Over the Teacups

comers, of course — but somehow I clingto my old favorites. Al Ray is one of them, and I'm waiting now to see him in 'Springtime' ; it's a two-reel comedy in which he's featured. He leaves the screen every little while and takes a turn at directing, you know ; he's directing Fox comedies just now. Usually I run on to his pictures just by chance, but I'm forewarned about this one.
"It's terrible to pursue a favorite screen actor's releases ; they've always just shown it at the theaters in your neighborhood, and you never can find it anywhere else. And speaking of favorites— aren't you glad that Alice Brady has decided to give up the stage for a year and just make pictures ? They say that Realart wanted her to, and, of course, since she was so ill in the spring she's seen that she couldn't burn the candle at both ends and still keep going. I wonder if she's going abroad this summer— she and her husband planned last spring that they would, I know."
"Then probably she will ; everybody does. I'm surprised that Tom Forman and his wife aren't starting for Europe with their brand-new baby; I don't see how they escaped the general craze to go. By the way, did you hear who Tom Forman, junior's, godparents are? Bessie Barriscale and Eddie Sutherland. He's starting out well, isn't he ?"
"He surely is," I agreed.
"And I have some more news of new stars, too," continued Fanny complacently ; that's her favorite form of gos
They say she's Gloria Swanson's double— what do you think about it.

Constance Talmadge is said to be engaged— the rumor usually comes out at about this time of year.
sip, I believe. "Justine Johnson is the newest Realart star. And aren't you interested in Bebe Daniels' first picture since Realart starred her? She has the part of a cigar girl in a big hotel, who's decided to marry a millionaire, and does it. Of course, it leads to all sorts of complications — but trust Bebe to engineer the heroine straight through them without any difficulty !"
"I know something interesting about Justine Johnson," I contributed as she paused for breath. "She used to be famous as a Follies girl, you know, but she wanted to do something more than just look beautiful, so she went off to a little town and joined a stock company — and they say she worked like everything, playing all sorts of parts. Then I believe that she appeared in plays at her husband's theater in Philadelphia or Pittsburgh ; I'm a little hazy on that part of the story. But, anyway, now that she's to be seen on the screen we'll have a wonderful chance to see what she can do in the way of straight work. I should think that would be a good way for girls who wanted to go into movies to get experience; a summer of stock would certainly give them a chance to find out whether they could act or not, wouldn't it?"
"Yoo — hoo — come on down and hear the latest news ! The most exciting thing yet !" shouted somebody from the beach.
"Bill Hart's married !" guessed Fanny as she scramb!ed over the rocks.
"Charlie Chaplin's going to do 'Hamlet,' " I speculated.
Next month I'll tell you what the news was.
