Tom Mix, the Selig cowboy star, was sued for divorce by his wife, who asks the custody of their child, and Billie Rhodes brought suit against her husband, the papers in the latter case indicating that Billie's sure-enough name is Levita Fulgham. The third principal is "Shorty" Hamilton, whose wife asserted that he did not confine his Keystone comedy to the studio. After which we will return the skeletons to their respective closets. KEITH ARMOUR is the new Chicagoesque name conferred upon Raymond Jerome Binder, former Windy City clothing model who is being transformed into a screen actor at Fine Arts Hollywood studio. His debut is to occur in a race track story opposite Dorothy Gish. NEARLY forgot to mention a couple of additional marriages. Max Dill, American comedian, was married in Los Angeles to Josephine M. Clark, a member of his company. This leaves one unmarried man or. the American's payroll and he's a chauffeur. The other marriage was that of Hal Roach, director general of Rolin in Los Angeles and Margaret Xichols, who plays leads in one of his comedy companies. Guess that takes them all. MARIX SAIS is out of the pictures temporarily because of an accident sustained while engaged in filming a scene at Kalem's California studio. The bridle slipped from her saddlehorse^ and a sudden movement of the animal's head hurled the bridle into her face, breaking her nose. Helen Gibson, another Kalem star, is reported to have been seriously hurt in the filming of a scene at the same studio by falling between two horses she was driving. IF California goes dry this month, Wallace Beery will probably have to change his surname. The former Essanay "Sweedie" recently gave up his job as a Universal director. NAT GOODWIN threatens to start a motion picture company of his own on his ranch in the San Jacinto Valley, California. But it's time enough to worry about misforwheii they so why antici tunes come, pate? AXD we hear that Romaine Fielding is endeavoring to do likewise in Western Canada, having selected Calgary as the location. He has been playing in vaudeville in the Northwest. THE stork played a limited engagement at Universal City recently with the result that the population was increased by two, both of the stronger sex, in a manner of speaking. The fathers are Jack Mulhall. leading man, and Milton Moore, cameraman. It may be mentioned in passing that Mrs. Milton Moore is better known as Laura Oakley, who is the chief of police of Universal City as well as one of the pioneer character actresses of the film municipality. ALFRED YOSBURGH is now a member of the Morosco company, having gone there after a long engagement with American at Santa Barbara. Estelle Allen, ingenue, was signed simultaneously. Arthur Hoops (left) and Sidney Ayres, two well-known screen actors, who died during the last month. groan box, unavailable. when WILLIAM GARWOOD. Universal leading man, has renounced the films temporarily for a stage engagement in Los Angeles stock. He is playing the lead in "On Trial." Xeal Burns, one of Universal's comedians. is appearing simultaneously in a musical comedy in another Los Angeles theater. OUR idea of zero in publicity stunts is the little note sent out by the Essanay essayist to the effect that Edna Mayo has learned to play a ukulele, otherwise known as a Honolulu stronger language is J WARREN KERRIGAX will start a company of his own; he will go into vaudeville for a year : he will remain with Universal. The first two reports come from the press agents and the third from Universal. All of which would indicate that the beauteous Jack will remain a Universalite at a greatly increased stipend. LILLIAN WALKER, she of the dimples and taffy hair, nearly drove her automobile into the obituary column the other day. As it was. she and Director Wilfred Xorth were considerably shaken up when the machine collided with a taxi on Long Island. Both cars turned turtle and Miss Walker sustained some severe abrasions and much incidental publicity, which didn't hurt a bit.
