Screenland (May-Oct 1931)

for September 19 3 1 127 cerning my favorite star. Could anyone be sweeter than Mary Brian? I was never really interested in actresses, but after seeing Mary I wanted to read about her. Please don't make our Mary sophisticated — -though I doubt whether anyone could. She is just about the only sweet but very peppy girl in Hollywood! We need her for refreshing our minds after the very sophisticated pictures. Lillian Curry, Rt. 5, Box 28, Salem, Ore. STAR-GAZING Below are the six great unknowns who will eventually win their way to stardom in the near future on the screen : 1. Clark Gable. Like the late Valentino, he will some day gain a part like Julio in "The Four Horsemen" and become the screen's leading personality. 2. Sally Eilers. Just as potent as the great Norma Shearer, yet producers do not recognize her true worth. Relegated to small parts, at last Miss Eilers shines brilliantly as the gangster's moll in "Quick Millions." 3. Karen Morley. Surprisingly great as the suicide in Garbo's last picture "Inspiration." A younger Chatterton in the making. 4. Don Cook. A runner-up to James Cagney in the perfect gangster picture, "The Public Enemy." 5. Edward Woods. The bad boy companion of James Cagney in "The Public Enemy." A vast improvement in his acting ability than his overacting part in "Mother's Cry." 6. Last but not least, Anita Louise. Her small, inconspicuous part in Helen Twelvetrees' "Millie" denoted a not yet mature actress of sensitive qualities, similar to Lillian Gish. Dick J. Abbate, 630 Mary Street, Utica, N. Y. A FOUR-G COMBINATION? I want to tell you movie managers that you are making a big mistake in not letting Gavin Gordon act with Greta Garbo. Many people are wondering why that wonderful couple aren't acting together again. Here's to Gavin Gordon and Greta Garbo ! V. Pile, 261 Kurtz Ave., York, Pa. Screen News Continued from page 91 Winnie Lightner, the lucky girl, went out on the Warner lot recently and found herself the owner of a grand new dressingroom-on-wheels. It's all done in soft brown tones, with wicker furniture, and has a living room, bedroom and kitchen, frigidaire and all, with even a cook on hand to make up Winnie's favorite lunches. Winnie says she's tempted to go in for recipes now. considered highly eligible, geous singing voice. He has a gor Well, that's nice. Dietrich says Garbo is her favorite actress. Garbo says Dietrich is her favorite actress. But still, at this writing, they haven't met. Evalyn Knapp grew a little alarmed recently over a loss in weight that has put her in the 100 pound class. So she decided maybe her fellow-player in "Side Show," Ann Magruder, who weighs a mere 580, could tell her what to do about it. But Ann told her the only way to get fat was to eat plenty of potatoes and refuse to work. "Now what kind of advice is that for a lady what's trying to get ahead?" sighs Evalyn disconsolately. We hope Evalyn's recovery from the effects of her recent accident is going to continue coming along fast. Pola Negri likewise insists Garbo is her favorite actress. "I knew her first in Hollywood when she was a nobody, taught her screen make-up, and was her first woman friend here, so I feel she is my protegee," says Pola fondly. Novarro can brag of being one of the few continual successes in Hollywood for ten years. Many stars have staged comebacks after intervals of heart-break, but Ramon goes on forever. It was just ten years ago that this young Mexician made his first hit in "The Prisoner of Zenda." Now he both directs and acts, and is a more successful star than ever. Moreover, he is to burst forth as the author of his next picture, which he has been given a four months vacation to write. He has decided upon Europe for this literary interval. Watch out for Nora Gregor ! Nora has just made a stage appearance with Doug Fairbanks, Jr. In spite of her Scotch name, which, she smiles, must have come down through some Scotch ancestor, Nora is Austrian. She made a great hit in Max Rienhardt productions in Germany and Austria, and was also a success in Berlin films. Hollywood brought her here a year ago to appear in German versions of films, and then she went back, still not knowing English. Louise Brooks gave us a flutter by wearing dashing evening pajamas on the dance floor at the Cocoanut Grove recently. Genevieve Tobin wears them for tennis, and pretty well all the stars wear them now for house dresses or home-dinner parties. Marjorie King, until recently of Broadway, seems to be casting very favorable eyes upon Lawrence Gray. Larry being M.G.M. fetched Nora Gregor back for more German pictures, but she stopped off for six weeks in Michigan and learned English — lovely, soft, entrancing English in six weeks ! Some of us don't achieve it in years. So directly she arrived, Doug Fairbanks, Jr., selected her as his leading lady for the stage play, "The Man in Possession." Her triumph was instantaneous. She's adorable. Tallish, a dark blonde, not exactly pretty, but brimming with a gay sort of radiance that is better than any beauty. She is married to an orchestra leader in Berlin, and has something of the GarboDietrich effect on one, but is less subtlelooking. Her father was an Austrian landowner, who lost it all to Italy in the war. "So although my father did not approve of the stage for me, I was the only one who could help support the family," she tells gaily, as though that were the best bit of luck. She is a clever musician, singer. SUBSTITUTE DUPLICATE THIS wonderful liquid mascara which timed by the stars of Hollywood. leaves your lashes soft and silky, yet it u absolutely waterproof.
