Advertising Section to Miss Dorothy Hinckley not long ago, in Hollywood. Those arc wry bare facts ■ — with not even an inkling as to whether Creighton and Dorothy are also in the movies — or what. YY/allacic Beery and Raymond Hatton, who were such a mirth-provoking team in "Behind the Front," are turning their joint attention to another branch of the service. Their next picture will be "We're in the Navy Now." Our navy is getting awfully popular in Hollywood, what with Metro-Goldwyn making "Tell It to the Marines" and Warner Brothers planning a war picture called "Across the Pacific." Claire Windsor has the leading feminine role in "Tell It to the Marines." Lon Chaney and William Haines are said to have roles of equal importance. But it's easy to see who will get the girl. Arlette Marchal, the vivacious young French star, who was imported by Paramount, is playing an important part in Marshall Xeilan's next picture, "Diplomacy." I am always astounded by the utter frankness of these foreigners. "It is so different over here," she said. "You rush, rush, rush ! You have time to do nothing. I can understand why the foreign people are not happy here. They are not used to so much rush. I like it very much and everything you do here is in such a big way." The few flashes that one has been able to get of Arlette Marchal in "Madame Sans-Gene" and "The Cat's Pajamas" show that she possesses a personality and talent that will burst forth in a box-office triumph when her opportunity comes. (Character men are receiving more and more recognition by the producers. Raymond Hatton and Wallace Beery, who have always played supporting roles, are being co-starred in comedies. The latest announcement is that Jean Hersholt has been signed by Carl Laemmle to star in four pictures a year. Hersholt recently completed the principal role in "The Old Soak." He will be remembered for his clever characterizations in "Creed" and "Don Q." Lon Chaney is the one who really smashed traditions by becoming the first starring character man. Now Barrymore comes to the movies and does nothing but characterizations. John Gilbert has revolted and is crying for parts with a touch of character. Antonio Moreno may become the repre**■ sentative for one of his native Spanish companies. Ardavin Brothers, Spanish producers, have asked Moreno to become their official American representative. Tony has accepted the job tentatively and will make arrangements for the showing of "La Bejarana" in this country. The film has had a long run in one of the large houses of Madrid. Daymond Griffith suspects her of having great ability as a comedienne. That is what he told me about Clara Bow. Two days later he had engaged her to play the leading role in his next picture, "Yon'd I'.e Surprised." The versatile Mr. Griffith is the author of the story. In fact, he does nearly everything but grind the cameras on himself. It will be remembered that Ray wrote a number of original comedies for Douglas MacLean. He also worked as a comedy in. hi with Mack Sennett. Hay has at various times occupied practically every position in a motion picture company, so he is quite qualified to be the boss of his ■■■■tiny. Every advertisement in motion PICTURE MAGAZIN1 LIere's good news for the Answer Man! He'll never have to rack his brains again over the question, "What is my screen favorite's favorite sport?" whe Weiss Brothers Artclass Pictures their new series of one-reelers. These tures introduce "all the famous stars,' show each one at his favorite recreation. So if you want to know how John Gilber keeps that youthful figure, and how Richard Talmadge does those stunts without breaking his neck again, look out for this series. JTvidently Ralph Ince didn't consider *-"' himself a complete success as a leading man, because after "Yellow Fingers" was released he went back to directing. He will be responsible for "The Return of the Lone Wolf," a story which was first filmed some years ago. Billie Dove, after celebrating her birthday in New York, went back to the Coast to co-star with Bert Lytell in this production. A fter keeping Ramon Novarro busy on •*"*■ "Ben-Hur" for a few years and then bringing him back to the screen with that feeble comedy, "The Midshipman," MetroGoldwyn has at last decided to do right by their handsomest star. "Old Heidelberg," starring Ramon, is on the ambitious M. G. M. program for next fall. This is a picture which Ramon has longed to make, but which for a time was mentioned as a vehicle for John Gilbert. The doctor took a few stitches in Shirley Mason's head after she was thrown from her horse and landed wrong end to. Shirley was on location at Lone Pine at the time of the accident, and the doctor who did the needle work must have dropped a stitch, for the actress had to have it done over when she arrived in Hollywood. "Tom Mix is to have a different director on each picture he makes during the coming year. The Fox company will have their megaphone wielders lined up in ro tating order to handle the Western sta W. Roy Neill will be the first to dire Mix. ; I During the past year the Fox compan; went on a buying orgy, and purchase* all the well-known stage-plays and bes' sellers they could find. Now they find themselves short of directors. Along with their stcry buying the Fo: company has made an ambitious effort t< find new feminine stars. Three of th girls who have been selected by Fox will undoubtedly be famous before the end of another year. They are Olive Borden, Jaynet Gaynor and Joan Renee. It is very confusing for a star to have six doubles. John Gilbert discovered that while making "Bardelys the Magnificent." Six men were employed to double fo the famous star. There was much tal among them. One of the men approachei the real John Gilbert, thinking he was just another double. "Say," said the double, "it's a wonder to me why this guy Gilbert doesn't do some of his own work." le Q\vf.\ Moore was telling how he let one of the royalty down easy. A countess was working in a picture with Owen. She was very enthusiastic over her new work "Oh!" she exclaimed. "This is delightful I just know there is something big for me here!" "It may oe the gates to the studio, Countess," said Owen, stretching his arrr upward to indicate the size of the gates,
