LOVE CHARM COMPANY, 1814 Franklin Avenue, St. Louis, Mo., Dept. 108-B Ten Years Ago in Photoplay THE following item appears obscurely in a back page of the issue of Photoplay for February, 1920— "Jean Acker, who has been appearing in Metro productions, and Rudolph Valentino, a leading man, were principals in a speedily arranged marriage last month at the home of Joseph Engel, in Hollywood. Valentino proposed in the afternoon, was accepted, procured the marriage license at the home of the county clerk, and the two were married at midnight." Only that and nothing more. Before the Front Page days, but even then Rudy worked fast. A LOT of striking pictures unreel and get reviewed this month. We lead off with "Eyes of Youth," in which the eyes of Clara Kimball Young cut up, and follow with "Scarlet Days," a D. W. Griffith picture which had in its cast such folk as Clarine Seymour, Carol Dempster, Richard Barthelmess and Ralph Graves. Maurice Tourneur had just made the first film version of Joseph Conrad's "Victory," with Jack Holt, Seena Owen, Wally Beery, Lon Chaney and Bull Montana. Wally Reid's new picture is "Hawthorne, U. S. A.," and Bill Hart wears a dinner coat in "John Petticoats" — one of his frequent efforts to get away from the little pinto hoss and that thar open-space nobility. And our reviewer hands a panning to the new Chaplin picture! It is called "A Day's Pleasure," and our professional observer says it is a little too vulgar here and there to be quice right for the women and kiddies. OLIVE THOMAS, the first Mrs. Jack Pickford who was to die so tragically in Paris, writes us a long piece on the "Follies" girls who had made good in pictures up to 1920. On the list, besides herself, were Martha Mansfield, Mae Murray, Marion Davies, Rubye de Remer, Kay Laurel. Oh yes — and Will Rogers. . . . Here are what the stars arc getting in 1920, according to a story in the February issue — Nazimova, $13,000; Geraldine Farrar, $10,000 (when she isn't in opera for less); Theda Bara, Marguerite Clark, Elsie Ferguson, Viola Dana, and a host of others ranging from $1,000 to $5,000. It is interesting to note that in 1928 Mme. Nazimova, after going broke making pictures of her own, appeared with the Civic Repertory group, an art theater, in New York, for almost nothing a week, playing great tragic roles from her repertoire. T\ XHOA! Here's Eric von Stroheim getting W choked by a jealous husband! It's a scene from his first big success, "Blind Husbands." In 1920, Von had more hair, and was even then wearing his bangles on his wrist. A PICTURE of Bert Lytell hugging Alice ■**• Lake for the camera. Good old Bert, in 1930, is getting married again — this time to Grace Menken. ... A picture of Dorothy Dalton as Chrysis in "Aphrodite" on the stage. How that show made the boys sit up and stare ten years ago! . . . Marguerite Snow, Jimmy Cruze's first wife, is back in pictures. . . . Jane Novak, the beautiful blonde, is joining Mickey Neilan's company. ... A film magazine in Denmark just wound up a popularity contest. Mary Pickford won it, with Marguerite Clark a good second. Fairbanks topped the men, followed by Bill Hart. . . . Comedian Ford Sterling is being sued for divorce by Teddy Sampson, and Pauline Frederick is legally requesting freedom Ten years ago Nazimova was getting $13,000 a week in Metro films. In 1928 she was appearing on a New York stage for very little indeed from Willard Mack. . . . And they say that Lottie Pickford is returning to the screen. MARY PICKFORD'S newest is "Heart of the Hills," in which she romps and suffers about the mountings, in the company of Claire MacDowell, Sam de Grasse and Fred Huntley. Kitten, New York. — Al Jolson has never been in pictures, but you can reach him by mail at the Winter Garden, New York. Maurice Costello will probably send you a picture. Write him care Vitagraph, Brooklyn. Marjorie Daw is 17. Send along the cupcakes. I am four million years old, and hang my whiskers over the foot of the bed at night. Oh, yes — Bebe Daniels is 19, and is now with Yes, Mr. De Mille! Hot Tamale [ CONTINUED FROM PACE 45 ] advised his partner, preparing himself for a nap. After a lunch at San Diego, they rolled across the border and arrived at the steel and stucco magnificence of the Agua Caliente Jockey Club. Mr. Torrance herded the president into the clubhouse, where Violetta lay in wait on a green wicker lounge. The blase Mr. Zoop trotted briskly through the mob of weathered habitues and then permitted his jaw to hang slack as he caught sight of his future employee. Under Spook's tutelage the girl had discarded her Hill Street silhouette for the native garments. A ruffled skirt of midnight blue, slashed with scarlet, billowed almost to the floor, an orange basque showed her trimly arched back to its best advantage, and the Andalusian eyes shone like velvet from Every advertisement in TMIOTOPLAY MAGAZINE is guaranteed.
