Picture-Play Magazine (Sep 1928 - Feb 1929)

Advertising Section 111 Information, Please Continued from page 102 ies. Batouche, in "The Garden of Allah," was played by Gerald Fielding, and what a hit that young man made in one picture! He is English, born in Darjeeling, British India, July 6, 1906. He is not quite six feet and is a brunette. He was educated at Stonehurst College, and at Cambridge, and his family lives at Chateau Fielding, Nice, France. By the way, Modest Stein, our cover artist, is a man. Pronounced Mode — with long e — est. M. E. G. — Despite your admiration for Joseph Schildkraut, I'm afraid he would feel slightly insulted at your prediction that some day he will be famous. He and his father, Rudolph Schildkraut, were important actors on the stage, before they played in movies at all. They are both Hungarians. Rudolph was a star in the Yiddish Theater in New York, before playing in English. Joseph is about thirty and is married to Elise Bartlett. He has very dark hair and eyes. His first film role was in D. W. Griffith's "Orphans of the Storm," and he is now under contract to DeMille. Between pictures he produces play at the Hollywood Playhouse ; either address would reach him. • Bert Lytell and Anita Stewart were the principals in "Never the Twain Shall Meet" ; Edmund Burns was not in that picture. Jimmy and Jake. — So you think Fanny the Fan is an old cat, for not liking Mary Brian? Well, there's no accounting for tastes, as the old lady said when she kissed the cow. Mary Brian was born in Corsicana, Texas, February 17, 1908, and her real name is Mary Louise Dantzler. Her more important films include : "Peter Pan," "The Little French Girl," "The Street of Forgotten Men," "Brown of Harvard," "Beau Geste," "The Prince of Tempters," "Paris at Midnight," "Knock-out Riley," "Man Power," "Shanghai Bound." I'm afraid Mary could never be a Janet Gaynor. She's prettier than Janet, but her face is less expressive, and she hasn't that tear-wringing quality which Janet has. W. P. A. — il should be just as sorry as you, to see Leatrice Joy leave the screen, but I assure you she has no intention of doing so. Her new film is "The Bellamy Trial." She has been in pictures about eight years. Her photograph was on the cover of Picture Play for June, 1927. Fritz the Fan. — So you think that's an easy one — asking me the age of Belle Bennett? Not that she's old, but whenever an actress gets out of her twenties, she usually stops giving her age. Sometimes she stops even before then. Bessie Love is still in her twenties, but I don't know her exact age. Alice Joyce was born in Kansas City, Missouri; Olive Borden, Norfolk, Virginia; Louise Fazenda, Lafayette, Indiana; Eleanor Boardman, Philadelphia; James Murray, New York City; Aileen Pringle, San Francisco; Louise Brooks, Wichita, Kansas; Evelyn Brent, Tampa, Florida. Myrna Loy was born in Helena, Montana, and Fay Wray comes from Los Angeles. Redhead. — You have lots of imitators ! Many girls on the screen would so like to had red hair; the} go out and acquire it John Bowers played opposite Madge Bellamy in "Lorna Doone." J. Warren Kerrigan has completely retired from movies, but "Hollywood, California," will reach him. Yes, Richard Barthelmess married Jessica Sargeant last April 21st. No, I really don't know of any stars born on June 6th. Gilbert Roland is twenty-two ; Johnnie Walker, Norma Talmadge, Alice Joyce, Eve Southern do not give their ages. Charlie Farrell was born in Onset Bay, Massachusetts. He is five feet ten. Johnnie Walker has been working most of the time since "Old Ironsides," but usually in quickies, which are not shown at the bigger theaters. "Matinee Idols" for Columbia, is his latest release, at this writing. Ricardo Cortez went to Europe, and while there made "The Orchid Dancer." He returned recently. Estelle. — Paul Ellis seems to flit in and out of pictures. He is five feet eleven, and of course very dark in complexion. He was born in Buenos Aires, November 6, 1896, and first appeared on the screenhorizon in 1924, when he played the lead in a Metro film, "The Bandelero," under his real name, Manuel Granada. He also played in "The Dancer of Paris," "Pretty Ladies," and, "Bitter Apples." Mike. — I'm always so troubled when fans ask how they can break into the movies ! It can't be done ! The Central Casting Agency on Hollywood Boulevard supplies all the extras to the studios, but they no longer register newcomers. Florence Vidor is the divorced wife of King Vidor. Reginald Denny was formerly married to Irene Haisman, Roy d'Arcy to Laura Rhinock Duffy. Roy was born February 10, 1894. Norman Kerry doesn't give his age. He was married years ago, and has a daughter, but I don't know what his wife's name was. Don Catarino. — I can see the kind of young man you are ! Once you like a guy you keep on liking him. Elmo Lincoln and William Duncan retired from the screen years ago, and if I were to be shot for not telling, I still couldn't say where they are now. Eddie Polo, at last accounts was taking a trip around the world and had no intention of returning to the screen. Perhaps Universal would send you his photograph. George Lewis was born in Mexico City twenty-odd years ago; he doesn't give his exact age. Maria of Medford. — Is that a good Boy Scout deed, to take a lot off your mind, and put it on mine? Such hot weather, too ! Thanks for the cheers. I do love cheers, especially on a rainy day. Ramon Novarro's family is Spanish, on his father's side — and, I think, French on his mother's. No Italian blood, as far as I know. Yes, Ted MacNamara was killed in an accident last February. I've a vague idea I heard that Dolores del Rio and Ramon Novarro were distantly related, but I'm not sure. Most modern picture theaters have at least two projection machines, in case one gets out of order. I'll add your Unique Fan Club to my list, but you don't tell me what stars your club honors. Yes, I was quite interested in the information that James Hall's Paramount contract forbids fan clubs in his honor. I wonder why? Joe. — I enjoyed your interesting letter. It must have been great fun for you to watch the shooting of "The Volga Boatman." As to why some people "knock" actresses and actors, I suppose that's a hangover of the Victorian spirit, and also of the days when the stage was looked down upon, as being very wicked.
