As a fighter, Vivian Martin is receiving laurels equal to those of Wallace Reid, Sessue Hayakawa, Billy Elmer and others of pugilistic prominence. In "The Trouble Buster" in which she is appearing on at the Theatre, she "busts" a little trouble with her own diminutive fists, causing grave doubt as to the question as to whether she is in reality merely an amateur boxer as has always been claimed. One of the cleverest bits of action in Vivian Martin's most recent Paramount picture which is to be shown at the Theatre on is found in her friendship and devotion to "Blackie" the newsboy who befriended her in her hour of need. Blackie lost both his eyes in a fight with another newsboy, and, being a very independent young man who had always earned and fought his way in the world, he greatly resented being dependent upon charity. Vivian Martin, as Michelna, his friend, resolved to help him and thought of the models he had been used to make out of bits of clay. As he refused to try to work on them, being ashamed of his clumsy groping, Michelna discovered a certain cleverness in her own fingers and unbeknown to him, she finished several of his models for him and took them to an art exhibition where they excited much favorable attention. MUTINY IN THE VIVIAN MARTIN CAMP It is a well known fact that directors are reckless creatures when it comes to realism. Nothing is too realistic for these gentlemen who send automobiles hurtling over cliffs and beautiful girls leaping from trains with the greatest sang froid. But the latest "atrocity" — according to winsome Vivian Martin at least, was when her Paramount director, Frank Reicher, suggested her removing a part of her beautiful curly mass of hair in order to better take the part of a newsboy in "The Trouble Buster, " her latest picture which is to be shown at the Theatre on "It will make it grow, you know," began Mr. Reicher, tentatively— but by that time Miss Martin was safe in the seclusion of her own dressing room whence she declared she would not emerge until she had Mr. Reicher' s affidavit to the effect that she could keep every single blond curl. 14
