A 1 Christie has announced a unique popularity contest to *^ decicit who is the most popular actress amongst all the girls who commenced their careers there. The list given, which is an extensive one, includes the names of Colleen Moore, Betty Compson, Laura La Plante, Sielig Rhodes, Molly Malonc, Vera Reynolds, Alice Lake, Edith Roberts, Wanda Hawley, Grace D'Armand, Ethel Shannon, Priscilla Bonner, Anne Cornwall and Patsy Ruth Miller. Al is Mack Sennett's close rival in the star selection class. /^orinne Griffith is the first movie star to photograph parts of her own star film Declasse. She has' always been deeply interested in the mechanical side of movies and after a few chats with Gaudin, Vignola's camera man persuaded the director to let her turn for awhile. Robert Vignola was very willing to allow this, for he believes a knowledge of range, perspective, etc., is of great use to an actor or actress in their work. By watching others through the eye of a camera they can avoid making the same mistakes themselves. Joseph Kilgour gave a little party recently to celebrate his 366th movie death, and told his guests .that dying was a healthy form of indoor sport and that he gets strong and his bank balance gets fat on it. He ought to know, for he's been al it for years and can die in any position at the word of command. Ask any fan what a sheik is and you'll be told that he's an "^^ extinct animal in Movieland these days. But the female of the Sheik species remains to be exploited and Colleen Moore is going to show us what's she's like in The Desert Flower, a melodramatic comedy she has been busy upon. All she will tell us about her is that she lives in a box car in the desert. At long last the great gas tank tnat stands on the edge of ^^ the Pickford " lot " in Hollywood has justified its existence. It used to be every director's bugbear, and all sorts of mask9, huge canvasses, etc., have been used to blot it out when exteriors were made. But it fits well into Mary Pickford's Little Annie Rooney, for it is just the kind of background a tenement needs. It cost seven hundred and thirty-five dollars to put up, for it is 280 feet high and 273 feet in diameter, so that it would have been a pretty expensive " property " to build specially for the occasion. [ illian Gish will not go to Germany after all. She has *"* signed a long contract with Metro-Goldwyn, so that we shouldn't be greatly surprised if they cast her as " Juliet " opposite Ronald Cohnan. Metro-Goldwyn have also signed on Antonio D'Algy, brother of Helena D'Algy. This youth is almost a newcomer, though he has three years' in musical comedy to his credit. His biggest film roles are in The Rejected Woman and The Sainted Devil \Y/e are glad to be able to announce that Dick Talmadge is very much alive. Circumstantial reports of his death have appeared in print, but though the stunt star met with another accident, he has now fully recovered. He has just completed The American Eagle. So much foreign hosiery and knitted goods comes into this country, and finds a ready market because it is cheap. But British-made goods, such as the St. Margaret Brand, the oldest Hosiery Trademark on the Government register are usually more reliable, and co9t no more in the long run. The St. Margaret hosiery is exceptionally good value and a study of their catalogue is well worth your while. An interesting free booklet dealing with the romance of ^"^ industrial transportation is the latest of the Cadbury series. Most of the various articles that go to the making of cocoa and chocolates come from overseas; the sugar from Queensland, the spices from Central America and so forth, and beautiful and interesting photos of different parts of the world cannot fail to interest lovers of adventure Write in for one to-day.
