Fanny the Fan tells of the film colony's a sad picture of how Hollywood

Marie Prevost is capturing all the blue ribbons in the world with her cairns.
SOMEWHERE in Hollywood some one must be still making pictures," Fanny remarked with a distracted air, "but none of the really best people are allowing work to interfere with their sports.
"About two thirds of all the people you ever heard of arranged to have vacations in time to go East for the Dempsey-Tunney fight and the World's Series. The Sennett studio was the only one that simply shut clown for a month, but the others might just as well have done it. When I went over to Warners' the other day I hardly expected even to find Rin-Tin-Tin there.
"Patsy Ruth Miller and I went to the Athletic Club to lunch about a week ago. She was simply gloating because she was leaving for the East the next day. But there were few to gloat over, because it came out that everybody she told about it was going, too.
"Colleen Moore and John Mc'Cormick went; so did Helen Ferguson and Bill Russell, Carmel Myers, Madeline Hurlock, Marie Prevost and Kenneth Harlan and Vera Steadman, Richard Barthelmess, Monte Blue and his wife.
"Whole fleets of special trains left to carry the people from the film colony and I am surprised that the general passenger agent didn't go stark, raving mad, because just as he got the reservations arranged everybody would decide to go on another train so as to be with their best friends.
"It may have been a bout between two prize fighters to the rest of the world, but to Hollywood it was a clash between their old friend Jack Dempsey and their new idol Gene Tunne}\ Gene made hosts of friends while he was out here making his Pathe serial.
"Doris Kenyon and Milton Sills left for the East the other day but not for the fight, just to get married. It seems that because of sentimental associations Doris wanted to be married in her camp up in the Adirondacks.
"Of course, you will never believe it, but I saw Milton Sills out at the studio the other day and didn't recognize him. At last I agree with the women who think he is terribly interesting looking. In 'Men of the Dawn' he wears a Swedish Royal Guards uniform that is vastly becoming and a tiny mustache that changes his entire expression. It gives him a slight sardonic leer. I hope that the public likes him that way so that he won't go back to playing those big, noble diamonds in the rough."
Fanny reached for a glass of water and a twinge of pain contorted her face.
"Don't laugh," she urged ; "or at least not until you see me walk. I've got the tennis blues. I've been trying to keep up with some of these outdoor girls and I've about decided that I'd better give up all exercise that is more strenuous than playing bridge.
"Of course, you know that with winter coming on — as though winter ever really did come on in California — every one has gone in for sports. Marion Davies and Bebe Daniels, Carmelita Geraghty and
