Everyone in Hollywood agrees that Colleen Moore's impersonation of the aged " Selina Peake " in So Big was the best thing the little star had ever done. " Especially," remarked one of her friends, " that bit where you laboriously cross the room to your chair." Colleen just smiled and after a bit, with characteristic frankness replied : •" Well that bit wasn't Art, it was Nature. You see I'd had my first riding lesson the previous day and so ..." If you've ever done likewise, you'll see Colleen's point. A hce Joyce seems to have definitely *^ returned to the screen, for she is scheduled for nearly a year's work. Her first film is A Man's World, with Percy. Marmont, Helena D'Algy and Ford Sterling also in the cast. Llouse Peters, too, is well in :ne spot** light, for besides The Tornado, which has already been trade shown this side he is making Raffles, and several other stories for Universal. pfty stars adopted a novel method of raising money for the Near East Relief Fund. On a certain day, they all lunched at United Studios on stew. black bread, stewed peaches and hot chocolate, and gave the difference between the eight cents this magnificent repast cost and the amount of their usual lunch-cheque to the fund. Dorothy Mackaill, Pat O'Malley. Louise Glaum, John Bowers, and Marguerite De La Motte had their own table and cracked so many jokes that they almost forgot to eat. John Gilbert is the " Prince Danilo " of Stroheim's Merry Widmi' film, with Mae Murray as " Sonia," and Tully Marshall and Josephine Crowell in support. Noah Beery is a happy man these days for he has won his first film fight for sixteen years. " Ever since 1 went in for ' heavies,' " he complains, " I have been a human shock absorber. Heroes by the dozen have knocked me out in the last reel. I think every leading man on the screen has punched my jaw at one time or another. But in Contraband, I got a bit of my own back and after seven hours filming I beat Ray McKee and put him to sleep for a few minutes." Noah, who is six foot one, and correspondingly brawny, is one of the best hated villains in movieland. TWfarguerite de la Motte has received "' a whole lot of dancing shoes fron Anna Pavlova, the famous Russian Ballerina. Marguerite and Pavlova both patronise the same shoemaker, who has strict orders from the dainty little film star to always include some "broken in " ones of Pavlova's with the new ones. Marguerite used to be one of Pavlova's troupe before she went on the screen, and she has never forgotten it. T loyd Hughes is devoting all his spare " time to clog dancing of the variety known as " race-track-leg-shakirig." He is playing " the Dancin' Kid " in Dixie, and naturally has to live up to it. His favourite instructors are two darkies who are ardent followers of the " Sport of Kings " in Kentucky. George Carosella, an animal tamer of the Zelig zoo had a terrifying experience the other day. " Queenie,'' a lioness, suddenly turned on him and caught his head between her jaws. She had been suffering from toothache, and it doubtless affected her temper, but Carosella had to fight her off with a pitchfork and was badly lacerated about the face and head.
