f Hollywood has always been considered a place of glamour and the chosen people who have had the good fortune of being a part of the motion picture industry since the very beginning made it that way in the first place. And that is as it should be! Unfortunately today, as we look at the silver screen there seems to be a constant digression from this trend. Tragic, for today we do not see the likes of Garbo, Joan Crawford, Marion Davies, Mary Pickford, the Gish Sisters and ever so many more who brought laughter, fun and most of all, glamour, into our very lives. And that brings us to the introduction of one lovely lady who left the center stage of the silver screen to take up another exciting and perhaps more rewarding life. The beautiful lady we are referring to is Ilona Massey during the height of her career in Hollywood. ILONA MASSEY. Today, Ilona lives far from the cinema city. As the wife of retired general, Donald S. Dawson, she is one of the most prominent social figures in Washington. She and her husband make their home in Betheseda, Maryland and Ilona maintains a busy and lively social whirl that actually puts her Hollywood days in the shade. The beautiful Oh no, she hasn’t forgotten those exciting days when she was a part of the light that brought pleasure to so many movie-goers . . . she remembers so very well but she just doesn’t dwell soul of on what happened in the past.

f Vivian Duncan was in town the other day for her appearance at the Nostalgia Gala at the Alexandria Hotel where two hundred movie stars of the silent era were being honored. Of course, Vivian was called upon to sing and entertain. I met with Miss Duncan in the dining room at the Hotel Roosevelt, where, between phone calls, we got a chance to talk. “When did you first get the idea of going into show business?” I asked her. “When I was only five years old,” she began, “my sister and I started by singing duets in church. By ten years of age we were appearing in amateur shows. Our first appearance was on the stage of the North Broadway Theater in Los Angeles.” “What motivated you to start so early?” “We were interested in eating,” she laughed; “you see, we got three dollars every week we won the amateur contest.” “And then?” “In March, 1917, our older sister, Evelyn, took us to try out for Gus Edwards, who was called “The Star Maker,” and had his “Kiddie Revue”

The informality made guests friendlier as they do-si-doed and yelled “howdy.” Maureen Stapleton, totally untheatrical, was disheveled but glowing. She looked more like a suburban housewife who had been bargain hunting in tight shoes than one of our greatest actresses. On the other hand, Jason Robards is like a reincarnation of John Barrymore. Of the “theatah,” with a deep, resonant voice, the 49-year-old star is outspoken and outgoing. He was with his fourth wife, Lois, who looks like a younger version of his third, Lauren Bacall. The other member of the star trio, George Grizzard, was overwhelmed by the party - “Things aren’t like this in New York. Ohmygawd! Look! There’s Jeanne Crain.”

THE ROTHSCHILDS — Hal Linden repeats the role for which he won a u\$^^22896 Ventura Blvd. Tony for Best Actor. Third of four Civic Light Opera musicals. . . current at Woodland Hills the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion. By Teet Carle

f There are some house owners in the extreme northern end of San Fernando Valley who probably are unaware that they are living in a colony originally known as “Tierra de Cuervo.” The twenty acres lie just down the hill to the West of the castle where the screen’s first cowboy star, William S. Hart, lived and died and are within Newhall. The man who built the first homes there in the early Thirties wanted to follow the custom of the Southland in using Spanish names and he wished to call the place “Crowland,” which is what Tierra de Cuervo roughly means. The chap was Charles Mack, boss man of the once super-star comedy team of Moran and Black, the Two Black Crows. I watched the first half dozen of those houses go up when I was publicist on the two feature films in which Moran and Mack starred for Paramount, “Why Bring That Up?” and “Anybody’s War.” It is doubtful if any prints exist in any archives of those comedies and if any nostalgia buffs really care. Forty years ago, I never would have believed that recently I had to shake myself to be sure I wasn’t dreaming that a pair called the Two Black Crows ever dominated a brief part of my career as a press agent. But I do know that, at their peak, they probably had more persons laughing more loudly and lastingly on any given moment of the day than any other funny men in show business history. Amos and Andy, Lum and Abner and similar duos took over for only fifteen minutes of radio’s day. But almost incessantly in any block of any city or farmhouse of any township, a phonograph would be leading to convulsive laughter with an In burnt cork make-up, this is how theatre patrons saw the famous Two Black Crows when unbelievable low lazy voice making Moran and Mack did their famous acts in vaudeville and on Broadway. They also did this prison routine in a Paramount picture titled “Why Bring That Up?” in the Thirties. incredible replies to piping questions from another voice. That record, The Two Black Crows — six minutes of tried-and-true vaudeville material — sold by the millions. Every line seemed to create a guffaw. It brought showers of gold to Moran & Mack Charlie Mack. He was the first instant millionaire I ever knew. If he wasn’t a Croesus, he certainly lived like one. Even now I can remember some of The two the patter, though the last record I had got shattered a few years ago. It opened with the toot of a steamboat and Mack saying he’d like to be aboard “Black Crows" but had no money and Moran asserting Tierro de Cuervo" in Newhall that he’d have money if he went to work. MACK: I would go to work, if I could find any pleasure in it. And away they went. Soon, Mack was telling about the family farm in Ohio. He tried to pronounce it: “Oh-ho . . . Oh-hee-ho.” MORAN: How do you spell it? MACK: Capital O-H-Ten. The farm produced gooper feathers. “They is so soft.” MORAN: Gooper feathers? What are they made from? MACK: The fuzz from peaches. The farm also had horses and Mack said they had found out that the white The famous “Two Black Crows” of 40 years horses ate more than the black horses. ago.

When Moran could not believe, Mack explained, “He said I have vericlose veins.” MORAN: What did the doc tell you to do? MACK: He told me to take ONE pill THREE times a day. But you can’t do that. Finally the two 3-minute sides wound up with some boasting by Moran about some big shows in which he had been the head man. Mack was unimpressed. He deprecated. “Some little old shows I never even heard of.” MORAN: Ha! You ever hear of Adam and Eve? MACK: Yeah! I heard of them, but you wasn’t the head man in that show. Listeners always hoped for more when the record finished. The team sought to give them more. It is

Mack even put out a ghost-written novel, “The Two Black Crows in the A.E.F.” Paramount was to pay him a bundle for the screen rights and made it into the second Two Black Crows movie. That was “Anybody’s War.” A network was elated to get the pair to do a 13-week radio show. They put it together while playing the gigantic Paramount Theatre in New York. Then they railroaded West to star in two pictures for Paramount. I was elated when I was assigned to publicize the movies. There were pluses for me in those pictures. First there was Octavus Roy Cohen. His Florian Slapley “Darktown” stories for the Saturday Evening Post were the most popular “Negro” comedy tales in history. Paramount signed Cohen to write an original for “Why Bring That Up?” I saw him often and did a campaign on him. He was a small, thin man with a crew cut who looked like a teacher.
