Some people call dice “Galloping Dominoes.” This is “natural” enough.

Blanche Sweet signed a film contract of 28 words and three figures. Well, these press agents must be original, and this is the latest official gag.

A great musician had murdered two cornet players. He was to be hanged, and as the rope was placed around his neck, a man in the rear of the lethal chamber cried: “Aw, your execution is rotten!”

He left her in “The Lying Truth” and found her two years later a “wandering daughter!”
Such is the story of Pat O’Malley and Marjorie Daw. Not since the Marian Fairfax production of the Marshall Neilan pictures in which they played screen sweethearts, have these two favorites been united until they found themselves portraying leading roles in “Wandering Daughters,” a James Young production, now in the making at the United Studios.

CLIFF SMITH ON LOCATION ^
Cliff Smith and his company, now making the first of a series of eight photoplays for the H. and B. Film Company, having finished shooting the interiors at the Bronx Studio, are now out on location in the Topango canyon. Eileen Sedgwick is the leading lady of this company. Myles McCarthy, who plays the sheriff in the production, although neatly murdered on Saturday, is again cavorting among the canyon rocks as hale and spry as ever. The arch villians, played by Lew Meehan, Ben Corbett and Eugene McKay, will see to it that neither McCarthy, Smith nor Miss Sedgwick suffers from ennui but will get what ^s coming to them in the end.
All this we have on the authority of the author of “The Scar,” the temporary title of the story, an original by Eugene A. Vogt, and he ought to know.
K. J. Bishop is production manager of the H. and B. Film Company, of which F. F. Hedden is president.
MAKING A MISTAKE
We have noticed that the press notices and billing exploiting “The Toll of the Sea,” which played at Loew's Theater last week, rated Kenneth Harlan as the star of this technicolor feature. After viewing the picture, we came to the conclusion that a serious mistake had been made; for if anyone deserved to be starred in this picture it should have been, without a doubt, Anna May Wong. This little Chinese lady gave one of the finest emotional portrayals recently shown in motion pictures. Why wasn’t she starred in the press matter and billings?
Conrad Tritschler, famous European scenic artist, imported by Richard Walton Tully to do the scenic work on “Trilby,” denounces futuristic and cubist art as “inartistic and unworthy the name of ‘art’.”

A NATURAL MISTAKE
Victor Potel, the elongated comedian, was standing in front of the Robertson-Cole studios the other day, going through a series of swift twisting movements with his fingeis. Across the street stood a fellow and his girl, a sweet young thing, whom the comedian had failed to observe. After watching Potel for a while the fellow became indignant, thinking the actor was trying to “steal” his girl. Crossing the street he said: “What’s the big idea of all this?” imitating Potel’s finger movements. “Trying to flirt with my girl, eh?” As he was about to peel off his coat for a fistic battle, the comedian calmly explained that he was playing the part of a dummy in the new Robertson-Cole picture, “When Jerry Comes Home,” and was simply rehearsing the deaf and dumb alphabet. The fellow, begging an apology, returned to his sweetie, who had become quite amused over the incident.
DEL RUTH SIGNS NEW
SENNETT CONTRACT
Coincident with the announcement of renewed activity on the Mack Sennett lot, it has been made known that Roy Del Ruth has signed another contract to direct Mack Sennett comedies.
During the term of his previous contract, Del Ruth was responsible for the direction of that series of tworeelers in which Billy Bevan and Mildred June were the featured players, but his attention will now be given to Ben Turpin, although working with the cross-eyed comedy star is no new experience for him, as he has already made several very good comedies wtih his popular comedian.
If you are annoyed in the Egyptian Theater in Hollywood, just pass it by thusly— Tut-Tut. T-U-T T-U-T. Jean Calhoun is responsible.
