On the Camera Coast
THEY are making a strenuous effort to fatten Mary Philbin for fame. At the insistence of the executives at Universal City, little Mary has absorbed calories in every known form without success. She just cant acquire fat.
The studio has now employed a special physician who claims to know all about fat to dance in constant attendance at her every meal.
They feel that all Mary needs is poundage to be the greatest actress the screen has ever known. Sven Gade, the Danish director, who has just finished directing a picture with Mary says she is anyhow — fat or thin. Mr. Gade told me that he has seen all the great actresses of this generation here and in Europe. The greatest he ever saw was, of course, Duse ; the next, in the days of her youth was Astra Neilson, a Danish actress. Then comes Mary Philbin. She is like clay in the hands of a director. It is an extraordinary case of a sensitive, plastic personality. Mary is just exactly as good an actress as her director is good. No better; no worse.
She is now working under the direction of Rupert Julian on an elaborate production of a story called The Phantom of the Opera.
CJomeone has been circulating all sorts of stories about ^ Peter Pan and little Betty Bronson ; that she had failed in the part and the production has been stopped, etc., etc.
I have seen several reels of the picture. It will be a success. Little Miss Bronson is charming in the role. The Bronsons have been very much hurt over sensational accounts of their rescue from dire poverty by Betty's getting this role. The truth is, they had modest but adequate means.
Betty is terribly thrilled because a fortune-teller
"read the cards" for her on the Peter Pan set the
\ other day. She was an actress who had learned
/ her art from the Gypsies. She told Betty she would
— <^4 \ suddenly become rich at the age of twenty-nine.
\ The fortune-teller also peered into the future of
Douglas Fairbanks, Jr., who has been signed on a
long contract to play juvenile roles at the Lasky
studio. The cards told Doug, Jr., that all his life he is going to
be up and down — alternately broke and rich — which disturbed
the yOung man's peace of mind considerably.
House Peters recently ran away from Cameraland and indulged in what we call an ideal vacation in the land where swift mountain streams are rich, in trout. His only companion was an old guide, who shared with House the chores of the camp, including cleaning the fish and cooking them
