Photoplay (Jan-Jun 1930)

Photoplay Magazine for June, 1930 for Lady Mountbatten. The dinner was given at Pickfair, but Mary wanted to assemble her guests later at the Embassy for dancing. Also, she would have liked some of Corinne's guests at her own table. The third person to enter the melee was John Considine, the United Artists executive, who was entertaining for Eastern friends. He also wanted to have his parry at the Embassy. A few of Corinne's guests doubled in brass from one rjarty to the other, but she had the club to herself, and for the entire evening. But two or three people were pretty mad about it. Guess who! THE easy life of one picture a year has sort of palled on Mary Pickford. Hereafter she will make three pictures a year, which must be pretty upsetting to a staid place like United Artists. Recently the studio has been just sort of a social hall for visiting celebrities. An awfully nice place to give teas, and Doug still has his gymnasium there. Mary is starting the busy life with "Forever Yours," a story which carries the star from a young girl to old age. Incidentally, "Forever Yours" is an adaptation of "Secrets," one of Norma Talmadge's most successful pictures. It will be rewritten for Mary. IF you think stars don't study their parts, consider this: "Let Us Be Gay" played at a Hollywood legitimate theater while it was being filmed as a movie at M-G-M. Violet Heming, stage star, played the lead in the stage play. And Norma Shearer, playing the lead in the talkie, saw the play four times the very first week! I" IKE a million and one other girls, on and off ■'-'the screen, Ina Claire had always wondered how she would look with Titian hair. But she didn't have the nerve to try it! So Fate stepped in. Visiting New York for a few days, she decided that a henna rinse would be a fine tonic for hair that was dulled by the dust of cross-continent travel. Just one of those quick rinses that burnish up lights without altering the color. Just as Mrs. Jack Gilbert's head was nicely packed in henna, the building engineer decided to turn off all the water to make some repairs to the pipes. Battalions of armed guards with bayonets soon changed his mind for him. But by the time the henna was rinsed away, Ina was a brick-top. And how she hated it ! After frantic treatment with peroxide bleaches, she finally emerged as flaxen-haired as the blondest fraulein, several shades lighter than her own color but decidedly becoming. XTO less an authority than Sam Goldwyn, ■1-^her boss, has hinted that Vilma Banky is through, according to current report. The accent, says Sam, has licked the Hungarian Rhapsody, who shot up like a rocket after her first American appearance opposite Ronald Colman. And in spite of the fact of her fine work in the talkie, "A Lady to Love." Add to this grief the report that she and Rod La Rocque are having marriage trouble and you have a considerable load of woe for the gorgeous Vilma to tote. Too bad, Vilma thrilled us. As she comes down, another Goldwyn actress, Lily Damita, goes up. Her French speech is considered cute for the talkies, and she is in demand. Lily, by the way, had a grand season of it in "Sons o' Guns," the Broadway musical comedy smash. TW'AYBE Laurel and Hardy think they're ■'■"■'■famous. Maybe they are. Anyway, this happened at the preview of the Whiteman l37 Why 85% of America's leading hospitals use Kotex absorbent Because of its comfort and hygienic value, Kotex absorbent is used today by 85% of our great hospitals.
