Close Up (Oct 1920 - Sep 1923)

4 ....Flickerings From Flicker land.... KINEMA— This theatre didn't have much trouble in keeping Jackie Coogan in "Trouble for at least two weeks. The boy is always good, although the story might have been better to suit the proclivities of this star-let. THE SHIP— Although I did not personally attend the maiden voyage of the new “Ship,” I understand from a friend who represented me that it was a swell affair. The waves on the outside helped to make it so. Morrie Rauch and Bill Paine proved themselves able skippers, and the passengers found a great many things to amuse them on the initial trip. SUNSET INN — Claude McElhany drove me past this much advertised resort at about 7:30 one night and I saw exactly two machines lined out in front. Evidently, Sunset Inn is becoming very popular? WINTER GARDEN — There is a very nifty show going on at this place at this writing, which is really worth while, with a clever comedian, or two, and some splendid individual dancing numbers. I also saw an old favorite of ours, Claire Vaughn, the noted “Coon Shouter.” Of course, as King Baggot says, “If they do steal other people’s stuff, they should at least give Gus Edwards or Richard Karle credit for it, when putting any of those kind of numbers on.” VICTOR HUGO— The only thing I can tell you about this cafe in this issue is, that its proprietor is to be seen on Tuesday night at Jack Doyle’s, and on Friday night trying to get a decent seat from Roy Marshall in the Legion Stadium. NEW MOONLITE GARDENS— This place opened the first of June and there is nothing especially attractive about it, nor is there anything within its doors to recommend it particularly to the discriminating. JAHNKE’S — The music in this beneath-the-sidewalk cafe is being much talked of by the discriminating musical public. Jackie Taylor, Lou Stepp and Schomberg are responsible for these favorable vocal criticisms. GREEN MILL — Is still doing a good business and serving a splendid chicken dinner. PALAISE ROYAL— This place got a little free publicity last week. A well intentioned burglar got away with $1600 or $1700. If this sum represents the intake at this place each day, here is an arithmetic problem for you. How much profit was made out of this amount, presented the critical public with a presuming this amount had not been stolen in the first place, or the last place I spoke of? MARCELL’S — Well, it opened! and, although Brandstatter figured that society would turn out because he asked them to, he must have received the jolt of his life when he saw the congregation. Quite a number of Jewish society people were conspicuous for their loud voices and shirt fronts. As my night life article has been rather prolonged and boresome in this issue, I am leaving my beautiful stenographer to her deadly task of typing these notes, while I go out and ask Charles Lockhard, the business manager of the Los Angeles baseball club — why his (Angels) didn’t win the second game last Sunday against Charles Lorenz’ (Tigers). You can say what you please about your major clubs, but the major operation in my young life is to go and see these two battle-scarred teams fighting it out for the Pacific Coast baseball supremacy. I hope while witnessing the Monday game to be able to return to my said “B. S.” and tell her that Charles Lockhard certainly answered my question. Paul Powell has practically completed “Borderland,” but some of the trick episodes in the remarkable picture by Beulah Marie Dix, starring Agnes Ayres for Paramount, required considerable time to film. It is a novelty picture in every respect. * * * Bertram Bracken says that telling a woman’s age and being polite are two different things. * * * “Ah, I’ve been tripped,” he said, as he fell for the girl. Monroe Salisbury must have his little gag. * * * Larry Semon again! Intermission between the cast should be called: “Flask openers.” Arrowhead Ginger Ale ^!£!I^HOUS Af(ROV<HtAI' MOT sw*£i_ *** COHTVtrs J — • ~ 8Fl*0 < ORik* «Ltcr * l*TS Ujrt 0r,t >*«»« ii****^' tAV*- , hi r(r.l.AMfK0F,«U — a good mixer At All Cafes ARROWHEAD SPRINGS CO.
