Real news and interesting comment about motion pictures and motion-picture people.
THERE'S a nrw one to tell every month on young William Wallace Rcid, son and heir of the Wallace Reid?. In fact, the son appears to be eclipsing Daddy as a raconteur.
The other day he said to his handsome father, "Dad, why don't you buy me a motorcycle ?"'
"Ye gods," said Wally, "what do you want of a motorcycle? Didn't 1 just buy you a nice, big limousine to ride in?"
"What good's a limousine?"' inquired Four-Year-Old. ''Xow I ask you, Dad. can you be a messenger boy in a limousine?''
While his mother (Dorothy Davenport) was inspecting the lovely new home the Reids are building next door to Bill Hart's place, William Wallace strolled across the street to call on his friend, Mary Johanna Desmond, five months' old daughter of the Bill Desmonds. Mrs. Desmond greeted him at the door and .said, "Oh, heilo. Aren't you little Willy Riid?" {by way of seeing what would happen).
"Nope," said the young man.
"Well, who are you, then?''
"Plain Bill Reid," said he with dignity.

AWELL-know^n producer was making the rounds in his studio and came upon an elaborate historical set under the supervision of his one high-brow director. "This set,'' said the h. b. director proudly, "goes back to Louis Quatorze." "Why," said the producer, "what's wrong with it?''
M.ARY and Doug are going to tour the world, making pictures along the way. According to report they will start about December 15 — or as soon as both have finished two new pictures — and will make the journey to France by way of Honolulu, Japan, China. India and Egypt. In France Fairbanks will probably f!lm "The Three Musketeers." Mary will also make one picture, European in story and detail.
LOIS WEBER has come out of her celebrated shell long enough to announce that she has two new pictures ready for release and has purchased a studio to make more. She is also introducing another one of her "finds" — a young girl, Claire Windsor by name, who appears in both productions,' "What Do Men Want?" and "To
Please One Woman." You remember both Mary MacLaren and Mildred Harris Chaplin were Weber discoveries.
THE old "Welcome'' sign has been dug up and dusted off for Florence Turner and Mabel Taliaferro. Miss Turner has signed with Metro and Miss Taliaferro is coming back as "The Painted Woman'' in the screen version of "Sentimental Tommy." Oh yes — and Lillian Walker is once more in the public eye as the plaintiff in a divorce suit against a hu^bancl most of us never knew she had — Charles Hansen. Sounds like old-home week.
IRENE MARCELLUS spoiled a perfectly good pre-s-story the other day. Flo Zicgfeld is supposed to have inserted a clause in all his chorus contracts reading, "Motion picture work absolutely prohibited." Then Irene, who came to Ziggy's Follies from the downtown Greenwich Village brand, announced herself as an acquisition to the Marshall Neilan film forces, to be seen first in "The Lotus Eaters." Irene is very, very beautiful.
