Picture-Play Magazine (Jan - Jun 1930)

The Stroll er Continued from page 57 The civic art commission called the director on the carpet. He explained, "You see, we were photographing in color, and the statues didn't look just right, heing a plain white when we were making a color picture, so we fixed them up to be really beautiful." The star had been attracted by one of the supporting players, a pretty, young girl, who had an inviting look about her. The star, being that sort of a star, promptly introduced himself and launched into an intimate conversation leading to a date. The girl saw this coming and quickly asked, "Don't you think a girl gets the best results on the screen if she actually lives her part, even off the set, during production of a picture?" The star also considered himself quite artistic, so spoke in the affirmative for fifteen minutes, and then got down to facts. He asked the girl for a date. "But you just said I couldn't go out with you," said the girl. "I did not." "You just said I should live my part, even off the set. And I'm the good girl in this picture." One of our most famous composers goes on a concert tour every year. He is a real artist, and real artists, according to theory, are irresponsible and incapable of grasping such a subject as finance. This musician had his tour lined up and pulled his usual stunt at the first town. One of the women's clubs was paying him $1,000 for his concert. The morning of the performance he was invited to be a guest at a luncheon that noon, and would he please bring his fiddle along? He did, and he played, and nobody came to the pay performance in the evening. Now he has a guardian who carries his music and checks the violin to the box office. It is only given to him after the house is big enough to pay expenses. In addition to scenario writers, many players are antique collectors. One boasts that he has the ice box in which Cleopatra cooled the limeade she proffered to Anthony. Another has the cup from which Socrates drank the hemlock. It is being used for the same purpose today. Another has the saxophone on which Nero played while Rome burned. He has irrefutable proof to convince any one that Nero did not play a fiddle, and that saxophones really caused the decline of the Roman Empire. One has a copy of the stock Equity contract employed by Tacitus in signing players for his costume plays, while the last has a copy of the first triangular love drama, inscribed on its front page, "Copyright, 4008 B. C. Screen rights reserved by author." Is Marriage Like That Nov?? Continued from page 32 Ernestine are around. James Gleason not only boasts of the fact that he and Lucille Webster have been married almost a quarter of a century, but produces Russell, their twenty-one-year-old offspring, as actual proof. Now I ask you, in the words of Milt Gross, "Is diss a seestem?" The stag line, too, is almost as hard hit. Of what good to Hollywood gentlemen to show a preference for blondes when Kay Johnson and Ann Harding are madly in love with their own husbands, John Cromwell and Harry Bannister? Or what price Claudette Colbert's and Barbara Stanwyck's beauty when it is all tied up in marriage knots with Norman Foster and Frank Fay? If all the eligible girls like Lois Moran, Josephine Dunn, Marceline and Alice Day, Mary Brian, Dorothy Sebastian, Anita Page, Renee Adoree, Joan and Constance Bennett, and Jean Arthur were to join forces — or is it hands ? — with all the eligible boys like Richard Dix, Lawrence Gray, Ramon Novarro, Nils Asther, William Haines, Frank Albertson, Jack Oakie, Russell Gleason, William Bakewell, and Joel McCrea, their predicament might prove less problematical. If they don't, they are apt to find the second generation, including Lina Basquette Warner, Charles Spencer Chaplin II., Adrienne Bennett Fox, Mary Hay Barthelmess, Gloria Mildred Lloyd, Antonia Boardman Vidor, Sydney Chaplin, Patricia Carroll Rutland, Joseph Swanson, and Sheila Kane Fitzmaurice growing up and beating: them to it !
