Can You Find the Two (Significant) Mistakes?

 Each of the written sections in this article from 1938 has an error regarding our Mr. Montgomery.  Can you find them?  I've added a comment to the post with the answers.  

  

And Bob Came as Himself? Let's See...A Tux and a Smile...Why, it's Robert Montgomery!

 "One of the most colorful Hollywood parties was given recently by Donald Ogden Stewart, M.G.M. writer, and Mrs. Stewart.  Here is shown Robert Montgomery as himself; Mrs. Montgomery as Joan Crawford; Director Elliot Nugent as Tom Mix; and Mrs. Nugent as Lilyan Tashman."  

Review: "He gives a swell performance." Not exactly Pauline Kael...

 A look at the October, 1936 issue of Movie Mirror ... Let's see, a one-page feature on Piccadilly Jim (1935) and a friendly review.  Nice photo of Bette Davis on the cover.  

The print on the article is much too small to read, so:  "Robert Montgomery and Madge Evans are so happy to be together again in "Piccadilly Jim."  It's a real mutual admiration society, for Bob is Madge's leading man and Madge is Bob's choice among leading ladies.  Right now, Bob's all excited about his big chance in his next picture, "Night Must Fall," which will be entirely different from anything he's done before---and, if it can be arranged, Madge will be in that film with him, too.!"

Actually, Bob's next movie will be The Last of Mrs. Cheyney (1937) and, no, Madge would not have worked out in Roz Russell's role as Olivia in Night Must Fall.  The casting is perfect as is.  

As for non-Bob coverage in the magazine, I rather like this photo of Joan Blondell and Dick Powell.  A cute couple.  

And the back cover ... Cigarette companies certainly advertised a lot in the 1930s.  This is a good example of their expertise at selling products.    

Happy Easter!

Non-Bob Eye Candy

 A few photos that have caught my eye, and I have enjoyed.  None to do anything with Mr. Montgomery, but still interesting.  

Pleasant-looking Ms. Chadwick in a park-like setting with a wistful look, perhaps because she is all decked out for a ride and has no horse.

Times do change.  It's not really the beach apparel alone, but the position of the bodies, a T-intersection rather than parallel lines.  

        Claudette Colbert & John Payne in Remember the Day (1941)

This last photograph is quite stunning in a larger scale, all the black surrounds with the white piano.  Still nifty, all the same.  

                             Well, I know it is Ginger Rogers!

30 years together. They had a good run.

Okay, so I have no information about this photo.  I'll guess Buffy and Bob are in their mid-60's.  Bob is wearing a tux so they're "out-on-the-town," maybe a nice dinner and a Broadway play.  Buffy with a pleasant smile, as always.  Wonder what's caught Bob's attention.  And why the floppy bowtie, Mr. Montgomery?  Really.  Otherwise, a good-looking couple who apparently enjoyed each other's company.  Good for them.  

Why is Reggie on the Couch with Flowers?

 A still from the movie Bachelor Father (1931). Let's see, that's Ralph Forbes on the far left, Marion Davies sharing the center of the photo with C. Aubrey Smith, and the young man sitting on the couch is .....

Egads, it's Ray Milland!

Yes, indeed, a twenty-four-year-old Ray.  I'm not sure why he has a bouquet of daisies.

A Mere 71 Years Ago Today

"April 3, 1954-WASHINGTON DC:  Presidential aid and TV producer Robert Montgomery crowns Frances Mae Fisher Queen of the National Capital's 30th annual Cherry Blossom Festival here today.  Miss Fisher was chosen at the Festival Ball on April 2nd."
