News Reel in jD hy me Item Lucky people take vacations — And the rest have operations! Louise Brooks comes in the first line, She whose blue-black eyes and hair shine. She is in New York to see Plays and frocks — to dine and tea. She has worked and earned a rest. May she have the city's best! For the others: Mildred Marsh, Has known treatment grim and harsh; Betty Blythe and Patsy Ruth, Have met illness — that's the truth! Marie Prevost has been led, To a white hospital bed! But — of this we have no doubt, Very soon they'll be about. Yes, some people take vacations, Some, instead, have operations! FRED THOMSON in the Title Role of Jesse James A Sonnet Impression of the Month's Best Performance — The drum of hoofs against the still of night-time, A cloud of dust across the glare of day, And Jesse James — who ever sought the right time. Has come again — again is on his way! A bandit he, far famed of song and story, A killer — when for killing there's a need, But in his heart there dwells a certain glory, And in his soul there lives a shining creed! Such men as he have made the west — have made it Of fire and sand and passion and romance; And when the price was named they always paid it With gallant smiles, and honor in their glance. A bandit — but a spirit that was free, An outlaw who, in truth, made history. A Return Carlyle Blackwell's Come to play On our screen — Like yesterday. Come to show Again his art — Come to do A leading part. Xow that he has Married money, He don't need to workHow funny! He just wants to Prove that he Is the star He used to be. A Gentleman Marries Yes, Adolphe Menjou is going to marry (Get out the hankies, girls — tears will flow free;) Adolphe Menjou was the screen's greatest lover, Its dark mystery. Kathryn Carver's the lady who'll wed him — (Powder your noses, he'd laugh at your grief!) Anyway she is a pretty thing, and that's A certain relief! She is a blond — and the gents all prefer 'em — (Calm your emotions, the man is not dead!) Let's wish him joy (what will jealousy get us?) And full speed ahead! W. C. Fields is Hurt Alas and alack, That he hurt his poor back, While making a comedy scene; How can it be fair, He should have pain to bear, While bringing delight to the screen? We hope he'll be well, Once more able to tell That mirth can be made into motionsThat before this is out, He'll be once more about, Or our anguish will fill many oceans. A New Comedy Harold Lloyd is filming "Speedy," Sounds like something that he'd eat uj Sounds like something quite enticing, Like a stiff meringue, well beat up! We who have so much of sorrow, For a little fun are needy — Harold Lloyd comes to our rescue, Harold Lloyd is filming "Speedy." ''Jimmy of the River' Jaime del Rio has gone on the screen, You who are fans — do you know it will mean That our Dolores, who bears the same name, Will not, alone, in her family know fame! Jaime means "Jimmy" — del Rio means "river" — (Warm southern stream that makes nobody shiver!) Here's to an envoy from Mexico's land, Help the boy's progress, fans — give him a hand! 63
