Screenland (May–Oct 1927)

SCREENLAND 103 Continued from page 6 ]ulia, Broo\lyn. I can grant your first request but I can't publish a picture of William Boyd. I can ask the Editor if he will. I did, and he said there was a whole interview with pictures in March number of Screenland. Bravo, bravo! Ben Lyon is American — he was born in Atlanta, Ga., educated Baltimore Park School and Balto. City College, Md. He made a hit on the stage as a juvenile actor. His screen sue cess did not come all at once; he played a variety of secondary roles, including the younger brother in "The White Moth" with Barbara La Marr and Conway Tearle, before First National signed him for "Flaming Youth" and eventually, stardom. Ben has dark brown hair and deep blue eyes. He's five feet eleven, weighs 160. And since Marilynn Miller has emphatically denied she is engaged to Ben Lyon, why, I guess Ben Lyon isn't engaged, that's all. Laura Snow. Have you .seen Phoebe lately? But she was before your time, I suppose. Patsy Ruth Miller hasn't been engaged for a week or two. What's the matter, Pat? She's a Warner Bros. star. Marie Prevost's lovely dark curls are all her own. Your other questions are answered elsewhere. Come again. Tony. If you get a photo from Lon Chaney, you're in luck. I understand that Lon pays no attention whatever to his fan mail, let alone answering it. The old meanie! But try, anyway — Metro-Goldwyn, Culver City, Cal. — also for Lew Cody. Jack Holt may go with M'G'M when his Famous Players contract expires. No, he doesn't get tired of westerns. He'd rather ride the range any day than doll up for a drawingToom picture. Jack is a real outdoor fellow; he raises cattle as a side line to acting, did you know that? He's married and has three charming children. By the way, when I .say Paramount, Lasky, and Famous Players — it's all the same company. The Paramount eastern studio in Astoria and the Lasky plant in Hollywood bow to the same big bosses, Messrs. Zukor and Lasky. Jersey Gentleman. Sounds like a new "The King of King's" completed, Jacqueline Logan steps right into "One Hour of Love". brand of canned corn. Virginia Browne Faire was married in Los Angeles, February 6, to Jack Daugherty, the Universal athletic star; the same Daugherty who was once the husband of the late Barbara La Marr. Here's wishing them happiness. Edward Fox. Child, I can't send you the addresses of "all the different stars." Surely you must have some favorites. Write and let me know who they are and I'll be glad to help you. As a starter — how about Doug? Most every boy likes him. Address Douglas Fairbanks at the United Artists Studio, Hollywood, California. Write again, Edward. A Friend. So you immediately conjure up a vision of a "young, very snappy girl" when you hear the name "Miss Vee Dee"? Well, Friend, I can only admit that you're right. Snappy in a nice way, I suppose you mean? I hope so. Rudolph Valentino was born in Castellaneta, Italy, thirty-one years ago. Ricardo Cortez was born in New York City, I believe, although one report says Vienna. Anyway, he was brought up in New York City. Cortez; is an assumed name. Write to him at Lasky 's. Grace D. P. Buck Jones on the cover of Screenland? But Grace — the cover is the prerogative of the lovely ladies, and you wouldn't want them to be crying their pretty eyes out, now, would you? Address Buck at the Fox Studio in Hollywood, Cal. Maxine Brown, daughter of Mr. and Mrs., seems to resemble both parents. At any rate, she's a very pretty little girl, and may be in the movies herself, some day. Janet Robinson. Roy D'Arcy and his smile seem to have hypnotized you. Roy smiles and sneers for Metro-Goldwyn. He's been seen lately in "Valencia" , "The Temptress" , and "Bardelys the Magnificent". He's married to Laura R. Duffy, daughter of an M-G-M executive. Others are answered elswhere. Please look for them. Thank you. Jasmin. Don't blame me if you don't see John Roche more often. It's reported that John was offered the leading male role opposite Dorothy Gish in "Madame Pompadour" but turned it down. Tony Moreno took it and went to London to make the picture. Mr. Roche is quite a singer, you know, and may have thought that the London atmosphere might have a bad effect on his voice. (English readers, please skip. I'm only in fun. anyway.) Vera Taylor. Thanks for all the nice things you say about us. I hope you'll be a steady customer. I'm sorry I can't give you Leatrice Joy's home address but a letter to her care Cecil deMille Studio, Culver City, Cal, will surely reach her. Yes, I've met Leatrice and I can tell you she lives up to her last name. John Gilbert's latest are "The Day of Souls" and "Twelve Miles Out". Please call on me often, Vera — if you don't mind my calling you that, she added in a refined manner. Burton Wilson. Now I call you downright fussy!. You get a nice letter from Vilma Banky and then worry because the signature may not be her own! I ask you, does Vilma look like the kind of girl who would let anyone else sign her letters for her? Doris Kenyon is now Mrs. Milton Sills.
