We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.

Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.

Cuba! Aw, Bob, quit 'kidding' us — you can no more keep away from the kids than the kids can be scary of you. Don't you know the gang is wise to you? Maybe when Will Rogers goes to Congress for First National he'll tell 'em something about the distinguished guest he entertained at his high-class jail this month! There's no use talking, Will ought to have that place fixed up more comfortably so that folks a-visiting there won't pack up bag and baggage in so short a time. According to little Johnny Gilbert, the bed's too hard, and nobody stays round to do the entertaining. And Johnny never did like eating out! again. Gilbert started — oh, long ago. Over two years have passed since even that "big chance" they talk about arrived and supposedly slipped right out of his grasp. Folks shook their heads — too bad — the boy was just n. g. And you know, they almost had Gil thinking that same thing! Then, out of the sad, sad wreck Old Opportunity grabbed him by the hand and pulled him down the street United Artists way. Quick as a flash he found he was signed as leading man for one of the best known players of the screen. And now they say he'll be the year's sensational find as Norma Talmadge's lover in "Camille." No-sirree, the lane that has no turning somewhere down the line is just a myth! Richard ArJen, a talented young man of the Paramount lot. Any of you who are discouraged; any of you who have struggled and struggled and have seemingly lost the game that you're aiming to win — don't be sad. Simply look up statistics on one Gilbert Roland, smile a broad smile, straighten your shoulders and start going all over Photograph by Preston Duncan. Myrna Loy has starring possibilities equalling any girl in pic tures. Mary Pic\ford and Virginia Cray who plays the part that Mary used to play in "Uncle Tom's Cabin". 75
