Screenland (Nov 1935-Apr 1936)

for December 1933 91 Hollywood Stars at Their Worst STOP A Continued from page 17 burned magnificently: "You fool!" she shouted, "why don't you look where you're going?" The "fool" turned out to be a columnist and a critic on an evening newspaper. Well, poor Madge knew just what to expect after that. That old debonair William Powell is at his worst in any kind of a card game except poker. Now I don't mean he's a poor sport or a bad loser, none of that. Bill is the hysterical type when it comes to cards. Just invite him some evening for a serious little game of bridge — or hearts, if you prefer. The more serious you become, the funnier Bill will think the whole thing is, and very likely just as you are about to make a grand slam Bill will start laughing his head off. The whole thing is just too, too amusing to Mr. William Powell. Of course he will make very smart and disconcerting comments all during the game, and if he finds that you are getting annoyed — (you're an old frump if you do) — he will probably break into song, or maybe tell a joke. Playing bridge with Mr. Powell is nothing less than a three-ring circus. Automobiles, it would seem, bring out the worst in Mae West. Mae has an eye for a big car and a flashy car, and she doesn't want any of that small fry on the Paramount lot going her one better. About a month ago Miss West crashed through with a new Cadillac that was a dream to behold, and parked there in front of her dressing-room it looked like the Empire State building. Now the West dressingroom on the Paramount lot, my children, just so happens to be right next to the dressing-room occupied by Marlene Dietrich, and what do you think ? Bless my soul, if Marlene didn't drive up to her dressing-room the other day in a brand-new Cadillac, but with a couple of more cylinders than Mae had, and with an engine that stuck out about three inches more. (Miss Colbert's and Miss Lombard's Fords a few yards away looked mighty tacky, you can be sure.) Well, it was a sight to see those two beautiful cars parked there side by side all during the day; but just the other morning Miss West's "old" car disappeared and in its place was a new car with definitely more cylinders and more streamlines than Miss Dietrich's car. Dear, me, how those girls do go on ! The new screen idol, Nelson Eddy, can be found at his worst at any of those longdrawn-out Hollywood dinner parties where you sit for hours and hours toying with everything from caviar to brandy. Nelson is not a connoiseur of food ; to him food is just something to keep life in the old body ; and he can't go into an ecstacy over a crown of lamb or a sauce Marguery. Johnny Weissmuller and Randy Scott can most assuredly be found at their worst on "date" night at the Trocadero. Johnny is working in a new "Tarzan" picture and Randy is making re-takes on "So Red the Rose" and both boys have hair way down to there — yes, they can almost sit on it, Mable. Well, with a pair of leopard trunks and an old Confederate uniform the long locks look okay, but with modern tuxedos they look kind of terrible. And ah, the Dream Prince of us gals, Shirley Temple is going to have a Xmas Party! Shirley hopes that all children can join her party by having one exactly like hers.

ON SALE NOVEMBER 7TH AT ALL NEWSSTANDS COLD THE FIRST DAY! Drive It Out of Your System! A COLD once rooted is a cold of danger! . Trust to no makeshift method. A cold, being an internal infection, calls for internal treatment. A cold also calls for aCOLD treatment and not a preparation good for a number of other things as well. Grove's Laxative Bromo Quinine is definite treatment for a cold. It is expressly a cold treatment in tablet form. It is internal in effect and it does four important things. Four Effects First, it opens the bowels. Second, it checks the infection in the system. Third, it relieves the headache and fever. Fourth, it tones the system and helps fortify against further attack. Grove's Bromo Quinine is distinguished for this fourfold effect and it is what you want for the prompt relief of a cold. All drug stores sell Grove's Laxative Bromo Quinine. When you ask for it, don't let anyone switch you to something else, for any reason! The cost is small, but the stake is large!
