Photoplay (Jan-Jun 1920)

Photoplay Magazine— Aumjmisinc; SiccrnoN 119 Plays arxd Players (Continued) THE Singer Midgets— thirty-five of the little fellows — have been signed to appear in Sunshine comedies. Hitherto they have confined their various activities to the circus or the vaudeville entertainment. They will bring with them to the screen the animals they used on their recent tour of the world. WITH the announcement of John Barrymore's appearance in "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" comes the report, which seems well-founded, that Ethel is to return to the screen, via the Goldwyn route. She hasn't done anything in a film way since her Metro pictures. A CERTAIN director leased a house in Hollywood. While he was going through it he noticed in the bathroom a huge tub, three feet longer than the ordinary tub, and twice as wide. He remarked to the agent that a giant must have lived in the house before. "Oh, no," said the real-estate man, "only DeWolf Hopper." SHE was one of the sleekest and the suavest of all the female villains on the silversheet, was Julia Swayne Gordon. No home was too peaceful for her to wreck ; no heart was too adamant for her to smash. She isn't with Vitagraph any more ; she went to Selznick to make trouble for Elaine Hammerstein, in "Love." No — Elaine isn't. BESSIE LOVE is on a vacation now — her first in several years. The little pensive blonde who won her first success as the Swedish slavey in "The Flying Torpedo," one of the first Fine Arts, and who later became leading woman for Bill Hart and Douglas Fatfla^nks, has had varied film e.xperiences si%^she determined to proceed on her own: she' has made pictures for Pathe and for Vitagraph. Chicago capitalists are said to be backing the Love concern. Papa Love and Mama Love — real name Horton — are handling their daughter's business affairs. IN a theatre in Baltimore three feet of film in "A Temperamental Wife" caught fire and a panic was averted by a brave organist who kept right on playing. It was a good thing the organist didn't follow the suit of the temperamental better-half and the temperamental film and lo=e his temper. MAE MARSH is coming back to the screen. Just as soon as Mary Marsh Arms is old enourfi to permit her mother to turn some of £^ attention to work, the former Griffith and Goldwyn star will go to California. She will make eight pictures a year, for Louis Gasnier, Lew Cody's picture padrone, releasing through RobertsonCole. The Marsh pictures will all be adapted from books and plays. Little Mary Arms will go along with mother Mae and grandmother Arms, about the first of February. You remember Mae Marsh left the screen shortly after her marriage to Louis Lee Arms, a New York newspaper man. THE World Film company is history. The Fort Lee film factory which harbored many celluloid celebrities in its time, has gone the way of Biograph, Lubin, jnd Kalem. A company with June Elvidge a; the star and Oscar Apfel directing provides the only signs of manufacture aroimd the place; while Evelyn Greeley, Carlyle Blackwell and Montague Love have departed long since. William A. Brady, guiding hand of World in its palmy days, has decided to go into picture producing on his own ; Clara K-'mball Young, who made "TrUby" within r leojlfear ^Your Complexion Lo\c took up thegtassoftime and turned it in bii glowing hands." -TENNYSON Among the resolutions which you make on the passing of the Old Year and the coming of the New, let there be one to give your complexion the caressing, gentle care that will turn back the hands of Time.
