2 YOUR CINEMA FAVORITES In onfidence BLACK MAGIC Louise Fazenda has "started things at Warner Brothers studios where she is playing "Bea Sorenson, Swedish maid, in “Main Street." Miss Fazenda has had her horoscope cast, a most brilliant one giving her fame, fortune and happiness. Florence Vidor, playing “Mrs. Kennicott,” and Alan Hale, Louise’s Swedish beau in the production, have divulged birth dates et al for their readings, for which they are feverishly waiting. The towns represented as birth places couldn’t be wider apart, for Miss Fazenda saw the light of day in Lafayette, Ind., Miss Vidor, Houston, Tex., and Mr. Hale, Washington, D. C. The horoscoper is Frank Baum, son of the late L. Frank Baum of “Wizard of Oz” fame, who has made for years a deep study of the occult, and casting horoscopes is his favorite diversion. Carl Miller, supporting Edna Purviance in her first starring vehicle. “Public Opinion,” written and directed by Charles Chaplin at the Chaplin Studios, is being rehearsed by the famous comedian in the sequence that ushers in scenes of great tensity t,he photography to be taken this week. Mr. Miller, in the production, is a painter and will shortly be active at his easel in painting the portrait of Miss Purviance. * * f! HARRY IS HAPPY, TOO According to Director Harry Beaumont, who is filming “Main Street” at Warner Brothers, he has never in all his career as a director seen a more congenial troupe. There’s Florence Vidor and Louise Fazenda, they have become close friends. Monte Blue and Harry Myers are kicking around together and as for the extras, well, several susceptible young men have been smitten by dainty Swedish blondes. “It’s great,” says Beaumont; “keeps everyone happy and is the best stimulus to a picture in the world.” Harry Edwards, the production manager at Christie’s, happened to be looking for a waiter at the Club Royale the other night, and after vainly speaking to a dozen men with this object in mind, exclaimed to Al Christie, “What’s the use! There are so many men here in Tuxedos that I can’t find my waiter.” X * * William Duncan said that he went to a number of dances in Los Angeles so that he could get used to the subway crush in New York. x * * Hugh Deirker is directing “The Other Side.” Ought to be able to see through this. * x * Douglas MacLean is making “Going Up.” Probably a story with an elevator in it.
