Screenland (May-Jul 1926)

SCREENLAND 107 feminine roles in "Tin Gods ' none other than Renee Adoree and Aileen Pringle, two of Metro-Goldwyn's prides and joys. Aileen ■will play Tom's wife in the picture; Renee is announced as "leading lady". One used to mean the other in the good old days! Diana Kane is coming right along these days. Time was when she was pointed out as "Lois Wilson's little sister". Then Bebe Daniels, her best chum, stopped all that by urging her to change her name to the present decorative one. And Diana began to step out for herself, getting bigger parts every time. The latest' is opposite Johnny Hines in "The Brown Derby ". Ic seems to be lucky to be chosen to play with this comedian. Among the unknowns he picked who have since risen to fame are numbered Dorothy Mackaill, Jacqueline Logan, Joby na Ralston, Billie Dove, and Sigrid Holmquist. Thyra Samter Winslow has sold the screen rights of her popular novel, "Show Business ', to Metro-Goldwyn. This story of a chorus girl who marries a millionaire after many adventures should make a corking movie. The picture folk in the east are tickled at the transaction as Mrs. Winslow is always an attractive and sought-after figure at the motion picture gatherings around New York City. Now the question as to the actress to be selected to play her "Helen" is being as much discussed as the choice of stars for Lorelei Lee in "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes". Morris Gest, theatrical impressario. has been signed to make one picture a year for six years for United Artists, at $250,000 per picture. Mr. Gest, the man responsible for the stage spectacle, "The Miracle", will make Belasco's "Darling of the Gods" as his first film offering. A.sk Ale — Continued from page 5 N.

Utterly impossible for me to give you addresses of all the players on the screen, but just watch this department from time to time and you'll be surprised the number you will get. Three Young Men from College. Sounds like an ancient song about "Three Young Maids are We" — maybe that isn't quite right, but it was something like that. You aren't bothering me, old timers, and I ups and tells you that Pola Negri was born in Poland — some say forty years ago, some say twenty-eight. Whatever year it was. Poia doesn't look her age, dees she? Conway Tearle will next be seen in "The Sporting Lover" and did you know Conway played "Ben Hur" on the stage in Australia, many years ago! Vilma Banky was born in Buda pest in 1903. Don't know what hobbies Ricardo Cortez has, but no matter what they were, he seems to have forsaken them all for the new Mrs. Cortez, nee* Alma Rubens. Lefty. Eleanor Boardman was born in August, 1898, and while she isn't married yet, there's a rumour that Eleanor and King Vidor have come to some arrangement with Dan Cupid.
