SOCIAL FRICASEE AND CAPER SAUCE By Mildred Davit Dugout Notes — The Dugout girls are elated over the success of their Christmas campaign for the poor kiddies of Los Angeles. Through their efforts three hundred children were supplied with Christmas stocliings, filled with fruits and candies. At least one hundred good garments were given away, and added to these were the flannel garments which the Dugout girls made. Saturday night another dance was given, the proceeds of which will go to the charity fund. Mrs. Woodward now has a charter -and is working In conjunction with the city charitable organizations. She plans to continue this work indefinitely, even after the holidays, and all the Dugout girls are cooperating with enthusiasm. Home Dinner — Miss Polly Moran spent Christmas day at home, and enjoyed a quiet home dinner with her family. Returns Home — Mrs. MacDonald, the mother of Katherine MacDonald and Mary MacLaren, returned Tuesday evening from a six weeks' trip East. Big Barbecue — Last week Tex Marcelle furnished a pleasant day's entertainment for his friends with a large barbecue at Grifllth park. Among those who gathered to consume the juicy meat were Edwin Carew, with his wife, baby and daughter Violet; Mr. and Mrs. Wallace Fox, Mr. and Mrs. Jack Shulze, Mr. and Mrs. Bbo Curley, Mr. and Mrs. E. B. Collins, Mr. and Mrs. Bobby Burns, Miss Peggy O'Dare, Miss Conway, B. Jakouskl, Hary Franklin and party, Ernest Smith, Clarke Bond, Mr. and Mrs. Allen Sears and Hector Sarno. Southern Hospitality — So often we hear of it and so seldom we see it. But right here we make note of a delightful display of it made recently by one Master Harry Lee Ward, alias Memphis, when late visitors, who called at Universal City in search of certain information, were received by said "Memphis." Opat Observes — Recently Camera! mentioned one L D. Opat in respect to his unique preparations for entering the motion picture game. You will remember that he staged several scenes including bits from Shakespeare and straight and character studies. Of these scenes he had a nine-hundred feet test made. Since making this test Opat has gone deliberately about his plans, no rush or grasping for work, but with a definite idea. He is showing his film to various actors, producers and directors, not with the intention of applying for a job, but to get their opinions in regard to the possibilities of successful production from Opat's point of view — that of an artist, dreamer and student. He has met with great encouragement, so that probably we will hear of more direct action from him In the near future. Nick Gogley, veteran character actor who played with the original "Uncle Tom's Cabin" company, has signed a contract with Goldwyn. Doris Pawn is supporting Will Rogers in ,,'The Strange Boarder." Johnny Jones, aged 12, plays the title role in the Goldwya "Edgar" series. Jack Richarson is busy these days. He was just finishing a full dress with Bessie Barriscale, when he was rushed in aq automobile to Ben Hastls to play a bad man. At the close of that, he found another machine waiting to whisk h\m to Vitagraph to play a lead with William Duncan. Gene Page arrived from New York Christmas ..evening. He is to be costarred at Vitagraph with Joe Ryan in the new serial. "The Black Soviet." Noel Smith, having finished a Big V comeiy with Jimmle Aubrey and Babe Harfly, is all r6ady to start the next one. William E. Wing has been en^ged to write this serial.
