Picture-Play Magazine (Jul - Dec 1930)

120 be makes more films will doubtless depend (in the financial return of his "Vagafoond Lover." Alexander Gray is in his early thirties and is a widower. Fhenchy Fanny.— So you want your curiosity satisfied, do you? Just cutting out my life's work for me, that's all! And 1 thought I had said over and over that almost none of the screen stars makes a home address public. They all move every two months in Hollywood, anyhow, Gary Cooper was born May 7, 1901. Dilys Owen.— Go on, hurl bouquets of all shapes and sizes at me, as you say, and in my old age I can retire into a flower garden. In "Cobra," Valentino's chief supporting players were Nita Naldi, Casson Ferguson, and Gertrude Olmsted. Wanda Ilawley played opposite Rudy, in "The Young Rajah," with Charles Ogle, Fanny Midgeley, and Robert Ober prominent in the cast also. Pendleton, in "For Love of Mike," was played by Skeets Gallagher. Aileen Pringle was leading lady in "The Great Deception." In "The Night of Love," Davie Beatrix was played by Natalie Kingston. Lars Hansen, I fear, has concluded bis American movie career. He went home in great disgust at the kind of roles he had been obliged to play. Richard Walling is the son of William Walling, character actor. He was formerly a camera man who was given a chance in films and made good, although he hasn't done much lately. Bee.— There, there, Bee, don't be so impatient. May Picture Play was already on the presses when your letter was written, so how could I publish your answers in that issue? Chester Morris is twentyeight years old and married. Janet Gaynor's husband, Lydell Peck, might be a little annoyed at your suggestion that Janet and Charlie Farrell are in love with each other. Janet is twenty-three. Buddy Rogers is still single. And Alice White began life as a blonde — though I should hardly call her a natural blonde, at that! H. F. — The picture you describe, in which you think Rod La Rocque played, sounds like a slightly inaccurate description of "Resurrection." Is that the one? Information, Please Dolores del Rio was the heroine. Dolores is 25 years old. Lupe Velez was first starred about a year ago. She is 21. Kit and Kat. — I hope you pay up your bets, because you lose! Unless you crawl out by a technicality. Joan Crawford is not five years older than Doug, Jr., but she is four and two thirds years older. She was born March 23. 1906, and Doug, Jr., was born December 9, 1910. In "The Forward Pass," Ed was played by Allen Lane. Elliott Nugent was born in Dover, Ohio, September 20, 1901. He is about six feet tall. Stanley Smith was born January 6, 1907. I don't know who Robert Montgomery's girl friend is, if any. Mrs. R. W. McKay.— The birthdays you ask for — if the players give them — are as follows : Carol Lombard, October 6th; Natalie Kingston, May 19th; Lilyan f ashman, October 23rd; none of them gives tl-e year. Charmaine. — You needn't apologize in this department for being inquisitive. If no one were, where would I be? Renee Adoree was born in Lille, France, September 1, about 1901 ; Jean Arthur, Plattsburg, New York, October 17th; Eleanor Boardman, Philadelphia, August 19, 1899; Evelyn Brent, Tampa, Florida, 1899 ; John Miljan, Lead City, South Dakota, November 9th ; Roland Drew, Elmhurst, Long Island, about 1901 ; Douglas Fairbanks, Denver, May 23, 1883 ; Gilbert Roland, Juarez, Mexico, December 11, 1905; Lilyan Tashman, New York City. John Miljan is married to Victoria Hale. Miss B. E. — Probably the reason you have never seen answers to your questions is that you failed to allow time. It takes at least three months for an answer to appear in print. Also, the questions you ask are vague. I don't know of any film called "The Passing Show." A. F. — If my department is an "information counter," does that make me a "counter jumper," as the slang expression goes? I'm sorry to report that I don't know of any stars with birthdays on November 3rd. Don Alvarado comes nearest, with a birthday on the 4th. Dulce Hamlet.— Whoever starts all these dreadful rumors about stars must be my secret enemy, trying to make me work. As to Clara Bow being found dead in the Thames River— I doubt if she ever saw the Thames. And if Buddy Rogers and Dick Arlen had been killed in a motor accident — plus Clara Bow's drowning — you can bet it wouldn't be a rumor. There'd be headlines an inch high in the newspapers. Ramon Novarro was born in Durango, Mexico, February 6, 1899. He has black hair and eyes and gives his height as five feet ten. He can be reached at the Metro-Goldwyn studio, Hollywood. I do not know his home address. Technicolor films are taken on panchromatic film, for which players must use a special kind of make-up. Joseph Sullo, Jr.— I'd be glad to include your fan club in my list, except that you give me no address. Write again. Forty Arlen Fans. — Yes, it is true that Dick was in an automobile accident, but evidently his injuries were not serious, as he returns to work in "The Sea God." Bill Boyd Forever. — Nobody can last that long, not even Bill Boyd. He has made "Crashing Through" and "Painted Desert" since "Officer O'Brien," but he doesn't seem to be as active lately in films as his admirers would like. I don't know Bill, but those who do, consider him a nice fellah. Sly Miss. — How's my rheumatism! With so many letters around, who's got room for rheumatism! Aren't you a bit late getting all steamed up over Edmund Burns? He's played in only about three films in the past year — "Hard to Get," "Tanned Legs," and "After the Fog." Eddie was born in Philadelphia, September 27, 1892. He is six feet two, weighs 170, and has black hair and blue eyes. I never heard of a Mrs. Burns. Mrs. D. E. Kline. — I'm glad to see Leatrice Joy still has her public. She's a charming woman. Leatrice was born in New Orleans in 1897, so is, of course, American. Her real name is Leatrice Joy Zeigler. Leatrice has black hair, brown eyes, is five feet three, and weighs 125.
