many musicians have gathered at the house on Wednesday evenings. It is the house formerly occupied by the Pick fords, you know. Mary came of age — that is in California, but it will be three years before she's of age in New York, according to state laws and the terms of her contract with Mr. Zukor — on April 1st and, of course, there was an especially big party with Mary a very pretty and very charming hostess.
Wallace Reid has been traveling north, taking a vacation and doing a lead in "The Rotters," which was shown here at the Little Theater. He has been simply idolized in the California towns visited by this company. They call his motion picture company "The Road Show" around the studio lot, for they are nearly always off on location. Seldom does the handsome Wally see his home-town for more than two days at a time. He enjoys the out-of-door life, tho. Too bad "The Rotters" cant take Mr. Reid back to New York when it goes on tour thru the principal °ities of the U. S. A. Every one knows he would make a great hit, for he's really dandy in it.
And, of course, every one has been talking about the marriage of Mary and "Doug." A great many people resent the upheaval which is being made about her divorce, for with different divorce laws in every state in the Union it's difficult to know just what to do. Every one agrees that they want Mary to be happy. For the last few years she has worked very hard and undoubtedly the proposed trip to
Europe will do both Mr. and Mrs, Fairbanks a world of good. At pres. ent, they are, both of them, finishing their new productions so that they may set off with a clear conscience. It is probable, however, that they will work while on the other side.
Ruth Stonehouse and Helen Ferguson are working at the same studio again. When they met at Metro, each about to begin on a different production, it brought back the old days at Essanay. Then Ruth was a star and Helen an extra girl, worshipping at her shrine, but Helen has come right along and is doing very fine work, so they say. Of course, she and Ruth are having fine times together.
The other day I encountered an extra weeping bitterly on the Goldwyn lot, and she explained that she had to make up all over again, because Hayes Hunter, a dynamic director for the drama "Earthbound," has all his people hysterical with the wealth of imagination he injects. Even the men on Mr. Hunter's set go all to pieces. Visitors, who stand afar, are sometimes convulsed by the director's antics, but those in front of the camera tell me they never have been so moved or impressed. The story is tense and spiritualism plays a strong hand in its fashioning. Naomi Childers walks about like a forlorn "widder," weeping disconsolately.
