It is unfair to mention any one of the reasons ahead of the others, because there are so many features, and they're all headliners. For example, there is Myrtle Gebhart's article about Margaret Livingston. Intimate, searching, sympathetic, it brings to light the trite Margaret Livingston, and explains the evolution of the girl who came to Hollywood from Utah five years ago and set out to make a career for herself, choosing to be gay and devilmay-care because she thought it the right thing to do, when all the while she was aching to be herself. Never has Miss Gebhart written with more feeling. Emil Jannings, the great German actor, is the subject of one of Edwin Schallert's astute and illuminating articles. Jannings on the set, and in his home, is a very different individual from the Jannings we know on the screen, and this study in contrasts should not be missed. OUR SPRING BOUQUET of other fresh and sparkling items includes such captivating subjects as Laura La Plante's strong reasons for her church wedding, an amazing analysis of Olive Borden, by the shrewdly amusing Malcolm H. Oettinger, an engaging interview with Leslie Fenton, unusual pen pictures of Phyllis Haver, Gilda Gray, Joan Crawford, and Victor McLaglen, as well as a round dozen of other entertaining inducements for you to read Picture-Play for June from cover to cover. lUIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIM
