This little girl is now doing a picture with Mary Pickford, and has supported many notables. She's just climbing up the ladder by doing smaller parts well, but she's an emotional bit of humanity, and comes naturally by her "temperament," because her mother was Spanish and her father French. Some one suggested that it wovild be lots of fun to pose Norma and Beatrice for stills, wearing the same expression, and then have the output used for a magazine puzzle. Louise Lovely is working with William Farnum in at least three pictures this spring. While at Palm Springs recently, on location, two bees stung Miss Lovely — and the men all retired to soft music, while the ladies of the company gathered mud from the baths here and condoled with and nursed poor Louise. You remember that Charlie Ray started in as a super at the old Belasco here, and followed this up by vaudeville and light opera? He's not forgotten how to sing, and has just started a quartet at Culver City, including himself, Walt Hiers, Bert Woodruff and Walt Perkins. During rest intervals, the boys are entertaining the whole outfit down there. Eight companies have been working at Universal, showing quite a bit of activity on this enormous plant lot. Allen Holubar has begun to direct "The Light" — the working title of Dorothy Phillips' newest. In this, Mrs. Holubar will take a dual role. Seems like every star at some time of his or her life has to wade thru a dual — or should one say DUEL where the men are concerned? Ah, these trite themes ! However, Mr. Holubar wrote this story and it circles fair Dorothy, so let's reserve judgment. Robert Anderson, of "Heart of Humanity," will play a character role. Gloria Swanson's mail has just doubled daily since she signed a two-year contract with Lasky studio, and she's quite an important young lady since the wonderful work she did in "Dont Change Your Husband." She is featured now in "For Better, For Worse," and will wear thousands of dollars' worth of gowns, and that's no press tale, for we saw the materials and there will be about 24 complete outfits. The College of the Immaculate Heart, at Franklin and Vine Sts., Hollywood, is the home of many movie kiddies. Katherine Pyle, Margarita Fisher's niece, well remembered in many of her American Beauty films, is there, also the Lee children, little Miss Moran, and too many others to give an itemized list. One of the little girls had two pictures of young men on her walls, and the Mother Superior said kindly, "Dearie, we cant allow pictures of movie actors on the bedroom walls; if one were permitted to have such, all would want _ to follow suit and we dont approve of it." The wee one said, "But those two actors are my uncles; cant I have my very own uncles hanging up here?" And Mother Genevieve had to admit that she COULD and SHOULD. May Allison had a very strenuous time while taking scenes for her picture, "The Isle of Intrigue." She and the members of her company were caught in a terrible storm while on board a yacht. All hands turned to the pumps, and were finally rescued by a fisherman. Across the Silversheet (Continued from page 68) but personally, I feel that Miss Stewart should be given an opportunity to express greater depths than are apparent in this picture. The story is that of a princess who is shipwrecked and taken ashore where she obtains a livelihood by masqueradingas a maid in a hotel. She promptly falls in love with a rich guest, whom an adventuress is pursuing. There is very little need of the second and third reel, for we know Anita will bestow her royal hand upon Jack Holt in the end. However, the story has been presented in verbal-tractive settings and Miss Stewart is good to look at— only who told her to wear that bathing suit? Jack Holt is manly and attractive as the hero, while Juanita Hansen is a plump but pretty adventuress. THE GIRL DODGER — PARAMOUNT Charlie Ray is an artist. "The Girl Dodger" _ proves once more his careful and convincing handling of a role. Here he assumes the part of a college grind who blunders into a love affair with his friend's fiancee. At a dance he loses his trousers, and the following situations are jolly good fun. One is willing to strain his credulity for the sake of the good laugh Ray gives us — while running thru the fashionable hotel in his B. V. D.'s. Jane Novak plays the leading feminine role attractively. THE MAN HUNTER — FOX William Farnum literally fights his way thru these five reels. In reel No. 1 his best friend cheats him of his fortune and his girl — and for four reels Farnum's one motive is revenge. In the fifth, he loves again and recovers his fortune. Would that all things ended as well as the conventional movie. Louise Lovely lives up to her name. JOHNNY GET YOUR GUN — ARTCRAFT Never has anything bored me quite so much as "Johnny Get Your Gun," unless it were the other Fred Stone pictures. Mr. Stone is unfortunately as bad on the screen as he is good on the stage. However^ this may not be his crime— but that of his producers. The plot of the present offense is too banal to bear repetition. An all around good cast is hurt by poor photography. Mary Anderson alone showed moments of promise. WHEN A GIRL LOVES — JEWEL PRODUCTIONS Lois Weber has handled this primitive story much more forcefully than she did "A Midnight Romance." Mildred Harris (Mrs. Charlie Chaplin) is billed as the star; however, to William Stowell go the stellar honors. The story is a vivid one of a man in rebellion against the world. In order to consummate a robbery, he impersonates a parson. His congregation's simple faith in him is the leaven that raises the best in him to the surface and he becomes converted to the virtuous life. All in all, a vivid, straightforward story — well told on the silversheet. RECLAIMED MC RAE-WEBSTER This is a multireeled melodrama with a punch in every reel. It is the story of a little girl who goes thru all sorts of troubles, even to an attempt at ending her own life, before she finds ultimate happiness. Mabel Julienne Scott makes a very vivid heroine, being especially effective in her unhappy moments. Niles Welch plays opposite Miss Scott.
