Screenland (May-Oct 1931)

for October 19 3 1 95 proud of his daughter? Just ask him! Conrad Nagel was 34 years old on March 16, 1931. He is 6 feet tall, weighs 180 pounds and has light brown hair and blue eyes. He plays with Ramon Novarro in "Son of India." Nellie K. John Loder was born in London, England, and has brown hair and hazel eyes. His father was Major-General Sir William Lowe of the English army. John made his screen debut in 1927 for Ufa, playing leads in ten important pictures before coming to the United States. Barry Norton has appeared in "What Price Glory," "Mother Knows Best," "Four Devils" and "The Exalted Flapper;" and his latest film, "Dishonored," with Marlene Dietrich. Lorraine H. For grand entertainment, go to see "Skippy" with the adorable Jackie Cooper and that goes for Bobbie Coogan and Jackie Searl too. Sorry I'm not able to give you Colleen Moore's home addre5%. She hasn't made any definite picture plans since her road tour in "On the Loose" but don't be surprised to hear of her comeback to the screen any time now. We can't let Colleen do a fade-out on us, can we ? Virginia McD. I don't like to be all kinds of a wet blanket but my advice on "how can I get in the movies ?" is — don't try, and I say it with all kindness. Too many stranded, hopeful youths in Hollywood, waiting for the good breaks that never come. Charles Rogers is neither married nor engaged but Conrad Nagel is married and has a young daughter. Charles' latest picture is "The Lawyer's Secret," with Clive Brook, Richard Arlen, Fay Wray and Jean Arthur. Charles (exBuddy) does the best work of his screen career in this film — if I'm wrong, don't stop me. Richard Dix is one of Hollywood's most interesting bachelors. V. M., Rye, N. Y. That's the time I fooled you — I'm not an old answer man but a young answer lady. Gary Cooper's birthday is on May 7 and not on March 7, as you've been told. Gary did not play with Clara Bow in "It" but Antonio Moreno was the heavy date. However, Gary did play with Clara in "Children of Divorce," also Esther Ralston, Hedda Hopper and the late Norman Trevor. Phyllis. Back issues of Screenland may be obtained — that is, if we have the issues you desire. Delight Evans reviewed "No Place to Go" with Mary Astor featured, in the January 1928 issue, but February 1926 is not available. She also reviewed "Flesh and the Devil" with John Gilbert and Greta Garbo in the April 1927 issue. That may be obtained if you wish it. Catherine, Bayside, L. I. You wish the producers would give us more pictures like "Daddy Long Legs," "Skippy," "Cimarron" and "Annabelle's Affairs" and forget all about the gangster stuff. Good girl, Catherine, you tell 'em and I'll echo! William Haines is in "Just a Gigolo," with Irene Purcell. Anita Page appears with John Gilbert and the late Louis Wolheim in "Gentleman's Fate." Greta Garbo's leading man in her next picture, "Susan Lenox, Her Fall and Rise," is Clark Gable, the young man from Cadiz, Ohio, who has made good in Hollywood and how good ! Mary from Houston. Your first letter to me, isn't it? Not hard to get in the lime-light if you write a nice letter to me — whisk, -whisk, away goes your letter and here you are in a famous column. Gwen Lee and Jack Oakie were born on Nov. 12, Jacqueline Logan on Nov. 13, Edna Murphy on Nov. 17 and Nancy Carroll on Nov. 19. Your birthday, Nov. 15, seems to be the off-day for stars. Lupe Velez is 22, Greta Garbo was 25 on Sept. 18, and John Barrymore is 49. Charles M. W. Col. Tim McCoy is one of the most interesting figures in screen history. He was born April 10, 1891, in Saginaw, Mich., the son of an army officer, and was educated at Ignatius College, Chicago. He went to Wyoming when young and became the protege of Gen. Hugh L. Scott, the world's greatest Indian authority. Tim learned the ways of the tribes, knows their sign language and is the author of several articles on their folk-lore. He travelled with a troupe of Indians through Europe, lecturing on their history and manners, and was a theatrical sensation. In this country, McCoy has the reputation of being able to do more with the Indians than any other white man. He holds the title of Colonel in the regular army. Amelia M. I have never heard that Earle Foxe was an Austrian Baron or even a near relative of the nobility. He is an American, born in Oxford, Ohio. He is 6 feet 1 inch tall, weighs 190 pounds and has brown hair and blue eyes. In recent pictures he has had the misfortune to be put on the spot and been the victim of many a stray bullet but always recovers to be put in the next bad man role. Eleanor R. "One Exciting Night" was released in 1923 — too far back to give the entire cast. In "Show People" the principal players were Marion Davies, William Haines, Del Henderson and Paul Ralli. Jack Stone was The Infant in "Lilac Time" with Colleen Moore and Gary Cooper. Sonia D. Charles Morton has gone back to the stage after failing to get the breaks in films. He is married to Lola Medona. Walter Byron is not married. He was born in Leicester, England, on June 11, 1902. His father is George Butler, the English comedian, and bis mother, Dulcie Lawrence, was a prominent leading woman until her retirement from the stage a few years ago. Walter was a private in the English army at the age of 14, though he passed for 18. He came out after the armistice a sergeant major with two wound stripes and a citation. He was on the stage in London as leading man in musical comedy, played in numerous screen productions and was finally discovered by Samuel Goldwyn and hustled off to the U. S. A. Frances B. IV. I believe the silent picture, "Surrender," made in 1927 with Mary Philbin, was not published in book form but created for the screen by Alexander Brody ; scenario by Charles Kenyon and directed by Edward Sloman. And as the blonde twins say, introducing the Hal Roach comedies — "We thank you." "Surrender" was the story of a Rabbi's daughter who sacrifices herself to save her people. Henry L. Sorry I haven't Samuel Goldwyn's home address. You'll find he is as busy as a picture star — what with flitting about here and there, looking for star dust. "Homesick" with Sammy Cohen, Marjorie Beebe and Henry Armetta was from an original story by John Stone and directed by him also. You might be able to reach him by addressing him, John Stone, Director and Screen Writer, Hollywood, Cal. Mrs. A. G. Molly O'Day hasn't made a picture for a long time. She has been taking a fling on the stage but her sister Sally O'Neil is soon to be seen in "The Brat" with Frank Albertson, Leslie Howard, June Collyer, Virginia Cherrill and other featured players. Leslie Howard is the young Broadway actor who played with Norma Shearer, Lionel Barrymore and Clark Gable in "A Free Soul." Margaret Mann, who played so wonderfully in "Four Sons," plays the role of the housekeeper in "The Brat." A beautiful sylvan scene from Garbo's newest vehicle, "Susan Lenox. Her Fall and Rise." Surely Clark Gable doesn't need a police dog to protect him from the ravishing Greta? Clark, incidentally, is the leading "rave" among the newer crop of Hollywood young men.
