TTHE FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH OM MEIGHAN has re-discovered the celebrated Fountain of Youth. We all discovered it once while studying American History in school — and the vision of old Ponce de Leon trying to regain his youth while drinking and bathing in its waters stirred all of our sentiment and sympathy. It was while the Paramount star was on location in Ocala, Florida, that he came across a famous watering place called Silver Springs. The water is as clear as crystal. Meighan made several pilgrimages to the place and learned from a guide that it was old Poncy's w. k. Fountain of Youth. The guide, a talkative chap, said 'Tt is a well known fact that these waters possess the remarkable properties sought by the famous Spanish explorer. Thousands of people come here and regain their youth." Tom pondered this fact for several minutes. "Well," he said, "after I finish this picture I suppose I'll find myself playing opposite Baby Peggy." H RINGING " HELL'S BELLS " ERMAN Gantvoort, well known in the motion picture trade as Bill Holland, is ringing down the curtain on his theatrical production, "Hell's Bells." This comedy of two lovable old rogues who come East to bunco, and remain to spread happiness will close this Saturday night after five successful months on Broadway at the George M. Cohan theatre. The producer, always a generous fellow, wants to give his actors a vacation before the play reopens in Chicago next season. Gantvoort was formerly connected with several motion picture publications, and also promoted the "Teleview." When he started his career as a theatrical producer he checked out his assumed monicker, Holland, and resumed his own name. In addition to re-opening the New York company in Chicago for a run, Gantvoort plans to send out four other "Hell's Bells," companies on the road next season. Although several offers have been made he has not — at this writing — disposed of the picture rights.

And this, as you may see by the hat, is n brother of Buster Keaton, Harry "Jingles" Keaton, who has begun at the bottom of the ladder at the Metro-GoldwynMaver studios.
