Russell Ball When you want people for a mob scene, call on Ethel Jackson. In one picture she played eight different parts. A plain case of where one's a crowd Arthur Stone — a rolling one, headed for success. He may be gathering little moss, but he is attracting something more valuable — attention — for characterizations Out Hollywood Way By Dorothy Manners Stars in the Daylight THE big stars of Hollywood are becoming more and more democratic. For a long time no player of dramatic standing would consent to shoot scenes on the streets of Hollywood surrounded by the staring mob. In deference to this, most of the big studios built street sets which boasted bank buildings, stores, garages, traffic signals and everything. Only comedy companies saved expenses by working out in the open. But lately I have spotted Clara Bow, William Haines. Harold Lloyd and Virginia Brown Faire busily at work in front of some building in Hollywood. The day Clara Bow shot scenes in front of the Bank of Italy, one excited tourist lady waved frantically at a friend parked across the street and yelled : "Annie, come see Alice White!" Molly O'Day Climbing SATURD.AY afternoon tea at the new Roosevelt Hotel is becoming as compulsory as Wednesday lunch at the Montmartre. At a recent get-together, Molly O'Day gave away the dancing trophy, which was won by Sally Phipps. After the important business of the dancing contest was over, Molly confided that her next picture would probably be a Molly O'Day production. Stardom is coming quickly to these new kids. Molly has had no particularly outstanding success, but her consistent releases have kept her so much in the public eye that she is worthy box-office material. The Female of the Wampas There's a new movie club. For a long time "Our Club" and "The Regulars" were about the only girls' clubs in Hollywood, but now along comes the Wampas Girls, made up of the Wampas Baby Stars of this year. The girls got so friendly that they organized a club to meet every Monday night. Lina Basquette is president. She ought to have a lot of fun calling Lupe \'elez to order and getting Sue Carol to give a little lisping speech. Modest Little Dolores! of midsummer can hold little T^ixis Fox tells an amusing story on * Dolores del Rio. Finis is the scenario writer of the Edwin Carewe-Del Rio unit and also the brother of Carewe. He says the three of them were lunching one day between scenes of a picture and some one remarked on how splendidly they teamed together. Finis says Dolores mulled that over for a moment and then nodded her head gravely: "Yes," she agreed, "thees is right. Where Finis is weak, Eddie is strong ; and where Eddie is weak. Finis is strong, and where they are both weak / am strong." Buddy Broadway Bound BUDDY Rogers, more formally called Charles, has left for New York. It's Buddy's first trip. Will he have a good time, or not? I ask you. ( Continued on page 87) 61 The prospect heat waves terror for Doris Martel
