Needless to say, it is one of the most fashionable and exclusive hotels in existence. Speaking of affaires de cccur, where is the romance of yesterday? We refer advisedly to that of Charlie and Pola. Little gossipy breezes wafted from California are linking Pola's name with that of a new admirer, William Tilden, the tennis champion. Can it be that Pola prefers tennis shoes to Charlie's original make? For ourselves if Charlie should tuck in his toes as Mary has tucked up her curls, the sunshine of our smile would never be the same. And by the way, there's danger of it. He's directed a stunning tragedy. Suppose he should leave us cold for directing? Wouldn't that freeze your risibles? Does Corinne Griffith's suit for divorce from her director-husband, Webster Campbell, following in the wake of other such divorces, mean that husbands shouldn't be directors and directors shouldn't be husbands? In consideration of. prominent directorhusbands and star-wives we should hope not, but temperament does play havoc even with the "perfect marriage." There are cases enough to prove it. Has Pearl White left the quiet solitude of a French convent? Rumor comes from Paris that Pearl is now making a film special for a French motion-picture company. The picture is a mystery drama — the kind that Miss White revels in, and romps out of. The French love her nerve. Players come and players go but the camera-crank grinds on forever. The Goldwyn-George Fitzmaurice producing unit which has been in Rome, Italy, filming Hall Caine's "The Eternal City," recently returned to New York with eighteen thousand feet of film and yards of real adventures. Irene Fenwick and Lionel Barrymore were married; Mrs. Richard Bennett spent five weeks in a hospital, the result of a motor accident; and Barbara La Marr adopted another kid — a little two-yearold Italian, this time. When Barbara cabled the Ritz Carlton Hotel for accommodations for herself, she requested that the management fit up an adjoining room for a nursery. If Barbara makes location trips to many more foreign countries she will have a little League of Nations in her home before she gets thru. Charlie, the famous motion-picture elephant, has been sentenced to die. Charlie is to "walk the plank" — that is. lie is to be towed out on a barge in the Pacific and told to step off. If he refuses, the Pacific fleet will have to take over the job and fire on him. The carrying-out of the death penalty on an elephant is not a simple matter. Charlie turned bad actor during the filming of "Brass Bottle" and attacked his trainer, nearly killing him. It was not his first offence — Charlie has killed five men and participated in innumerable rampages, since his arrival in this country twenty years ago. He is one hundred and eighty-three years old and has acted in one hundred and eighty pictures. The honeymoon trail for cinema stars is like nothing less than the eternal last scene, where the united couple, after a warm and long embrace, wander leisurely down a never-ending path bordered with roses. Marguerite (Continued on page 84) Betty Compson is seen below with Marie Ault in a scene from one of the productions in which she is being filmed in an English studio, namely, "Woman to Woman"
