Gossip! By Cal York and Studios P. and A. The spooks of Falcon Lair, Valentino's hilltop home, have been laid! A beautiful view of the house, now occupied by Mr. and Mrs. Harry Carey. Harry found out why the ghosts were so active there "Here I am," Arliss told the press, "a broken-hearted man! I had expected to put a very nice play on the legitimate stage. Now I shall hurry to Hollywood, make a talking picture, and hurry back to my parrot." But there was a twinkle in the eye of the little old gentleman as he told this to the press — with a very solemn face. OH me, oh my! Do ambulances clang, doctors rush, and yes-girls scream? Clara Bow cut her ringer on a broken bottle while playing in a drug-store scene for her navy picture. She was rushed to a hospital. And the newspaper story gravely and naively said — " Physicians thought they could save Miss Bow's hand from deformity." "LJOLLYWOOD was having one of its silly nights. Searchlights played on the heavens and swept the skies. There were dozens of them. Ground was being broken for a new hotel! A cynical old Broadway actor looked up at the sky. "Ah well," he sneered, "another Hollywood mother is lighting the candle in the window for her wayward son!" AT a quiet sanatorium away from Hollywood, Renee Adoree is trying to regain her health and strength. She has been ailing for some months, and tried a trip to Mexico, but it didn't help. She went to work in Ramon Novarro's latest picture, and a doctor was on the set with her most of the time. and A. Harry Carey, now living in Falcon Lair, the Valentino house, holding a spook-maker. Electricians found that hidden wires and batteries produced the weird lights and noises that haunted the house Physicians say she will be all right if she rests and takes care of herself. She will be at the sanatorium until August, at least. Poor little Renee, who might have been one of the greatest stars. Like the girl in Mike Arlen's book, "she is never let off anything." THE tantrums of Mae Murray and Pola Negri are now forgotten, for Hollywood has its Mary Nolan. The Nolan girl has torn Universal limb from limb. She has passed fighting talk to everyone from Carl Laemmle down to the boy who waters the elephants. She has demanded, raged, stormed, and caused more trouble than a hundred ordinary actresses. U had faith in her, and nursed her along, but an open break came during the making of "What Men Want," and Pauline Starke replaced her in the lead. Mary Nolan has been hounded to here and back. She's had a tough life, and the Frank Tinney trouble, when she was Imogene Wilson, would have completely licked a weaker girl. Mary, however, stood up under the rough handling, and everyone's been giving her a hand for her success at Universal. 51 A
