Picture-Play Magazine (Jan - Jun 1930)

Over The Teacups Continued from page 27 "Paramount is to star Helen Kane," she told me a little breathlessly. "And that sounds just lovely, but look at what stardom did to Evelyn Brent. They made her first starring picture, 'Slightly Scarlet,' and before it was even released her contract came to an end and wasn't renewed. I hope the picture is such a tremendous success that they have to go to her on their knees and beg her to come back and make more for them. "Meanwhile Evelyn has signed a contract to make pictures for Columbia, so it would be a little difficult for her to go back, but I would just like to have them urge her anyway. "Helen Kane will make her pictures in the East, and that ought to do something toward enlivening the Long Island studio." Fanny's voice faded out to a whisper. "Now I know all Hollywood is in town," she gasped, as Lina Basquette drifted in. A few moments later she had something to gasp about, when we heard a tale of the abject devotion of Peverell Marley, Lina's husband. For ten years one of the most talented and successful camera men in the business, young Mr. Marley is now taking up song-and-dance routines so that he can tour in vaudeville with his wife ! "He'll never be my matinee idol, though," Fanny insisted, "even if he is handsome looking. In fact, you can have your Ronald Colmans and your Rudy Vallees, for I've found my favorite talkie star for all time." I waited expectantly. "It's Booth Tarkington! And if you want to see him, we'll have to get a taxi and drive around until we find a theater that is running the news reel he is in. It's worth any amount of trouble." Fanny would pick some one who got only a week's run on Broadway ! A PLEA TO GRETA Oh ! do not let the movie men Your silent charms beguile. Why need you have a word to say When you have such a smile? Do not let the fickle public Try to teach you how to talk. You never leave a thing unsaid By just the way you walk. And when you would transport us To a realm of perfect bliss, We do not choose to hear a word, But just to watch you kiss! Jean Douglas. Feed Fat Away Two grains cf gland food daily. That's what science now employs. Modern science is using a food substance in the fight on excess fat.The results have been remarkable. Fat has been disappearing fast since this factor was discovered. You see that in every circle. Slender figures are the rule. The story is this : Some years ago medical research discovered a great cause of excess fat. It lies in an under-active gland, which largely controls nutrition. When that gland weakens, too much food goes to fat. Thousands of tests were made on animals by feeding this gland substance. Reports showed that almost invariably the excess fat dis appeared. Then tests were made on people and with similar results. They were fed this gland substance taken from cattle and sheep. Physicians the world over now employ this method in the treatment of obesity. They combat the cause. That is one great reason why excess fat is so much less common now. This gland weakness often came about the age of 40. There is a wellknown cause. With countless men and women it is different now. Mothers look like daughters. They have new youth, new beauty. Men have new health and vigor. Normal Figures Everywhere Marmola prescription tablets are based on this new method. They were perfected by a large medical laboratory to offer this help to all. People have used them for 2 1 years — millions of boxes of them. They have told the results to others. Thus the use has reached enormous proportions. It has doubled in the past year alone.
