ment was made that the book was to be presented to the President of the United States. Thereafter registering was fast and furious, each tourist knowing full well that the President was going to lay aside matters of state and at once sit him down to read every name therein inscribed ! Oh, well, it's a great world anyway ! Seen on the Boulevard Opeaking of sights in Hollywood that cause the jaded to stop and look — one view of Lord Auckland and his pet coyote is sure to arouse interest. No one seems to be quite sure whether the coyote is a coyote or a wolf, but it is quite certain that the beast is not a dog. No mere canine could manage such a heartfelt sneer ! Well, anyway, when his Lordship takes his daily constitutional along our main thoroughfare, he is invariably accompanied by his pet. The animal is not as fond of walking as his master is, and about every half-block rebels. This rebellion is not a matter of growls and snarls. Oh, no — the beastie merely sits down very definitely and positively. Lord Auckland is so used to these manoeuvres that he merely continues on his way, and when the coyote is tired of sleigh-riding, or mayhap when he encounters a splinter, he gets up on four feet and trots along as unconcernedly as ever. In another half-block the performance is repeated. It is reported that his Lordship has forty more coyotes — or are they wolves ? — on his place in England, and that he just brought this one along for companionship. To Vie for Honors „umor has it that both Dorothy Phillips and Betty Blythe are to portray Mary Stuart, ill-fated Queen of Scots. Miss Blythe is at present in England and reports from there are of the vaguest, but Miss Phillips is right here on the West Coast, so we can check up more definitely on her. An eastern syndicate plans to star Miss Phillips in a screen play based on Schiller's drama, Mary Stuart. I do not know who is to back Miss Blythe's picture, but suffice it to say that we have waited a long time for someone to discover the splendid material this portion of English history offers for drama. Washburns to Be Featured Bryant Washburn and his wife, who will appear on the screen as Mabel Forrest, are to be featured by the Grand-Asher organization. Mrs. Washburn — or Miss Forrest, as she chooses to be known to the screen — was a musical comedy favorite before her marriage to Bryant some years ago. She left the stage then to become an ideal wife and, later, the mother of two lovely children. Now she feels that the children are old enough to take care of themselves, supervised by a competent nurse and housekeeper. Miss Forrest's present contract followed her very successful appearance as the leading woman opposite Charles Ray in the Screen Writers' Revue last spring. Von Stroheim in Death Valley T seems as if Eric Von Stroheim would never get a chance to see his wife and their seven-months-old baby. First he went to San Francisco to film Greed, which was taken from Frank Norris' McTeague. Realistic always, he insisted that the picture be filmed in the exact locale in which it was written. Therefore, instead of building fLJack Dempscy and the other pugilists aren't the only ones to use roadwork to attain perfect form. Here's Helene Chadtvick try~ ing it and, as may Tie visible, with real success. INTERNATIONAL 73
