SUNDAY NEWS, NOVEMBER 22, 1931 Who 's Best? Why, Edna! Just Ask Metro BEL MUIR By FLORA TTOLLYWOOD, (. OLLYVVOOD, Nov. II from London that Edna MEET MR. "Hey, Adele, a NAGEL, IN PERSON Little Service at This Table, Please." movies a few months ago. is coming back to work for Metro- Goldwyn-Mayer.

Eventually Miss Bailey will be ready to leave her Erooklyn home for Hollywood, a full-fledged actress. Her first picture part will be in Eddie Cantor's "The Kid From Spain." Meanwhile she's doing some ness hours aren't so strict.

Elissa Landi, Fox star, is back in town after a vacation in England. She is accompanied by her mother. Countess Zanardi Landi, who will remain at the coast while her daughter does cinema duty. On the same boat with Elissa was Estelle Brody, American actress of British pictures, who is back for another try in Hollywood. Estelle was our fellow passenger last July on the Homeric.

At that time she wasn't sure that she ever wanted to see Hollywood again. But here she is! Gene Dennis, the psychic girl, ia back at the Beacon, by popular demand. She answers all questions and usually you'll find she' right. A pigtail stood between Sidney Fox and a two year Broadway run. When Brock Pemberton was interviewing gals for the feminine lead in the stage version of Preston Sturges' "Strictly Dishonorable," a little brunette with a long pigtail down her back came to se him.

She rated a reading, but Mr. Pemberton decided next day that she was too young and too inexperienced to play the part. So she became bobbed and got her stage opportunity in "Lost Sheep." Then the unexpected happened. Carl Laemmle saw Sidney and signed her to a Universal contract. What's more, Carl Laemmle bought tha screen rights to "Strictly Dishonorable." Moreover, Junior thought Sidney'd be just the type for th leading woman's role opposite Paul Lukas in this picture.

So Sidney got the part. And you're seeing her in it now, at tha Criterion where the movie is doing right nicely in a two-a-day run. V. il f. at lit 1H 18 Solid White Gold 100 Perfect Diamond NO MONEY DOWN I WHAT AN exquisite Dla tn nnH R5n vet an inA-v- on delivery.

You take no ris. 21. Word reaches Hollywood Best, who did a runout on the Edna grew lonesome for husband, Herbert Marshall, who was appearing in a New York play at the time. Without saying a word to any one, she upped and got on the train and startled Hollywood out of its smug calm by announcing she didn't give a whoop whether she became a movie star or not. iron a great burst of publicity for Edna one that she might never have got otherwise.

But the sequel indicates thai, our movie lords like nothing better than being kicked in the pants. They've hired her back practically on her own terms. I'm unable to state the reason but Mr. Marshall Is coming to work for Paramount at the same time dna Herbert Beit Marshall She' back, at her own term; he' got a job too. Edna is laboring in the vineyard of Metro.

No special vehicle has been selected for her. "Crand Hotel" Trouble. Eddie Goulding is having some difficulty casting "Grand Hotel." He can't find a Kringelein. It seems Sam Jaffe, who does such an excellent job in the stage play, has received a motion picture test and isn't the type. Just now the leading candidate for the job appears to be George Stone, who made a hit in "Cimarron." John Ilalliday; Arkayo actor, whom maybe you saw in "Consolation Marriage," used to be a hard rock miner and assures me that on three different occasions he's wrested large fortunes from the ground.

Every time he went broke pyramiding. One night ii Sacramento he happened to run into Nat Good-in. who was playing the tank circuit at the time. Ihey Rrew chummy and Nat said to John, "You ought to quit this mining gamble and be an actor. You can do it.

you know." Forthwith Ilalliday decided Goodwin was right and he's been trouping ever since. Douglas Mac Lean got into the acting business because Maude Adams told him practically the same thing that Goodwin told Hal-liday. Douglas was a bond salesman in Chicago. A Real Movie Prince. Ivan Lebedeff is no boxing fan but he watches the papers pretty closely whenever Jack Sharkey fights.

Reason is that Ivan's family formerly owned a vast tract of territory in Lithuania and Ivan himself is entitled to call himself prince of the blood royal of that former Russian province. Victor Schertzinger claims to have written the first motion picture theme song long before the talkies were ever heard of. ic was an orchestra conductor in a Los Angeles cafe and got a commission to write music to go with the picture "Civilization." Right after that Vic got to be a director and has been one ever since. His "Marcheta" has sold four million copies. TODAYS Radio Features 8:15 P.

WELCOME to Conrad Nagel who is taking time out from his movie duties to do a personal appearance act. He's in Jersey right now and will be in New York next week. If you think Nagel isn't so popular, any more in these days of Gable, Lukas and Ayres, don't worry on his account.

This nice voung man's fan mail still mounts to tremendous proportions. There are movie clubs in his name, all around the country. He's known as a reg'lar feller in Hollywood and has never been reported as about to be divorced No scandals whatsoever. Doesn't drink. Has a fine tenor voice.

Was on the stage for several years before he broke into pictures, you know. So he's right at home be fore the footlights. Joan Marsh Assists. Remember him opposite Alice (Mourning Becomes Electra) Brady in "Forever After." If you saw it, you simply can't forget it. We weren't very old at the time a special pleasure treat permitted us to see this charming play.

And it is fresher in our mind rirht now than Colleen Moore's talkie version of the play which was made just a couple of years ago. Incidentally, assisting Conrad in his act is little Joan Marsh, a pretty blond who has been featured in Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer pictures. At first, Anita Page was scheduled to go on tour, but Anita Sidney Fox bobbed and got the part. was needed for a picture role. So Joan got the job.

Adele Bailey, the blond eighteen-year-old Childs waitress in the restaurant Tiext door to the Paramount Theatre, isn't keeping regular working hours nowadays. Adele, you'll perhaps recall, is the gal selected by Eddie Cantor for a screen test. She's a decorative young woman and Eddie thought her possibilities extended beyond the nature of a showgirl's work. Training Adele. So Adele is being trained.

She is enrolled with Jans Manner, dramatic coach for training in speaking lines, and with Mme. AJ- 5-ALWAYS HAVE UnUeky ia Mom? Canct. Lot or BaiiMsi? Yoa laattU carry a pair af fraai.t MYSTIC BR AH. MA RED IIVE HIGHLY MAGNETIC LODE STONES. Kara, Aaaiiaf.
