November 28, 1925 2S29 PICTURES AND PEOPLE Ostrich feather garters are the latest thing, and Sally Long, exFollies beauty playing a vivid flapper role in "Fifth Avenue" ( Producers Dist. Corp.) found them just the right touch. Anne Cornwall is Hoot Gibsons lovely lead'ng lady in "I he Indians Are Coming!" which will be his next production for Universal. N NOTEWORTHY PREMIERES OT one but two premieres were given "Stella Dallas," Samuel Goldwyn's latest film production, in New York this week. On Monday afternoon an invitation professional matinee was' given in honor of Miss Ethel Barrymore, and in the evening the formal premiere took place. A brilliant throng of Broadway stars of the first magnitude attended the professional matmee, while the roster of spectators in the evening took in most of the high spots of the social register, the stage and screen world, the press — in brief, the "Who's Who of New York." R PICTURES TO PRESSES EVERSING the precedent of a famous publisher who became a picture producer, James Leo Meehan, son-in-law of the late Gene Stratton-Porter, and director of "The Keeper of the Bees" for F. B. O., has purchased a controlling interest in the Pasadena Morning Sun, the first issue of which is due shortly. It is not his first venture into newspaperdom, however, as before entering motion pictures he was an editor and magazine writer. He will continue to film the Gene Stratton-Porter novels. G WELCOME PUBLICITY COPY EORGE W. HARVEY, advertising manager of Producers Distributing corporation, sends us a piece of "publicity" copy which we are glad to print without change: Just arrived. Mr. and Mrs. George W. Harvey present A first-run attraction. Released Nov. 9th, 1925. Miss Harvey. (Title to be announced.) The illustration depicts a bouncing baby girl on a scale, tipping the beam at seven and one-half pounds. Congratulations, George. Harry Langdon, Sennstt-Pathe comedian, soon to be seen in "There He Goes," will go to any lengths for a laugh, even to playing one of these darned things. Kathleen Key, whose work in "The Midshipman" (Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer) is being commended, believes in keeping in trim for her work at the studio. This queer telephone is one of the "props" which William Desmond uses in "Strings of Steel," a Universal picture of the pioneer days in the telephone industry. Jackie Coogan, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer juvenile star, went on a six weeks' vacation trip in the high Sierras after finishing "Old Clothes" and did every bit of his own work around the hunting lodge, as this testifies. Lew Cody played villainous roles for so long that Director Hobart Henley took no chance with him between scenes of "His Secretary" (Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer) .
