Charles H. Connie Bennett is still unmarried ; but you had better watch out for Henry Falaise and Joel McCrea — both — if you are planning to rush Miss Bennett to the altar. But good luck, my boy — she may send you her photograph.
Alice M. Be sure you're right, then go ahead — he who hesitates never gets the big answer from me. Ruth Chatterton has blueeyes and brown hair. Did you know that Ruth has written 25 songs, sang in musical comedy and at one time played in stock with Lowell Sherman, Pauline Lord and Lenore Ulric? David Manners has greygreen eyes. His wife is Suzanne Bushnell. Kay Johnson is in "The Single Sin" with Bert Lytell. Kay is married but has no children.
May oj Glendale. This business of being all bothered can't sleep at night or snatch a nap or two at the movies, with a generally run-down condition over the movie stars, isn't a joke, is it? Perhaps these lines will take a load off the chest. Buddy Rogers, Clara Bow and Audrey Ferris are all Americans ; Norma Shearer is a Canadian, and Greta Garbo is from Stockholm, Sweden. Greta was born Sept. 18, 1906. For March and April birthdays of the players, consult those same issues of
SCREENLAND.
Madeline D. All the grand things you say about my department are true, but I'm far too modest to admit it. Joan Crawford weighs 110 pounds; Billie Dove, 115 pounds and is 5 feet 5 inches tall. Marion Davies weighs 120 pounds. Myrna Loy is 5 feet 6 inches tall. Kay Francis weighs 112 pounds and is 5 feet 5 inches tall. Kay was born on Friday, January 13, but doesn't tell what year.
Vivian R. So you've heard a lot about me — just as I thought, even my best friends would tell me. Sue Carol is 22, Nancy Carroll is 24, Alice White is 23. Helen Kane is 22 and Nick Stuart is 25 years old. Sue Carol is the wife of Nick. Stuart; Nancy Carroll's husband is Jack Kirkland. Helen Kane is married, but the matrimonial bark struck a rock some time ago. Latest reports are, a reconciliation has made the sailing smooth again.
Miriam F. In "The Divorcee," starring Norma Shearer, you saw Chester Morris, Conrad Nagel and Robert Montgomery. Paul Lukas was not in the cast. William Janney played the role of Douglas Fairbanks, Jr.'s brother in "The Dawn Patrol." Sally Starr, Ben Bard, Ralph Graves and William Desmond were born on January 23. In my usual assortment of stars' birthdays, I haven't one to offer for December 21, but December 24 was Ruth Chatterton's, and what a grand Christmas gift she proved to be.
The Girl of the Month — and a lot of other months, too. Constance Bennett keeps right on adding to her army of admirers; and Miss Vee Dee keeps right on answering questions about Connie!
Sue Broicn. You ask what is this world coming to? What I'd like to know is when! Robert Montgomery was on the stage before he was 20 years old and had played about seventy-five different parts in less than sixty weeks. He was on the New York stage when M-G-M gave him a picture contract. His first film was "So This is College," then followed "Untamed" with Joan Crawford, and "Their Own Desires" with Norma Shearer. Irene Dunne, star of "Cimarron," with Richard Dix. is the wife of Dr. F. D. Griffin of New York City.
K. Yoo-Hoo. Yoo-Hoo yourself, I'm fine. Come on over ! "The Blue Angel" was recorded in Germany with Emil Jannings and Marlene Dietrich, and released by Paramount for this country. Sorry I haven't the names of the two songs Marlene sang in the film. Her latest release is "Dishonored," with Victor McLaglen.
A Friendly Joan. If love is blind how can so many fall in love at first sight, has

puzzled even greater minds than mine. Anita Page was born Aug. 4, 1910, and Joan Crawford on March 23, 1908. Joan and Douglas Fairbanks, Jr. were married June 3, 1929. "Joan's new picture, "Torch Song," has been retitled "Laughing Sinners." She also stars in "This Modern Age."
Eleanor R. It is almost impossible to keep a record of players who appear in just one or two pictures. Sorry I do not know Dick Alexander, who played with Jacqueline Logan in "The Leopard Lady." But if he should bob up again I'll let you know.
Peggy W. You can't hear enough about Charles Rogers to suit you. Buddy is such a modest young man, hard worker, never finds time or place or the girl to startle the world with an engagement, so there's nothing exciting to tell you about him — except that in "The Lawyer's Secret" he appears with an honest-to-goodness mustache. His own, too. Buddy is 25 years old, has black hair, brown eyes, weighs 175 pounds and is 6 feet tall. He is an accomplished musician, being able to play every instrument in a dance orchestra.
Emma Helenc K. Wearing eye-glasses once in a while might prove a handicap in crashing the Hollywood gates, for glasses do get smashed about so, but with hundreds of movie aspirants waiting at the gate for that same chance, your make-up wouldn't get you very far.

Myrna Loy, whose real name is Williams, was born in Helena, Montana, in 1906. She has green eyes and titiancolored hair.
Nancy G. You wonder why Greta Garbo was so anxious to go back to Sweden for a visit? She has a very devoted mother and brother over there. Blanche Mehaffey was born July 28, 1907, in Cincinnati, Ohio. She has red hair, greyblue eyes, weighs 119 pounds and is 5 feet 3 inches tall. She was on the stage two years and has been in pictures about seven. Alice Joyce was born in October. 1890, in Kansas City, Mo.
