SCREENLAND Q/ok cannot be successful unless you are Serene BUT in this day of eager competition, can you be serene unless you arc — well — snappy? You, of course, know that . . . The knowledge of being well dressed gives a woman a serenity that even Religion is powerless to bestow. But alas! — clothes aren't everything in these days. It is the tout ensemble — the whole effect that counts. A colorful hat — a charming dress — are lost if your hair is dull, uninspiring. And it is so easy to have interesting hair.

CHICAGO Liquid Form FIK.OM (jk hK.0ABWA JVC California may be the production centre, but Manhattan continues to call the players for pleasure and "location". The Algonquin and environs has been thrilled to the marrow, with Jetta Goudal, Virginia Valli, King and Eleanor Vidor, and James Murray in its midst — to mention only a few. Jetta came east for a vacation; and if you could have caught a glimpse of this lovely lady as she lunched, garbed in dead white — the cutest little cap in lieu of a hat, and the only note of color contributed by a crimson lip-stick — you would agree that Mile. Goudal is even more fascinating off than on the screen. Besides, there's that alluring accent. Jetta stayed as long as she dared, with the studio wiring her please, please to come back and get to work. Virginia Valli spends almost as much time in the east as in Hollywood. This time, she came on business, to play opposite George O'Brien in "East Side, West Side", at the Fox studios on Tenth Avenue, Allan Dwan, directing. Virginia has entirely recovered from the loss of her appendix, and says she doesn't miss it at all. Virginia hasn't changed much from the nice girl we used to know when screen jobs were scarce around New York. We knew her "when", and the biggest compliment we can pay her is that she hasn't forgotten those early days of struggle. Perhaps we should add that, if possible, she's prettier. # * * George O'Brien brought his trainer with him. You know George is an athlete second to none, and not only before the camera. He has his daily "work out", and keeping in condition is fun for him. Suspect that's the reason he likes picture work; it gives him a chance to stage boxing bouts, and get paid for it. :;: £ & Lois Moran and her mother played hookey from work long enough to hop on a train for old man Knickerbocker's little village, where they proceeded to shop and do the plays to their heart's content. Lois has blossomed into an exceedingly smart young star since she first made her hit here. Then she was a rather shy little ingenue, trying her wings. Today, she is one of the highest-salaried featured players in pictures, and has gained immeasurably in poise and prettiness, thanks to a charming mother and her own common sense. She deserves all the big parts that come her way. We hear that the great John Barrymore has manifested keen interest in Lois's artistic future. Maybe she will play opposite John some time. >! £ ❖ King Vidor says his ambition is to be pointed out as anyone but "the director of 'The Big Parade' ". He's trying to live C[ Claudette Colbert — from her stage hit in "The Barker" makes her screen debut in "Hell's Kitchen". down his reputation as the director of that masterpiece. He believes in progress; that's why he is putting the best he has into "The Crowd". When he came to New York this time, he was talking to his big boss, Marcus Loew. "Mr. Loew", said King Vidor, "you and I have got to try to forget there ever was such a picture as 'The Big Parade'." "Why should I forget it?" retorted the head of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. Look at the pleasant memories it brings me." The war picture is in its second year on Broadway and is breaking records everywhere. Mrs. Vidor — Eleanor Boardman — is a Philadelphia girl. She is positively conspicuous for her unassuming,, unadorned beauty. Not a speck of make-up does Eleanor use, except before the camera, and then she uses less than most actresses. She dresses distinctively and is altogether an unusual person. But don't leave off your own powder and rouge unless you have Eleanor's perfect complexion. Bert Lytell was in town, completing a twenty-weeks' vaudeville tour. Bert looks browner and better than ever. But he is through with the varieties for a while, and went back to the Coast to make "Alias the Lone Wolf" — remember Bert was the original Lone Wolf of the screen: and incidentally, to see Claire Windsor. The Lytells are one of the happiest married couples in filmdom, and there's no doubt their reunion was a joyful one.
