklet that is beautifully illustrated called "The Etiquette of Wedding Invitations and Announcements."

Until it heard that he had invited Miss Valli and other guests for a sail on his boat. And then by coincidence, the following day Peck arrived from San Francisco. For the next week, Hollywood passed into a stage of near-lunacy when so many exciting events happened. Janet and Lydell applied for a marriage license and set the wedding date for five days later. Then Lydell returned to San Francisco to arrange for the ceremony and a honeymoon in Honolulu. The marriage took place in San Francisco, after which the newlyweds sailed for Honolulu. Not so many months after Janet's return to Hollywood with her new husband, Charlie decided to go to Europe. He bought two tickets; one was for Carlton Hoechstra, his financial secretary. The two men sped for the East Coast, intending to board a ship out of New York harbor without delay. But when they arrived in New York, Miss Valli was there, visiting her friend Colleen Moore. Charlie and Virginia saw each other many times; in fact, he missed three boats. Then he and Virginia eloped and were married and sailed for Europe on their honeymoon. Hoechstra, Charlie's secretary, returned to Hollywood, somewhat chagrined. The new Mrs. Farrell had traveled on the ticket originally purchased for his use. *V\ Then Virginia and Charlie returned to ** Hollywood, they and Janet and Lydell became the most noted foursome in the city. Yachting parties, dances, public appearances of every description. Hollywood settled down into comfortable breathing. Everyone was going to live happily ever after in true fairy story fashion.

It reminds one of the very proper little girl who strolled into the parlor while her mother was entertaining a very proper neighbor and when mother asked her small daughter what she'd like to play, the child replied: "I wanna jump in the mud puddles and get all dirty." BEING garbed in white constantly becomes irksome. A touch of scarlet lends interest. Dramatically speaking, it is the piquant sauce which Ruth Chatterton has added to a career of sober pictures. And Ruth, said to have last word of authority on stories, photography and publicity, may be secretly enjoying the shock she handed her public in those sensational posters on "Frisco Jenny." Yet her Hollywood friends, those who have the interest of her career sincerely at heart, are frankly worried about this change. Fundamentally, Ruth is a lady. Her features have a delicate loveliness. There is about her an air of gentle distinction, of cool lucidity, the result of good breeding. Her personal taste in clothes is faultless. To her is left very often the selecting of her screen wardrobe, for she has a discerning eye born to innate good taste. She was reared in an atmosphere of discipline, supported by respectability, which accounts for a certain preciosity of manner. If she sat cross-legged on the floor, smoking a cigarette and chewing gum, as she has done sometimes, she is still Chatterton — the gentlewoman. And that is why some of her friends believe Ruth's flair for the new type of role will not last. The public will see through the make believe and they will be looking right straight at the lady who is known as Ruth Chatterton, now poorly disguised. Yet wasn't it "Madame X" that put Ruth across in pictures? And surely Madame X was no Park Avenue matron. Chatterton enjoyed doing that picture. Incidentally, it was a great surprise to the studio when it went over with such tremendous success. Then followed some of her ladylike roles. Remember how aristocratically she took those blows from life in "The Doctor's Secret"? And she knew her society set when she played in "A Lady of Scandal." Ruth became raucous once again in "Anybody's Woman," and it was conceded to be one of the best pictures she ever did. Remember how she sat in her undies, strumming a uke in a cheap hotel room — a show girl, broke and out of a job? It was the first time Chatterton had ever changed her appearance, too. Gone were her soft brown locks, and instead she was a hard-hearted platinum blondie not at all remiss to a flirtation across the areaway with the handsome scion, Clive Brook. STRANGE how one remembers this and yet the picture in which she played a farmer's wife and wore a black wig is dimmed. Maybe it is as Chatterton claims, "Nothing dramatic ever happens to a good woman." The future of Chatterton's career is hanging in the balance. Is she to be a rowdy or a lady? Maybe the fates will be kind and dish up a little of each, in proper proportion, so that Chatterton's divided public may all be pleased.

Wally learned other things from the elephants, too. It was always easier for him to handle them as a group. To train one elephant was almost impossible. To train several at a time was comparatively easy. If one of his charges saw another succeeding at a trick, he seemed especially anxious to succeed also. If he saw another plodding ahead with his duties, he seemed actually ashamed to fall down on his part of the job. Thus, elephants are seldom trained singly.
