Screenland (May-Oct 1930)

SCREENLAND Blossom-white skin — a bleach cream is the secret Nowadays the skin is "being worn." And the perfection of the ensemble depends, as every woman knows, on a blossom-white harmony of face, neck, back, arms, and hands. There is only one way to achieve that harmony. Ordinary creams cannot whiten the skin. The present vogue requires Golden Peacock — solely a bleach cream — to wipe away the troubling stains, the unwanted tan, the summer's freckles, and leave the skin youthful, lovely, white. At night, a pleasant film of Golden Peacock. When you awake, a skin rejoicing, safely restored to soft and natural whiteness. Thousands of women are daily delighted by the wholesome magic of Golden Peacock. ... At toiletry counters, in $1 jars.

C dcrfo! 50UND ^MWS By Evelyn Ballarine Peering at Pictures in Production I don't know whether the discovery of a new planet had anything to do with it or not but Columbia Pictures are on the hunt for a future star. The only difference is that Columbia already has a name for the future discovery (she's to be called Miss Columbia, of course!) and the planet was discovered first and is still to be named. Miss Columbia must have youth, beauty, and versatility. Come on, girls, don't be so modest — here's your chance to crash the studio gates! Their ability to speak more than one language has put many screen players on the screen map again or should' we say, put their maps on the screen again? You want proof? All right — Pauline Garon is grateful to her French ancestors; she has been given the feminine lead in the French version of "The Unholy Night." Because Gilbert Roland knows his Spanish, he has been given the male lead in the English and Spanish versions of "Monsieur Le Fox." This film is to be made in five languages; English, French, Spanish, Italian and German. Little Nina Quartero has the feminine lead in the English, French and Spanish transcriptions. Antonio Moreno and Barry Norton are profiting by their ability to speak Spanish. They are to play in the Spanish version of "The Benson Murder Case." Paramount Pictures are forming stock companies to make films for the foreign trade and this is the first film to be made. Marilyn Miller is back in Hollywood for her next talker. "Sally," her first, was a 'natural' and clicked. First National Pictures have large plans for Miss Miller. By the way, there's a diamond on the third finger of her left hand. Right! She's engaged. Michael Farmer, of Ireland, is the fortunate man. Young and wealthy, they say. Have you heard of Greta Garbo's "Romance?" Sorry to disappoint you — ■ it's just the title of her second talker. Greta plays an Italian opera singer who falls in love with a clergyman, played by Gavin Gordon. You've never heard of him? Allow me to introduce him — Mr. Gordon, may I present your public? He's young, handsome, and — oh, see the picture! I don't suppose it matters much but it seems to me that Zasu Pitts and Cliff Edwards have the most individual talkie voices — well, maybe I'm wrong. Here's a picture for your Must list: "With Commander Byrd at the South Pole." It's a pictorial record of the explorer's recently finished trip. It will bt shown with a iecture by Richard E. Byrd and will be released by Paramount. Although the talkies have been in vogue for over two years the following players are only making their talking debuts now: Lon Chaney, Nils Asther, Molly O'Day, Lew Cody, Buster Keaton and Mary Astor. Lon Chaney is making a talkie version of "The Unholy Three." He made the silent film some years ago with Victor McLaglen and Mae Busch in his support. Jack Conway will direct the first Chaney talker. Nils Asther has been on a vaudeville tour and has been studying English. It is reported that he will play in "Eyes of the World," a Henry King Production. That is good news to Nils Asther's feminine fans who have been clamoring for his pictures. Molly O'Day, reduced to sylph-like dimensions, is on the Columbia lot and working in "Sisters," with her sister, Sally O'Neil. Lew Cody has been given an important role in Gloria Swanson's next film, "What a Widow!" Owen Moore, also, has a feature part. Gloria will probably wear such stunning gowns that we will all be going in for 'widow's weeds.' Buster Keaton's first talker is "Free and Easy." Buster is also making a Spanish version of this comedy and Racquel Torres' sister, Renee, has the feminine lead. Mary Astor speaks for the first time in "Ladies Love Brutes." (Oh, yeah?) This is a George Bancroft picture. Eddie Cantor is out in Hollywood making "Whoopee." This film is to be produced by Samuel Goldwyn and Florenz Ziegfeld and will probably have some of the glorified femmes in it.
