...looked as well back-wards as it did forwards. She finally decided that it was she whom they were looking for and hobbled in to the back seat. She interrupted the campaign fight talk by saying.

Hollywood's tumbrils began rumbling five years ago, when an MGM story reader reported that Stefan Zweig's Marie Antoinette was "thoroughly modern, thoroughly plausible and slightly censorable."

Thalberg; to meritorious others, other Oscars, plaques, scrolls. In other years winners were chosen by vote of the Academy members (less than 1,000). This year the chief ones were elected in a poll of 15,000 actors, directors, writers, other eligible Hollywood craftsmen...
...Flowers but there have been no cinemarriages at the Wee Kirk. The latter, however, has an impressive record of interment ceremonies. It was the scene of services for Will Rogers and Marie Dressier. Prior to last week, last big film funeral at Forest Lawn was that of Irving Thalberg, whose remains were taken from B'nai B'rith Synagog for interment in a $25,000 room in the Mausoleum. Jack and Lottie Pickford are in a family room in the Mausoleum, Flo Ziegfeld and Marie Dressier in crypts. Other famed Forest Lawn dead: Lon Chaney, Wallace Reid, Rudolph...
