June Clyde Says — From a divan in her "HOLLYWOOD dressing room at the is THE Twickenham Studios DULLEST PLACE where she is playing on earthi” in "She Shall Have Music," June Clyde proceeded to give a recent interviewer what she called “the truth about Hollywood." "Far from being a city of glamour and endless entertainments," she said, "Hollywood is the dullest place on earth!’’ After this sweeping statement the pretty blonde star proceeded to describe how greatly exaggerated were the stories about Hollywood. Describing a day in the life of an average star, June said that after working all day they had an early dinner and then, three nights out of seven, went to a movie! As she remarked, "How can you go gay every night when you have to be on the set at 8.30 in the morning?" Contrary to reports, nobody who matters in Hollywood drinks very much. Anyone having drinks in the middle of the day is regarded as a continued drunkard! Marion Davies. Hollywood has the wins HEARTS reputation of being of all a " fair weather ” hollyivood. town, being where a man's friends are legion as long as he is on the top of the film heap. Nevertheless, there are real friendships in the film capital I that have run the gamut of human | emotions, surviving joys and sorrows, I good fortune and bad. A few stars could retire to-day without losing a single friend. No one person in Ho!- | lvwood has a wider circle of friends ! than Marion Davies, star of "Page Mis 3 Glory,” the cosmopolitan production. Miss Davies lists as a friend not only virtually every star and executive in cinemaland. but she is held in genuine affection by scores of featured, minor, bit and extra players as well as technicians, electricians, ! handymen and other studio employees, i Hundreds of others, especially the parents of children who have been treated at the clinic Miss Davies personally operates and maintains, consider her more than a friend, So. too. do the thousands who have received the benefits of tier many other charitable. enterprises. In "Pago Miss Glory," Miss Davies has a rollickingcomedy role. She is supported by an exceptionally talented cast, which includes Pat O'Brien. Dick Powell. Mary Astor, Frank McHugh, Lyle Talbot, Patsy Kelly, Barton Mac Lane, Allen Jenkins, Hobart Cavanaugh and a score of others. Colour in Motion Pictures. With the advent of ITB effect colour in motion picon stars. tures, many of Hollywood’s stars are experiencing anxious moments whilst they await the outcome of tests on their features and complexions. The situation was brought about when it was whispered that Walter Wanger had tested several actors and actresses for Paramount's "The Trail of the Lonesome Pine" before he found those whose complexions would "stand" colour photography, and that some Actors lost roles in the- picture because their features, no matter how good to the eye, would not photograph in colour to good advantage. And colour photography apparently will be in general use in Hollywood before very many months have passed. Screen make-up is used because photographic retouchers cannot work on the thousands of tiny frames that constitute motion picture scenes. Thus the make-up substitutes for the retouchers and eliminates any possible flaws which the camera—which is notoriously brutal to beauty—would emphasise. However, make-up such m has been used in the past cannot be used in colour photography. In the tests it was found fhat Sylvia Sid npy, who is starred in the film, had an ideal complexion for colour photography, as did Fred Mao Murray, Henry Fonda, Nigel Bruce and Fred Stone, her fellow-players. The beauty of the outdoor scenes of Paramount's "The Trail of the Lone«omo Pine." will remain a joy forever to all theatregoers. The picture was filmed in the Big Bear Mountains of California, and the addition of magnificent colour has truly captured all the beauty of the ranges, the rivers, the valleys, the pines and accentuated the beauty of Miss Sylvia Sidney, the star of the picture. Julie Haydon in New Role. Julie Haydon will play in her Ilrst motion picture role since her phenomenal success in "The Scoundrel" with Noel Coward in Paramount's "Too Many Parents." In addition, Frances Farmer, recently placed under con tract by Paramount, will have an im portant part in this picture. Samuel S. Hinds. Porter Hall and Colin Tap ley are also in the cast, which includes David Holt. Riliv Lee and a number of Paramount starlets.
