ffl Reginald Barker takes an "over-head" shot of Pleasure Mad, in which Huntley Gordon, Mary Alden and Norma Shearer have the leading roles.
ELL, now the suspense is over. The Wampas have elected the thirteen "baby stars" for the coming year. In case you don't know, the Wampas are a group of studio press agents. Every year they do one good deed and name thirteen lucky young actresses as candidates for fame and fortune.
The Wonder Girls for the coming season are: Gloria Grey, Ruth Hiatt, Clara Bow, Lucille Ricksen, Dorothy Mackaill, Julanne Johnstone, Elinor Faire, Margaret Morris, Carmelita Geraghty, Blanche Mahaffey, Hazel Keener, Marion Nixon and Alberta Vaughn.

The whole incident has started a storm in Los Angeles.
'oon after the Los Angeles police decided to put a stop to all dancing after midnight, the movie producers were seized with strange longings to move to localities where there is no curfew law. Charles Chaplin has dropped hints about producing his next serious picture in Italy, and several others made threats about going to San Francisco and leaving Los Angeles flat. Chaplin is getting
