1132 THE MOVING PICTURE WORLD August 24, 191? Rambles 'Round Filmtown With WALTER K. HILL. >MBfi3G3wrora[i3(HrowigfTafffrofig^^ During Long Winter Evenings Try This On Your Neighbors. FOR a company of people who are enthusiastic patrons of the movies, and nearly everyone is these days, a game founded on the real and professional names of some of the best known stars of filmdom is most amusing:. This is how it goes: Provide each player with a penril and sheet of paper and ask him to write the real name of a given number of well known actors and actresses At least a third of the answers will lie wrong and two-thirds of the remainder will elicit the reply: "Have never heard." The number of favorites who write .Mrs. before their names will be another source of surprise to the players when the corrected lists is given. The hostess, of course, reads only the stage names, asking that they 1" written under each other as words for spelling were written in school days. The guests are given a half hour in which to place opposite each the real name. A correct list will read as follows: Mary Pickford Mrs. Owen Moore Fanny Ward Mrs. Jack I lean Lulu ('.laser Mrs. Thomas Richards Geraldine Farrar Mrs Lou-Tell Annette Keller mann. .. .Mrs. J it Sullivan Julia Sanderson Mrs. B. Barnette Billie Burke Mrs. Florenz /.iegfeld Jane Cowl Mrs. Adolph Klauber Viola Allen Mrs. Peter 1 Hi r yea Elsie Ferguson Mrs. Thomas Clark Alice Joyce Mrs. Tom Moor.. Nance O'Neil Mrs Alfred 11 o kman .Marie Dressier Mrs James 1 >alton Blanche Bates Mrs. Ceorge Creel And. here is another way of making up an answer list: I like to watch the graceful form Of Mrs. J. R. Sullivan. But lest I wake a thundred storm, I speak of Annette Kellerman. I'm quite devoted to Jane Cowl, I call her that with pleasure rife, Although I know (nay, do not scowl) That she is Adolph Klauber's wife. When Mary Pickford I would praise I do not speak of Mrs. Moore. Miss Fagan's Ina Claire on days She, pictured, doth my heart allure. And even Fanny Ward is not, Except when smiling on the screen "When Life's the play and Love's the plot, She's chaining Mrs. Jack R. Dean. — L. M. Thornton, Waverly, N. Y. — w s s — Concerning "The Terrible Face." After carefully scrutinizing the frontispieces of the various space hounds who were given a trade showing in a recent issue of the M. P. W., I do not think it is just an' fair to Justin Fair to hand him deferred physiognomic classification Moreover, he could not hope to be more than atmosphere when appearing in the same picture with Catherine Calvert. In fact our most beautiful he-vampires (including Walrus and Ambrose) would be eased into a pulchritudinous Class 5 under similar circumstances. — Raymond C. Hill... — w s s — It is understood that chorus girls derive their names from a study of the Pullman car situation. We might judge from "Katy," "Soo," "Bee," and similars that they get them from box cars. Getting Away With Rough Stuff. Shooting a Scene. Striking a Set. Grinding a Crank. Cutting a Film.

In a spirit of good fellowship Mrs. Webster suggested to Katherine Perry, a roof garden actress, that Miss Perry and her mother enjoy themselves in the Webster flat while the Harry McRaes were vacationing. "Use the apartment and its contents as your own." were the last words Mrs. Webster uttered to Miss Perry as the door slammed on the McRaewebsters. Here's the rest of the story (with Webster on one end of the telephone conversation some days later and Miss Perry indulp:ing In the Q and A pastime of explaining) : l>id you see any shirts for gents in my apartment after I Lit "Oh! yes, thank you — about nineteen I think, and they made such pretty little dresses."
