WHAT’S IN A NAME?
Harry Brand, purveyor of public information for the Joseph M. Schenck organization which includes the Norma and Constance Talmadge and Buster Keaton companies, Harry, we say, has a grievance against dramatic editors.
“They won’t spell the name of Norman’s current picture right,” wails Harry.
“Now, its correct title is ‘The Duchess of Langeais.’ Clippings I get back from all parts of the country, however, call Honore Balzac’s immortal masterpiece, ‘The Duchess of de Langeais,’ ‘The Duchesse of Langeais,’ ‘The Duchess of Langois,’ ‘The Duchess of Lengois,’ ‘The Duchess of Longais,’ and so on — there’s about thirteen variations.
“One writer twisted it back into French thinking he would do me a good turn by quoting what (s.. he thought was the original French title of Balzac’s story. (S) he had it: ‘La Duchess de la Langeais.’
“Too many la-la’s,” says Harry.
“Now let’s get it straight. Here’s the English of it: ‘The Duchess of Langais’ — I mean ‘The Duchess of Langeais’ (I left out the ‘e’). And this is the French version: ‘La
Duchesse de Langeais.’ As they say in railroad circles, let’s all ‘please be governed accordingly.’ ”
John McCormick, western representative of First National, says he isn’t going to get into deep water and hereafter will call Norma's latest photoplay simply, succinctly and briefly, “The Duchess.”
And that’s that.
Marcia Manon, popularly known as “the most wicked vampire on the screen,” has been loaned to Richard Walton Tully by J. L. Frothingham, for a prominent role in the forthcoming production of “The Masquerader.” Miss Manon will be remembered for her exceptional work in “The Forbidden Thing” and the late George Loane Tucker’s “Ladies Must Live.” She will shortly be seen in the leading feminine role of “The Man Who Smiled,” a J. L. Frothingham production.

HOW ACTORS REALLY
FORM THE AUDIENCE
Actors form the audience in motion picture production (they ’’assemble to listen” to the director). The newest member of William D. Taylor’s stellar audience is Agnes Ayres. Following back the chronicles of picturedom with an inquisitive finger we find that Betty Compson, May McAvoy, Ethel Clayton, Elsie Ferguson, Mary Miles Minter, Mary Pickford, Constance Talmadge, Louise Huff, Kathleen Williams and Vivian Martin have some within the vocal radius of William D. Taylor’s megaphone.
The best place to find humanity is in the dictionary, says Pauline Curley.
THAT’S HIM
One of Cullen Landis’ peculiarities is that he never carries a make-up box. Instead, he has a funny, battered, little old straw luncheon basket, which contains simply — a powder puff! He appeared before Rupert Hughes the other day with his lunch box in his hand, much to the amusement of the author, who directed his story, “Remembrance.”
