PARAMOUNT PEP
The De Mille Family
This is the first photograph PEP has had the honor of receiving of the family of Cecil B. De Mille.
Mr. De Mille is shown asking his young adopted son how he liked his sojourn in bed.
It is needless to say, John is glad to be' out in the glorious California sunshine, and hastily tells his father so.
From left to right they are: Mrs. De Mille, Cecelia De Mille, age 14; John De Mille, age 9; Katherine Lester De Mille, age 11 ; and Cecil B. De Mille.
The photo was taken in the patio of Mr. De Mille’s beautiful Hollywood home.

Charles Ruggles Back in Pictures
Charles Ruggles, a former motion picture actor, who in recent years has been confining himself to stage work, has returned to the screen and is playing the light comedy role of Gaspard in “The Heart Raider,” which his brother, Wesley Ruggles, is directing with Agnes Ayres in the star role. Ruggles’ latest stage productions on Broadway were “The Girl in the Limousine,” “Ladies’ Night,” and “The Demi Virgin.” Years ago he played in our own and Morosco pictures.
Jerome Storm to Direct
Jerome Storm, who directed most of Charles Ray’s immensely successful pictures for Thomas H. Ince, has been engaged to direct “Children of Jazz” for us. The production will be made at our West Coast Studio, and among those who will have leading roles are Theodore Kosloff, Estelle Taylor, Eileen Percy, Ricardo Cortez, and Robert Cain.
The Production Department also announces that Leatrice Joy and Owen Moore will appear in a special production directed by Charles Maigne, adapted by Sada M. Cowan from Maxmilian Foster’s story, “The Silent Partner.”
Constance Wilson to Be Walter Hiers’ Leading Woman
Constance Wilson, younger sister of Lois Wilson, has risen to leading woman.
She will play opposite Walter Hiers in “Fair Week," so titled temporarily, a comedy-drama on which shooting started last week. Rob Wagner here also makes his debut as director.
Miss Wilson, a vivacious youngster just out of high school, has all the charm of her sister, and shows rare promise for future stardom.
Her experience in pictures has been limited to “The Covered Wagon," where she took a minor part merely for the fun of it. In her role as a settler girl of '48, however, she showed a natural capacity for acting which readily won her present opportunity.
In appearance she is a slight, ingenuous type, with a sweet roguish face set off by masses of golden-brown wavy hair. Naturally athletic, her smiling blue eyes carry in them the roving look of the pioneer girl explorer — little wonder she depicted the life so well in “The Covered Wagon.”
Alfred E. Green to Direct Next Production at West Coast
Alfred E. Green, who recently completed “The Ne’er-Do-Well.” starring Thomas Meighan, at our Long Island Studio, has returned to the West Coast where he will produce his next picture, the title of which has not yet been announced. Mr. Green will return East after this production and will again resume the directorial duties with Mr. Meighan in an original story by Booth Tarkingtcn.
Two Good Assistants
On the left we have John Waters, Assistant to Director Sam Wood, who is at present making "Bluebeard’s Eighth Wife” and at the right Pete Hungate, Assistant to L. M. Goodstadt, our Castinsr Director.
Both are regular fellows and A-l PEP enthusiasts.
