Katterjohn Writes Story for Lila Lee Progress is being made on the filming of Lila Lee's fourth Paramount vehicle, "Puppy Love," an original story prepared for her by Monte M. Katterjohn. A face new to Lasky productions will be found in the appearance of Charlie Murray, the Mack Sennett star, in the role of an old Irishman, for which part he was temporarily loaned by the Sennett company. Other members of Miss Lee's supporting cast are Helen Dunbar and Harold Goodwin. Director Roy Neill has been working during the past week on exterior scenes for this newest Katterjohn film. Patriotic Plays for Bessie Barriscale "Two-Gun Betty," Bessie Barriscale's latest production, contains no preachment or obvious lesson in patriotism, it is said, but nevertheless, in the light vein of comedy-drama it is a patriotic picture with a distant background of war. It is described as being thoroughly modern, of western locale. The picture, which was written and directed by Howard Hickman, and produced at the Brunton Studios in Los Angeles, will shortly be distributed through the W. W. Hodkinson Corporation. 43
