Screenland (Nov 1934-Apr 1935)

96 Men Avoided Me I JUST LOVE to dance — always did. But it got so the men simply would not ask me. I could see them looking my way — and shrugging their shoulders. It was heartbreaking, but there didn't seem to be a single thing I could do. Finally someone told me about Marmola— how it contains a natural corrective for abnormal obesity, known and recommended by physicians the world over. It sounded so easy I just couldn't believe my ears! But I took Marmola exactly as directed— 4 tablets a day— and imagine my astonishment to find myself actually getting thin! Without exercising, dieting, or draining my system with drastic purgatives ! Now I'm slender —feel fine. .... If the thousands of women who have reduced the Marmola way were to take you into their confidence, you would probably be amazed how many would tell you experiences similar to that related above. Everything they ate "seemed to go to fat." Do you know why? Physicians will tell women that abnormal obesity is caused by the lack of an important element which the body normally supplies. Marmola provides one such element in a perfectly natural way. Day by day it assists the body to function in the reduction of excess fat. As they get rid of excess fat they feel lighter, more alert, more energetic. The excess fat simply slips away, revealing the trim and slender figure underneath. Since 1907, more than 20 million packages of Marmola have been purchased. Could any better recommendation be had? And it is put up by one of the leading medical laboratories of America. Start today! You will soon experience Marmola's benefits. When you have gone far enough, stop taking Marmola. And you will bless the day when you first discovered this marvelous reducing agent! Marmola is on sale by all dealers. 4 MARMOLA A DAY TAKES FAT AWAY ASTHMA HAY FEVER BRONCHIAL BEFORE AFTER SUFFERING OVERCOME— Quickly, Safely!

BOTH GIVEN SCREENLAND hut the words must match perfectly with the mouth movement and facial expression as the finished picture cuts from the "closeup" to the "long shot" and back again. For this reason the lines of every important speech in a picture must be learned letter perfect and must always be delivered that way. All picture budgets allow for a certain amount of wasted film footage to provide for the "I'm sorrics" which clutter every cutting-room floor. Awkward speeches are eliminated from scripts as far as possible before scenes are made, but it is humanly impossible to avoid some lapses of memory and some slips of the tongue. Faces are not the only things found on the cutting-room floors of Hollywood. Words are there too, hundreds, thousands, millions of words; long words and short words, misplaced words and mispronounced words, unnecessary words and swear words. If one were to bring them all back to life through a projector one short sentence would be heard a hundred times more often than any other — the costliest words in Hollywood's vocabulary : "I'm sorry !" Here's Hollywood Continued from page 69 HOLLYWOOD always was, is, and probably always will be a "show town." Even studio previews of new movies are sometimes attended by novelty and glamor. When "Judge Priest" was given its initial preview, studio executives notified the invited guests by means of a regular court subpoena. This summons was such a close imitation of the real thing that several invitees, (who were actually dodging court attachments at the time), hastily threw them away without discovering that the entire matter was a publicity stunt. IS THE laugh on Bing Crosby, or Richard Arlen? These two are the greatest of friendly rivals, so when Crosby snagged a 188-pound shark, Arlen determined to do likewise. With time off between pictures, Dick went forth in search of a bigger shark, and for seven days he fished. Unfortunately for his pride, he got nary a nibble. Making it worse, his joke was spoiled. The joke was that he intended to catch a shark bigger than Bing's, then send it to the Crooner with this note: "We are using them this size for bait!" IF YOU live in any of the cities mentioned in the paragraphs below, perhaps you know the "secret fans" concerned. If so, will you write and tell the respective stars the names of said fans? A Milwaukee, Wisconsin, fan writes Bing Crosby a twenty-totwenty-five page letter every week, but never signs her full name, nor has she ever given the Crooner her address for a reply. A girl in Dallas, Texas, has telephoned Jean Harlow monthly for more than two years. She pays the tolls for her three minute chat, but she's never told Jean more than her first name, Beryl. A boy or man, who gives his name only as "Bob," has sent an ice-packed magnolia from Memphis, Tennessee, to Irene Dunne, every day for the past two months. . The stars would like to know whom to thank.
