Dorothy Appleby In The Fan Magazines

Some Dorothy Appleby items from the fan magazines.

Here is one that says Dorothy Appleby is going to Pathe's acting school. This is similar to Paramount's selection of Thelma Todd and others for their acting school.

But Dorothy Appleby had already made movies prior to this. There is also a story that Thelma Todd had been in a couple of movies before she was at Paramount. 

This one is about Dorothy Appleby being cast in a movie that she doesn't seem to have ever made. 

Paul Bern was also involved in this project, but left Pathe shortly afterwards. He later went to MGM, where he married Jean Harlow.
