Close Up (Oct 1920 - Aug 1923)

14 SCREENING WHERE THE SCREENING’S GOOD Broadsides By ARGUS Bob Hayes is appearing in “The Alley Sheik.’’ Garbage! * * * Mary Miles Minter is making “The Trail of the Lonesome Pine.” This is a “wood” -be picture and they will probably use Holly Wood as a setting. * * * Lefty Flynn’s gag: When a woman says, “I’ll see you later,” you might just as well make up your mind to see her — and make it late. ^ ^ William Fairbanks is starring in “Spawn of the Desert.” What, another Sheik? * * * They say Fate is a fiddler. Well, I’ve been treated pretty bad lately, so let’s put on a new record. Quite apropos, Flo Melrose. * * * Faire Binney is working on “Wife in Name Only.” We’ve lost count on the number of times this has been done. * * Lige Conley’s wise wheeze: They say a woman pays. Yeh, the wealthy ones do, if their husbands are wise guys. * * * Bebe Daniels is working on “Glimpses of the Moon.” There must be moonshine in this. * * * This is probably Dustin Farnum’s joke: We know a joke about knots in a motorboat, and when the ocean is tide, but there’s something missing. It must be the joke. * * * Alice Calhoun has started on “One Stolen Night.” She’d better put it back. * * * Claude McElhany at it again: We’ve had so many jokes (both good and bad) on Radio waves, ocean waves, crime waves, and permanent waves, that we have decided to wave away all the waves from jokes, both permanent and crime. Jane Novak is starring in “Rock of the Ages.” This sounds like an insurance ad. * * * Frank Mayo is making “The Man From Outside.” Tell him to come in. * * * The best way to keep from waking up with a hangover is either not wake up, or don’t go to bed. Arthur K. Doe, of the Cunningham Cars, handed this advice in. * * * Lillian Gish is appearing in “The White Sister.” We might say that there was net much “color” to this story. * * * “Expect War on Alaskan Bill” — news item. Whats’ the matter, strike in the Eskimo Pie factory? Bertram Bracken wants to know. * 5k >K “Says girl can dress on $117 per annum” — news item. Not and look like a million dollars, she can’t, says Jean Calhoun. * * * Maybe Harry Garson did this: “I’m mad at all my girl friends. Christmas is near.” George Evans says that taking the wrong overcoat in cafes is a habit with some people. * * * Prohibition has not kept the aviators from taking a drop. This is a deep one by Reggie Barker. * * * Stuart Paton is directing “The Attic of Felix Bavu.” There must be “dust” in it! * * * T. Roy Barnes is making “The GoGetter.” This ought to “pick up” some business. * * * Martha Mattox discovered this: Sign in garage re?ds: “Strickly Cash.” And then another, “We Charge Batteries.” * * * Maricn Davies is working on “Little Old New York.” Where do they get that “little’ stuff? * * * Louis Gasnier at his best: My, but times do change. Why, now if a guy stays out all night, wifey thanks him for it. * * * One girl wants to know if this new dance, the Shuffle, was invented in the “ante”-rocm. Art Ricks says, “No.” * * * William Worthington would like to know: What’s the use of talking pictures when we have dumb-bells who read the sub-titles aloud? * * * Our Weakly Scenario by Jimmy Aubrey : The girl turned red in the face. She was standing on her head. * * * One way to make a girl tell you something is to squeeze it out of her. This is Harry Webb’s suggestion. s'jvpi IpBROWN ^ Vk.
