■THE MOVING PICTURE WEEKLY -39 LYONS AND MORAN MAKE CONVENTION HUM. (Continued from page 38) versal Dora when she had a hardheaded recruit on the hook and wasn't able to land him. "There and Back" is certain to make a big hit, and every exhibitor should start right in to advertise it immediately. When it becomes known that Lee and Eddie have been invited to attend the convention, there is a wonderful farewell demonstration from their fellow workers at the studio. Henry McRae, Roy Clements, Ruth Stonehouse, Lydia Yeamans Titus, Joe Girard, Franklyn Famum, Edith Roberts, and a number of others, give them presents and tokens of esteem, when suddenly a telegram comes, saying that they cannot go to the convention after all. Right away all the actors demand their presents back, and Eddie and Lee go to their dressing-rooms disgusted. They fall asleep and dream that they go to the convention after all. Then comes a series of scenes showing the reception that they expected to receive, and the reception which they actually would have received had they gone out there, the contrast being marked by the widest possible divergence. Included in the picture are scenes from Denver, Salt Lake City, and all of the cities on the Northwestern which were passed during the daytime, scenes in Chicago in front of the Herald, the News, the Tribune, and bother Chicago papers, in front of and inside the Coliseum in Madison Avenue, in the Loop, where they stopped traffic and were almost arrested, and in the great Northwest Depot. UNUSUAL SPORTS OF LITTLE STARS. (Continued from page 19) discussing with Lincoln Stedman. They are appearing together in Miss Hall's next Bluebird picture, "The Charmer." It is the first big picture in which the son and heir of the Stedman family (Marshall Stedman is his father) has ever participated. Incidentally, there is no attempt to conceal the fact that young Stedman's most popular sport is an indoor one — eating. In "The Crippled Hand," Miss Hall was again a little girl, and had to drive a very saucy little cycle car, which she did to the queen's taste with the help of Buster Emmons. Lena Baskette, the noted child actress and dancer, has a most unusual sport for a girl, and one so young. She is an expert fisherman, and she is shown here with one of her prize catches. The fish are small-mouthed black bass, and were taken in Lake Matthieson, where she went angling with her mother. On the same day a BUTTERFLY BOOTH AT CHICAGO AIDS RECRUITING. There was no more artistic, patriotic or popular booth at the Chicago Exposition than the Bluebird Booth. Violet Mersereau, Bluebird star, presided and spent most of her time there. I. von Runckle buzzed around her and Joe Brandt, when he could spare the time, pointed to the "Bluebird-Photoplays urge-you-to-join Pershing" sign which flashed to every part of the hall. rival fisherman at this famous fishing rrround was the biggest Chief-of-Police in the U. S. A.— John L. Butler. Claude Barker, on whose property the lake is located, is authority for the statement that little Lena with her wobbler bait, a six-ounce rod, and nine strand line, is one of the most adept fishermen who ever cast a fly in his well-known lake. He also says that she put it all over John L. Butler in the time they both were fishing. Buster Emmons, who is one of the best-known child actors in America, having appeared in Griffith productions first, and making his biggest reputation in the Bison, is addicted to horseback riding without a saddle. His principal pleasure is in riding horses which are hard to handle, and that is the way he came by his nickname of Buster. His real name is Marion Paul Emmons, and his mother is also a well-known motion picture character actress. On the water, too, and in it as well. Buster is very much at home. He handles a canoe like a veteran. Frankie Lee on the other hand, who has played in a number of Victor, Laemmle, Gold Seal and Powers productions, finds his greatest enjoyment in playing with dolls and making mud poes. He hasn't a combative or argumentative hair in his head. One Reel Nestor Comedy Released Week of August 13. The dancing; craze furnishes Eddie Lyons, I.ee Moran and Edith Roberts a novel plot for the Nestor comedy, "The RushLn' Dancers." All the ladies are dance crazy and the men have to do the housework. The men import a female dancer (so they say), but in reality the bunch make I.ee the soat, and the women make things lively while the deception is concealed. Then — Zowie! You'll have to book this.
