GOES TO PARIS
Irene dances, Mary makes history,
Pearl sings
and Connie causes a revolution in
the Turkish harems
Turks no longer tolerate obesity, and the fat ones are now among the unemployed. Verily, the cinema has certainly changed world standards.
Press Sheets For Turkey
We make the mistake, however, in supposing that everyone famous in Hollywood is famous in the darkest jungles. It takes a long time for publicity to filter through the world. And sometimes it makes curious curves. For instance, my Turkish friend who knows Constance and has a tremendous interest in the cinema, because his father owns a movie house in Smyrna, put this question to me: "Tell me," said he, "does Charlie Chaplin still play with that beautiful little Mabel Normand?"
Cut out the Armenian relief and send press sheets to Turkey.
At The Quat'z'arts Ball
I wish the dear censors could have attended the Qaat'z'Arls ball in Paris recently. Maybe some of them did. Reformers always go to such things in Paris, — at least a guide told me that they were the best patrons of the peep shows. All I can say is that if Hollywood parties are "orgies," as some yellow journals describe, Webster has no name for the art students' ball.
Pearl White was there with Irving Berlin, but I hear they left early, before the real merrymaking had begun.
A Stellar Censor
When Rubye de Remer was in Paris she beseeched a friend to show her some Parisian night life. The friend, being a gentleman, demurred, — nay pleaded not to be so commanded. Rubye insisted. The gentleman escorted the-most-beautiful-blond-inAmerica to one of the milder resorts. About ten minutes after
The, cinema has. changed the standards of Turkey. Connie Talmadge has raised havoc with the harems
she had arrived Rubye arose with flaming cheeks and hissed, "Take me out of this place — How dare you bring me here — I demand an apology — Don't you dare speak to me\"
Ah Zoze American Girls!
An old French gentleman, calling upon me, suddenly fumbled for his pince-nez, adjusted them to his nose and examined the cover of the May Photoplay Magazine, which has Betty Compson for adornment.
"Really, tell me the truth," he begged, as one ally to another, " is it possible for a girl to be as beautiful as that? "
I crossed my heart.
"Ah, Ah," he sighed. "I would go to America — even at my age, if it were not for that so strange prohibition law."
He had some compensation. He went that very night to see "The Miracle Man," now running in Paris, — and no doubt drank more wine than was good for him afterwards.
N. B. — The Turk just confided that Betty Compson is his father's favorite star.
In Sicily Mr. Howe beheld in a peasant's abode St. Peter flanked by Pearl White and Tony Moreno
Saints Of Sicily!
Down in Taornina, Sicily, I entered a peasant's abode and beheld on the wall a picture of Saint Peter flanked by Pearl White and Tony Moreno!
Georges Woos A Dummy
It may interest the gells to know that Georges Carpentier, Apollo of the mitt, prefers an American girl dentist to all the bicuspid plumbers of Paris. Inasmuch as I also find the buzzer less painful when manipulated by my so-fair countrywoman I go likewise. The other day the young lady informed Georges she was returning for a vacation in America, but a French girl of equal skill would take her place.
"A French girl?" queried Georges. "I'll wait until you comeback."
Incidentally, Georges has been performing in curious fashion on horseback in the Bois. Every morning he rides through the park and at a certain spot reaches down, seizes a young lady around the waist and draws her up beside him.
After watching him do the stunt several times, close observers discovered that the lady is a dummy. When asked what it was all about, the smiling Georges replied that he was training to appear in a film with Douglas Fairbanks ! (Continued on page 100)
