Bill Barry is the circulation manager the Harpoon Publishing Company, hich will issue a new brand of J. J. J. he book is slated to reach the readers pril 1. Now boys, watch your step, the trusty pen of the editor, Joe Farnim, may dip in for red ink. * * * Bert Ennis is making a twenty-onely trip around the world in the interits of Petrova Pictures. He took two Dcket edition typewriters and two bales ,: paper along. First stop Paris ( — ) ; :cond Athens ( — ); third stop will be ome ( — ), and from there he expects > make Birmingham (Ala.) with some ops in the U. S. Nelly Bly had nothg on this "By." * * * Haven't heard a thing of the Baron;s since she went to Ithaca and started >ying in ''The Eagle's Eye." Sic sem>r tyranus. * * * Doesn't seem possible, but neverthe•ss it's a fact, there are some fans, or ags,.who buy tickets to some of the ,iovie theatres and sit right through iree runs of the show, and this since le weather became sane. Reminds one f the six-day bicycle race. Some of m are alive today. * * * Ed Morrison has resigned from the herry Pictures Company and is about 3 step away with the army. Ed will ave the well wishes of a host of friends nd all regular Americans. v * * * ' The trade still echoes with praises and 'iughs for that master of the toast, G. V. Landon, who made such a wonderful :it at the Edward Earl dinner. Still it's |ot to be wondered at since G. W. has ved through more dinners than most eople. and as pastmaster of "Toasters" at the Pleiades Club, he has cultivated the art to the point of perfection. * * * The Pleiades Club will hold its annual banquet at the Hotel Biltmore on Sunday, April 28, to which club Edward Earl of the Nicholas Power Company, and Pat Powers of the Universal Film Manufacturing Company, have just been elected to membership. * * * Everyone about the trade and some outside it are sneezing and blowing at regular intervals. The air is full of "La Grippus Coci." Get that? Which makes us wonder how it is that a pretty girl can handle a cold in the head with a hankerchief the size of a postage stamp, and a man is in bad all the time when he has one the size of a table cloth. Oh, well, it's an ill wind that doesn't blowsome good to someone, some time, somehow. * * * Well, well, here we are again, Petrova in "The Life Mask" or "Who killed Woodruffe Clay'' followed by a most delectable luncheon at Shanleys. Some how or other I always did like Petrova, and ever since she has shown that she possesses the art of reaching a man's soul via the stomach, even irrepressibles like Pete Milne, Fritz Tidden, Walter Hill, Randall White, et al., admit that while the Mme. is a great artist, she is the most practical of all. Best of it is Petrova's luncheons are becoming a regular thing. Time two hours. Daniel Henderson presiding. No cut outs. * * * In former times the month of March was largely devoted to the quaffing of "Bock" and the city was decorated with many signs bearing pictures of the goat. Now we rely on, Haig, Haig and more Haig to save us from bondage, and this Haig was never bottled in Bonn-d. In time of war prepare for peas, onions, potatoes, and make that little old back-yard of yours produce something besides a crop of dirty linen. Clothes poles never sprout. * * * Sunday night April 1 Empey went "Over the Top" at the Lyric Theatre. * * * Oh boys, the Gaumont Company is going to run a beauty contest. Five of the most perfect faces and figures from each state in the union are to be selected, and P. M. Bryan is to be the sole judge. If he wants to coordinate his department and get the best assistant in the world he can count me in. P. M. has turned down a raft of trade paper applicants who desire to help out. * * * Margaret Mayo wrote "Twin Beds," and "Baby Mine." Roy McCardell says it can't be done. This is an echo from the Twilight Club. For subtleness, Roy was ever there. * * * Bessie Love must like me better than she used to. She has just sent me a seventy-nine dollar telegram from Hollywood telling me a lot of inside stuff and I'm not going to divulge it to you guys. * * * Al Cornier has been sick for the past week and we could readily see that something was the matter when we saw the last one. Hurry up, Al, and get back on the job. Emerson Undergoes Delicate Operation John Emerson, the well known director associated with the Famous PlayersLasky Corporation, was operated upon last Thursday at the Post Graduate Hospital, New York City, for splenic anaemia, the entire spleen having been removed. The operation, which is an unusual and delicate one, was performed with success by Dr. John Erdmann. Mr. Emerson is assured a rapid and complete recovery.
