If the rumor has a basis of truth and is bound to come out sooner or later, the papers are asked to present the matter fairly in return for the facts and photos. XJ owever, the next-to-the-last people to hear most rumors are the publicity departments whose business it is to furnish news about the stars. The last people to hear them are generally the people concerned. The Goldwyn people did not learn of the tragic accident which resulted in the death of Kate Lester, their own contract player, until two days after it occurred, when the Sunday editions called up and asked for pictures of the actress to use in obituaries ! The first that the Lasky lot heard about Pola's recent encounter with a burglar was from newspaper head-lines. Pola, of course, being a vivid personality, attracts rumors as a magnet attracts steel. Everything she does — and everything she doesn't do — is talked and written about. The ChaplinNegri affair received more space in the public print than the doings of the League of Nations ; the feud between the Polish star and Gloria Swanson began to be talked about long before the two actresses even met. The recent rumors of an engagement between Pola and Rod La Rocque were so wide-spread that Rod wrote back from Paris saying that they were embarrassing him over there, and asking that for Pola's sake and his own the rumors be denied. Every once in a while one rumor about Miss Negri crops up without any apparent reason, and that is the one usually headlined, "Relative of Pola Negri Discovered in Dire Poverty." Not long ago the Los Angeles Herald telephoned the Paramount studio that their Santa Barbara correspondent had found a cousin of Pola running a cigar-stand on a coast steamer, physically wrecked by the war, and in abject need. No sooner was this report proved untrue than a shabbily dressed woman presented herself at the studio gate with a claim that she was Miss Negri's sister. Over a dozen "poverty-stricken relatives" have been "discovered" since Pola came to Hollywood two years ago, and not one of them was authentic, except as to the "poverty" ! One man, in joke, announced that he was the star's brother, and the rumor spread like wild-fire, tho he strenuously denied it when he saw that he was taken seriously. You simply cant keep a good rumor down, in Hollywood. Just as enthusiastically as the little birdie gets single people engaged against their will, it has married couples about to sepa For years it has been rumored that Peggy Hopkins Joyce would become a screen star. Now that rumor is coming true, and her first story is a satire of English society life, written by Cosmo Hamilton and Anthony Paul Kelly rate, likewise against their intent. The most frequently estranged couple — according to rumor — is Norma Talmadge and Joe Schenck, who are really the most contented pair in Filmdom, according to their intimate friends. Apparently the only reason for this bit of gossip is that Norma has played for years with one leading man. Of course, this rumor is bound to appear whenever the husband is noticeably older than the wife. Alice Terry has spent a good portion of the last six months denying the story that she and her husband, Rex Ingram, have separated. Nearly every paper in Los Angeles telephoned her while she was working on The Great Divide, quoting a "message from New York" to the effect that she and Rex had decided to sever marital relations. When Rex went to Europe to film Mare Nostrum, nothing was lacking for their divorce except the decree, and yet Alice was getting two letters a day and three cablegrams a week from her absent husband! Incidentally, these rumors ruffle the Ingrams as much as a feather from the gossipy little birdie would ruffle the surface of the ocean. Ever since Eric von Stroheim was taken off the production of The Merry-Go-Round and another director given . the picture to finish, he looks for the rumor that he is dismissed to follow chronologically the statement that he is directing. During the filming of The Merry Widow this report became so insistent that one newspaper reporter even called up the studio and announced that a friend of a friend of his had actually seen the megaphone snatched out of Von's hands and given to Monta Bell! In the middle of the making of Peter Pan word went about among the Wise 'Uns that little Betty Bronson was "out." The story was circumstantial in its details — she had been told that she was to be replaced by another actress of more experience and had fainted on the set, requiring the work of several doctors to bring her around. Since the story was entirely false, the company went to some trouble to trace its origin and discovered that it had been started out of jealousy by the mother of another little ingenue who had tried unsuccessfully for the coveted role of Peter. Spite explains the source of many absurd stories, which nevertheless are eagerly listened to and believed. Extras, envious of other people's success, dismissed employees, disgruntled maids and chauffeurs take this method of getting even. The know-it-all complex is another reason for rumors. Rather than confess to ignorance about anything, a certain type of person will invent his own explanations.
