“ CLOSE UPS.” PICTURE CHAT. RESPLENDENT in the uniform of one of the King’s oulcers, Robert Warwick recently made his initia' appearance before the camera m t talking picture called “ The Queen s Husband," which Lowell Sherman is directing for K.K.O. According to Sherman, the matinee idol of the stage will prove an agreeable surprise to his ardent footiight admirers. JgERT WHEELER, miniature R.K.O. star, has returned from his vacation in New York to the studio coast, and at once plunged into rehearsals upon “ Hook, Line, and Sinker,” in which vehicie he will be co-starred with Robert Woolsey. JJEW YORK’S recent raid on Hollywood talent for the stage is apparently being supplemented by a barrage from dear old London. Mary Eaton, the beauteous star of many Broadway, sensations, has been signed to join the new Paul Murray show in the British caplital, and will leave next week for the east, sailing after a ten days’ stay in New York. Miss EatonJ who, in private life, is the wife of Millard Webb, a famous moving picture director, started her spectacular stage career as a child, and soon became prominent in Ziegfeld’s “ Pollies,” and the youngest premiere danseuse that producer ever featured. Then she co-starred with Eddie Cantor in “ Kid Boots,” and was later starred by Charles B. Dillingham in “ Lucky.” After an engagement with “ The Five O’clock Girl,” she played the lead in “ Coeoanuts,” with the four Marx brothers. Since her marriage to Webb, a year ago, she has | enjoyed a southern California vacation, and expresses herself as extremely elated over her forthcoming London engagement. “ New worlds to conquer, you know ! ” is her enthusiastic comment. Hollywood a woman is as old -is she looks. The most famous beauty specialist told this story the other day. A once-beautiful, still popular, but rather time-worn star came to him to see about getting her face lifted. “ For five thousand dollars,” he told her, “ I’ll make you look not a day over thirty; for ten thousand dollars I’ll make you look not a day over twenty; and for fifteen thousand dollars you can look sixteen.” She chose the last operation, which was very successful; but no response came to his bi 1. Later, meeting her on the street with her latest leading man, a boy of tender 1 years, the doctor beckoned her aside and threatened suit. “Go ahead 1 ” said the rejuvenated star, serenely. “ I’m under age, so you can’t collect ! ” \ L JOLSON, who recently joined United Artists, is making “ Sens o’ Guns,” the screen version of the musical comedy hit, as his first talkie for them. That attractive little German lady, Li’i Damita, who played the leading feminine role for some time on Broadway,-is taking the same part in the film. THEATRE in Minneapolis gave Clara Bow second place to little Mitzie Green when “ I.ove Among the Millionaires ” played there. Too much unfavourab'e newspaper notoriety was the cause. 'JTHERE is a rumour that Gloria Swanson may sign with Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer in the near future. \fy T HEN Chester Morris, the noted screen actor, received a telephone message at the United Artists studio a few days ago he dashed off the lot like a madman, without offering any explanation to a crowd of bewildered onlookers. Four hours later he returned to the studio, laden with boxes of cigars and candy. “ It’s a girl 1” j he proudly announced. “ We’re going to name her Cynthia.” Morris’ wife is the former Sue Kilborn, of the stage and screen. They also have a young son, Brooks. Morris, a New York stage star who sprang to overnight screen fame in Roland West's production, “ Alibi,” and has since added to his laurels with oustanding performances in “ The Big House,” “ The Divorcee,” and ether pictures, recently completed the featured role in West’s production, “ The Bat Whispers,” a mystery comedy-drama. 'J'HE male contingent of filmdomV “ smart set ” demonstrated its smartness by giving Hoot Gibson a linen shower shortly before his marriage to charming Sally Eilers. Prenuptial showers have heretofore been strictly for the fair sex, but Hollywood decided to be difi'ei-ent. Ben Lyon was the author of the idea. He, like many other Hollywood swains, became somewhat weary of calling for Bebe Danie s at various parties given Bebe previous to their marriage, so he decided to give a lingerie shower for Hoot, graciously inviting the girls to call for their boy friends after the affair. The party was a great success. J)IMITRI TIOMKIN, the celebrated Russian composer, now assisting with the recording of his own musical score for Edwin Carewe’s “ Resurrection,” at Universal, has been approached by one of the greatest American impressarios in regard to a contemplated concert tour of the United States, upon the completion of the Tolstoi picture. Something in the nature of an experiment, the composer would carry a tremendous company of musicians and dancers, the entire production to be built around himself and his compositions. TOHN BOLES, that likeable chap " with the soul-stirring voice, states that he is enjoying the work on “ Resurrection ” more than any production heretofore. He believes the music is. the most inspiring work yet conceived for sound pictures. . Dimitri Tiomkip, the noted' modernist composer, is responsible, having created the entire score for “ Resurrection."
