Shirk’s Studio Gossip
When Betty Compson starts work next in Herbert Brenon’s second production entitled “The Woman With Four Faces,” she will have as leading man Richard Dix, recently signed and regarded as one of the most popular young actors on the screen.
Mr. Brenon is highly enthusiastic over this story, which was adapted by George Hopkins from a play by Bayard Veiler. Julia Crawford Ivers is to be production editor.
William de Mille began work this week on his production, “Only Thirty-Eight,” in his usual quiet manner. Half the time no one knows that William de Mille is working, but he accomplishes amazing results just the same. In this picture a big interior and exterior set combined showing the unlovely aspect of a home that is not really a home. Lois Wilson is playing what might be called the title role and is featured together with Elliott Dexter, May McAvoy and George Fawcett, all of whom have splendid roles. Clara Beranger adapted the A. E. Thomas play which was suggested by a story of Walter Prichard Eaton’s. Miss Wilson’s make-up, it may be said, is astonishingly perfect and even her friends at the studio almost failed to recognize her in the rather stooped and slightly grey-haired woman of the story.

Ouida Bergere’s adaptation of the story is said to be very powerful and the picture is being produced with a wealth of color and beauty of investiture.
March 26th is the date set for George Melford to start on his new production, “Salomy Jane,” which it will be remembered was Paul Armstrong’s play adapted from the Bret Harte story. Waldemar Young is making the film version and it is announced that Jacqueline Logan will appear in the title role. Two other important players will be Maurice Flynn and William Davidson, the latter a well-known Eastern actor and the former already known for some excellent work in Paramount pictures. “Salomy Jane” will represent upon the screen another of those classics which are virtually immortal and are distinctly American, ranking besides “Rip Van Winkle,” “The Old Homestead,” “Shore Acres,” and others of that type. Mr. Melford plans some unusually strong fea( Continued on page 15)
Didn’t Forget Old Time Easter
When Easter rolled around this year Gloria Swanson’s thoughts wandered back to her childhood days, when Easter brought forth the egg and jelly bean hunt, and perhaps a live rabbit or two from mother and daddy.
Likewise this year she played Easter and is shown here with two baby rabbits, chocolate Easter eggs and Easter flowers.
