6 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. * * * Doris Pawn, Goldwyn player, says her name hasn’t anything to do with her proclivities. * * * Kate Lester, Goldwyn Grand Dame, loves dogs. She recently spent several hundred dollars advertising for her lost “Nigger” and he wasn’t a thoroughbred, either. ^ * IfC Dorothea Wolbert, who is being featured by Universal in a series of shortreel comedies under the direction of Vin Moore, has finished a burlesque on “Romeo and Juliet” and started on another mirth agitator, the principal scenes of which are laid in a fashionable modiste shop. 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. By M. L. HELENE LYNCH Ingenue Leads 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.
