Makers of Wilbur's Cocoa PATCNT O' Aurelio Coccia, originator of the Apache I dance on the American stage, was engaged to put on this dance with Miss Swanson. -He has I danced with his wife, Minnie Amato, for a good many years. His Apache dance is de I cidedly acrobatic, but his dancing partner, being always in training and knowing every , move, was able to go through with it without i inconvenience. When Director Sidney Olcott ordered the first rehearsal of the dance, Coccia grabbed Miss Swanson and started in as if dancing with a professional partner. He swung her about, bent her backwards and forwards, choked her, threw her to the floor and dragged her back, and did all the things that he was used to doing. Miss Swanson was game. She never whimpered, but after the brief rehearsal she dropped into a chair, gasping. Her maid helped her to her dressing room and thence to her car. She managed to limp to her apartment, where she dropped. And for three days she stayed there, lame and sore in every muscle and utterly unable to go back to the studio. The enthusiasm of Coccia was toned down at subsequent rehearsals, with the result that the dance was finally done for the camera without serious accident, or loss of life or limb. But, as the picture shows, it was still plenty strenuous. MRS. MIGNON LEBRUN LANDIS has brought suit for separate maintenance against her husband, Cullen Landis, charging cruelty and alleging that she and her two children are being supported by the charity of friends. She asks §1500 a month allowance in the suit, which was brought in California. IT'S a mean trick to pick on a little kid just because he's got money, but that seems to be the fate of Jackie Coogan. It is a part of the training of Jackie by his parents to instill principles of thrift, so that when he grows up he will be able to worry along on the few millions he will have. In pursuance of this idea, Pa Coogan recently gave Jackie a trained white duck. What it was trained for is not revealed. The next development of the plot was that Uncle George Coogan offered Jackie a whole dollar for the duck. Jackie's spending money being low, he accepted and the sale was made. A day or two later, when he was going to work, Uncle George showed Jackie the duck in a little pond on the Metro lot. "What's he doing there?" asked Jackie. "I'm making money with him," replied Uncle George. "I've rented him to the Metro people for $2 a day." And a chaplet of woe descended on Jackie's brow and lasted several days. But the experience— phony though it was — added to his business experience. T5 ARBARA LA MARR is playing The Lady ^That's Known as Lou in "Dangerous Dan McGrew," made from the Service poem, and in the scenes in the Red Dog saloon she wears costumes that are — well, scanty. A friend of hers visited the set recently and saw one of these scenes being shot. Being a great admirer of Miss La Marr's. she realized how the wearing of such costumes must offend the actress. So she tried to express her regret and her condolences that Barbara should be obliged to appear in the somewhat immodest garb. "Oh, Miss La Marr," she said, "I think it's just terrible that you have to dress that way. Don't you feel badly about having to wear such thin costumes?" "I'll say I do," replied the beautiful star, emphatically. " It's so dog-gone cold." "NJELL SHIPMAN and her husband, Bert •L^Yan Tuyle, are slowly recovering from a terrible experience they had while working on location in Northern Idaho. Mr. Van Tuyle was so badly frozen that it was necessary to amputate his right foot, and he undoubtedly would have died had it not been for the heroism of his wife, who dragged him on a sled twenty miles to a place where they could get medical help. They had a camp out in the woods and, on their way back to Coolin, Idaho, the stage line terminal, lost the others who were with them. Yan Tuyle had injured his foot and it had become infected. He was delirious at times, and insisted upon leaving the sled and walking. All alone, Miss Shipman handled the heavy sled and dragged it across the ice on Priest Lake, falling into the water through airholes two or three times. Her feet were frostbitten, but she kept on.
