With Comedians in Comedy Lane
RAY GETS ANOTHER CHRISTIE GIRL
Charles Ray has again drafted a Christie comedy girl for his leading woman. She is Laura La Plante, pretty blonde leading lady of seventeen who is to appear in Ray’s second First National production just started.
Miss La Plante comes right on the heels of Dorothy Devore, another of Christie’s leading ladies, who was loaned to Charlie Ray for the leading role of “Mary” in "Forty-five Minutes From Broadway.”
A1 Christie met Charlie Ray several days ago and the latter remarked that he thought he might move his productions over to the Christie plant; it would facilitate the matter of getting girls.
A BULLS EYE
One of the most realistic screen fights ever staged on a motion picture lot was that between Pell Trenton and Irving Cummings for a scene in “The Orchid,” now nearing completion. The two men went at it hammer and tongs and the other stages were deserted to see the battle. Both became so enthusiastic that it was necessary for them to go to the hospital for arnica and bandages when the battle was over. Trenton, who has played leads in more than 100 stage and screen productions, and who has been playing in all-star casts for the past two years, declares this is the best fight he has ever had.
P‘And I needed the exercise, too,” he said.

RECUPERATING
When Helene Lynch finished playing the ingenue lead under the direction of Jacque Jaccard, she determined to take a voluntary rest, but things so turned out that she had to take an involuntary one. For this charming young lady who is looking at you above these lines, contracted a severe attack of La Grippe. Under the fostering care of her witty mother she was able to recuperate successfully. At this writing she is looming up as a big possibility for a special feature shortly to be produced by a well known Eastern director.
TO SOME ONE
I care not for gifts that "Pandora” can give,
I seek not for Honors — or mere taints ed Pelf,
If aught I require, it is longer to live;
To prove by devotion — my love for yourself.

Mr. Arbuckle after having spent “Brewster’s Millions” is broke and is now doing “The Dollar a Year Man.” Well, we guess the money went to his head.
