HELPING THE CHILD ALONG If it’s a girl, her name will be Norma Constance Talmadge Keaton. If it’s a boy — No, not “Buster, Jr.” Far from it. Just plain “Joe.” Of course, that isn’t the name that will be inscribed in the family Bible. His real name will be Joseph, after his uncle, Joseph Schenck. All of which is just a foreword to the statement that Natalie Talmadge and Buster Keaton — Mr. and Mrs. in private life — are eagerly await'ng the arrival of their first born, which event is scheduled to take place some time in May. Mother Talmadge— parent of Norma, Constance and Natalie — said recently that the pile of dainty pink and blue things, tinted ivory rattlers, comb and brush sets and lace baby bibs is growing steadily in the Keaton home, in preparation for the big event. “Constance works herself ill with worry over it,” she said. “Norma sews for it day and night, and Mr. Schenck thinks of nothing else. “We have talked the question over seriously many a night th's winter, with Buster demanding a male heir, and all the girls praying for a girl. But whatever sex wins out I don’t suppose it can escape a future in pictures.” Harold Lloyd is still concentrating on the small town atmosphere in his current comedy as yet untitled. * * * Harry “Snub” Pollard has begun work on a new picture in which theatrical life will be featured. Supervising Director Charles Parrott is at the megaphone. Marie Mosquini and Noah Young are chief support. * * * “Paul” Parrott will be a most harassed American husband plunged into typical situations in American family life in his next comedy, the script for which is now ready. A1 Santell will direct and Jobyna Ralston and Eddie Baker head the support. * * * B. P. Schulberg, head of “Preferred Pictures,” is building sets at the Louis B. Mayer studio, where Katherine MacDonald is to star in more First National releases. The company headquarters will be on the Mayer lot. HELENE LYNCH Ingenue Lead If church congregations would divert the fat salaries given “faultfinders” and pulpit orators in helping the needy, living within the shadow of million dollar edifices erected to the vanity of man, and “the glory of God” then there wouldn’t be any necessity for gcspel ranters and churches, and we believe that God would be satisfied with the arrangement.
