Occupation . -Advertising Section Plays and Players (Continued) MONTE BLUE is mighty popular. Everybody likes him. He is working with Griffith now, in the cast of "The Two Orphans." Monte appeared in several Paramount pictures in which he was prominently featured. Then Paramount let him go. I hope Griffith will keep him under contract; he is a good actor and a charming gentleman. WILLIAM T. TILDEN, 2nd, the world's singles tennis champion, wrote in a recent article called "Tennis Hits Its Stride," published in "The Open Road," a paragraph about the movies. He said: "The movies are my favorite form of amusement to avoid staleness. Charlie Chaplin has pulled many a match out of the fire for me. Norma Talmadge, Bill Hart, Mary Pickford and Dick Barthelmess as regular diet suit my taste. Unfortunately one must be careful not to frequent the movies too regularly owing to the eye strain caused by the flicker of the lights. It is not a wise thing to attend the movies the night before a big match, and it is folly to go the day you play, for you find your eyes will carry the motion of the flicker for some hours after." THERE has been no orchestral accompaniment to pictures in the New York theaters. The musicians are on strike. The organ, the piano, an occasional violin, and a chorus of voices take their place. Or try to. But this omission of real music only goes to show what a tremendous part music plays in the presentation of pictures. Two photoplays projected in Broadway houses during the strike suffered particularly. They were "Experience" and "A Virgin Paradise." These fairly cried for musical interpretation. There wasn't any, and it is almost a certainty that these pictures have not made the success they might have made. CONRAD NAGEL, leading man for both the deMilles in recent productions, is an usher in one of the large Hollywood churches. Apparently all the movies don't spend their time breaking the "Blue Laws." LILA LEE lives in a pretty, old-fashioned house that faces directly upon Western Avenue, one of the main automobile cross streets between Hollywood and Los Angeles. The front of the house on the second story has two sets of large lattice windows that swing outward, consequently without screens. The other morning about dawn a young millionaire of the Los Angeles smart set who likewise is well known in film circles was going homeward after an all night session with Dame Fortune, who had failed to smile. The young man, being an ardent admirer of Lila's, naturally glanced up at her house as his roadster sped by. He slowed down. The shade of one of the bedroom windows was up. The curtains were blowing in the breeze. The foot of a dainty, ivory bed could be seen beyond the window side. In the bed, peeping from beneath the lacy coverlet, was a set of the cutest little bare pink toes ever seen. The young man began to believe that life was not all dust and ashes. He decided the night wasn't wasted. He stopped the chauffeur, descended, plucked a long featherly branch from a eucalyptus tree and with a smile, tiptoed beneath the window and — tickled the little bare toes. An instant later there was an awful shriek, and Lila's small nephew's irate and vengeful countenance appeared in the opening. An outburst of youthful and boyish fury began to pour forth, from Juliet's supposed trellis, but the young man had fled incontinently, with renewed conviction that when luck's against you, it's against you, that's all. THE only released film starring Enrico Caruso, called "My Cousin," was revived shortly after the great tenor's death and shown on Broadway. At first it was thought that this was a mere money grabbing stunt, but the crowds that went to see it proved that it was really a splendid tribute to the dead singer. REMEMBER Florence Turner? If you do, you don't have to be told that the once famous American film star went to England some years ago to make pictures there. She had not been heard from for sometime until a newspaper cable reported that she had been robbed of money and jewels valued at about $5,000. It seems that she made an arrangement with a representative of a firm of house agents to inspect apartments at Hampstead. According to her story, the man suddenly attacked her, bound and gagged her, and having taken her valuables, left her alone on Hampstead Heath. It would make a good scenario. WE didn't count the candles on the birthday cake, so we don't know which birthday it was, but we do know that Wanda Hawley had A birthday this month, because that nice young husband of hers, Burton Hawley, gave a birthday party for her at the Hollywood Country Club. Yes, Wanda is really Mrs. Hawley, but her husband isn't "in the profession" — he's an automobile man, and owns a lot of garages or something. OF course there isn't any reason whya star shouldn't ride in a "flivver." None in the world. You just don't expect to see 'em, that's all. That's why it gave me such a jolt when I saw Viola Dana, all dressed up, too, occupying the front seat of a regular tin lizzie the other day. A very handsome young army officer, in full uniform, was piloting said bus, and Vi — in one of those close fitting, childish ginghams of hers and a big pink hat with roses on it — sat beside him, as proud as could be, with a regular full sized smile on her face. She looked just as contented as she usually does in her blue special built Cadillac limousine, with its velvet upholstery, too. DORIS MAY was talking to her husband, Wallace MacDonald, over the telephone. When she turned away, she remarked, "Well, Wally has rented a new house for us, but he says I can't see it until he has the new wallpaper on." That's the kind of a husband to have. I always knew Doris was going to be the most hen-pecked wife in pictures. Imagine a man that would rent a house and then select wallpaper without asking his wife. And Doris seems so pleased about it. Maybe men are coming into their own after all. Every advertisement in PHOTOPLAY MAGAZINE is guaranteed.
