[Photoplay, January 1928, page 6] Samuel Goldwyn borrows Virginia Bradford from Cecil B. De Mille. She will play in “Leatherface,” supporting Vilma Banky and Ronald Colman.
[Photoplay, April 1928, page 44] Now comes wind of another romance. Myrna Kennedy, Charlie Chaplin’s new leading lady, and James Hall are going around Hollywood’s “places to go” together. Oh, Yes, also Virginia Bradford and Frank Marion, who are rising to fame together on the De Mille lot in Culver City. Interesting, how these youngsters hang together. |
