8 Shadows From the Silver Sheet GOSSIP BY ] THE ROUNDER { ................. . --—4 STELLAR CAST IS SIGNED FOR FILM Actual filming of “Your Friend and Mine,” the Metro-S-L (Sawyer-Lubin) screen version by Winifred Dunn of Willard Mack's sketch, has started at the Metro studios under the direction of Clarence G. Badger. Enid Bennett has been selected to appear in the leading feminine role. Mr. Mack himself will play an important part. Huntley Gordon enacts the part of the husband. Rosemary Theby will have the role of the playwright's wife in this picture. J. Herbert Frank has been engaged to play the part of an artist. Otto Lederer, well-known stage and screen character actor, will also appear in this picture. Mr. Lederer recently completed an eight months’ engagement as Solomon Levy in “Abie’s Irish Rose,” a play that enjoyed a 36 weeks’ run in Los Angeles. The screen version of “Your Friend and Mine” is an elaboration of Mr. Mack’s stage sketch, which was also produced in vaudeville under the title of “The Rat.” While the latter was able to touch only the “high spots,” the picture will render a complete story. Pauline Toler, who started out to be a dramatic actress, is about to settle in the groove of comedy. “It’s just life, this never having what you want,” she observes. !

He did it for the prison scenes in the stage production of Galsworthy’s “Justice,” proving that actors will at times make great sacrifices for the sake of their art. Now Bert Lytell has followed his worthy example for the Myron Selznick production, “Rupert of Hentzau,” and has dyed his hair a light blonder shade so as to be in keeping with the character of Rudolph in Anthony Hope’s novel. Bert might have worn a wig as so many other actors have done, but after a conference with Director Victor Heerman, it was decided that the public would be pleased to see one costume picture in which the players did not wear obvious-looking wigs, and the star consented to make the sacrifice. “One of the reasons for the disfavor with which the public held the old costume picture was ill-devised crepehair mustaches and false wigs It spoils the illusions and takes much of the glamour and romance out of the production.” Upon the completion of “Rupert of Hentzau" Lytell will allow his hair to regain its natural shade. Others in the case are Irving Cummings, Hobart Bosworth, Bryant Washburn, Lew Cody. Among the feminine stars are Elaine Hammerstein, Marjorie Daw and Claire Windsor. BOY ALWAYS RELIABLE Hunt Stromberg, who produces “Bull’’ Montana comedies for Metro, believes he has the most reliable office boy in the world. “If I tell that boy to do a thing he’ll accomplish it in spite of every obstacle,” said Mr. Stromberg. “Not so much on speed, but very reliable. If I send him out to get me a couple of sandwiches for lunch so I can remain at my work, he’ll get them. He may not come back until midnight, but he’ll bring the sandwiches w’ith him.” =K * * The state closed a make-up school. We see that they “made-up” their mind at last. Thanks to Ted Taylor.
