Michigan A»..Det.t 1545Chicago 124 Sonny (Continued from page 71) Over near the Cahuenga Pass, right where the hills bob and dip and form pockets for fields of beautiful flowers to nestle in, Mr. Kerrigan bought a half-acre of ground. He designed the whole house, but had an architect draw working plans. It conforms to no particular school, and so one finds a patio nosing a chalet effect, a fountain talking away for the benefit of the kitchen sink. It is most beautiful in conception because original, comfortable, roomy and situated on a most alluring home site in Hollywood. It is a one-story bungalow, because Mother Kerrigan must not climb stairs. But there is a basement under the front of the house with rooms for chauffeur and maid, and the garage built in under the big living-room. _ In the back there is just one story, and in front of the house the lawn descends in terraces. At the back one finds the patio walled in, the fountain playing in the center. French windows open onto the large porches. There's a kitchen small enough to prevent useless stepping about, but large enough to accommodate everything Mother Kerrigan needs. The pantry opens off the kitchen at one side, and ' the breakfastroom, which is always a California feature, invites one to step out of the kitchen and enjoy the percolator perk the morning beverage. Of course, there is a formal diningroom, bathrooms, a monstrous livingroom which is large enough to give a young ball, a long wide hall running the length of this L-shaped house, and bedrooms enough for the family and — but no, one must not anticipate. Each bedroom has a specially designed dresser which is placed between two windows, with an electric lighting system besides, defying one to wear cravats awry or un-marceled locks. There are other "built-in" features besides the dressers, however, and every possible modern contrivance has been installed. "You see, the bungalow we are in is just rented furnished," explained Mr. Kerrigan. "Such a brown, ugly, dingy old thing it is. For once in my life I will have the joy of selecting an entire houseful of furniture. The outside of this house will be white with green shingles. I think that is so restful in this sunny land, dont you?" One of the loveliest spots, very odd in conception, is the den for Sonny. At one end of the hall a rail separates a raised room from the floor level. Three steps lead to an irregularly shaped den with wide windows opening on a beautiful view. Mr. Kerrigan confided that he is coaxing the Pickfords to buy the hill seen from this window, and there to build an Italian villa on which he may feast his eyes. Probably all Hollywood has not a lovelier setting to offer "Little Mary" for her charms. One can imagine her darting about like a butterfly among the carnation fields which brighten the hill. But such a big house as this is for just Mother Kerrigan and Jack? Were they really going to live there alone? The Gosp did not like to inquire. She turned to Mr. Kerrigan with another question. "How was Miss Wilson selected to play opposite you?" "Lois Wilson won the beauty contest in Alabama, you know, and Universal signed her up right after that. She came straight from school and never had any previous training. She did such good work at Universal City that when I left I wanted her to continue with me, of course, and so we've been together ever since," continued the star of "A Man's Man." "She's the dearest little thing, very quiet and retiring, a regular home-body." Mr. Kerrigan stopped suddenly. The Gosp was thinking how lucky Lo — that is, any woman would be who was allowed to be a home-body in that pretty new home. And everybody loves Mother Kerrigan, who is a true type of the hospitable Southern woman, for she raised her family in Louisville, Ky. Lucky Sonny ! To be a successful screen hero and have a congenial home life is surely paradise enow. Queens of the Screen — Can You Tell Who They Are? By JOHN C. ADAMS In line with meatless, wheatless and heatless days we are getting starless nights, as the picture theaters in the leading cities recently closed up on "Starless Tuesdays." Here is a pair of stanzas each of which conceals a movie star. Try to discover them on some starless night when you cant go to see your favorites dance across the screen. 1 The first is in marvelous — it's not hard to find; The second's in charming — just one of a kind. The third is in rapture — a meaningful word; The fourth in canary — a favorite bird. The fifth is in pretty — it is true, there's no doubt; The sixth is in Ireland — can you find that out? The seventh's in excellent — nothing so sure ; The eighth is in kindness — a positive lure. The ninth is in famous — a recognized fact; The tenth is in love — you must use it with tact. The eleventh's in married — dont step on my toes ! The twelfth's in director — the man who sure knows. If you get them out singly and add them up well, A great film-star's name the letters will spell. 2 Take a letter from star — you're sure to be right, One letter from sunshine — there's no one so bright. A letter from beautiful, sure and it's true, Take a letter from sweet and you'll get at the clue. Take one letter from heart — it's a big one I'll bet, And a letter from sweetheart — she's every one's pet. One letter from violet — that's not her name, And a letter from heavenly — she's risen to fame. Grab a letter from white wings, altho she has none, Just a letter from patience — that has not gone. Take a letter from Vitagraph — that is the place, And one letter from spiteful — of that there's no trace. Now write down all the letters, And a name will sure be seen Of a beautiful movie star — The sweetest on the screen. 1A6£
