Picture-Play Magazine (Mar-Aug 1926)

120 Advertising Sf.ction Big Men and Big Books If it's action you want, the thrilling stories of brave-hearted deeds, then ask your bookseller to show you the fine, cloth-covered books that bear the "CH" mark on their handsome jackets. "CH" books cost only 75 cents apiece. There's something doing all the while in a "CH" book. These books which have never before been published were written for men who love the sweep of the great West, the mysteries of big cities, the conquest of man over his environment. Ask your bookseller to show you these latest titles — The Brand of a Good Book New Books GEMS OF PROMISE Emart Kinsburn WHOSE MILLIONS?

Religious intolerance is very strong, you see, with many people. I have added the addresses you wish to the list at the bottom of this department, with the exception of Eva Novak's. She seems to make pictures only occasionally and gives no home address. Joyce Compton plays in First National pictures in California. Ruby Blynn. — Of course I will answer a few questions ; questions are my bread and butter. Jane Novak is divorced from Frank Newberg; William Desmond is married to Mary Mclvor; Gilda Gray is Airs. Gaillard Boag ; May Allison was formerly Mrs. Robert Ellis. Lottie Pickford has a little girl named Mary Rupp — by her first marriage, to George A. Rupp. That is the little niece who accompanied Mary Pickford on one of her European trips a few years ago. Do you remember seeing Mary's photograph in all the papers at the time, with her niece? A George O'Brien Club — another one — is being formed by Leonard Eury, who hopes to make his club as original as possible. Any one interested may reach Mr. Eury at Box 85, Bessemer City, North Carolina. The Four R Club.— Margaret E. Driver, Luxora, Arkansas, wants to know if any of the fans would be interested in a correspondence club which she is thinking of forming, called "The Four R Club" — shouldn't it be the four Rs, Miss Driver? The R refers to Richard Dix, Ronald Colman, Rod La Rocque, and Rudolph Valentino. If any one would like to see such a club formed, Miss Driver will be glad to hear from them. E. R. B.— Hello, yourself! Richard Dix's photograph was published in Picture-Play in the issues of January and March, of this year ; there was an interview with him in the January number. Ben Lyon's photograph appeared in the issues for October and November, 1925, and an interview with him in the October number of 1925. Lloyd Hughes was interviewed in the issue for January of this year, and his photograph was published in the same number. You can obtain back numbers of Picture-Play by writing to its Circulation Department, (inclosing twenty-five cents for each issue that you want. Use the same address that you used for me. Curious Aggie. — How well you know yourself ! You don't have to weigh any certain amount in order to get into the movies. Warner Baxter, Jack Mulhall, and Rudolph Valentino' are all five feet eleven inches. Conway Tearle is a half inch shorter. Ricardo Cortez is six feet one inch. John Gilbert and Harrison Ford do not give their heights, but they are both about six feet. Alma Rubens, Anna Q. Nilsson, and Jane Novak are about the tallest of the women film players who are of featured rank. They are all five feet seven inches. Mary Pickford is thirtythree, Colleen Moore in her early twenties. The Richard Dix Club, formed in July, 1925, with Richard Dix as honorary president, wishes once more to remind Picture-Play readers of its existence. For further information, address Harold Revine, 179 Arthur Street, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. A Fan Correspondence Club, for the interchange of views on current films, has been formed by the Reverend Frederick J. Compson, Rector of St. Paul's Church, Sistersville, West Virginia. For further information, write to the Reverend Compson at that address. Renee. — You're a lucky girl if you really look like Renee Adoree. Did you see her in "The Big Parade?" — the most spectacular role she has ever played, and she did it beautifully. Miss Adoree was born in France ; she has dark hair and eyes — brown, that is. I don't know her height or weight, but she is probably about five feet two or three inches. She was divorced from Tom Moore in March, 1925. As to whether she will marry Gaston Glass, that, of course, I am unable to say at the moment. They are both French, and should be quite well suited to each other in that respect, at least. Blondy. — So you have a Picture-Play club? i think that is a fine idea, and I do hope you will write me whenever I can be of any service to your club. Norma and Constance Talmadge both use their real names on the screen. Rod La Rocque was christened Rodrique La Rocque — he has a sister named Monique. Richard Dix's real name is Pete Brimmer. F. R. — I agree with you in admiring Harrison Ford ; he is both a good actor and a delightful person. He was born in Kansas City, Missouri, and is in his thirties. He is married to Beatrice Prentice. Harrison used to play on the stage in stock companies in Baltimore and Syracuse, and in his early screen career was leading man for Constance and Norma Talmadge. His recent pictures include "That Royle Girl," "Lovers in Quarantine," "The Song and Dance Man," "Hell's Four Hundred," and "Sandy." Movie Fan. — Rudolph Valentino looks just about the same in real life as he does on the screen. He is thirty-one years old, and is five feet eleven inches tall. The Green Imp. — You asked me some time ago for the cast of "The Trail of the Lonesome Pine," and I was unable to give it to you. But Mrs. M. M., of England, has been kind enough to send me a clipping, dated 1916, which states that the film was produced by the Lasky Feature Play Company, and gives the following cast : Charlotte Walker, Theodore Roberts, Thomas Meighan, Earle Foxe, Dick le Strange, and Park Jones. Thank you, Mrs. M. A Neil Hamilton Fan. — Neil Hamilton has been playing in pictures only about three years — I think his first screen appearance was in D. W. Griffith's film, "America." So far as I know, that is his real name. He was born in Lynn, Massachusetts, September 9, 1899. Gloria Swanson is twenty-seven, June Marlowe about twenty. Greta Nissen doesn't give her age.
