PARAMOUNT PEP
Funny Things That Happen at the Studio
By Shirk
Special to PEP
Ann Cornwall, who plays a role in William de Mille's “Only Thirty-eight," was being joshed the other day because everything she wore in the way of ornaments, her dress, hat, etc., all matched the jade pendant hanging about her slender throat.
“That’s not all,” she smiled, pointing to her diminutive Scotch terrier, whose name is “Whusky.” “Look at his collar.”
The collar was also jade green.
A colored boy working at the studio dashed up to the doorkeeper:
“Mr. Lewis,” he gasped, his eyes bulging, “sumfin terrible must of happen jes now! I seen seven wimmen hangin' on one of the sets by the hair of their haids !”
What he saw were the dummies, very lifelike, of Bluebeard’s wives in the vision scene of “Bluebeard’s Eighth Wife,” starring Gloria Swanson and produced by Sam Wood.
Lois Wilson, leading woman of the James Cruze production, “The Covered Wagon,” and now playing a featured role in “Only Thirtyeight,” William de Mille's production, came from her dressing room the other morning looking uncomfortable in a pretty fuschia colored afternoon frock.
“What’s wrong?” asked Elliott Dexter, also featured in the picture.
“This dress seems all wrong. I can't find out what is the matter."
Elliott, recently wed, and an authority on such matters, looked Lois over critically.
Finally he smiled and said :
“You’ve got it on wrong side before, I think.”
An experiment determined this to be a fact.
“I don't see how I’ll ever quiet down again?” observed Betty Compson, after an exciting scene in “The Woman With Four Faces,” produced by Herbert Brenon, in which she stars and Richard Dix is featured. “This picture is just one thrill after another and I'm always creeping up on someone or stealing along a narrow corridor with a flashlight and a mask over my face. But I love it !”

When it comes to looking after the problem of location for the many companies at work at our West Coast Studio, the lot falls to Fred Harris.
