192 THE TWENTIES If one were to ask, "Who was the most beautiful woman ever seen on the screen?" there would be a chorus of answers, with few of them agreeing. One thing is certain: the lovely Hungarian, Vilma Banky, would be one of the selections. This beautifully composed scene is from Night of Love, produced by Samuel Goldwyn, directed by George Fitzmauricc, and costarring Miss Banky and Ronald Colman. BELOW In the summer of 1927 Miss Banky married Rod La Rocque. At the time, she was Goldwyn's favorite star, and to celebrate the occasion he gave her a wedding that is still a Hollywood legend. Practically every screen luminary in Hollywood attended, together, needless to say, with a horde of rabid fans who literally tore the bride's gown to pieces. This picture of the newlyweds and their ushers will give you a chance to see what some famous screen personalities looked like in civilian clothes. Left to right: Harold Lloyd, Ronald Colman, Donald Crisp, Samuel Goldwyn, Miss Banky, Rod La Rocque, Cecil B. DeMille, Victor Varconi, George Fitzmaurice, and Jack Holt.
