Screenland (Nov 1935-Apr 1936)

for February 1936 81 Ask Me! By Miss Vee Dee Margaret J. Just to refresh your memory on birthdays of your favorite stars, here are a few. Norma Shearer was born August 10, 1904, in Montreal, Canada. She married Irving Thalberg on October 6, 1927. Their son, Irving, Jr., was born August 24, 1930 ; and now they have a baby daughter, born in June. Katharine Hepburn celebrates her birthday on May 12. Born in 1908. She is 5 feet 5 inches tall, weighs 105 pounds and has auburn hair and green eyes. Leta F. Of course I will settle your argument about the cast in "Seed" starring John Boles. It was released in 1931. Lois Wilson was John's wife, Peggy Carter, and Genevieve Tobin was Mildred, John's former sweetheart. No, John did not have a singing part but turned in a grand performance in a difficult role. Richard Cromwell played with Marie Dressier in "Emma." Conchita Montenegro as Carmencita and Nora Lane as Sally Benton were the women in Warner Baxter's life in "The Cisco Kid." Douglas Fairbanks, Jr., played opposite Joan Crawford in "Our Modern Maidens." Davey Lee and Betty Bronson played with Al Jolson in both "Sonny Boy" and "The Singing Fool." In "The Jazz Singer" May McAvoy was Al's leading ladv. Now Al is about to make "The Singing Kid." Jitlianne A. Look out for Frankie Darro in one of his new pictures, "Three Kids and a Queen." He is also scheduled to play in a series of Peter B. Kyne stories, the first to be "Born to Fight." Frankie did not appear in "Laddie" but 13-year-old Jimmy Butler was Leon Stanton in the film. Frankie played in "The Payoff" and in "The Unwelcome Stranger." He was born in Chicago, 111., on December 22, 1917. He has brown hair and eyes and his real name is Frank Johnson. He is an only child. Virginia. The man you so much admired in "Hell in the Heavens" was Arno Frey, who played Baron Kurt Von Hagen. Warner Baxter was "the big shot" and with Russell Hardie, Ralph Morgan, Andy Devine and Herbert Mundin, made up the excellent cast. Sorry I haven't any information on Arno Frey. If he appears in any other film, I may get a line on him. Jean T. Jackie Cooper is the tops in his latest release, "O'Shaughnessy's Boy" with his old pal Wallace Beery. Little Spanky MacFarland, rapidly demanding attention in feature pictures, plays Jackie as a child. Jackie was born September IS, 1923. He has blond hair and hazel eyes but is growing so fast I can't keep up with his measurements. Mary Pickford was "America's Sweetheart" for a dozen years and now up pops a new Sweetheart, little Shirley Temple, who will star in one of Mary's former pictures, "Poor Little Rich Girl," a 1917 release. /. K. Your new thrill, Henry Wadsworth, came from the stage and radio. The screen snatches from the ether and the stage the handsomest heroes ; to wit and to woo for example : Fred MacMurray, Nelson Eddy, Robert Taylor, Michael Bartlett and Henry Wadsworth. Henry was born in Maysville, Kentucky. He is 5 feet 9 inches tall, weighs 145 pounds and has blue eyes and brown hair. He has a prominent role in "The Big Broadcast of 1936." His next will be "Ceiling Zero" with James Cagney and Pat O'Brien.
