Five productions will be filmed a year, the first of which will be shot during July and August. Naomi Childers is now Mrs. Luther Reed — to be more explicit, she married Mr. . Reed, who is both a scenario writer and playwright, at her New York apartment, during the month of June. The last reports from Miss Childers declared she would not leave the screen. Hope Hampton has succumbed to the vaudeville fever, and is, at present, resting between pictures, so to speak, by appearing in a vaudeville sketch. Needless to say. Miss Hampton is an energetic young woman. That's hardly our idea of a vacation. No longer will Herbert Rawlins on please in the role of leadingman. Universal persuaded him to sign on the dotted line, and he is to be a star. This starring contract is a reward for his excellent work in a recent production. Photograph by Puffer Mae Murray and her directorial husband, Robert Leonard, are now at work in a New York studio, on their first independent production. "Peacock Alley" is the story's name. There is a rumor afoot that John Barrymore will play the title role in "The Christian." Vitagraph produced this, some time ago, with Earle Williams in the leading-role, and it proved to be one of the most popular stories ever shadowed. ' "Molly O," which, marks Mabel Normand's return to the Mack Sennett fold, boasts an excellent cast, including such popular players as Jack Mulhall and Lowell Sherman. It is interesting to note that the Madge Kennedy production, " Oh, Mary Be Careful, " produced when Miss Kennedy was under_the Goldwynjsanner, some time ago. has been purchased by the Pioneer Feature Films Corpora(iNtion, and will probably be released under the title of The mirth, manifested by Constance Talmadge and Harrison Ford, over the shoe exhibited by Director Chet Whithey, is occasioned by the fact that it is symbolic — of Constance's recently married state and her forthcoming production, "Wedding Bells" "Spoiled Child." Altho this picture was made by Goldwyn in 1917, it was not released by that company, as it was not up to their standard, and they felt it would hurt their prestige, and the prestige of Madge Kennedy. We are glad to acquaint our readers with the true facts of the case. Betty Ross Clarke, in private life, Mrs. Lieutenant Arthur Collins, has returned from her honeymoon, and is playing opposite Harry Carey in "Partners." Barbara Bedford writes and requests that her new address be given as the Willat Studios, Culver City, California. Her mail has been g o i n g astray, and Miss Bedford is anxious to receive the letters her friends take the time to write her. Judith Jordon, one of the 1920 Fame and Fortune winners, is at work in the Robert Carson Productions. The first two productions are "In Texas" and "Double Steal." Norma Talmadge has been resting in the White Mountains. Her next picture will be "Smilin' Through," in which Jane Cowl scored such a success behind the footlights. Alice Brady and her husband, James Crane, are now abroad, where it is not unlikely Miss Brady will do an Irish story with Emerald Isle, itself, for her stage. At any rate, the efficient Alice is combining business with pleasure, and she will bring several stories back for future production. When Wallace Reid was in New York, lately, he telephoned Mrs. Reid, who remained in California, every evening. Most husbands could take a lesson in loyalty and consideration from Wally. Some say that Dorothy G-ish and her husband, James Rennie, are going to do stock, in Toronto, Canada, this summer. If so, it is Dorothy's first appearance behind the footlights. Guess James Rennie wants his old school friends to meet his charming bride. You cant blame him.
