Pictures and the Picturegoer (Jan-Dec 1925)

AUGUST 1925 Pictures and P/chjrepuer 51 MOVIE GOSSIP OF THE MONTH John Barrymore will make two further productions for Warner Bros., but he is not thinking about filming 4 Hamlet." A very Wild Western restaurant ^^ nourishes in Hollywood not far from Universal City. It belongs to Raymond McKee, the screen actor, who started it, more or less in fun. It is a rough kind of hut, with " no carpet on the floor, no knocker on the door," nor any other things but chairs, forms and wooden tables. There is also a complete absence of knivesand forks. "It's a Western restaurant," says Ray, " and the guests must eat regular cowboy fashion—with their fingers." But it is only fair to add that the food is served so that this is not as uncouth as it sounds. Anyway, it is always full, especially after studio hours. /^\ne of the coming directors is Millard ^*^ Webb, who made The Dark Swan and many other Warner features. Millard has recently married Dorothy Wallace, of Merry-Go-Round fame. Dorothy was the wife of the hero, a lady who was killed off in a subtitle lo allow for the happy ending. Dicturegoers who enjoyed the Famous Masters of Music series will be glad to know that a second series, containing amongst others, Chopin and Wagner, will be released shortly. Duster Keaton has bought " Battling Butler " and will star in it. We had hoped to see Jack Buchanan do this, but doubtless Battling Buster will be tremendously popular. YY/e never knew Blanche Sweet had anything up against Scotland. But she writes us that her new film titled The Lady from Hell is about a certain " Lady Margaret," who came from the Scotch Highlands! Well, well. We live and learn, aon't we?. Blanche has now joined Ass. First National on a long term contract. Cir James Barrie is writing a special screen fantasy for Betty Bronson, which will be Paramount's Xmas offering for 1925. Dill Hart's umpteenth return to the screen is now in full swing. His first picture is called Titinblci^ced. ""The over-bright sunlight and the prevalent fashion of wearing no hat at the seaside is responsible for many headaches these days. And nine out of every ten sufferers fly to Aspirins for relief. The great disadvantage of ordinary Aspirin is it's insolubility, which is liable to make it upset the heart and stomach. But Litmopyrine, which is Soluble Aspirin is absolutely safe, rapid in artion, and reliable in every way. To enable every one to test its effectiveness a sample tube of Litmopyrine tablets will be sent free. See page 61. I_Iave you ever noticed that the people who get to the top of the ladder of success, are those who are popular with everybody, both socially and in business? You call it luck, maybe, but there's more to it than that. Eight little books by Dr. Blackford give the great result of being able to hold people's interest and becoming a popular idol everywhere. Read their advert, on page 65 it is worth your while. \Y/ill everybody please note that all the " Snaps with Stars " taken at PICTUREGOER POST CARD PARLOR are on view at " Photographia," Golders Green (Finchley Road, opposite Golders Green Tube Station), where copies can be obtained at a very low charge. 0R0SSMI1HS *> I* PERFUME \Jhe Scent cj\Slraby ALL the subtle fascination of Eastern mystery is transferred to the woman who uses Shem-el-Neisim.
