WITH the big disarmament convention now under full swing at Washington, wouldn't it be fitting for Bill Hart, Tom Mix, Buck Jones, Harry Carey, et ah, to take seats at the affair?
We were pleased to hear that the title of Cecil B. De Mille's next production is "Saturday Night" because now we can rest' assured that he will give us more excellent bathroom scenes.
As Hi Speed himself says : "There's one good thing about film productions anyway — they strand no actors."
Somehow or other we always find it difficult to get excited when a close-up shows the poor heroine shedding tears, because we feel intuitively that somewhere just outside the camera lines the assistant director is standing with a sliced onion.
Which reminds us of the exhibitor up in Iowa who demanded, in booking "Way Down East," that he be given the regular Broadway cast.
Everytime we go to the theater and have the war tax deducted from us, we wonder what war we are paying for.
The bathing beauties according to all records confine /Tvtheir aquatic feats to photographers' studios.

Famous Remarks:
William S. Hart: "After my next picture I will retire from the screen."
Mack Sennett: "The Eighteenth ' Amendment doesn't worry me a bit. My bathing girls were always dry."
Roy Moulton doesn't believe in signs any more. He saw one in the window of a fish store recently that read : "If it swims — we sell it." He went in, but found they didn't have any bathing beauties in stock.
One of the difficult feats in viewing the movies nowadays is the affecting of an air of interest in the highbrow music they are serving, so that people will think you understand it.
Now that the leading women have all bobbed their hair, who can they get to play the title role in the coming production of "Lady Godiva" ?
There is perhaps no little grounds for the argument that the main trouble with the movies is that the producers pay in the neighborhood of fifteen dollars for a story and then lavish $150,000 on mob scenes, young villages, and mammoth sets. But from many of the stories we have seen on the screen of late, we feel that even at that rate the author has been handsomely paid.
