Paramount Pep (1922)

fifteen Paramount Pep Star and Author Are They Friends? We’ll Say So Gloria Swanson, starring in “Beyond the Rocks” and Elinor Glyn, the author of this original story written expressly for Miss Swanson, are not a bit cold in this Alpine snow, it is only salt. The mountain representing the Swiss Alps was built near Hollywood by studio technical experts and when you see this production on the screen, you are carried to some glorious settings in the Alps. O-O-O-O-O-OH! Walter Hiers, the husky favorite at the West Coast, says he enjoys his role in William de Mille’s “Bought and Paid For,” because he has to eat a lot. He says there is only two kinds of ice cream he likes and that’s vanilla. He also wishes to call our attention to the fact that he has to smoke a lot of cigars in this picture and not to confuse him with Theodore Roberts. Walter Hier.s ??y4:%II|y2@&&-!!!!££ ? (Concerning Wanda Hawley) I wonder as I wander and I ponder If Wanda doesn’t wonder were she blonder, And I think that as I wander so I blunder As to Wanda being blonder, yes, by thunder. For should Wanda wanta blonder head, by thunder She’d wonder why she ever made the blunder For to ponder on a blonder head, to Wanda Is so foolish as to make the wonder wander. Albert Deane. Shooting at Night One of the biggest motion picture lighting projects yet attempted is now under way in the filming of exterior scenes for the Penrhyn Stanlaws production, “Over the Border,” with Betty Compson and Tom Moore, according to Frederick S. Mills, electrical illuminating engineer at the Lasky studio. The company was on location at Truckee, in northern California, filming winter scenes in the heavy snow which blankets the ground in that region at this season of the year. It was necessary to film some night scenes, and instead of taking them in the daytime and tinting them blue for a night effect as in the past, the company decided, in accordance with a policy recently adopted, to make the scenes more realistic and effective by actually filming them at night. Seventeen thousand feet of wire, a mile and a half of connecting cable, and much equipment and paraphernalia was shippid up from the studio to the location site; also a crew of extra electricians to operate the lights and set up the paraphernalia. Transformers were also shipped up from San Francisco to handle the current from high voltage power lines which ran some distance away and necessitated the long stretches of cable. P 'F. P Throws a Mean Rope Bebe Daniels and Wanda Hawley were originally with Paramount, then with Realart and are now again back to our fold and in all their years in front of the j Cooper-Hewitts they have been fast friends and still remain so.
