Photoplay (1923)

Photoplay Magazine — Advertising Section <iAlive! (i^ademoiselle Perfume? — hein. But living flowers, a living odeur ! That, one must admit, is a rapier of another edge ! It is to live. Mademoiselle. And to let others know one lives. From Lournay it comes, this miracle in perfume making. A live odeur— the pulsating, tantalizing fragrance of liv ing flowers for the first time imprisoned in articles de toilette ! As different as life from existence—as the laughing vintages of France from the sombreness of the Italian! Vivante! — living flowers to contrast the artificiality of perfume. PARIS 7 Rue de I'sly NEW YORK 366 Fifth Avenue You may obtain a small vial of Lournay ^';vante by sending 15 cents to our American address. Eyton was formerly the wife of Charles Eyton, Paramount's production manager, whose present wife is the statuesque Kathlyn Williams of the films. JACKIE COOGAN'S Uncle George is a J chorus man in "Little Nellie Kelly," a musical entertainment now playing in Manhattan. Yea, even so. A S soon as Leatrice Joy can get around to it, -**-she will go back to California and get married. What? Oh, she married Jack Gilbert before he got his final decree of divorce. And so when her picture-making activities permit, she will join Jack on the coast and become Mrs. Gilbert all over again. Olivia Burrell Gilbert and her husband were married in 191 8, and a few months later decided to go their separate way. In 1922 Jack was given an interlocutory decree; and two weeks after married Leatrice Joy in Mexico. Legally a person cannot remarry until he has received his final divorce decree. And there you are. FOX has bought Channing Pollock's play, "The Fool," for the screen. Here's hoping none other than James Kirkwood plays the title role. It wouldn't be right. AT the annual meeting of the National Board of Review, in New York recently, it was decided that there is little or no art to be found in the present day motion picture. It was one point upon which all those present agreed heartily. Walter Pritchard Eaton, Kenneth MacGowan, and Clayton Hamilton made speeches. Mr. Hamilton, incidentally, was the only person present who had ever had the remotest connection with the producing end of the films. And he was the least condemnatory. WILLARD MACK is back in pictures. Joe Schenck has put him to work as head of the Talmadge scenario department. .Among other recent Schenck activities was the purchase of the United Studios in Hollywood, where all future productions starring Norma, Constance and Buster will be made. IN "Hunting Big Game," the travel pictures, actual scenes in a diamond mine are shown. Proving that the Hollywood idea of a diamond mine is as far as possible from the truth. Remember in "Pink Gods" the black boj's picked the diamonds right out of the dirt and stole the stones by swallowing them? Later the natives were shown being examined by X-rays, and the diamonds in their stomachs were seen to be prettily cut and polished. It wouldn't do some directors any harm to see "Hunting Big Game." RICHARD DIX is now a member of the Paramount stock company. He w^as signed after the companj saw his work in Agnes Ayres' picture, " Racing Hearts." AS Alicia, Dtichess de Delille, heroine of Ibanez' "The Enemies of Women," Alma Rubens is required to lose a fortune as a victim of the Casino wheel at Monte Carlo. Alma's company went to the real location for the scenes. .^fter the Duchess had feverishly played and lost, and the director had called "cut," the JMiss Rubens announced. "I've picked the right color every time. If I'd really been playing at the stakes Alicia did, I figure I'd have won about 250,000 francs." THERE is another Mary Hay Barthelmess now. She arrived on the last day of January', and managed to hold up work on "The Bright Shawl" for a day or two. That's Papa's new picture, j'ou know. LYMAN H. HOWE, one of the pioneers in the film industry, is dead. He was an exhibitor of motion pictures in 1896. Lately Lyman Howe's "Ride on a Runawaj' Train" delighted audiences everywhere. "D Y the way, it isn't generally known thai ■'-'Mary Hay is writing the music for a play in which she will appear next season. Little Mrs. Barthelmess is an accomplished musician, but this will be the first occasion for the public to applaud her talent. pAULINE G.\ROX, the theater's prize flapper, is back in New York, flapping her way through George Melford's "You Can't Fool Your Wife," or "Can Your Wife Fool You?" out at the Paramount studios. .-Xnyway, one of those "wife" titles. Pauline has been showing New York to Shannon Day. The engaging Pauline is one of the bright sights of film ^lanhattan. .\nd people still recall her famous remark — anyway, she's said to have said it — upon meeting George Jean Nathan. Looking up in approved flapper fashion Pauline said, "And what do you do?" TE don't know how true it is; but someone ''V who was standing by told us that D. W. Griffith, directing a scene for "The WTiite Rose," said to his leading lady while thej' were rehearsing : "Well, since Photoplay says I have been doing the same thing over and over for years, we'll have to think up a different way to do it this time." A LTHOUGH you might never guess it from ■**-his sinister characterizations, Lowell Sherman doesn't take himself seriously'. Quite the contrarj'. He likes to make up names for his plays. He rechristened "iloonlight and Honeysuckle," "Moonlight and Succotash" and "The Easiest Way," "The Fleeciest W'ay." And just now he is getting as much enjoyment out of his evil noble man in "The Masked Woman" as his audiences are. In the last act, he rivals Gloria Swanson as a clothes-horse. He wears a mar%-ellous negligee with a broad band of sable for a collar. And a sinister set of whiskers. And how the matinee girb love to hate him! WANDA H.\WLEY is seeking a divorce from her husband, Allen Burton Hawley, whose only job for some time, avers Wanda, has been just being her husband. In other words, she claims, he has permitted his blonde wife to support him on the salary she receives as a screen actress; that he has dissipated the money, and has. besides, been brutal on occasions, at least so says Wanda. It has been generally assumed that the Hawleys were one of the happily married couples in filmdom, and that .\llen Hawlej was the prosperous proprietor of a HoUj-vvood garage. But before Wanda sailed for Europe to make pictures there, she filed her suit. And it looks as if she will get her divorce. TRMXG TH.\LBERG, the "boy manager" of •^Universal, has resigned and Julius Bemheim has been appointed hy Carl Laemmle to take his place. Thalberg, who, at twenty-two, was promoted from stenographer to manager of the big film concern, is expected to take the same position with the Louis B. ^Mayer company. IN a deal involving over Si. 500,000, Joe Schenck has purchased the controlling hold in the United Studios and will move his producing units from the IMetro studios back to the big L^nited organization. Schenck, who is the husband of Norma Talmadge and producer of her films and those of her sister Constance, has owned stock in this concern for some time, but the present investment makes him president and chief stockholder. M. C. Levee, former head of the United Studios, will remain as active manager of the studios. The United Studios is one of the largest motion picture plants in Holh-\vood and is located on Alelrose Avenue near Western. Every advertisement in rHOTOri.AT MAG.\ZIXE Is guaranteed.
