Here is the Dig set at the Talmadge studios in New York, where Norma made her latest and largest picture. This is an exterior scene, with the "sun ' just as realistic as the original, the grass even greener, and the flowers blooming brightly. They couldn't "go out on location"' for this scene, because they couldn t find a manor house in the vicinity of New York to suit their purpose ORMI HAWLEY is back— again. The erstwhile Lubin luminary, after a long absence from the screens, spent at her home in Whitesboro, New York, personally appeared in conjunction with her film, "The American Prince." PIE Los Angeles postoffice handles 8500 letters a day addressed to film stars. Of these letters 1500 go to Mary Pickford. About 500 each to Douglas Fairbanks and Wallace Reid. Other stars whose mail is noticeably heavy are Bill Hart, Bebe Daniels, Pauline Frederick, Charles Ray, May Allison, Douglas McLean, Tony Moreno — who has an enormous foreign collection — Mary Miles Minter and Bert Lytell. WILL ROGERS, after leaving Goldwyn and making one picture for Paramount, has signed a contract to appear in Shubert vaudeville, according to an authentic report — if a report is ever authentic. The screen will miss him. Rogers will get $3,000 a week. This is said to be the second largest salary ever paid to a vaudeville "single." Rogers, who first won fame as the lariat-monologist in the Ziegfeld Follies, became one of the most popular entertainers in the world as a Goldwyn star. He is a homely man, and a shy man ; he is not a great comedian like Chaplin. But he has made a place for himself that is unique. People go to see Will Rogers on the screen when they won't go to see anyone else. HERE'S an absolutely new one: David Wark Griffith has lodged a complaint with the War Department against airplanes flying over his studio estate at Mamaroneck, N. Y. And he introduces a brand new reason. There is a very costly reproduction of a French village — very old, very genuine — on the big lot. It's for "The Two Orphans," and a year's research work and many months' construction made it. Griffith alleges that the airplanes flying over the set are for the purpose of photographing it, so that some "promoters" may use the photograph in a book they are getting out, to help other directors in building similar sets ! Besides, the plane, which sometimes almost sweeps the house-tops, and its noisy progress is a great annoyance to the players. We don't blame Griffith for objecting. THE Ohio censors are at it again. Censorship in its most virulent form has broken out in Cincinnati. This time, they picked Marshall Neilan's masterpiece, "Bits of Life," as their victim. They saw it and slashed it. If you have seen it, which you undoubtedly have, you remember the first of the short stories that made up the picture, "The Bad Samaritan." It was a little tale with a big wallop. The censors cut it out entirely, so that the picture had to be withdrawn altogether — and something else — something innocuous and uninteresting and unoriginal — was substituted. Marshall Neilan did a daring thing when he produced this picture. Because he dared to be original, the reformers have landed on him. Where is the great picture of tomorrow going to come from, if this sort of thing is permitted to go on? ANITA LOOS and John Emerson have moved again. A month or so ago they were leaving their town house in Gramercy Park for their country place in Great Neck, Long Island. Now they're leaving the Park for the Fifties off Fifth Avenue, where their new house is. Anita is such a little, such a pretty chatelaine. She and her husband go to every one of the first nights on Broadway. Incidentally, they are going to California soon to write more stories.
