Douglas Fairbanks is living alone at Beverly Hills, the beautiful home estate which one sees in "He Comes Up Smiling."
Paul Conlon, former publicity man for Roscoe Arbuckle and a great friend of Bill Hart, has just changed from the Arbuckle Comedies over to the Bill Hart studios. Norma Talmadge's husband, Joseph Schenck, wanted Mr. Conlon to do the publicity for the Talmadge sisters and "Fatty" besides, but as it would have entailed endless trips to New York and the absences from the pretty little bride, whom Mr. Conlon has established in a cute Western bungalow, and as it had been Mr. Hart's wish for years to associate Mr. Conlon with his studio, the change was effected to everybody's satisfaction.

The day they started making "Battling Jane," a number of men put on make-up for Mr. Griffith so that he might select the Rube who woos the fighting feminine. Mr. Cannon was among those who had been told to make up for the try-out. He came from the mountains of Virginia, a long way back of the Blue Ridge Mountains, where his dad was a Baptist clergyman sent to preach good-will to the moonshiners.
