6 With Comedians in Comedy Lane JACK COOPER Comedian OUT AT HAL ROACH’S "Paul” Parrott has only a few scenes remaining on his street car picture and will then begin work on a motor cop comedy for which scenes will be taken on the main thoroughfares of Hollywood and Los Angeles. Jim Davis will direct. Jobyna Ralston and Eddie Baker will be chief support. * * * "Sunshine Sammy” is buying a whole town in next week’s action in the current production of ‘‘His Rascals,” and a good time will be enjoyed by 100 children from 3 years to 8, who will appear as atmosphere in the scenes. About ten days’ work remains before the completion of the picture. Bob McGowan is directing. * * * Harry “Snub” Pollard’s first tworeeler, ‘‘Uncle Will’s Will,” was shown in its first preview at the Hal E. Roach Studios this week. Screen credit in addition to Mr. Pollard and Marie Mosquini goes to Noah Young, Jack Duffy and Jack Acroyd. Charles Parrott directed. EVERYONE’S BUSY! The title of the feature photoplay for Tally’s Theatre anniversary week, “Too Much Business,” was very appropriate for everyone concerned at the theatre and with the Jess Robbins Production company, which made the picture. Tally’s Theatre proved too small to accommodate the people who wished to see the popular stock leading man, Edward Horton, in his screen debut, and T. L. Tally found it necessary to give far more attention to the theatre to insure that all his patrons received the usual courteous attention. Edward Horton, the featured leading man of the subject, is playing in scenes for his next screen picture, "The Ladder Jinx” in the mornings, rehearsing or playing matinees in the afternoons and his regular performances each evening at the Majestic Theatre. Producer Jess Robbins is tripling in brass by directing the final scenes for his production, “The Ladder Jinx” in the morning, editing the film in the afternoons and working on his next story evenings. Tully Marshall, who makes his debut as a screen comedian, is working in both the Jess Robbins production and a subject being filmed at the Fox Studio, while Ethel Grey Terry, who plays the leading feminine role in “Too Much Business” is appearing in “Under Two Flags,” being filmed at Universal City, and is now leading woman for Harry Carey in “The Combat,” being filmed at the Robertson-Cole Studio. Aside from the above, the various people have nothing to do but take part in the many frivolous affairs of Hollywood night life. George Melford and company have returned from Oxnard. “Burning Sands,” his new Paramount production, will be continued at the studio with elaborate interior settings of exotic character. Wanda Hawley and Milton Sills are the featured players, which is an adaptation by Olga Printzlau and Waldemar Young from the novel by Arthui Weigall. "Burning Sands” is virtually an answer fo “The Sheik,” Melford’s former production. Jacqueline Logan, Robert Cain, Louise Dresser, Winter Hall and others are in the supporting cast.
