Ingenue — "Yes, isn't it, but please, Gracie, don't publish it now, because I haven't got my divorce, yet." DON'T look for the name of Mrs. Morgan Belmont in the cast of "Way Down East," for you won't see it. The society leader has taken the name of "Diana Duncannon" for film purposes. According; to everyone at the Griffith studio, Mrs. Belmont was the most popular person out there. She was democratic as the humblest extra girl. On one occasion, an injured dog enlisted her services. A handsome Coach dog fell off the sea wall on the studio grounds and dislocated a joint in one of his legs. Mrs. Belmont knew all about dogs and while other people were wondering what to do, she showed the nearest men just how to push the bone back into place. RUMOR alonj Hollywood Boulevard and at the Studio Club appears much concerned with the frequent — increasingly frequent trips of Lew Cody to New York. It is even being predicted and prognosticated that Lew has seen his former Friend Wife, Dorothy Dalton. in "Aphrodite" more times than art could justify. In fact, nobody in Hollywood would be surprised to see an announcement of an intrepid fourth or fifth reunion in that case. But then, nobody in Hollywood is surprised at anything. CAN an artist's temperament bar a general manager from the set? Is nine A. M. too early for a pretty girl star to face the cruel camera? And has a star a right to take two or three days off at the company's expense if her tooth aches and she is in no mood to laugh and look sweet while the nerves are splitting her head with aches and pains? To these questions Mary Miles Minter says "Yes "" And Mary won her nine days' trial in Federal Judge Trippet's court in Los Angeles against the American Film Company to recover parts of her pay which the film company had deducted from her S2250 a week salary. The jury gave her S4,ooo, practically all she asked for, and Mary shook each juror's hand and gave each a smile. The contention of the defense was that Miss Minter's painful toothaches did not develop until she was at dinner with Adolph Zukor, who at that time told her she might be employed by the Realart corporation if she wished. Subsequently, the defense stated, she was employed by them at a considerably greater salary than $2 250 a week. On one occasion she is accused of laughing into the camera at the American studio and spoiling the scene. For a short time the courtroom was turned into a picture house, and the picture with the alleged laugh of Mary was displayed. Mary denied that she laughed purposely — and the jury, after watching the film, agreed with her. A question was raised as to Mary's real age, and an affidavit introduced made by Pearl Miles Reilly, Mary's mother, in 191 2 in which she then swoie that Mary was born April i, 1892, so that Mary could appear in some picture in New York without violating the child labor laws. But Judge Trippet held to the last affidavit of Mrs. Reilly, that Mary was bom April i, 1002, as khe correct affidavit of Mary's date of birth.
