Double Congratulations
Gloria Swanson stopped the above trio one noon at the West Coast and had double cause for congratulations.
First she congratulated Walter Hiers on his newly acquired bride, familiarly known to all as “Peaches,” and his new leading lady, Constance Wilson, sister to Lois Wilson.
All Aboard
Agnes Ayres is here shown bidding Mary Astor good-bye at the Hollywood station in Long Island.
No, this is not a typographical error at all, because ini Jas. Cruze’s production, “Hollywood,” a huge set representing the Hollywood station was necessary and was built in our Long Island Studio for the scene.
Even when you walked thru the set you unconsciously looked in your pocket to see if you had your ticket and it was not until you saw a movie camera or two that you realized it was make-believe.
Watch Out
Bob Kane, Assistant to Mr. Lasky, on one of his weekly visits to the Long Island _ Studio, encountered Allan Dwan on his huge King Tut set used in “Lawful Larceny.”
Director Dwan seemed deeply interested in the trinkets at the end of R. T.’s watch chain and proceeded to call his attention to an item of interest happening at the other end of the stage. However, someone said to “watch out,” to which Dwan rplied : “So it is,” and placed the watch chain and everything back.
Mr. Kane accompanied Mr. Dwan over the huge set and pronounced it the last word in interior studio sets.
