Hollywood's newest bride and groom! May McAvoy and her banker-husband, Maurice Cleary, right after the ceremony and just before they left for a Honolulu honeymoon. Lois Wilson, May's best girl friend, was maid of honor, and all Hollywood packed the church

ALICE WHITE, in a futuristic setting, is a girl followed by two shadows. One is a talkie shadow and the other is silent. First National is surrounding Alice with plenty of singing and dancing in her musical film, "Broadway Babies"

AN ornament to any home―Bessie Love. The boulevards of Hollywood are crowded these days with friends who always knew that Bessie would make good and be one of the great stars. But only two years ago Hollywood was just as crowded with people who thought that Bessie was an awfully clever kid but "not the type" for big-time productions

MYRNA LOY was only a stock player at the Warner Brothers Studio. She played minor menaces and posed in seductive portrait studies. The Warners had so much faith in her ability that, when the Vitaphone came along, they promoted Myrna to leading rôles in some of their most important features

The screen is outdoing the stage in eye-catching spectacles, as witness this Garden of Love scene from "Glorifying the American Girl." It is typical of the new trend in pictures, which is to out-Broadway Broadway

Greta Garbo is smiling just as if she didn't care a bit because―oh, well―you know as well as we do. And if you think we're going to make a crack about the Garbo being all wet, you're wrong. Greta is just training for her next rôle as Captain Christie's seagoing little girl, Anna

No, little fanlets, the pretty lady is not losing her skirt. Nor is she bowlegged. She is Corinne Griffith, just back from Europe, and she likes her skirt that way. Other features of her Paris costume are the tuck-in blouse and slightly cutaway jacket

During a round-up scene for "The Virginian" Director Victor Fleming found it necessary to disguise camera and microphone as clumps of brush to avoid frightening the cattle. In the above picture you see how 'twas done. Heh, heh!―we never knew cows were so naive

This is the house that Van Dine built. Or rather S. S. Van Dine designed it and Paramount built it for the pictuer version of "The Greene Murder Case." It would take a whole flock of X's to mark the spots where the bodies were found, for this is the famous death mansion itself.

One guess is as good as another. The triple-faced gent with his chin on a cloud is really Alan Birmingham, male lead of "Masquerade." Mr. Birmingham is pretending to be the moon and fooling no one. Now see here, Birmingham, we were always brought up to believe there was only one man in the moon. You can't go trying to blast our illusions like that

Fashion notes tell us that pajamas may be worn for informal dinner parties now. But Josephine Dunn, being a woman, turns the tables and wears a dinner gown in the boudoir. Yes, the above elaborate creation is a negligee, and Miss Dunn wears it in "Melody Lane." The gown is made entirely of blue lace and is worn over a slip of nude satin. It is made with long sleeves and a fitted bodice and is trimmed with sable. The skirt of the negligee is made short in the front and has a train in the back'

Clive Brook went back to old Lunnon recently for his first visit since the American cinema claimed him. He returned to find himself a full-fledged star. It's no wonder that both Mr. and Mrs. look happy, for Clive is one of the fortunates who have gone vocal gracefully and profitably

The bad man himself―not a movie. Noah Beery and the Los Angeles County Flood Control Board are leering at one another―but Beery is the better leerer of the two. In fact he bought himself a nice ranch with the money he got for looking disagreeable and now the nasty ole board wants to dig a ditch across his property. Noah's battle cry is "They shall not dig," and he means it

Who is the funny man, Mamma? The funny man is Charles Mack, dear―the bigger and blacker of the two brunet crows―and Paramount is paying him umpty-ump dollars a week for being that way. The other funny thing is a piano and it belongs in the new house in Beverly Hills built by the funny man with the umpty-ump dollars

Strongheart, splendid actor and game trouper, is dead. He was the first dog actor of the screen, and will be remembered affectionately by many beside his owner and friend, Jane Murfin. Strongheart made good in his very first picture, "The Silent Call," and thereafter was one of the most popular stars on the screen. He is survived by his mate and co-star, the lovely Lady Julie, and by his son and heir, Strongheart II

How do you like your alphabet―blonde or brunette? The living signboard is the very latest thing in Los Angeles advertising methods. It is the ne plus ultra, the vox populi―in short, the nuts. It looks to us as if the gal sitting in the nice comfortable V is getting all the breaks

All the retakes in Hollywood are not confined to the studio lots. For example, the one above, which shows Edwin Carewe, the director, and his pretty ex-wife and re-wife, Mary Aiken Carewe. What we want to know is: does wife the second get jealous of wife the first?

Ann Pennington may have felt that too much attention has been centered on her pedal extremities. At any rate she went and bobbed her hair the other day. But judging by the direction of Archie Mayo's gaze it will be a long time before anyone notices the new bob!
