EXHIBITORS HERALD AND MOTOGRAPIIY Did jaw see where they rounded up 150 periscopes last week over dear ol* Lon'on way? Here's one they missed. Why is it every time the police nab some girl for shooting some gent, marrying a wealthy gink, 'er blowing a safe, in the papers she's "a moving picture actress?" The latest is Anna Dorin, an airplane inspector, who stole government plans for a Liberty motor, it is said. D' jever hear of her. No, neither did we. Say. that's huntin' trouble we say. Henry Ford's going to start a weekly. Several names have been suggested for the publication. One starts with an "F" and ends with an "R" and has two "Vs" in it. Fable About a Lion and an Actor An animal trainer approached William Duncan in the Vitagraph outdoor studio at Hollywood last week and asked Bill if he would use a nice lion in one of the episodes of "The Man of Might." The trainer had the King of the Jungle with him and first attracted the Director-Star's attention by having the beast sniff at Bill's heels during the taking of a scene. Mr. Duncan objected to this playfulness and the trainer sought to assure him by explaining that the lion was very docile, having been brought up on milk: "So was I brought up on milk — but I eat meat now," said Duncan, as he requested the man to tie the beast outside. There doesn't seem to be a whole lota harmony in the Caruso family. What's this? The liveried office boy has just handed us a deckle-edged envelope with the Windsor Castle coat of arms mi it. Probably some of the nobility trying to grab off a little space. Isn't it a fright to what length some people will go to get their names in the papers. Shaw, it wasn't anything but an advertisement for a new brand of pictures. Some people have a crust, using expensive stationery and getting one all fussed up. Pete Schmid (excuse us again, Pete, our mistake — Smith) writes that he had a nice stewed piece of rubber boot for Thanksgiving. Some people have all the luck, eh? Especially the P. A.'s. As for us, we had the side of a cow, the outside, with the hair removed, but it wasn't tender, nor stewed. Even the gravy was tough eatin'. But speaking of eats, did you see that story about Dusty Farnum 'er Bill or Franklyn, anyway it was one of 'em. He looked a snake in the eye and made it quail. Can you beat that. Say. with an eye like that he hadn't ought to be in the picture biz. He ought to be out in the woods. Maybe if he'd look a sparrow in the eye he'd make it turkey, er fawncy looking a tree in the trunk and making it bark. He'd get $15 a week in vodeville doing a turn like that at least. // the (jm'cnnncnt doesn't put a stop to it that airplane that's going to make a trans-continental flight will be loaded down with mail from the film colony and there won't be any space left for anything else. Doug's going to send Joe Tumulty a personal letter and now Mary Miles Minter has written the President in u'hich she says she hopes she may be able to salute Mr. Wilson as our president for another term. May We Ask What Diff. It Makes The N. Y. Review asks who the illustrious movie star was who, when asked while at lunch in the Claridge hotel, if she took the Literary Digest, replied, "No, I take Pinkham's Little Liver Pills." Say, didn't Tyrone Power hand the M. P. an awful whallop in lhat recent interview. Mr. Power (according to the interview) says: "Motion picture acting — is merely making faces." "In the movies I have seen a director take a handsome young plumber's assistant and make a leading man out of him in three months." Wadja think of that? /. R. M.
