Once Over With
By J. B.
Howard C. brown, general manager of the Colorart Pictures, Inc., of Boston, called at the office and reported that all of his troupe had returned from Europe. The Colorart has just finished a two reel production in which Hope Hampton is the star while Leomce Perrett looked after the direction. Hope Hampton’s magnetism, together with her beauty of complexion, eyes, and hair lend themselves so well to the colorart that she is not only a star, but queen of the rainbow division as well.

Earl Hall Payne of the Kentucky Theatre, Lexington, Ky., has been in town for the past week on a 50-50 pleasure and business trip. Despite the fact that the musicians union handed Mr. Payne an ultimatum just before he left the South, he was optimistic and all smiles, and maybe there’s a reason as he may secure the services of Herman F. Siewert, one of the best organists in town. Lexington will have mellow melody again if Siewert goes south. * * *
Walter Eberhardi has picked out Round Island, one of the Thousand Islands, for his vacation spot. Walter leaves Tuesday. Too many jokes have been put over on the well known islands for me to try any wise cracks.

The Herald’s tipster makes the following suggestions to all vacationists : During the very hot weather, avoid eating too much raw meat, ride in patrol wagons as much as possible and avoid the hot pavement, smoke the mentholated “Spud” and keep the blood pressure down. If you do this there won’t be a cough in a thousand.

Sad-Eyed Langdon Makes a New One
Life’s no joke that’s why people like to laugh at it. Hence
Harry Langdon, whose actions are as funny as last year’s disappointment and his eyes as sad as today’s. Harry’s latest First National life-kidder is “Three’s a Crowd,” from which these scenes are taken, and shown with him below (at right) is Gladys McConnell, his new leading woman.
