?^0H &l£&YW*EH5 \ti PWtyEI*l>OM Octavia Handworth, leading woman of Pathe Freres, has just recovered from an attack of diphtheria. Zena Keefe, of the Yitagraph, left on April 2fith for a brief vacation in Europe. Shannon Fife, an able Lubin director, is the author of the photoplay "Brightened Sunsets," the story of which appears in this issue. Eleanor Blanchard, the versatile character woman of the Essanay Company, has resigned on account of ill health. Ray Gallagher arrived in San Francisco last month, having left the Melies Company in Japan. And while we are on the subject, Fred Mace has left Keystone Company to organize a company of his own. Now we have Helen Gardner, Gene Gauntier, Florence Turner and Fred Mace, each paddling his or her own canoe. Bon voi/apc! Kalem players are great on machines. Carlyle Blackwell has an auto, and Ruth Roland and Alice Joyce have sewing-machines. They are saying that Henry Walthall makes the best leading man for Blanche Sweet that the Biograph Company has had for some time. Question: Is Anna Little, of the Kay-Bees, an Indian born? Answer: No, but her understanding of make-up and her expressive features are remarkably realistic. Miss Mary Fuller cant play away from "Mary" parts. She is now engaged in an elaborate production in which she plays Mary, Queen of Scots. Harry Handworth, of the Pathe Freres, has earned a rest, and he will be missed when he takes his vacation trip to Colorado in May. The Lubin baseball team, under the direction of Benny of Lubinville, is in the market for games and victories. Same with Pathe's, only it has no Benny. Romaine Fielding is a Corsican, and so was Napoleon. The latter may have been a better emperor, but he was not in the same class with Romaine as a sheriff in the land of the cactus. The Yitagraph Company are viewing with alarm the recent activities of John Bunny. He has joined an athletic class, and is working hard to reduce his ponderous weight. He is up at sparrow-crack every morning, and can be seen at six o'clock doing a Marathon on Ocean Parkway, paced by his trainer. Carlyle Blackwell is the proud possessor of a bull-terrier sent him by express by one of his Eastern admirers. The dog is a great favorite at Glendale, and Mr. Blackwell calls him "Kalem." The Melies Company have recently left Java, where they produced some elaborate two-reel pictures with native actors. They have just arrived in Japan for a long sojourn. As the Japanese are excellent and experienced actors, we may hope to see some beautiful pictures taken under the personal direction of Gaston Melies. The smoke-room at the Yitagraph plant has become quite an. institution. Four mpnkeys have their quarters there at present, and as they get loose every now and then, they make life there quite interesting at times, especially when they get hold of a pinochle deck. Maurice Costello has more children— at least Mr. and Mrs. Jos. S. Whitsett, of Ardmore, Okla., have named one of theirs after him, and others are doing it. It is the fashion now to name children after photoplay ers rather than after presidents. Gwendoline Pates has reason to be proud of her work in "An Exciting Honeymoon," and ditto can be said of Charles Arling. 166
