Screenland (May–Oct 1927)

SCREENLAND 103 C[ George Siegmann whirls a wicked lash in "Uncle Tom's Cabin". Virginia Lee. Tom Mix and Tony work for Fox Studio, Hollywood, Cal. Ken Maynard, for First National, Burbank, Cal. Col. Tim McCoy, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, Culver City, Cal. Jack Holt left Paramount but has been re-engaged for one picture, for which he will be paid ten thousand dollars, I understand. The picture is "J^evada", I think. So you can still reach Jack care Paramount Studio, Hollywood — also Fred Thomson. Richard Dix isn't married. Ralph Forbes is the husband of Ruth Chatterton, stage star. Ralph works at M-G'M, Culver City, Cal. See him in "Mr. Wu". Hope Hampton is abroad at this writing, but if you address her in care of her husband-manager, Jules Brulatour, at 1540 Broadway, it will reach her when she returns. Hope you hear from all of 'em. Moreland S., Tampa. Walking to reduce isn't half as bad as being reduced to walking, so cheer up. I cannot give you the home addresses of the stars, as most of them prefer to keep them private. Letters addressed to the players in care of the studios almost always bring a response. It is not always necessary to enclose two-bits when asking for a photo, and if I were you, I'd write first without enclosing anything except good wishes, for many stars do not demand remuneration for gratifying their friends' desire. When they have time, the players read their fan mail. Ben Lyon, care First National, 383 Madison Avenue, N. Y. C. Ben's latest are "Dance Madness" , "The Tender Hour" and "Hell's Kitchen" — title of latter may be changed. I don't mind telling you that it's being reported again that Ben may soon marry Marilynn; but the next little boy or girl who asks me that question is going to get smacked, and smacked hard. ]. H, Jackson, Michigan. Yes, yes, she said wearily, Joseph and Rudolph Schildkraut are, indeed, related. Son and father, J. H. Joe is married to Elise Bartlett, pretty "legit" actress, who may soon appear in a Cecil De Mille film. The Schildkrauts are Viennese. Joseph was born in Vienna. He was educated there, in Berlin and in Hamburg. He had an impressive stage career abroad. He's five feet eleven, weighs 150, has black hair and brown eyes. Address him at De Mille Studios, Culver City, Cal. Do'Do-Do, 7s[. T. Ah — you may soon realize your ambition of applauding Miss Gertrude Lawrence in celluloid as well as in the — ahem — flesh. The charming musical comedy star made a movietone test the other day which I hear was successful. How could it be otherwise, ask you? I know not. Gertrude also has a contract to make a picture for Cecil De Mille when her stage duties permit her to journey as far afield as California. What elegant language we are slinging! I believe Miss Lawrence has been married but is not now. I also believe she has a daughter. Lois Moran? Why, Do-Do, can it be possible you don't know our Lois? She's one of the sweetest ingenues in pictures and — now, now, wait a minute; let me finish — and she also has "It". You should see her. W. T. Mitchell, Manassas, Va. Sorry to keep you waiting but the mail does pile up. Claire Windsor is at the Metro-GoldwynMayer Studio, Culver City, Cal., at this writing; but I believe her contract is almost up and may not be renewed. Any letter addressed there will of course be forwarded to her home. Miss Windsor doesn't divulge her age, but I assume she must be in her late twenties. If I assume too much I hope Claire will forgive me. I'm sure she will, for she has a lovely, sunny disposition. If I were you, Mr. Mitchell, I should write to her direct, and I feel sure your request will be complied with. Verona, St. Louis. You are another Pride of St. Louis, I take it. At any rate, the town should be proud of such an inquisitive young lady. You ask me, Verona, for no less than two dozen addresses. I'll compromise by giving you a half-dozen. Dolores Costello, Warner Brothers, Hollywood, Cal. Renee Adoree, John Gilbert, Ricardo Cortez, Metro Goldwyn -Mayer, Culver City, Cal. Norman Kerry, Universal, Universal City, Cal. Greta Nissen, Fox Studio, Hollywood, Cal. Richard Dix, Paramount, Hollywood, Cal. Florence, Sapulpa, Okla. Sally O'Neil was born in Bayonne, N. J., blessed with the good Irish name of Virginia Noonan — "Chotsie" for short. She was educated at the Notre Dame Convent in N. Y. C. Her father was the late Judge Thomas Noonan of New Jersey; her mother was a well-known opera singer. So, when fate approached Sally with tempting offers of a screen career, the child was all ready with plenty of inherited pep and talent. Her mother was a direct descendent of the famous Costello family, Irish actors who played all over the world. It would be interesting to know if Sally is thus remotely related to Maurice, Dolores, and Helene, wouldn't it? Some geneologist had better get busy. Sally was dancing at the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles one night when Marshall Neilan and his wife, Blanche Sweet, spotted her. "There's just the girl to play my 'Mi^e'," cried Mickey. And so Sally became a movie .star. She has played in "Don't", "Sally, Irene, and Mary", "Slide, Kelly Slide", and "Frisco Sally Levy". Sally is eighteen, with Irish blue eyes and brown hair. Cinderella O'Neil is right. C. M., Chicago. Best of luck to Miss Vee Dee and Tom Tyler, say you. Since you put it that way I can't very well refuse your request for lots of information about Tom, can I? And I'm only too glad to help you. He was born at Port Henry, N. H., twenty-two years ago. He's an expert horseman, and also holds the American and the world's record in weight-lifting in Ben Dale received $200 for this drawing You might have made it Ben Dale is one of the best known commercial artists in New York. You see his work in all the leading magazines. You perhaps know many of the advertisers who pay him large sums for his drawings. Ben Dale always had a natural talent for drawing, yet he has not always been the great artist that he is today. Time was when he scarcely could draw a straight line — when he knew less about the correct handling of line and wash and color than you do right now. But he worked and studied, and "drew and drew" as he puts it, until he trained his hand to put down on paper the dream pictures that he saw so clearly in his mind. All of his great creative ability might have been wasted without the right kind of training — without hard work. If you have a natural talent for drawing, you have a priceless gift that is given to but few men and women. By all means take steps to develop it before the years fly by and it is too late.
