Name City. ■p\ICK BARTHELMESS has taken a house -'-'at the beach for the summer, not a very long drive from his work at the studio, and he has with him his small daughter, Mary Hay Barthelmess. It looks to me like the beginning of one of those father-and-daughter devotions that you sometimes see. Dick has lovely week-end parties, too, and a lot of horses, and, as he says, a very" nice ocean. Incidentally, he and Ronald Colman and Jack Gilbert have formed a sort of "Three Musketeers" friendship. They foregather evenings and have long discussions over their pipes and are constantly seen in each other's company. Dick told me the other night that he would simply love to have been free to go in and play the younger brother of "Beau Geste" in the picture of that name, in which Ronald Colman plays Beau. AN amusing sidelight on the GilbertBarthelmess friendship is the fact that, when he visited in New York, Jack gave Mary Hay, now separated from Barthelmess. a great rush. Mary was pleased over it and Jack evidently was having a fine time. There was even talk of Mary's ending the "friendly separation" from Dick by a Paris divorce. Then Dick and Jack met. There is nothing like the presence of a husband for cooling off a romance. NOBODY was at all surprised the other day when Virginia Holmes Lamson tiled suit for divorce in the Los Angeles courts against Demarest Lamson. For everybody knew that Virginia Yalli and her husband, better known as Demmy Lamson. have been separated for several years. Virginia Yalli, who had not then achieved screen success, married young Lamson in Greenwich, Connecticut, in 1021. Rumor had it that he was the son of millionaire parents and that Virginia might give up her screen career. However, they both returned to Hollywood, where Miss Yalli 's beauty and talents soon carried her to the top of her profession. Her husband has also worked in hlms as an assistant director and is now a personal manager. The divorce papers state that he deserted her in December, 1024. but as a matter of fact they have not lived together since 19^3. OF course I understand that it is necessary for the players to have their names printed on the backs of their canvas chairs, but will someone please apologize to Scott Sidney, the director, for painting the word "Personal" on the canvas seat of his camp chair? "/^\UR GANG" is going to Europe to make ^— 'a picture in London. The Gang wants genuine settings for its story of London Bridge and anyway, the Prince of Wales is said to be just crazy to meet Farina. In fact, he just doesn't see how he is going to be able to rule England unless he has a little talk with Farina. Speaking of royal tastes in movie stars, the Crown Prince of Sweden and the Princess Louise met Gloria Swanson at a luncheon given at West Point by Brigadier General Mcrch Stewart. Gloria is of Swedish and Polish descent. The name of Swanson must have had a homelike sound to the Prince's ears. So there you have an idea of what royalty craves. The Swedish Prince likes Gloria. The English Prince likes Farina. And it is no secret that, on at least one occasion, the Spanish King inquired solicitously about " Fatty" Arbuckle. •"THAT bright young fellow, Luther Reed, *■ who has been assisting directors in their troubles for many years, will now be given a chance to make pictures himself. Sinclair Lewis' story, "New York," will mark his debut as a director. Lois Wilson and Ricardo Cortcz will play the leads. Allan Dwan was originally signed to direct this Story, but Dwan got an enormous offer from William Fox and gave up the assignment. Luther Reed directed Marion Davies in some scenes from "Janice Meredith" which were most successful, although Reed at the time was only supposed to be a scenario writer. "T A BOHEME" opened at the Forum •'-'Theater in Los Angeles with the usual amount of pageantry deemed necessary on such occasions and the fair dames of Hollywood dazzled the throngs. Skirting the edge of the throng with overcoat collar upturned and directorial hat brim downturned, John Miljan and I met Henry King, whose picture. ■'Stella Dallas." had closed at the theater the night before. Shake hands with the boss ! A handclasp between two of the greatest men in pictures — D. W. Griffith and Adolph Zukor.
