THE MOVING PICTURE WEEKLY

3LUEBIRD and UNIVERSAL
ig goes on at the theray. Here are lot from the ext week.
LENA'S FAVORITE PLAYMATE.
J^ITTLE Lena Baskette, Universal's child actress and dancer, who has been nicknamed "Pavlowa, Junior," has been happier than usual lately, the reason being that one of her favorite animal playmates is working with her in a three-reel picture, "Amelita's Friend," which Marshall Stedman is directing at Universal City.
Lena's chum, who is playing the title role in the picture, is Joe Martin, the big orang-outang of the Universal zoo. Lena is an almost daily visitor at the zoo and spends most of her visit at Joe's quarters.
A few days ago the big "monk" managed to escape from the animal park and went bounding down the street toward the stages, a quarter of a mile away, pursued by his keeper and assistants.
Around and over the stages he raced, startling the players and holding up production for some time, until he finally found the set where Lena's company was working. He perched on top of the scenery and refused to come down until Lena was finally called from her dressing-room. Joe descended as soon as she appeared. She took him to the peanut man and bought peanuts for him.
"Now run along home," she said, and away went Joe down the road, munching his peanuts and chattering happily to himself. Lena will be seen in a Star Featurette called "A Dream of Egypt."
Lena Baskette actress dancer of the Big U called Pavlowa, Junior.
GALE HENRY READS THE WEEKLY.
Edith Roberts has a quaint playmate, too. A small pig working with her in "Sue of the South," a 5-reeler.
QALE HENRY knows what's what.
Do you see the reading matter which she has selected from the pile in front of her, for perusal? Judging by her expression, she is quite tickled with what she sees there. She ought to be, for the article is all about her lovely self. The huge supply of adjectives kept in stock by the editors of the Weekly has been completely exhausted in describing her work in "The Cross-Eyed Submarine" and the Joker Comedies.
It is good knews that William Franey and Gale Henry will play together again in Jokers, for the public has missed the inimitably comic reaction which these artists have on one another. Each has been working with competent comedy partners, but the public
can't have enough of a good thing, and has insistently demanded that they be billed in future in the same cast. Milburn Moranti will continue his splendid work in their support, and the Jokers will be better than ever under the new regime.
"Busting Into Society" is the tite of this week's Joker, in which Gale has the lead, supported by Milton Sims. It is a scream, and in it she wears some of the extraordinary garments which her imagination alone is able to h conceive. How Miss Henry ever finds sufficient time to
struct these sartorial marvels is the wonder of all her friends. She says she dreams them. Those dreams must be some nightmare !
// you see it in the Moving Picture Weekly it must be so. They say I'm good — gee!
