: A M E R A ! POSSIBLY ABOUT II With the return of Lloyd Hamilton from a two months absence in New York, where he was featured in a D. W. Griffiith production, there is much activity at the Fine Arts studio, now devoted solely to the use of Jack White and Lloyd Hamilton productions. Gil Pratt has been entrusted with the direction of the Hamilton picture, the second of the 1924 Educational series, to follow "The Optimist" which will shortly have its first-run at a down-town theatre. No supporting cast or title has yet been chosen for the new production, on which work will start within a few days : Norman Taurog, having finished production of the -first Jack White Special comedy, is now directing the second Cameo comedy, with Ruth Hiatt, Cliff Bowes and George Ovey. A friend of Edward Martindel met him on the street the other day. "Remember the bootlegger who used to sit in the parlor of my little home and who sold me all my liguor?" he asked? •"Yes, I remember him," returned Martindel. "He still sits in that parlor," groaned the friend. "Why be so long-faced about that?" questioned the actor. "I used to own the house," wept the friend. "Now he owns it." Bryant Washburn, starring in his own productions for GrandAsher, likes to golf and also to fish. "If," he says, "Someone would just invent a combination golf -club and fishing rod, wouldn't it be great?" Gustatory Genius John's New Cafe 6382 Hollywood Blvd. ANNOUNCEMENT Dr. A. L.

"The Digest of the Motion Picture Industry' POSSIBLY ABOUT U Page Twenty-one NIECE SAMMY—NOT UNCLE When most of us hear the name of Sam or Sammy, we immediately see the picture of the be-whiskered gentleman originally made famous by a high beaver hat. Such was Priscilla Moran's idea, too — Priscilla is the little girl who spent several months as Jackie Coogan's foster sister, but is now reunited with her father and bids fair to win considerable screen fame on her own merit. Priscilla has ben engaged for the role of Sammy in the Warner Brothers' production of "Daddies." She had expected to wear the familiar Uncle Sam costume, but she learned that this Sammy was a little girl orphan in rather destitute circumstances. Whereupon she promptly christened this one "Niece Sammy." After several other young women had turned down an offer to ride a goat in Fred Caldwell's recent comedy drama Muriel Reynolds expressed her willingness to tackle the Billy. She was given the part and proved so satisfactory that Caldwell requested J. Stewart Woodhouse who was writing his stories, to provide a part for Miss Reynolds in the following scripts. Woodhouse wrote a characterization for Miss Reynolds in two stories that were subsequently filmed. Fred Caldwell has just returned from New York City where he secured a contract with the Selznick Distributing Organization to handle these features and to distribute his entire output for the coming year. JACK WHITE HAS VACATION Jack White, comedy producer, and Fred Hibbard, director, have returned from a three-day vacation in the mountains, by which they celebrate the completion of the seventh Mermaid comedy, in which Lige Conley is featured, and Olive Borden, a Jack White "find", has her first leading role. Mr. White will immediately start work on the next Mermaid two-reeler, for which no director has yet been selected. Hollywood has a screen player who doesn't dare use makeup. She is Joan Standing, and, like the other Standings of historic fame, is a capable performer. Joan Standing is the daughter of Herbert Standing, well known English actor. She first attracted attention through her work in "Win the Man You Love," a Choice Productions Inc., Special. The reason Miss Standing cannot use paint or powder is because the slightest bit of makeup would hide her chief stock in trade and her most cherished possession — her freckles. Miss Standing has a major role in "Greed" and has been cast for "Three Weeks," to be produced by Goldwyn. Hughes, Seastrom, Browning and Baker all arc considering material for their next pictures.
