Franz, 949 Montana St., Chicago. Between Pictures daughter. The child is often at Miss Ayer's home, and the two are great pals. "I've hardly had any 'between pictures'," explained Charles de Roche, the new Lasky star, "but at the first opportunity I shall return to my native land, France. I'm a little bit homesick, I'll admit." Mae Murray spends her time between pictures, usually short, in shopping and in designing her many unique and beautiful costumes for the film plays in which she appears. She says she finds this sufficient change. Thomas Meighan always rushes to New York for his vacations while Charlie Ray loves dawdling about at home with his music, pottering over his plants, and changing the furniture about in his house, during his time between pictures. Harold Lloyd Seldom Rests e seldom takes a vacation, does Harold Lloyd. When he does, he takes a good long one, and goes to New York. Next year he is going to Europe. The rest of the time he spends his time between pictures working out his next story and cutting his last one. But he will stop a scene any time to work out a new puzzle ! Puzzles are his hobby. He and his wife, Mildred Davis, are fond of swimming, and once in a while they manage an hour in which to take a trip to the beach. Harold has a nice swimming pool at his home, however, and so usually the swimming jaunt narrows down to a dip in his own pool. Bessie Love and Carmel Myers are good little girls, and love to take their respective mammas for automobile trips between pictures, — that is, when they aren't posing for fittings for their next pictures or for publicity stills for their last ones. It looks as though the vivacious Barbara LaMarr spends her time between pictures in getting married and in looking for new babies to adopt. Now it seems that little baby Marvin hi to have an Italian brother, — or is it sister? — anyhow Miss LaMarr has not been idle while in Rome, but has adopted another youngster. Conrad Nagle Raises Melons J^i^aybe you would'nt get excited over a new breed of melon, but Conrad Nagle does. He claims to have evolved a new species of melon ! It is hard to imagine the immaculate Conrad fussing about a melon patch, clad in dirty old overalls, isn't it? But that is what he is doing, these days, in between making scenes of Three Weeks. Nagle owns a canteloupe ranch in Alhambra, just outside Los Angeles, and when he has nothing else to do, he drives down there to spend a day or two watching the melons grow. At home Conrad has a pansy garden of which he is very proud. Awfully wicked boy, Conrad ! George Beban, since his "beautiful and dumb" speech, isn't home in Hollywood much, but when he is he loves spending time between vaudeville tours and pictures, in his own garden. It isn't everybody has a wonderful youngster, and Harry Carey loves spending all the time he can with his. William S. Hart spends much time on his ranch near Los Angeles, where his beloved old horse is now pensioned off. Gloria Swanson is a fine horsewoman, and adores riding between pictures. Jack Kerrigan works in his garden between pictures. Little Jackie Coogan never works on a set a minute longer than he has to. The minute he is free he is out playing like any normal boy. Maybe that's why his work is so good. But he is a tender hearted youngster, too, and he often visits the Children's Hospital, where he does stunts for the less fortunate ones. They all adore him. It isn't all beer and skittles for the stars, these times between pictures. There are many tedious hours of posing for publicity pictures, of answering letters which must be answered in person, of interviews, of publicity stunts, of entertaining exhibitors whom they will never see again, of business details connected with private enterprise. So much for most of the vacations. Of the bricks tossed through the schoolhouse window we refer you to Professor Hays ! FLO ZIEGFELD PICKS 'EM Who Has the Prettiest Ankles on the Screen ?
