Close Up (Oct 1920 - Aug 1923)

5 Moving Along In Movie-Land “YOU’RE NEXT” A WORD OF THANKS By Marshall Lorimer When you are oversmitten with a Girl who love’s another: And she tells you very frankly that she hopes you’ll be a Brother! While she holds your hand the meanwhile and her eyes melt into yours : As she tells you rather glibly, you can hang around for chores, To take her, here and there, on nights when her sweetheart is busy, Of course, she’ll let you pay the bills — altho’ it makes you dizzy; The meanwhile, you are throbbing with sensations — more or less — As she strokes your hand caressingly until you answer — Yes! Her face lights up with pleasure — for she’s heard a step without! And you know — without her telling you — it’s H-I-M, beyond a doubt; And your Darling (?) all aflutter — leads you where you’ll find your hat, And before you know just how it happened— you’re outside the flat. Of course she begged you not to let her SWEETHEART see you leaving, (“As Heaven knows! I wouldn’t think of any Man deceiving!”) You go your way — all out of gear with everything that’s human — That is, of course, until you meet in time — another WOMAN! Helen Ferguson has received a proposal from a fan admirer who filled eight pages of foolscap paper to “pour out his soulful ardor.” You can make up your own joke on a fool and his foolscap. By Harry Burns This might be a wee bit belated, but however, it is in order. The night I was hurt at the “Goldwyn studios” I was dragged out from under those six horses by a couple of men whom in the excitement I didn’t get a chance to thank. But, Dick Rush, I remember, picked me up bodily after I was seated on the shaft of a circus wagon and discovered how badly I was hurt, and rushed me to the ambulance, aided by Arthur Stuart, who had to punch some chap, who in his excitement in trying to help carry me, grabbed a hold of the injured limb and was almost pulling it off, when Arthur couldn’t make him understand he was hurting me, had to actually hit him to make him come to his senses. Then to top it all off, when I was stretched out and Dr. Murphy was doing the necessary surgical work at the Culver City hospital, which I won’t speak of here, which was necessary, “David L. Hughes” stepped up to me, held my hand and whispered some little things into my ear that caused me to raise my eyes upward for comfort and help, and the effect that it had on me was wonderful, and he stayed with me until I was placed comfortably in bed and tucked in for the night. And as a parting shot, let it be known that Jack Allen was busier than a chicken trying to keep away from a mad dog, helping everyone that had been injured that night, including me. In the words of K. C. B., I THANK YOU. Phil Dunham claims that fairy tales should be read by effeminate men.

On Seventh Street, Corner Burlington Los Angeles, Calif. Demanding The Best! The fact that STEIN-BLOCH Clothes are good to look at is proven by the number of young men who insist upon obtaining Stein-Bloch models. We have a Stein-Bloch selection to suit every preference, from the conservative to the ultra smart. Let us show you. $45 to $65 Universal is coming down the home stretch with three of its biggest serials. “The Phantom Fortune,” starring William Desmond, has just been completed ahnost simultaneously with the finishing of Edward Laemmle’s “The Oregon Trail,” in which Louise Lorraine plays the leading feminine role opposite Art Acord and within the next fortnight “The Eagle’s Talone,” starring Ann Little will be ready. Relative to the latter, it is said Miss Little breaks several records staging thrills in this one and it is being heralded as her best screen effort in several seasons. * * * It’s a pretty dumb guy that won’t look at his engine two or three times while taking his girl out for a ride. Jack White wins the line this time.
