©®he^i®®®a jf©Tnni»g> Pauline Busli is having her first real vacation in three whole years. Yes, and she has gained three whole pounds. (cl^ jj3 Alkali Ike has mysteriously disappeared, and so he is no longer Uni- 8 versal Ike, and they have a "Universal Ike, Jr.," in his place. «« The Lubin Company, at St Augustine, had some very exciting snake /k experiences. However, they say they were "sho'nuf" temperance snakes. _ The Vitagraph Company has purchased a sporty new car to drive over Ji a precipice and to smash all to smithereens. Sounds a leetle extravagant. " Elenor Peggy Blevins has gone from Essanay to Selig, lost her appen- w dix and married a cattle magnate. 9 William Garwood is leading a double life—oh, the bold, bad man! Not content with being an actor, he has an onion farm hobby on the side. Marguerite Courtot, of the Kalem Company, has a dressing-room that is all pink, and her poodle, Buddy, wears a big, pink bow. But then Margy is only seventeen. Princess Mona has won another revolver-shooting contest. When Mary Pickford saw herself in "Tess of Storm County," she could buy only standing room. Serious matter when a player gets so popular that she cant see herself. Nearly every company dashes off to a fire and films it, and then has a play written around the fire. That is why a certain old maid was sur- prised to see herself and her "nighty" in a picture. Walter Rogers is going to play dramatic instead of comedy roles for a change. Perhaps Bunny will begin playing juvenile parts to rest his laughing-muscles. Another book has come to the aid of the benighted photoplay writer. It is entitled, "Playwriting for the Cinema," by Ernest A. Dench, of London, England. It is a clever little handbook, sells for a shilling and includes in its twenty-two chapters some things new—an English point of view, and the difference in writing for British and American production. The Essanay Company is releasing "Snakeville" stories every Thurs- day, with Marguerite Clayton in the lead. She is trying to put a stop to "Thursday always was my Jonah day." Francis Bushman was selected, by three world-famous sculptors, as the typical American, both in figure and facial contour. Grace Cunard just wont play in a scene with rats. It is going to mean rewriting some of the big scenes. After changing around so much, Irving. Cummings has finally settled down. He has married Mignon Anderson. Good luck, honeymooners! The other night, hearing a noise in one of the henhouses of his chicken farm, Edwin August went out to investigate. "Who's there?" he asked. And the answer came back, "Jest us chicks." Edwin has been wondering which of his chicks could talk. The strange thing is that King Baggot was on his Western trip at that time, and it is known that he is extremely fond of fowl. Carlyle Blackwell is still in the East with the Famous Players. He has promised his Western friends to bring home all the new maxixe steps. Did you know that Myrtle Stedman, who is doing leads in Jack London's plays, was once an opera singer? She must have had as many adventures as Jack himself. The Famous Players recently gave a sumptuous beefsteak supper. When it got out that charming Helen Lindroth (Kalem) cooks pies like mother used to make, her "crush" letters doubled. 126
