Screenland (May–Oct 1927)

SCREENLAND 13 made such a hit opposite Jack Mulhall in "The Poor A[ut", was in town for a time. New York is home for Jean, because she attended school here before the movies called her. She has had comedy training which will be of value to her in essaying more serious roles. Keep your eyes on Jean. Two young men who make a living publicizing motion pictures have stepped right out into another field. The result is a musical comedy revue "MerryGo-Round" , now running in a New York theatre. The proud authors are Howard Diets, the brilliant young advertising and publicity manager for Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, and Morrie Ryskind, the equally young, if not younger, press agent who also conducts the Stage Coach department for Screenland. One of the numbers in their revue is a little burlesque on the old-time western movie melodrama. All in fun. Esther Ralston, one of those exiles to Hollywood when Paramount moved out west, came back for a vacation "between pictures". "The gorgeous blonde", as her bosses bill her — and if any girl was ever gorgeous, and a blonde, surely it's Esther — brought her sense of humor and her husband with her. Blondes are not supposed to have a real sense of humor, but Esther has. Her husband is George Webb, who became her manager before Esther was a star and who has been managing her ever since much to their mutual satisfaction. They have been married now — why, it must be almost two years. And happier than ever. You can tell to look at them. That young Scotch-Englishman who is such a riot in Metro-Goldwyn comedies, arrived in town to see the sights and to let the town see him. George K. Arthur talks and dresses like an Englishman; but he was born in Scotland — and an exceedingly good scot, too. (Scot — scout. Now laugh.) George is in perpetual good humor, it seems; and he's always playing practical jokes on his fellow-players out in California. He didn't play any here that we heard of. He was too busy having interviews, talking over the radio, and what-not. Also, busy dodging young ladies who have seen him on the screen as half of the comedy team of Arthur and Dane, and who, glimpsing George on the street, would cry, "There's that cute little George K. Arthur!" George has a pretty wife and baby in that little gray home in the west. Pauline Starke went to Europe for a vacation and — oh, yes — to do a little shopping on the side. Pauline is a free-lance now, so she can take little pleasure jaunts like that whenever she feels like it. Have you ever wondered what has happened to Susan Fleming, Screenland's "Don't Worry" Girl? You haven't been seeing her in any pictures lately, have you? There's a reason, and to Susan it seems a good one. She has returned to her first love, musical comedy. She's one of the bright and shining lights in Ziegfeld's lavish show, now running in Manhattan, "Rio Rita". When Paramount moved west, Miss Fleming decided she couldn't tear herself away from New York — it's her home, where she lives with her parents. And along about that time came the tempting offer to. adorn the new revue with her sparkling presence. So Susan said goodbye to pictures. But perhaps she'll be back some day.
