Teacups
incomparable hero, who is playing ways of motion-picture producers.

he is going to have girls in it who are flawlessly beautiful, it means something, because the director is Al Santell and he has been directing Corinne Griffith, so his standards are high.
"Of course, you really can't tell much about a girl's work on the screen from seeing her in one or two pictures. Or a man's either. When you consider that Ricardo Cortez has suddenly bloomed out in 'The Pony Express' and made himself awfully well liked, then there is hope for every one. Maybe Dorothy Sebastian will be a great popular favorite by this time next year. I wish I knew her. Sometimes, meeting girls whose work in pictures has never impressed you as anything to cheer about, gives you tremendous faith in what they will do when they get just the right opportunity."
"For instance?" I asked, a hound for facts.
"Evelyn Brent," Fanny answered, without a moment's hesitation. "Eve seen her in a lot of pictures that were just a little better than indifferent.

Evelyn Brent was there, and Christine Mayo, whom she is going to take back to Hollywood to go into pictures again, and Lois Moran, just back from Hollywood "
"Stop!" I ordered. "Is it true that "
But she didn't let me finish,
"Yes, Lois Moran is to be Dick Barthelmess' leading woman in 'Just Suppose.' There is a trail of broken hearts every time Dick picks a leading woman for one of his pictures. All the ambitious girls who are trying to get ahead want to play with Dick because his pictures are always so good and he gives his leading women such wonderful opportunities. But no one can think of any objections to his choice of Lois Moran, no matter how fond they are of the other try-outs. She is so young and cunning and quaint.

Her work in small parts convinced Paramount that Ruth Wilcox has a promising future, so they are sending her to Hollywood to make pictures for them.
"Motion-picture producers are strange people. Several companies made tests of her when she came over from London last spring, and just because she had individuality and didn't look like somebody who had
