She did it by going on a regular diet which consisted largely of egg and milk drinks. She is back at work again at the Metro studios making “Rouged Lips,” the first of her six starring pictures for the coming season and weighs 103 pounds. Speaking of versatility, be it known that Lloyd Ingraham, who plays the role of M. de Kercadiou in “Scaramouche,” was the director of “Twentythree and a Half Hours Leave,” a feature comedy that was credited with being one of the best pictures of 1921. * * * Maudeen Mays again: The report is out that some of our society leaders have made the new ruling that they will call upon their husbands at least once a week now. * * * Ramon Novarro, who portrays the title role in Rex Ingram’s production of “Scaramouche,” at the age of 16 was considered one of the foremost pianists in Mexico. * * * Clairs Adams just finished “The White Silence.” Now for the burlesque entitled “The Dark Noise.” * * * Pola Negri’s next to be “world beater.” We almost got mixed up and said egg beater. * * * Why is it that when you are sold a bottle of beer containing one-half of one per cent, you wonder why the seller should make at least 150 per cent out of the same beer? inquires Jay Eller. GREAT SCOTT! Richard Thomas, the young producer-director, will film a modern version of “The Lady of the Lake,” Sir Walter Scott’s poetic masterpiece of old Scotland. This announcement comes from the Thomas’ offices at the Hollywood studios where Mr. Thomas is producing the second of a series of six-part features for independent distribution. At the completion of his third pictures of the current series Mr. Thomas expects the adaptation of “The Lady of the Lake” to be completed. Actual production will commence about the middle of August, says Mr. Thomas. Northern California and Oregon lakes will form the background for “The Lady of the Lake,” which will be a ten-reel production. Wyndham Martyn, noted English novelist and authority on Sir Walter Scott’s works, has been engaged as literary advisor. According to Mr. Thomas, Estelle Taylor and Rod La Rocque will be cast in the two principal juvenile roles, around which the main action of the poem is developed. Edward Sloman is a painter of note, being equally adept with oils, water colors or pastels. * * * Alice Terry, one of the featured players in “Scaramouche,” has never appeared under any director other than her husband, Rex Ingram. * * * Sign on theatre reads: “Adam’s Rib” made by Cecil B. DeMille. This must have been ticklish business on his part, says Pauline Garon.
