SILVER SCREEN October 1932
The October 1932 issue of SILVER SCREEN has Marlene Dietrich on the cover.
On the left are Charles Farrell and Janet Gaynor, and on the right is Thelma Todd.
Thelma Todd got a lot of publicity out of SPEAK EASILY.
Bette Davis was from Massachusetts like Thelma Todd; they also both seem to have been into numerology. A number of movie stars were said to have been involved in the occult.
Left, silent star Douglas Fairbanks in one of his talkies. Right, Joan Bennett and Claudette Colbert early in their careers.
Jimmy Durante was also in the cast of THE PHANTOM PRESIDENT.
The Our Gang kids ride a horse. Another time they built their own fire engine.
On the lower left is an item about Harpo Marx that is related to HORSEFEATHERS.
That's all, folks!

Sheet Music For EVERYONE SAYS I LOVE YOU
This time we look at some sheet music for a song that was in the movie HORSEFEATHERS.
And here we have the Marx Brothers singing it in the movie.

This version has Thelma Todd on the cover.
The Marx Brothers took turns singing the song to her in the movie.
And this version doesn't have Thelma Todd on the cover.
But this is the one I have all the pages for.

HORSEFEATHERS: A Horse With Two Endings Rides Again
A publicity photo from HORSEFEATHERS that I hadn't seen before turned up on ebay recently.
Thelma Todd is on the right with Groucho Marx, while Zeppo is at the center.
This doesn't represent anything that is actually in the finished film. The fire in the background suggests that this might be related to an unused ending in which the Marx Brothers burned the college that the story was set in to the ground.
After the ending of the movie was changed, a pressbook retained a photo which showed that ending has the Marx Brothers playing cards in front of the burning college.

I prefer the ending in the finshed film, where Chico, Groucho, and Harpo all marry Thelma Todd.
This is the end.
