VIOLA DANA won a decided advantage over her sister-ingenues last month by having a mild attack of measles. Just to carry out the idea properly her friends sent her a few truck loads of rattles and toys of various sorts. So that their efforts would not remain unappreciated Miss Dana had the toys sent to the children's ward of one of the big Los .Angeles hospitals. UNIVERSAL has a new comedian whose name is Chris Rub who insists that his surname is not a contraction of Rubadubdub. When the Duke ot Sutherland and the Duchess, too — came to »,jahtornia they paid a visit to the Fairbanks studio.

N., the Duke. The fainting lady is the Duchess. MARY MILES MINTER is back in California — back home, as she calls it, showing what three years of sunshine and flowers can do to one's viewpoint. Her first "homemade" picture is "Judy of Rogue's Harbor" being made at the Morosco studio which she shares with Ethel Clayton. William D. Taylor is the director. HOLLYWOOD gossip had it that the deMille trip was also to be a honeymoon tour for that producer's favorite leading lady, Miss Swanson, but shortly before going to press, Gloria denied the rumor, although she intimated that she "might get married" before Christmas. Her new "leading man" is said to be a young man well known in the distribution end of the picture industry. OUT in Cahfornia they'll reproduce nearly anything for the pictures but Cecil deMille decided that it was cheaper to give Tom Meighan, Gloria Swanson and other members of his company a trip to New York rather than build a replica of the Grand Central station. Anyhow Tom had an engagement in New York with his wife, Frances Ring. FERDINAND PINNEY EARLE, the noted artist, whose subtitles and backgrounds for motion picture plays have proved a veritable sensation during the last year is going into production on his own. His plan is a very unusual one as but few sets will be utilized. His method will be to paint the backgrounds with the action superimposed or double exposed into them. Peering Behind the Screen WHAT goes on behind the motion picture screen? Just because the entertainment takes place on a flat white surface, don't imagine the "backstage" of a movie theatre is void of interest. For, right behind the Screen is Studioland, where the films are prepared. Realizing the great interest in Studioland, Photoplay Magazine has happily conceived the Photoplay Magazine Screen Supplement. Supplement cameramen are permitted to grind their cameras where they will, behind the screen and from month to month the Supplement shows the greatest personalities of Picturedrm, at work in the studio. The Supplement also takes you into their homes anri ,-'eals the personal sides of the stars — features you could never see in any other way.
