to Thomas Ince, with whom he signed a contract in June. His first Hollywood film is Christine of the Hungry Heart. Ivy Duke is back in Berlin working on Decameron Nights.
Teutonic "Phlegm"!
Ivy Duke found German film artists and directors very far removed from the traditional phlegmatic Teuton of popular fancy. " It appears," she says, " that film making in Germany is a sort of competition in which director and directed see who can get the most excited and worked up in a short time." The director usually cries first, then the artists begin to weep, the camera man follows suit and the art director soon joins the chorus, and, as they usually take about sixteen to eighteen months over a film, the handkerchief trade in Germany must be in a flourishing condition. Xeedless to say, the quiet methods of Hubert Wilcox came as a complete surprise to them."
Very Like Louise.
The clever make-up of a Kensington reader thoroughly deserved the first prize it won at the Hammersmith Palais de Danse, when Douglas Fairbanks and Mary Pickford acted as judges. " I hardly expected to come in for a first," writes she, " and I was ever so thrilled at being congratulated by Doug and Mary, and afterwards photographed with them."
Activities at Stolls.
Stolls studio is very proud of its manager these days. Genial Joe Grossman was recently invested with the Order of St. John of Jerusalem bv H.M. The King at Buckingham Palace, for special services during the war.

Joe is getting used to being exhibited to all and sundry visitors to the studio, and says he's now qualifying for the Order of St. Job of Cricklewood which will doubtless be conferred upon him in due course by the Lord Mayor of Cricklewood (if there is such a person). Anyway he's earned both.
Enter Marshall Films.
Stella Arbenina, who has done much clever film work in Russian, French, Italian and German productions is to be featured by an English company shortly. Marshall' Films, hitherto known only as buyers and renters of films will start active production this summer. Stella Arbenina has been playing the unhappy countess in " In The Next Room," the thrilling murder mystery melodrama at the St. Martin s Theatre.
