Our Animated Monthly of News and Views By SALLY ROBERTS INDIVIDUAL dressing-rooms are the latest fad with the folk of the shadow-screen. In fact, most of the companie.1 are presenting their stars with tiny* bungalows situated oi? the studio lot and these have become very popular. Both Mildred Harris Chaplin and Anita Stewart have the cutest bungalow dressing-rooms. Each is a quaint Queen Anne cottage, embodying a kitchen, bath, reception room and dressing-room. Long French windows, with low iron rails and trailing vines make the exteriors very attractive. The Selig studios, where they work, are so very far from any restaurant that the individual kitchens are necessities. The cottages remind one of Humperdinck's "Hansel and Gretel" cottages, for they nestle in groves of eucalyptus trees. Both stars are delighted with them and Anita hates to leave hers, even to go East for the summer months. Of course, she'll return in the fall — again laden down with exquisite creations, destined to make ravishing"1 her productions. She is busy working on "Harriet and the Piper," the story by Kathleen Norris, now that she has finished "The Yellow Typhoon." And, talking of scenarios, Ethel Gillette, daughter of an ex-governor of California, has been engaged to write stories for Mildred Chaplin. She is, too, a close friend and excellent results are expected from the con Above, Agnes Ayres and Pat O'Malley enjoy a tete-a-tete between the scenes of their new picture, and, left, Alice Lake caricatures Bert Lytell as "Beauty" Steele in "The Right of Way" genial combination. Olive Thomas is expected to arrive here any day, and, of course, Husband Jack Pickford is all anticipation. He has had the home all prepared for her, and she is to stay long enough to make one picture anyhow. Jack really wants her to give up pictures and settle down, but Olive doesn't see things just that way. Conrad Nagel has been here some time now. He came out originally to play in "The Fighting Chance," the Robert W. Chambers story, and Famous Players-Lasky have signed him as a leading man with a long-term contract. So watch for Conrad in their new pictures. Bad news ! Good-by, for a time at least, to slapstick and water scenes, hose-squirting and cheesespearing stunts. Roscoe (Fatty) Arbuckle has just signed a long-term contract as a legitimate star. The stork visited 'the Beverly Hills home of Mr. and Mrs. William Desmond, the other day, and left a baby girl, who will be known as Mary Joanna. The parents declare that she shows no signs of moving picturitis yet — however, time will tell. New stars have appeared in the firmament — Wanda Hawley and Bebe Daniels both now number among Realart's stellar lights, and the best sort of stories are promised for them. And Richard Barthelmess, too, has graduated into stardom. D. W. Griffith has promised him starring vehicles and Dick's many friends in sunny California are as delighted over his good fortune as he is himself. The Minter home has been the scene of much gaiety lately. Mrs. Shelby has given Mildred Harris Chaplin and three musicales ill Anita Stewart present Man honor of Margaret ager J. D.
