Photoplay Magazine, January 1921 (anuary 1921)

Photoplay Magazine—Advertising Section 97 Plays and Players (Continued) A NINE-YEAR-OLD newsboy hailed a well-known star in front of the Hotel Alexandria in Los Angeles the other day— calling him by his first name with admiring familiarity. The star ignored the lad with apparent intent and a decided glare. Say mister ." yelled the kid. ''I just wanted to know why you don"t give your leading lady a close-up once in the picture?" HOLLYWOOD BOULEVARD has been a regular country lane this month. Almost everybody has been vacationing, it seems. Undoubtedly the general ten- dency to mark time until after election is partly responsible, and the players have taken advantage of the time between stories to take trips about. If you want to find anybody to chat with, you have to go to Rig Bear or Tia Juana, or something. Elliott Dexter has been shooting in the wilds of Oregon, Bill Farnum is on a six months' vacation in the east, Nazimova and Anita Stewart are in New York and Long I-land, Bebe Daniels has been playing up in San Francisco, Dustin Farnum cruising round i>n a boat somewhere, Blanche Sweet has >ailed for Europe, Wally Reid on a dozen different hunting expeditions, Tommy Meig- han and Tom Foreman in New York mak- ing ''The Quarry," Mildred Harris Chaplin • lomesticating in the great Metropolis, Chap- lin doing the same- Why,, it's been a regular deserted village. SPEAKING of Norma: no sooner had Mr-. Schenck supervised the unpacking of her twelve trunks, than she had to pack up again. She had to go down to the Bahamas on location for a new photoplay. Imagine any woman, just home from Paris with the newest in frocks, canes and lin- gerie, having to hide herself in the West Indies! Husband Joe. Harrison Ford and Montagu Love were in the Talmadge party, to say nothing of Norma's director and il?o Chet Withey. Joe made him a pres- ent of the party to the Isles. Withey will ilirect Norma's next picture. STILL speaking: Herbert Brenon is to make either "The Passion Flower" or Smilin' Through" with Norma Talmadge. Brenon recently returned from a long so- journ abroad, where he made pictures with Marie Doro. Brenon. by the way, is one of the very few persons who has had the privilege of seeing "The Kid," the much- discussed Chaplin five-reeler. Brenon took his young son Cyril to CharlieV apartments at the Ritz. Cyril had no idea he was heing entertained by his favorite comedian. Even when he was told to "shake hands with Charlie Chaplin" he wouldn't believe it You can't blame a kid for experiencing a slight sense of disappointment, for Charlie -ans famous hat, mustache and shoes is just a quiet ordinary young man with no particularly startling characteristics. THE Bryant Washburns came back from England with much greater celerity than they went. Not that they love London less, but America more, you might say. After a long period of typical English fog, and after Mrs. Wa.-hburn took the young English leading lady .-elected for Mr. Wash- burn's picture on a shopping tour to show her what was what in styles, and after it fogged some more—the Washburns came home. IRENE CASTLE'S husband is understood to be financing his wife's return to the silvcrsheet. Irene's Paramount contract ex- pired sometime ago. and she has been lead- ing the simple life as Mr- Robert Treman 01 Ithaca, New York, for some time now.
