Picture-Play Magazine (Mar-Aug 1925)

Information Please 121 Continued from page 102 A N n abelle. — So you envy me for knowing so much about the screen stars? Well, there are some things that the less one knows about, the better; but I won't tell you what they are. Charles Ray has recently renewed his screen activities. He made a picture called "Percy," which is said to be excellent, and now he has signed up with Chadwick Productions. He is married to Clara Grant. Claire Windsor's real name is Ola Cronk ; she was formerly married to Billie Boweson. Percy Marmont Fan. — With hot weather coming on, he'll soon be needing a fan. Mr. Marmont is English ; he appeared on the stage many years before he began working in pictures. He used to play in support of Sir Herbert Tree, Cyril Maude, Ethel Barrymore, and other noted stars. He is six feet tall and is a blond. You can reach him at the Lambs' Club, 130 West Forty-fourth Street, New York. He's a Lamb ! < Conway Tearle Fan. — I'll give you the right answer, but not in "the next copy of Picture-Play." You mustn't expect a good magazine like Picture-Play to be' printed overnight. No, Conway Tearle hasn't any children. By the way, he has signed up with Metro-Goldwyn for' several pictures. Hooray for Ronald Colman. — You must be the college yell leader. However, I'm perfectly willing to hooray "with you. Mr. Colman's newest picture is "His Supreme Moment," a South American goldmine film made by George Fitzmaurice. Blanche Sweet is the leading woman. Yes, Aileen Pringle and Ronald Colman do make a charming screen combination. She has been making "A Kiss in the Dark" for Paramount and "Wild Fire" for Vitagraph. Miss Pringle is really Mrs. Pringle, as that is her husband's name. Yes, she is just as charming in real life as she is on the screen ; even more so, in fact, as she has a very clever wit, and is a cultured, cosmopolitan person. She was born in San Francisco and educated in London and Paris. She was formerly on the London stage. TWO FOR CORINNE GRIFFITH. — Two what? Not too much, I hope; nothing is too much for such a charming lady. Corinne is Mrs. Walter Morosco, and before that she was Mrs. Webster Campbell. She recently finished "The National Anthem," which followed "Declasse," and is now making "Ashes." Any of us can make ashes if we care about -smoking. Fritzi Ridgeway is a new bride ; if you can pronounce her husband's name, you're braver than I am. It's spelled Constantin Bakaleinikoff ; if any one addressed me that way, I'd think I was being sworn at in Russian. Eleanor Boardman was born in Philadelphia ; no, she isn't married. She lives at 1602 Vista Del Mar, Hollywood. She and Pat O'Malley have been playing the leads in the screen version of "Proud Flesh." Search Me. — But would I find anything? Besides, my job is answering questions, not revenue agenting. Theda Bara is soon to make her screen debut — I suppose you can remake a debut, after the first one is finished — in "The Unchastened Woman." Her real name is Theodosia Goodman, and she is Mrs. Charles Brabin in private life, if a screen star may be said to have any private life. Pauline Starke played Anna, the lady-in-waiting, in "Forbidden Paradise." Mary Astor is playing opposite Doug in his new picture, "Don Q." By all means, write again; answer ing letters keeps me out of mischief ; don't you think that's worth while? Oui, Oui. — Mais non! I put that in to show that I know French, too. But I know only four words, and you've used up two of them. Yes, Charles De Roche is a French actor. He played in "Love and Glory," and recently appeared with Gloria in "Madame Sans Gene." Gaston Glass is also French, so they had him play in "Parisian Nights" to help put the Paris into the picture. Renee Adoree also helped. I Wanna Know. — That's the only way to get educated. Alberta Vaughn and George O'Hara say they are going to be married in June, but you don't have to believe it until it happens. Monte Blue was married last November to Tove Jansen, a Seattle society" girl. Ralph Graves is a widower, his wife, Marjorie Seamon, having died several years ago. Glenn Hunter isn't married. Antonio Moreno was born in Spain in 1888. He is married to Daisy Danziger ; he is now in Spain playing in "Mare Nostrum." You can write him through the office of Metro-Goldwyn, 1540 Broadway, New York. Isabel. — Do I like to get letters? Yes, indeed, though I confess they don't thrill me as much as they did when I was young and impressionable. Write me as often as you like. Ramon Novarro isn't married yet and so far has not even made any threats of that nature. Write him at the Metro-Goldwyn Studios, Culver City, California, where he has been busily engaged on "Ben-Hur." Carmel Myers returned from Europe still single, although there were rumors of a real Italian count who followed her about. She is divorced from Isadore Kornblum. Most any girl would be willing to change her name from Kornblum to Countess Lickety Split, or what have you? Carmel was born in San Francisco and is the daughter of a rabbi.' Blue Eyes. — Nita Naldi is no longer with Paramount Pictures, but has a contract to play in Valentino's productions. Her next is "Cobra." No, she isn't married. Nita is a New York girl of Italian and Irish ancestry. Jane and Eva Novak are not Polish, but were born in St. Louis, Missouri, which is, as the saying goes, a good place to come from. Eva is playing opposite William Fairbanks in a series of pictures. Stage-door Johnny. — I suppose it's fun being a stage-door Johnny, depending on what stage you're in at the time. No, Lois Wilson has never played on the stage, but went into the movies via the beautycontest route. She used to be a schoolteacher. You'll admit that's quite a change in one's profession ! Lois has never been married, but I rather suspect she can remedy that any time she likes. She is five feet five and one-half inches tall and .has brown hair and hazel eyes. Sue, Dear. — So you can kick higher than your head and want to be a toe dancer? You can get plenty of practice kicking in several restaurants I could name, without moving your feet off the floor. Yes, Mary Eaton, who played in "His Children's Children," is a dancer primarily. Ann Pennington made several pictures a few years ago and recently finished another with Johnny Walker, called "The Mad Dancer." Mrs. Valentino, otherwise Natacha Rambova, otherwise Winifred Hudnut — who seems to be a rose by any other name — was formerly in Theodore Kosloff's ballet. Then she took up designing of sets, and now she helps to direct her husband and sits in a chair on the set marked "Mrs. Valentino." Yes, she is very beautiful. Cross Eyes. — Just as long as the crossness doesn't spread ! Ben Turpin has been married for lo ! these many years. It is said that he wants to retire from the screen as soon as his present contract is up, in order to have more time for his invalid wife. Mary MacLaren has left the movies flat because she married Lieutenant Colonel George Hubert Young, a British army officer stationed in India. India isn't noted for its wonderful films, if any. Sister Katherine MacDonald hasn't done much on the screen, either, since her marriage to Charles Schoenen Johnson. Welcome. — Of course you're welcome. In fact, that's the sign on my door mat, but the cat considers it a personal invitation to come and park. I agree with you that Rex Ingram is as handsome as most of our current movie idols ; he used to be an actor once himself. But there are plenty of actors, and few directors as talented as Rex. He is now in Spain filming "Mare Nostrum."
