Photoplay Magazine for November, 1929 II 1 "Weren't they marvelous to me?" "You had it coming to you. I'm here to sign up some new talent. How'd you like to do a talkie for us?" "Oh, gee, Bernie. Do you think this pan of mine would screen?" ".Sure. Why not? Fannie Brice got away with it." " But think of all the years I've struggled to get on Broadway. Now that I've arrived it seems kinda foolish to give it up for pictures." "Don't be a sap. We can double the salary you're getting here." Bernstein leaned against the makeup shelf. "Remember that kid you sent me — Jack Delancey?" Rcmcmhcr? All these minutes she had been wondering how soon she could ask about him \\^thout Bernstein suspecting her personal interest. "Yes — what about him?" She managed to ask casually. "You signed him up, didn't you?" "■LJE'S a great bet. Only done two pictures ■tT-but he's getting a flock of fan mail already. If he keeps on like he's started we'll make a star out of him in less than a year." "Honestly?" "His next picture's a talkie. He's to play a hoofer on a small time vaudeville circuit.

Already she visualized the names of Jack Delancey and Billie O'Xeil flickering in electric lights. Before he had finished the sentence her mind was made up. The next day she signed her contract. Two weeks later she had parked her makeup box in a dressing room at the Paradox Studio in Holly«'ood. She had not let Jack know she was coming and she had asked Bernstein not to tell him. Womanlike, she wanted to surprise him. She did. He was so surprised that when he tried to introduce her to Odette Dayne, who was with him, he couldn't even think of her name. "It's great to see you again," he stalled. But Billie was so thrilled at seeing him that she did not notice that puzzled, where-have-Iseen-this-dame-before look in his eyes. Blondes will never go out of style as long as they continue to look like Mary Nolan. Mary will next appear in the stellar role of "Shanghai Lady," a Universal all talking special from a play by that eminent Chinese student, John Colton TUSSY GABA IHE wisest women in this world have learned that chic. . . the elusive creature ...is captured hy an invisible net woven of perfect details.
