MOVIES AND MOVIE PEOPLE BY MOLLIE HOLLYWOOD, Aurust 21 (N.AN.A). =Heigh-ho! Ronald Colman will sing | o his next picture. The Lonsdale story which was written especially for the English star presents him as a younger son who comes back to Engl ‘d from Africa with matrimonial intent. He courts the wealthiest heiress in the British Isles, and, =zccording to the story, tries a bit of song as & way to her heart. Colman has made several departures #n his stories of late. In fact, since talkies began Colman has been a dif- ferent type from the romantic fellow he was in silent pictures. He is a come- dian de luxe, for one thing, if he is given a decent opportunity for comedy, and whether he sings well or not he| will get away with song charmingly. For if there is no voice in back of the effort, Ronald Colman in some mys- terious fashion will manage to com- municate to the audience the fact that he is quite aware of this and is a bit :‘I;r:x amused by it than they can possi- ‘That is & life-saving quality in pro- fessionals. Molly O'Day is slated for a comeback in talking pictures. This girl, who L.as undoubted histrionic talent, has 1.d ono of the stormiest careers of any Hollywood beauty. There seems a very good chance of her getting the 1 .d in a talking version of “Patent Leather Kid” should that picture be made in a modern way. As a silent pictuye it was one of the out- | standing successes of its season and did much for Richard Barthelmess. Molly O'Day shared honors with the star for her splendid interpretation of the lightweight's girl. Her chief difficulty has lain in the| fact that she has not been able until| recently to ship the scourge of fat which had eclipsed her as a beauty and & movie actress. She has tried the most famous of the tocal diets; suffered in the mud baths| of the desert mearby which are famed for their reducing quality, and when all these things proved puny in ridding her of the excess poundage she had re-| MERRICK. sort to surgery to r.move the bar whih stood between her and fame. I saw her the other day, slenderized down to the correct Fmpomom and really looking lmmnzg pretty. It is an alluring face, with charm behind its beauty. And her performance in the “Patent Leather Kid" proved there is temperament galore in this little Noonan. Lik 80 many movie stars, she will at- tempt her return to the cameras through the local st Hollywood is undergoing a spell of the doldrums.

At the present time Janet Gaynor is most busy den-' « the rumor that she and Lydell Peck ill seek a divorce, That story started as a result of her resuming work at the Fox studio as the Farrell-Gaynor attraction once again. It is impossible for the public to sepa- rate these two artists their minds, and it seems equally impossible for the local public to disassociate them in its consciousness. Virginia Valli, who for some time now has appear.d exclusively with Charlie, Farrell at all public affairs and has been his closest friend in out-of-studio hours, has gone to the East Coast for & BRING AFTER SPENDING 67 HOURS TRYING TO AL,I DONT KNOW WHAT WE'RE GONE TO DO IF We DoN'T AND mr&au«a HO.
