Screenland (Nov 1931-Mar 1932)

124 SCREENLAND provided for them, embracing all the grades up to a certain limit. Jackie Coogan has been attending a military academy when not in pictures and Bobby Cooper is in school on the Paramount lot. Burton G. B. When extras were called to appear in a scene of "Tonight or Never," Gloria Swanson's next picture, one of the players proved to be Nick Caruso, a cousin of the late Enrico Caruso, the greatest operatic star of all time. Nick has been in pictures for two years. With the exception of Allison Skipworth, all of Gloria's supporting cast were in the original Broadway production. Gloria is now Mrs. Michael Farmer, and has gone to Europe with her new husband. Curious Sally. What this vcrlc needs right now is a one dollar laugh for a nickel, but if you can catch me you can laugh at me for nothing. Una Merkel gives us a lot of laughs with her quaint perky little Merkel-isms and droll way of poking fun at her film partners. Una was born about 23 years ago in Covington, Ky. She has 1 londe hair, blue eyes and is 5 feet 3 inches tall. She played with Janet Gaynor in "Daddy Long Legs," with Elissa Landi in "Wicked" and in "Terror by Night" with William Collier, Jr., and ZaSu Pitts. Pentland C. The stars do not lay such stress on age as we fans do so when I fail to give the exact date of their birth, please don't hold that against me.

She is 5 feet 4 inches tall, weighs 104 pounds and has dark brown hair and blue-green eyes. Mary Doran was born in New York City but the year isn't mentioned. She is 5 feet 2Vj inches tall, weighs 110 pounds and has blonde hair and brown eyes. Marguerite Churchill was born Dec. 25, 1911, and if I'm wrong, call me down. Her latest release is "Ambassador Bill" with Will Rogers. Lisabct L. Here's a suggestion for you on themes played during the showing of features and serials — make a mental note of Director, Words and Music, Cameraman, Ensembles, Author, Editor, Scenarist, Dialoguer, Titler, Costumer, and so on down the line. If everything goes well, you may have time to tuck away a good nap before the action begins. I haven't been able to get the name, if any, of the music used in the serial, "The Vanishing Legion," with Harry Carey, Edwina Booth, and Frankie Darrow. I'll keep on trying and will slip you the good news if I hear it. George S. Many a picture has had the acting line-up changed almost with the batting of an eyelash, so don't feel you are not correctly informed as to the movements of your favorite stars. They are assigned to a role, then taken out, titles changed at will and we are not consulted, but who cares, we see our favorites in some grand pictures, don't we ? Tom Keene is not in "Suicide Fleet." Bill Boyd, Robert Armstrong and James Gleason are featured with Ginger Rogers and Harry Bannister in the film. John Wayne appears with Buck Jones and Susan Fleming in "The Range Feud." Colin G. You are the first to ask about Ruth Hall but you won't be alone in your thirst for information about the promising young lady for just let Screenland start something and you couldn't quell the riot with machine guns, and who wants to ? In the December 1931 issue, you'll find Ruth making good as a dancer in Joe E. Brown's latest picture, "Local Boy Makes Good," with Dorothy Lee, Edward Woods, Edward Nugent and others. The film is from the play, "The Poor Nut." Margie, Mary Brian Fan. Hollywood is not unlike any other town ; happiness and heartaches, big money and no money at all — it's a gay life if you don't lead it. Mary Brian is holding her own very nicely, thank you, and she has not forsaken jumping gelatines. She plays with Leo Carrillo, Noah Beery and Russell Gleason in "Homicide Squad," her most recent release. It is true that Lew Ayres and Lola Lane were married on Sept. 14, 1931. Dorothy C. I have no cure for the heart trouble you enjoy when Anthony "Smile, now!" Dorothy Dix, the peppy little actress who plays opposite Ray Cooke in the "Torchy" comedies, does some directing in her spare time. She's teaching Ginger, her fluffy playmate, how to face the camera. Bushell appears on the screen and it may cause a sharp twinge when I tell you he is happily married to Zelma O'Neal, the little red-headed cut-up of stage and screen. They've been married since Nov. 22, 1928. Anthony was born in Westerham, Kent, England, about 26 years ago. He has blonde hair and blue-grey eyes. He attracted a lot of attention on the New York stage in 1927 when he played with the late Jeanne Eagels in "Her Cardboard Lover." He made his film debut with George Arliss in "Disraeli." He was splendid as Lieutenant Hibbard in "Journey's End." Dorothy D. The class in pronunciation will please stagger forward. Joan Crawford's first name is one syllable, Joan. Stuart Walker, stage producer, developed many screen actors and actresses. Janet Gaynor's is accented on the first part, Jan-et, and Mickey Mouse is said with a quick catch of the breath and a stitch in the side. Joan Crawford attended Stephens College for Girls for a year and was a pupil at St. Anges Academy also. Harrison Ford, Bardson Bard (Ben Bard), Leslie Fenton, Gloria Hope and Charles Farrell played with Madge Bellamy in "Sandy" in 1926. Chas. M. W. As we no longer publish fan club news, I'm sorry I can't refer you to a Jack Holt and Buck Jones Club. Any other information about the stars, I'll be most happy to give.

Rex Bell and Clara Bow are 26 years of age; Miriam Hopkins is 29, and Tallulah Bankhead and Pola Negri do not give their ages. Roland Young and H. B. Warner appear with Pola Negri in her next picture, "A Woman Commands." Karen Morely, M-G-M stock player, will be in another Greta Garbo starring vehicle when she plays in "Mata Hari." Karen made her film debut in "Inspiration" with Greta. She plays in "The Cuban Love Song" with Lawrence
