Pjiotofi.ay Magazine — Advertising Section 99 Plays and Players ( Continued ) TEDDY SAMPSON' created, directed and starred in a pt-rjonally conducted serial drama that might be entitled "Running the Border" or ''How I Assaulted a Policeman," the other evening at Tia Juana, the famous resort just across the line from San Diego. Teddy and Lottie Pickford made the trip to see the ponies run and watch the green tables and the numbered wheel. Along about the witching hour in the evening when courage is high, Teddy disagreed with a Mexican gendarme about something and emphasized her feelings by slapping his face. When part of the Mexican army arrived to arrest her, Teddy had disappeared, and they failed to locate her. As a matter of fact, the diminutive star hid in a food cupboard in the kitchen, until the lights were out, when a couple of Los Angeles men of influence, who knew her and didn't wish to leave an American girl in such straits, disguised her as a boy and 'Tan the border" with her. Now Teddy has decided to let the Mexicans run Mexico any darn way they please. COSMO IL'\MILTOX, who is working with William DeMille in the preparation of his new novel "His Friend and His Wife"' for early production, says he is going to teach his daughter to darn his sox and consider it a privilege.

If she comes to Hollywood, where a good many women earn salaries of enormous proportions, he may get awa-y with the sox but he"ll have an awful time with the privilege.

He is not a censor, but the man who robbed a little girl of her shoes while she was wntching a picture. The little girl had come into the theater to see her particular celluloid idol, but it must have been one of those long and Capitol programs because while the little girl was waiting for her idol to appear, .=he fell asleep. Her shoes were unlaced and stolen before she awoke. W'e don't know how she got home. MRS. ELEAXOR H. PORTER, author of "Pollyanna," which Mary Pickford has immortalized in celluloid, died at her home in Cambridge, Mass., the last of May. DLTRIXG her husband's absence in Xew York on business, Florence Vidor was loaned to the Thomas Ince company to play a leading role in ''Beau Revel."
