CLASSIC
This is the age of Youth, certainly. Here is little Bruce Guerin stopping the traffic in "The Gold Diggers," and right is Miss Callista Riddles, a featured player in "Mothers-InLaw." Below is. Wallace Beery proving a disputed point to Kathleen Clifford. They are Richard the LionHearted and Queen Berengeria, tho we always thought that was an ocean liner
and requested her to hand her a make-up box. Miss Pick ford is a very democratic young lady ; but "old dear" — well. The fact is that Miss Rickson has attained the venerable age of fourteen and that explains everything.
And as to Mary. . . . One day last week, one of the Los Angeles newspapers published a symposium of opinions from well-known citizens, mostly bank presidents and such, about what policy the city should pursue in its industrial future, etc. Among those quoted was Mary Pickford. Mary offered a plan of such sane, sagacious reasoning, such breadth of vision and withal of such practical and feasible value, that it is probable it will be preserved in permanent form.
There was a baseball game on the FairbanksPickford lot the other day in which Eddie Sutherland, the assistant to Charlie Chaplin, broke his wrist. To save questioning, Eddie had a card printed which he had the head waiter hand around to the guests at the cafe where everybody eats luncheon. The card said : "Believe it or not. I hurt my wrist playing baseball. It is not a permanent injury. It will be well in six weeks. Thank you."
Whether from policy or because the Hollywood sunshine has softened her heart, the lovely Pola Negri has changed her methods. Gone is the old hauteur. She loves everybody now. She says "My Tony_"*as she calls Senor Moreno, is the finest actor she has seen in America and that Herbert Bren,_ on is the best director she has
ever worked with. But she says, hereafter, she is going to do her acting in her own way and not let anybody bamboozle her into the idea that Americans demand restraint in acting. Not to be outdone by Mary Pickford's version of the same story, Pola's picture. "The Spanish Dancer," will have some of the most gorgeous sets ever seen in motion pictures.
That other brilliant Polish lady, Nazimova, is decorating Hollywood with her presence again. Nazimova looks charmingly young and beautiful and mysterious. Whenever you met anybody in Hollywood, they used to say "Howd' do" ; but now they say "Hello-o-o-o-o." When Nazimova does, it sounds very spiffy and cultured but when the others try it, it sounds very much like a yodeler practising his art.
Norma Talmadge has been held up with her new picture. "The Dust of Desire," by an untoward circumstance. Her director, Miss Frances Marion, has whooping-cough.
