90 SCREENLAND Slenlerness will make you more attractive Are you worried because you are overweight? Afraid you are losing your charm, your youthful figure? Stout women are at a disadvantage. Pretty clothes no longer fit them, their movements are awkward, their attractiveness deserts them. Friends are sympathetic. But many of these friends have a secret method of keeping slender! They use Marmola Tablets (thousands of men and women each year regain slender figures this way). These tablets will make you slender again, too. Try them. No exercises or diets — just a pleasant, healthful way of becoming slender. All drug stores have them — one dollar a box.

N.Y. Mark Gonzales who will be seen on Broadway as a young Italian officer in ''Dangerous Money," late in October, has been selected to play an important role in "Argentine Love," under the Famous Players-Lasky banner. Mr. Gonzales wishes to say that he is not another Valentino nor a Navarro — he is a Gonzales, first — last and all the time. He is the grandson of one of Havana's most celebrated physicians and deserted materia medica for the screen. All the color and drama incident to Paris night life in the higher circles of society and the slums of the French capital will furnish a background for "Parisian Nights," the second big Gothic Pictures special to be released by Film Booking Offices of America. The production will be made for Gothic under the supervision of B. P. Fineman. The story was written as an original by Emile Forst and adapted by Doty Hobart. Al Santell who recently completed "Fools in the Dark" and "Lights Out" for F. B. 0. will direct. Jack Collins, former well known newspaper cartoonist in New York and more recently a gag man in the service of Mack Sennett and Lloyd Hamilton, has been added to the production staff of "The Go-Getters" by General Manager B. P. Fineman at F. B. O. Hollywood studios. _ Collins will co-operate with George Marion, Jr., author of the "GoGetters" stories. Elmer Clifton writes from Timaru, New Zealand, that he saw "Broken Blossoms," in the most southerly theatre in the world. He reports that this screen masterpiece with Dicky Barthelmess and Lillian Gish went over big and the drama held everyone from start to finish. "You could cut the tense silence with a knife," he adds. He is now on the high seas bound for India. When are freckles an asset? Occasionally— only very occasionally in motion pictures. Joan Standing, appearing with Mrs. Wallace Reid in "Broken Laws," has the largest, highest salaried collection of freckles on the silver screen. Wesley Bary became a star on the strength of his freckles. Little Micky of "Our Gang" comedies draws a fat weekly envelope for his, but Joan Standing is the only "female of the species" who cashes in on what most women consider a disfigurement and spend large sums of money to get rid of. In "Broken Laws" Miss Standing, who by the way, is a daughter of the late Herbert Standing and a sister of Wyndham, plays a maid servant whose years of service in the Allen family have made her a privileged character. The comedy of Miss Standing's characterization is greatly enhanced by the fact that she uses no make-up at all, but displays her freckles to the advantage of her salary envelope. Mae Marsh arrived in Los Angeles this week, where she immediately went into conference with a producer who it is rumored is to star her in two productions. Miss Marsh could have stayed abroad and made two more pictures, but after completing "Arabella," in Germany, she decided to return to the United States. Here is Walter Long's new role: A London opera singer crazed on the night of his sensational debut, commits murder, escapes to Africa and becomes a river thief and slave trafficker of the jungles. All of Walter Long's previous characterizations put together will barely equal in color this new part which has been awarded him by B. P. Schulberg in the Preferred Picture, "White Man." "Trigger-Fingers" is the title of -the first of the Texas Ranger series starring Bob Custer, which Independent Pictures Corporation is making for F. B. O. release. "Trigger-Fingers" is a very highclass Western production, which was written especially for Douglas Fairbanks and re-purchased for Custer. Bob Custer's horse, a handsome animal with human intelligence, will play an important role in the production. Reeves (Breezy) Eason has been chosen to direct the series. Mr. Eason is a well known director. The story that the blase residents of Hollywood, Culver City and other movie capitals are so used to seeing pictures made that they pay no attention to street chases, mob scenes, etc., is a myth. They do not tire of seeing pictures made any more than the farmer in the field tires of seeing the Twentieth Century Limited pass. He will always stop work to watch it go by, and so do people living where pictures are made every day. Street "shots" at Culver City, home of the Thomas H. Ince Studios, will hold a crowd of natives all day long, while several thousand persons almost broke down the fence to watch night scenes recently. S. L. Rothajel is arranging another of the elaborate programs for which the Capitol Theatre is famous, to provide the surrounding atmosphere for the Elinor Glyn production, "His Hour," William Robyn, with the support of Florence Mulholland, Marjorie Harcum, Gertrude McKinley, Vivian Kelly, Joseph Wetzel, Avo Bombarger, Pierre Harrower, James Parker Coombs, Sneddon Weir and Frank Moulan. the pop'jk'
