Screenland (May-Oct 1928)

SCREENLAND 11 has since advanced to that point of ability and popularity where she can afford to free' lance, that is, choose the company to work for and the kind of roles she likes to play. A few months ago she was the guest of friends at a party given in the Cocoanut Grove. Also in the party was George J. Hausen. They were dancing when the head waiter interrupted with a telegram for Mr. Hausen. It was a very important message and had to be answered immediately. Mr. Hausen conducted Miss Mehaffey to their table, excused himself and went out into the lobby. Presently he came back. He had to have a stenographer immediately, he said, and there was none available in the hotel at the moment. He would have to leave the party and go in search of one at that late hour of the night. It was past one. Blanche looked up at him regretfully, sympathetically. Was the nature of the business very confidential, she asked. It wasn't. Then, would he like her to do his shorthand for him? George Hausen was confused. The thought of a movie star taking down his notes about oil wells made him blush. But he took her up. And that, dear friends, was the way the romance began. Now Blanche returns to Broadway, and Alice in Wonderland never had a happier time. For a few days after her arrival as the wife of George J. Hausen, Mr. Ziegfeld sent a telegram from Washington, where he was trying out his production of The Three Musketeers. In it he proclaimed her 'the ideal Ziegfeld Girl,' added that she has the most beautiful eyes he, the greatest judge of feminine beauty, has ever seen, and offered her a part in any of his big shows, The Three Musketeers, Show Boat, Rio Rita or Rosalie, if she would only return to the stage. Will she? Well, perhaps. Maybe if George Hausen made his headquarters in New York instead of Los Angeles. For Blanche still likes to take his notes down in shorthand. Broadway is not the only part of New York that has seen Blanche Mehaffey during her honeymoon visit. Ask the standees on the bread lines of the Madonna House, 173 Cherry Street. They know. On the coldest day of the year, an early Sunday morning too, the Hausens journeyed down to the lower east side and shared their happiness with several hundred unemployed. Their hands, feet and noses freezing, they distributed cigarettes, tobacco, candy and woolen mittens to the poor unfortunates on the bread lines of the city. That's one way of celebrating a honeymoon, and to the recipients of their gifts a most excellent way. One concluding note. Blanche Mehaffey observes that New York is getting to resemble Hollywood. Once upon a time elaborate picture openings, with tickets boosted sky-high, was a genius peculiar only to Hollywood. Now it is quite the thing in the eastern metropolis, she finds. Then too, Broadway used to be a street of stage plays. Now every big theatre on what is known as the 'main stem' houses a special picture production. But the things on Broadway that hold her entranced are the huge electric letters and displays used to advertise the film attractions. She could stare at them for hours. . j — r' ~ Rupert Hughes, Rob Wagner and Delight Evans — scattered through this number like plums in a pudding. SCREENLAND is the fastest growing fan magazine.
