The Fox corporation has kept George Walsh commuting to Florida off and on all winter. Consequently George appreciates home when he sees it. He is shown here with his nephew, young Jack Walsh, son of R. A. Walsh, the director, and his niece, Alice Hoppe, the daughter of his sister {Continued from page 78) Did you know that the King Vidor baby is now three months old? They gave a seven-course dinner in honor of the event, and Florence in the role of mother was prettier than she's been on the screen, which is going some. Florence Vidor just adores housekeeping, kids and hostessing. Mary Pickford has got back at Micky Neilan, her present director. Four years ago Mr. Neilan played Lieut.

Her director has not gotten over this "stall" yet. Meantime, Mary is making him roll over, climb, and do all sorts of stunts when it comes her turn to direct rehearsals. She says that rehearsals, like curses, come home to roost, and she thoroly enjoys her chance to crow.

The pink and white cake bore tell-tale candles, and there were lots of gifts in white paper with pink ribbons. We Hyland on Hollywood Boulevard in her car — a very attentive young gentleman steering the wheel, and a fiercelooking pup occupying the lone rear seat. Miss Hyland gave a dinner at her home, followed by a motor party to the Ship Cafe, Venice, where the guests danced until midnight.
