Continued from page 6 Pye, an art director who helped "discover" Patricia while she was pounding the type writer in the research department of the M-G studios. Miss Avery has continued "clicking", on the screen, as Lillian Gish's sister in "Annie Laurie", and in other roles. Pat is said to be a distant relative of John D. Rockefeller. Wonder if she ever gets in on any of those nice, shiny new dimes? A. D. T., Kansas City. Would I call Vilma Banky pretty? No — I certainly wouldn't. I'd call her beautiful. She was born in Budapest, Hungary, January 9, 1903. She's five feet six, a gray-eyed blonde. Samuel Goldwyn discovered her for America and first presented her in "The Dar\ Angel ", with Ronald Colman. She also appeared opposite Rudolph Valentino in "The Eagle" and "The Son of the Shei\"; then with Mr. Colman again in "The Winning of Barbara Worth", "The Njght of Love", and, now being released, "King Harlequin" . Miss Banky recently announced her intention of becoming an American citizeness. Brown Eyes. Sorry you have had to wait so long for your answer, but it can't be helped. I can't tell you to come early and avoid the rush in this department because there's always a rush. Now I know how Mary Pickford must feel when she looks over the one day's mail. Mary was born in Toronto, Canada, in 1893. You say you wrote to Metro-Goldwyn Distributing Corp.. 831 S. Wabash Ave.. Chicago, 111., for Red Grange's picture and received a "wonderful large one". Are you sure it's of Red and not of Bill Haines? As far as I know. Red Grange has no connection with M-G-M: but since you wish me to pass this on. I'm doing so. Don't blame me if the picture of Harold Grange turns out to be some other star. They're both swell guys, anyway. The Seranader. I'm sorry I can't give out Greta Garbo's home address so you can warble "neath her window, and I hope Greta is sorry, too. Try addressing her care Metro-Goldwyn Studios, Culver City, Cal. Greta is an elusive lady. Nobody knows just what she will do next. Not long ago she signified her willingness to work out her original contract at $400 a week playing any old role, large or small. But when she accepted a part in support of Aileen Pringle and Lew Cody in "Her Brother from Brazil", Miss Pringle is said to have objected, on the grounds that Greta is too well-known not to receive stellar attention no matter what part she may play. Finally it was settled that she should star in "Anna Karenina" at S 3.000 a week. She's one of the most exciting things that's ever happened around filmtown. isn't she? Miss Garbo was born in Stockholm, Sweden, in 1906. She's five feet six inches tall, weighs 12? pounds, and has golden hair and blue eyes — that devastating color combination, which, alas, doesn't show on the screen. A great many people still think Greta is a brunette: but her hair is real spun-gold. Not married, nor yet engaged — except occasionally "by report". Lola. So Ronald and Clara sent you photographs. Three cheers. Miss Bow was born in Brooklyn, July 29. 1900. She won a magazine beauty contest while still in high school and this lead to a screen test from which she also emerged victorious. Her first film appearance was in a Billie Dove film, "Beyond the Rainbow" , but no one ever saw Clara, because her scene — a crying scene, too — had to be cut out. A novice at make-up, her amateur cosmetics flowed with her tears. This experience discouraged Clara and she decided to forsake films for business school. But it was not to be. Elmer Clifton saw her photographs in a magazine and sent for her to play one of the leads in "Down to the Sea in Ships". We all know the hit she made. Now she's one of Paramount's pet stars, and going strong. Clara is five feet two and a half inches tall, weighs 109. has auburn hair and brown eyes. NOT married. Ronald Colman is English. His first film success was with Lillian Gish in "The White Sister". He was married to an English actress but isn't now. That's all.
