Pictures and the Picturegoer (Jan-Dec 1924)

REMOVES HAIR LIKE MAGIC. Nothing is so repellent and disillusioning as hair growth on the arms of a woman. Every suggestion of daintiness is instantly destroyed. For removing unwanted hair growths of any kind there is nothing so effective and pleasant to use as Veet. Veet is a new perfumed velvety cream that has entirely superseded noxious dangerous depilatories. It is far better than scraping razors, which only make the hair grow faster and thicker each time they are used. Whereas razors and ordinary depilatories merely remove hair above the skin surface, Veet melts the hair away beneath it. Simplyjspread it on as it comes from the tube, wait a few minutes, rinse it off, and the hair is gone as if by magic. The many and obvious uses of Veet will appeal to all women. Satisfactory results guaranteed in every case or money is returned. Veet may be obtained for 3/6 at all chemists, hairdressers and stores, or it is sent post paid in plain wrapper for 4/-.

Pierre 5 and Pichure poer "YY/e met Irene Haisman last month at the Rialto, London, and we were charmed with her. Reginald Denny had promised to attend the first showing of his picture, The Reckless Age, there, but he was so far behind schedule owing to his accident, that Universal could not spare him, so Mrs. Denny deputised very well indeed and won a rousing reception at every performance. She is an English girl, from Rochester, Kent, and was on the stage here before she met Reg. Very vivacious, is Mrs. Reg, with brown shingled hair and magnificent dark eyes. " Y(/e hope," she said, " Reg and I, to come together this time next year. We are awfully glad to think British fans like the Reginald Denny pictures, and he gets loads of mail from here." It appears that Denny's accident was more serious than was made public and for some weeks it was doubtful if he would ever walk again. " It came about through a fishing party," she told us. " Reg always likes a day in the open when he gets an odd day or two off work, and he and some friends went out and caught pounds and pounds of fish. They filled his big car completely, and on their way home the bunch started distributing them to various friends. They were going pretty fast some time after midnight along a freak road a certain Californian crank constructed as a warning to speed fiends. Well, I suppose they were speeding — a bit. " A nyhow, the car turned over, and the load of fish didn't help matters. The first thing I knew was when someone phoned me next morning to go to to the hospital. We feared very much that my husband's career was ended. But, thank goodness, when he was taken out of the plaster cast he'd lived in for three weeks he was as good as new." Mrs. Denny confessed to having " done occasional bits " in films, but she has no desire to go on the screen, " Though my seven-year-old daughter," she remarked, "is a film fan and a film fiend, but we hope she'll grow out of it." Mrs. Reg took back with her our best wishes to Reg, who is one of the most popular stars of to-day, and the only one on the screen anywhere near qualifying for the place left vacant bv Wally Reid. Llans Kraeli, who wrote The Marriage Circle for Lubitsch, has just finished a comedy scenario for Constance Talmadge. Richard Talmadge is. now at work in F.B.O Studios (U.S.A.) and will make four films for them. The first is titled American Manners and is directed by James H. Home. jWTonte Blue has landed one of the * plums of the Full pudding. He is playing " Deburau " in The Lover of Camille, which is the screen version of Sacha Guitry's play " Debureau." SEPTEMBER 1924 (^ loria Swanson is to make a film in ^"^ Paris shortly and Charles de Roche will return to his native city as her leading man. T_Jarold Lloyd's new one, Hubby, is almost ready for American release. Jobyna Ralston, Josephine Lowell and Mickey McBann are with him. /^\ne of the great moments in Movie^^ land arrived when Herbert Brenon announced that his " Peter Pan " would be Betty Bronson, a hitherto unknown American girl. In a little room overlooking the Thames, with the stars shining outside — and who knows ? — perhaps " Peter " himself listening carefully at the wide open windows, Brenon told an interested little gathering as much as he could make public about this movie. "We shall use a lot of children," he said, " thus keeping to the idea of youth that is Peter Pan. And ' Tinker Bell,' will be seen as well as heard — but she will be only about 5 inches high." T_Je then read us a message, whose carefullv careless wording, to che effect mentioned above, was decidedly intriguing. Brenon denied its authorship so did O'Connor (of Lasky's). They said it was simply a statement. Anyway it congratulated the winner and condoled with the others and concluded, referring to Betty Bronson, with the words, " She is seventeen years old." It also stated that Barrie had come from France to select " Peter " and had now returned. But one had, despite protestations and denials, a persistent vision of Barrie himself seated at his desk, his wonderfully bright dark eyes smiling mischievously as he penned those intentionally misleading phrases. As for Brenon himself, a ten-years' old dream is now realised, and we wish him the success, which, hebeingHerbert Brenon, is bound to be his when Peter Pan materialises in celluloid.
