BI WILLIS. •PAtnjicg Bosh writes from a ranch that tier holiday is nearlng Its end, and that she has added- considerable poundage. She has been writing a series of psychological ar- ticles for one of the prominent magazines. These are published under a pen name, and ere remarkable for their thought and in- eight Miss Bush Is one of the most Intel- lectual actresses on the tcreen. and certainly one of the moat earnest and deserting. William D. Tatlob, now filling a special engagement with tbe Balboa Company, baa received a contract to write three vaudeville sketches, one of which is for the Orpheom circuit. It la not generally known that Mr. Taylor haa written a number of successful sketches including "The Mills of tbe Gods," or tbst'he 1» engaged upon a psychological three-act play which may make its first ap- pearance In Los Angeles. He is also the author of several photoplays. .... _ Wiibv J. P. McGowah, of the Kalem. Co., selected Helen Holmes as his leading woman, be made a wise choice. He acknowledges that be ran a risk, for Miss Holmes was better known in tbe Artists' than the mo- tion picture studios, and her beautiful face and figure are depicted upon Boveral famous canvasses. Director McGowan had a talk with tbe ambitious voting womnn and en- gaged her, and Helen Holmes has far sur- passed his anticipation and is one of tbe most popular artistes on the screen. Wubn Carlyle Blackwell reached New Yor* from Los Angeles recently he found that his change from the Kalem to th9 Famous Play- ers bad been widely heralded, and one hun- dred and sixty-five letters of congratulation awaited him, which goes to show how keenly photo-fans follow their favorites' movements and keep in touch with them. Gbacb Cukaid underwent an operation at the Sisters' Hospital tbls week, and was out of the "Lucille company for several days. Before going she and Francis Ford put in two strenuous days taking the scenes in which Grace appeared. "Lucille Love" with- out Lucille seems like "Hamlet" without the melancholy Dane. Francis Ford hai worked up a very interesting "No. 11," with tbe Mexican troubles for atmosphere. Habbt Pollabd Is producing an interest- ing photoplay for the "Beauty" brand, en- titled "The Other Train," and in it Mar- garita Fischer takes a character which starts with girlhood and goes through to old age. Mr. Pollard atitoed to Los Angeles and back last Saturday to obtrln special costumes for this production. Tbe roads between Los Angeles and Santa Barbara are In fine con- dition, and Harry enjoyed the Jaant. Bess Meredith Is spending a few days at Catalina Island, where the natives are wont to be surprised at her many disguise*, for she Is BtiU "Bess, tbe Detectress, hounding down villains who annoyloglv turn out to ho very unoffending parties. Last week she wore a full beard for the first time. "Never again." says Bess, "baards taste very nasty. Just like old fashioned hair mattresses 1" Tie "Bess" series are making quite a hit EnvA Maison Is being featured la a strong military story, under t'.io direction of Charles Glblln. Edna has a fine acting part as a secret service woman, and there Is no better actress en tbe screen when it comes to re- pressed or expressed emotions. The Universal are outlining some big things for tbls really fine performer Cleo Madison's burned feet are not nor- mal yet. but she Is hard at work again. "Can't afford to be idle," she says. She Is at present entertaining a brother and his wife, who never saw a picture In tho making before. They tell Cleo that she Is a popular Idol in their home city, and jxnt-caras of her are given away frequently by the thea- atres. Harold Lockwood is very enthusiastic over his part In "The County Chairman," and is just as enthuoed over his director, Allan Dwan, who was recently with tbe Universal. Lockwood has an ideal part for him, and bis work with the Famous Players ever since he started to play opposite Mary Plckford baa sbown a remarkable advance. This Is due both to tbe actor and his di- rectors. CHASE-LISTER B. B. TEAM.
