lp>« ,„,,.JOTION PICTURr Greenroom Jottings (Continued front page 80) as explorer of the African and South American jungles. Enter Monsieur Victor Varconi — another Cecil B. De Mille find, who will make his first appearance in "Triumph,"' adapted from a Saturday Evening Post story by May Edington. Varconi, tho a Hungarian, is said to have the same subtle technique as that of Sessue Hayakawa, the popular Japanese star. No lost motion here, the burden of expression is placed upon the eyes and the mouth. Willard Louis has been selected by the Warner Brothers to play the part of George Babbitt in the Sinclair Lewis novel ''Babbitt.'' Mr. Louis won his laurels in the production of "Beau Brummel," as the Prince Regent, afterward King George the Fourth, and his interpretation is said to be second only to that of John Barrymore's. He also registered strong in "Daddies." His character in "Babbitt" will be that of a typical American business man. He will be supported by an all-star cast. They're off — "The Fast Steppers," a series of race-track two-reelers on the order of the "Leather Pushers," is being filmed by Universal. The stories are being adapted from Gerald Beaumont's turf stories titled the "Liformation Kid Series," and concern a racing enthusiast and a gambler. Most of the track scenes will be taken at Tia Juana. Billy Sullivan, the actor fighter who succeeded Reginald Denny in the "Leather Pushers," will play the lead. "The Empty Stall" will be the first story filmed. Duke R. Lee will play the part of Red Murdock, a redoubtable gambler. His brother's keeper — that's what Syd Chaplin has been for a number of years as executive of Charlie Chaplin's organization — they had agreed that there should be no conflict about the Chaplin name. But recently Syd has registered such a hit in "The Galloping Fish," "Her Temporary Husband," and "The Rendezvous," that it is rumored he will soon star in his own company. Syd Chaplin acknowledges that he has had an offer from the Ideal Film Company of London, and from the Vita of Vienna. Mr. Chaplin does not say whether his answer has been yea or nay, but he vows that he will not tie himself down with any sort of a permanent make-up, as he knows his famous brother has found such a trademark costume has its drawbacks. .\nd now Baby Peggy's Mamma, Mrs. Montgomery, is broadcasting the fact that she's bought a beautiful new home for the young star in Laurel Canyon, California, in order that she might have plenty of space in which to play. She also wants it understood that Peg of the Movie Fan's Heart has plenty of time to play and never acts on Sunday — censors take note. Baby Peggy's second feature play will be a picturization of "LIclen's Babies," by John Habberton, that delightful story of humor and human vicissitudes, that has withstood the onslaught of best sellers for seventy }'ears, and is still head and shoulders above many. William Seiter, who has just finished directing "Daddies," will put the Baby thru her rollicking paces. The tabloid form in everything is the twentieth century complex.
