Kinema Guide Week Commencing Dec. 15th.
THIRTEEN IS HER LUCKY NUMBER AND FRIDAY HER LUCKY DAY!
KAY ^FRANCIS, who plays opposite Billie Dove, in "A NOTORIOUS AFFAIR," which is to be seen in many kinemas this week, defies superstition by claiming that thirteen is her lucky number. Moreover, she asserts that she finds it all the more lucky if it falls on a Friday.
And she proves it by announcing that she was born on a Friday, January 13th. Furthermore, it was the thirteenth month of her mother's marriage.
Kay, altogether, has been to thirteen schools and classes (a record in itself, one imagines) and it was on the thirteenth of July that she got her first job on the stage, and she applied for her first job in the sac-vies on the thirteenth of the month, and got it!
She always looks forward to a Friday that falls on the thirteenth, declaring that on such a day she always has a good time, and, when ker guests will allow her, she prefers to have thirteen people sitting at her table when she is giving a dinner party.
In "A Notorious Affair" Kay Francis takes the role of the "other woman." It is she who entices Basil Bathbone from his happy< home and Billie Dove!
THE TALE OF AN EGG!
THIS is the story of an egg, or rather two eggs. It is also the story of Dorothy Maekaill, starring in ''The Flirting Widow" and "Man Trouble."
During the making of a recent picture, Dorothy had to appear in a cabin scene, and she had to be carrying a basket of eggs.
Now as everybody knows, Dorothy has a sense of humour, and it occurred to her that it would be a fine joke to have an egg blown and throw the empty shell at Edmund Burns, who played in the heavy role in the picture. After an obliging property man had blown the egg for her. and placed it back on the top of the basket, Dorothy blithely tripped into the cabin, reached for the egg shell, and threw, hard!
The egg went true to its mark, striking Burns full in the waisteoat, then, to her horror she observed it break with great damage. Dorothy had picked up the wrong egg! 28
