Love Honor and Behave (Warner Bros.) (1938)

PRISCILLA'S HOBBY 15 RAISING PUSSY CATS Priscilla Lane of the movies has realized a great ambition. A realization made _ possible when she, her sister Rosemary and their mother moved to a small ranch at Encino, California. Priscilla is raising cats. Cats of every variety and description, with a pair of rare Siamese kittens given to her recently by Ian Hunter as the present royal rulers of the ranch. All her life she has been crazy about cats—especially kittens. She says they have merely scratched the surface (oops, pardon) of her ambition but she has made a pretty good start. She has Persian, Angora and plain, ordinary Maltese cats in addition to the Siamese kittens and says she won’t be satisfied until she has every known breed of cat, barring lions and tigers. Wayne Morris gave her a pair of Manx cats when they finished their new Warner Bros. picture, “Love, Honor and Behave,” the comedy-drama that opens next Friday at the Strand Theatre. JOHN LITEL DOSES AILING FILM STARS Husky, hoarse voices, the bane of an actor’s existence, are a rarity during the making of pictures in which John Litel appears. Because of this, his fellow actors have nicknamed him “Doc’’ Litel. Litel’s remedy for the hoarse voices is a coughdrop made from an old English formula which includes linseed oil and menthol among its ingredients. The coughdrop is manufactured by the father of Litel’s wife. During the filming of “Love, Honor and Behave,” the engrossing Warner Bros. comedy-drama featuring Wayne Morris and Priscilla Lane, which comes to the Strand Theatre next Friday, Litel kept a case of the lozenges on the set at all times. Whenever a player complained of a throaty voice, Litel immediately presented him with a box of the coughdrops. As a result of his activity and generosity, fame of the coughdrops, which are said to be very soothing, is spreading throughout Hollywood. So popular have the lozenges become that Litel is considering opening an office in Hollywood to market them as a sideline venture. NO GLAMOR GIRL STUFF Priscilla Lane, now of the movies, forgot she had another show to do while playing Charlotte, N. C., with Fred Waring and His Pennsylvanians and_ started to wash her hair in her dressing room. Fred dragged her on the stage and explained her bedraggled, wet locks to the howling delight of the audience and her own embarrassment. Miss Lane now has the leading feminine part in “Love, Honor and Behave,” which comes to the Strand Theatre next Friday. It is a Warner Bros. comedy-drama directed by Stanley Logan and with Wayne Morris as the hero. ALWAYS HAS A FLOWER Stanley Logan, who directed “Love, Honor and Behave” for . Warner Bros., is just English enough to appear every day with a white carnation in his buttonhole. The flower never gets a chance to wither because the script girl has a standing order to see that it is replaced every few hours. Page Twelve Mat 201-—30c When two boys, Wayne Morris and Dick Foran, meet girl, Priscilla Lane, they become this way about each other: Love, Honor and Behave, which is another way of introducing the name and stars of Warner Bros. comedy hit which is the Strand’s next attraction. Fans Demand Lane-Morris Love Team—And T hey Get It! Screen history repeats itself and another film cycle is born. Which is another way of saying that the public demands and gets what it wants. The day of the romantic screen team has returned. Take one handsome hero and a_ beautiful girl, ideally suited to each other, Mat 106—15c WAYNE LOVES LANE Hollywood's Latest Love Match! and you have the team. Put them through all sorts of difficulties with boy winning girl in the final reel and you have what the public wants. Boy and girl even may marry early in the picture. That would have been out of the question a few years ago but now exemplifies the modern note to the cycle. Years ago the screen had the romantic team of Jack Mulhall and Dorothy Mackail and Douglas MacLean and Doris May, to mention but two of the outstanding ones. Today it has, among others, Errol Flynn and Olivia deHavilland, Tyrone Power and Loretta Young, and Dick Powell and Joan Blondell. The studio wanted to team Power and Sonja Heinie but popular demand took him off the ice to team up with Loretta. Newest of the combinations is Wayne Morris and Priscilla Lane. Wayne leaped to the top of public favor in a single picture—“‘Kid Galahad.” The far-sighted Warner Bros. immediately saw his possibilities and sought an intriguing young lovely to team with him. Solution of their problem was taken out of their hands. Gay, lovely young Priscilla Lane came along with Fred Waring and his Pennsylvanians to film “Varsity Show.” When the picture was released, Priscilla was such a hit that the studio signed her to a long term contract. Then the fan letters started pouring in. They all struck the same note, in that mysterious, uncanny affinity fan mail often has for one subject. Wayne Morris had found his girl friend. And if the studio didn’t team him with Priscilla Lane, the letters would keep up the barrage until the studio did. The result is “Love, Honor and Behave,” the comedy-drama _ in which the youngsters are costarred and which opens next Friday at the Strand Theatre. Husky Wayne and diminutive Priscilla show every indication of being the answer to the fans’ prayer. So impressive has been their work during the short time the picture has been showing that the studio already is making bigger and better plans for them. Following this picture, Wayne and Priscilla will be teamed in “Men Are Such Fools,” the next in a long series of teaming films. SIMPLIFIES HIS NAME The real full name of Wayne Morris is Bert DeWayne Morris which was too high falutin for the movies. Wayne is at present playing the lead in “Love, Honor and Behave,” the Warner Bros. comedy-drama coming to the Strand. ‘SAILOR’ DICK FORAN READY TO EMBARK Building boats in the hot San Fernando Valley of California, 15 and more miles from the ocean, is no novelty. Shipwrights, amateur and professional, ply their trade all over the valley without anybody giving it a second thought. The boats are transported to salt water by trucks. But when a movie star is engaged in such a work, that’s something else. For many months, Dick Foran, Warner Bros. star, has been _ building a sloop. If he can obtain an extended leave of absence from the studio, he will sail from San Pedro for New York in early Summer. With Foran will be five of his friends, and the trip will be made around Cape Horn. Foran, in revealing his plans on the ‘‘Love, Honor and Behave” set at Warner Bros. studio, said he estimates the trip will take from three to six months. WAYNE MORRIS MADE A FRIENDLY INDIAN’ Several months ago Wayne (Kid Galahad) Morris was made a “Friendly Indian.” He was initiated by a large group of Los Angeles Y.M.C.A. boys who belong to the organization. They let him off without paddling or other unpleasant initiation ceremonies and Wayne has been proud of his affiliation ever since. Now he is looking around for a way to repay the boys—who are youngsters from nine to twelve years of age. “Sing for them,” suggested Willard Parker, actor friend of Wayne’s. “I won’t do it,” said Wayne, “but just the same I’ll bet they would like it.” Wayne is a little sensitive about his voice and the fact that he has never been allowed to sing in a picture. “Some night,” he added, “you’ll see the whole bunch of us—all Friendly Indians —out together, having a whale of a time. That’ll be my Indians and me!” Wayne is currently co-starring with Priscilla Lane in “Love Honor and Behave,” the Warner Bros. comedy-drama. PRISCILLA NOW A STAR When Priscilla Lane, signed again by Warner Bros. following her exceptional work in “Varsity Show,” started her leading role in “Love, Honor and Behave,” she found a huge Neon star affixed t# her dressing room door. “BUY A BEER, MR. SHANE” Ever since “Bei Mir Bist Du Schon,” the theme song of “Love, Honor and Behave,” was first played over the air, the publishers have been receiving requests for copies and more copies. But some of the writers-in just couldn’t catch the name _ properly. Here are just a few of the garbled titles: “Buy a Beer, Mr. Schane”; “Mr. Barney McShane”; “Buy Me _ the Same”; and one more imaginative music dealer wrote in for twenty-five copies of “My Mere Bits of Shame.” Another wrote in simply for that new French song. The latest variation on it (with apologies to another popular song of the day) is “Have You Met Miss DuShane?”
