Over the Teacups

Da vies. I'd like to see Dorothv Gish and Constance Talmadge and Mabel Normand all in the role. Then you'd see some real competition."
''Like Juliet:'' I suggested, urging Fanny on. She is so excited over the prospect of seeing both Mary Pickford and Norma Talma dge as / ulict that she has collected the portraits of all the old stage Juliets she could find and pasted little faces of Norma and Mary on them to see how they'll look.
"No one will ever make a more beautiful Juliet than Beverly Bayne did, or a funnier one than Theda Bara." Fanny babbled on. "Mary and Norma ought both to be powerful in the role. What bothers me is where Mary is going to get a Romeo that will compare with Norma's. Norma has Joseph Schildkraut under contract for the part, you know. Douglas Fairbanks would make a good Mcrcutio. but never Romeo. In fact, the only man on the screen who could play it to my satisfaction would be Ronald Colman— Lillian Gish's leading man. But he'll be over in Italy making 'Romola' with Lillian "

"Speaking of Ronald Colman," she repeated, "he made a picture with George Arliss while he was waiting to be sent back to Italy for 'Romola.' It is called 'The Adopted Father.' If I ever get tired of seeing 'The White Sister' I can go to fee him in that. But I don't expect ever to tire of Lillian. I've cried at it until I am limp. Somebody told me that tears were good for the eves ; do you suppose it is true ? Do my eyes look much bigger and brighter ?"
"No," I admitted, hating to blight her enthusiasm, "and your face is so streaked it looks like part of a Pung-Chow set."
Fanny ignored me while she sought to repair the ravages of tears with a powder puff.
"Have you heard." I inquired politely, "that they are going to change the title of 'Flaming Youth' to 'Flapping Youth?'
Of course, I was sure she hadn't because I just made it up, but
