Close Up (Oct 1920 - Aug 1923)

14 SCREENING WHERE THE SCREENING’S GOOD Broadsides By ARGUS Another one of Jay Eller’s: The hand that rocks the cradle and rules the world is now handing out dimes to see sheik pictures. * * ’Tis a wise young man who takes his girl home late and then stays for breakfast. * * * This is one of A1 Herman’s new ones. Marjorie Daw says that the only trouble with a second-hand car is that theer is too much walking to do. * * * Many an intoxicated man has said that he was going “straight” home, but has he ever done it? asks Jimmy Aubrey. * * * Harry Webb says that he is going to do some “reel” fishing at Catalina this coming summer. That’s a ‘real” joke for you. * * * Fred Spencer is starring in “Gasoline Love.” Is this just 20 cents a gallon? * * * Betty Compson is making “A Woman With Four Faces.” Oh, the deceitful thing! * * * “Can a Woman Love Twice?” is the title of Ethel Clayton’s new picture. And it will cost you just 50 cents to find out at the picture show. * * * There should be a home for the feeble-minded in Hollywood. They could rent a great many rooms to gag men. We think Vin Moore wrote this. BURN’S HOT SHOTS Let’s make this a bumper year. * * Forget and forgive, let’s start all over again. * * * Remember the fellow that gives is better appreciated. 5jc Don’t walk on those that are down. Watch your step. * * * There is always a comeback to everything you do. * Save your pennies. No one knows what’s coming tomorrow. Think of your childhood lessons, weren’t they interesting? * * * Things and time move in cycles. Don’t let ’em run over you. * * * Never take “no” for an answer, even the tides of the ocean change. 5*C Face the world squarely and you will keep going ahead. =K * * Do unto others, as you wish them to do unto you. * * * That’ll be all for the present. * * * C. L. Theuerkauf wants to know this. What do elephants use to keep the moths out of their trunks? * * * Myrtle Stedman has her little fun. It’s a good thing that women don’t say everything with flowers. * * * A chap is pretty badly bunged up when he has a cracked lip and his voice breaks. Bemie Durning is getting better. * * * JACKIE TO BE PRINCE Rags may be royal raiment when worn for virtue’s sake — Jackie Coogan certainly agrees with this statement and, moreover, he feels that he has demonstrated it in many of his pictures. In fact, outside of “Oliver Twist,” his most recently released photoplay, Jackie has worn rags and tattered clothes in every production he has made. Now Jackie feels that he is entitled to a part in which he will be seen wearing really nice clothes — perhaps even gorgeous ones. The kind fairies who were present when Jackie came into the world, and who have since seen to it that his every wish has been fulfilled in return for the joy he brings to so many millions, are going to take care that this wish of Jackie’s, also, comes true. In his next picture, the first of his series for Metro, Jackie plays the role of Crown Prince Ferdinand William Otto. The story of this forthcoming picture is being adapted by C. Gardner Sullivan and Eve Unsell from Mary Roberts Rhinehart’s beloved novel, “Long Live the King,” which originally appeared in a leading national magazine. It is a tale of romance, adventure, mystery, and it gives the youthful star ample opportunity for the multiform appeal that has brought him his well deserved populraity. Edith Johnson carried a joke too far the other day. She went right past the editor’s office. * * * There never will be a camera strong enough to photograph the soul of the movie actor. Thank God! Henry J, Hebert is responsible for this. * * * Times are really getting better. You can buy a nice forty-dollar suit now for just sixty. Norman Taurog wrote this. * * * Lige Conley wants to know if the reformers are thinking of putting lights in tunnels, so that would-be lovers won’t be able to kiss. * * * Hughie Fay says they have an exsaloon bouncer at his studio to lick the postage stamps. * * * Anyone can be connected with the best people in the city — if they have a telephone, says Rupert Julian.
