VAN HOUTEN &ZOON (Distributors) MARQUETTE BLDC, CHICAGO TOPLAY M.\GAZINE — AoVHin ISING SECTION And She Was a Viking's Daughter (Continued) photographer's artist had made beauty grow where there was none. Donovan began to think that the Baroness would not be the enormous success he had hoped. Then came the climax. Publicity department had been busy for weeks preparing elaborate press books on "A Mother's Trial." They had emphasized the highly titled lady who played its leading role. The first coi:)y of an expensive advertising sheet lay on the editor's desk when the Baron and his wife entered the office. They looked at it. " 'Donovan Films, Inc., present the BARONESS DE RETZ in "A Mother's Trial,"'" they read; and immediately retired to a corner for consultation. "You musn't say that," cried the Baron to the editor. "Don't call her 'Baroness.' We don't like to commercialize our title. Call her 'Brunhilde,' and omit 'Baroness.' " "Sorry," said the editor. "Orders. From the front office. You'll have to see Donovan." Which they did. They saw him for two solid hours, two golden hours during which various press sheets were being printed which were later to be destroyed. At the end of that time, Baron and Baroness took the elevator to the street. Terry Donovan burst into the publicity office. Because he had shifted his quid of tobacco from left jaw to right, the editor knew he was angry. "Tear up all your copy on 'A Mother's Trial,' " he stormed. "If you've printed anything, throw it away. I'll send you down new billing." In the calmer hours, it came. "Donovan Films, Inc., present 'A Mother's Trial,' with Warren Grande and an all-star cast." Furthermore orders stipulated that all mention of the Baroness was to be deleted and all pictures of her thrown out. In the cast of characters she was to be mentioned merely as 'Brunhilde.' No other reference was to be made. "Warren Grande?" the director's assistant I said when asked about h'm. "Oh, he's some unimportant slob that plays in three I or four scenes. Of course there ain't no stars : in the thing. The biggest part is played by the Baroness. "Only she ain't a Baroness. She got scared when she saw it printed in your advertising book. She was a Swede servant girl and her husband was a life saver at Coney Island. Sure, Donovan knew it all the time." Q> uestions and Answers (Continued) Marie, Canada. — House Peters is still in pictures. His recent release was "Love, Honor and Obey" in which he starred. Address Brunton Studio, Los Angeles, CaL Elsie Ferguson is thirty-seven and married to a man in private life. Ah, Marie, thank you for your expression of love. I am quite, quite fussed. I know not ze French. M. L., Pittsburgh. — Your Irishman, Eugene O'Brien, was born in Denver — but write to him anyway. If one went to Fort Lee would one meet the film stars? I don't know about stars — but I do know -about ferries, and rocky roads, and slow streetcars— I went to Fort Lee once. O'Brien, Selznick, 72Q Seventh Avenue, New York City.
