The dogs stayed. Miss Murray moved. It is no uncommon sight to see the historic old stages of pioneer days lumbering along Hollywood's boulevards behind four to six horses or mules, on the way to location. Recently, a number of these old vehicles of bonanza times were purchased in Nevada and moved to the film capital for use in wild West scenes. These were said to have included stages which had been ridden in by Mark Twain, Bret Harte, John Mackay, Adelina Patti, Senator James G. Fair, as well as the one in which Senator William M. Stewart rode to face a mob forming to lynch him. The miners had been told he was trying to have their wages reduced. It took considerable strengthening and patching to make some of these old stage coaches hold together, but they are looked upon as almost priceless around a few of the studios. Irrepressible press agents do much to add strange spectacles to Hollywgod's boulevards. A panorama of bare legs — some of America's prettiest— caused a mild sensation recently when screen celebrities appeared without stockings and with short skirts and sandals to enhance the effect. Dorothy Revier was one of the first to be seen. She wore a knee-length dress, sandals and a coat of natural tan. Nita Naldi, screen vampire, came' out with a serpent stenciled on each leg and a touch of rouge on both knees. Anita Stewart wore a pink pearl ringlet around her left ankle and Jacqueline Logan was just stockingless, with no make-up on her nude limbs. Clara Bow, diminutive flapper, had her legs painted a rich bronze from the knees down. Pauline Garon, Viola Dana, Clara Horton and Mae Busch were among those advancing the new fad. Of course, all denied they were deliberately seeking to attract attention but maintained that comfort and economy dictated the abolition of silk stock-, ings. Boulevardiers got a kick from the innovation. Away from the boulevards, Griffith Park, Hollenbeck Park, the Lasky ranch and the beaches see the strangest outdoor activities of movieland. Of the four, the beaches offer the most opportunities. From one of the big loading cranes at the Los Angeles harbor docks recently, Charlie Chase, comedian from the Hal Roach studio, was seen suspended in mid-air closely holding the figure of a woman in his arms while gaping crowds gathered to see what it was all about. Then they discovered the camera. A little farther down the water front on one of the piers were a dozen bathing beauties waving occasionally at outgoing steamers. The mermaids were there for scenes in "The Night Club," a Paramount picture featuring Vera Reynolds and Raymond Griffith. However, spectacles such as have been mentioned are not continuously in evidence. Hollywood, nestling in the shadows of the' Sierras, is a placid, flower-strewn little city, humming with business, happy with its motion-picture activities. Its streets afford strange sights sometimes but they just help give that kick to life in movieland. The Wreckage of Stardom Continued from page 46 others. They are all finding niches. They have not yet reached that stage in stardom where as much is expected of them as from the established personalities, but they too will have to proceed more and more carefully in proportion to their success. There is no wreckage in stardom — really. It is just a changing of the set of rules for the game. Mary Pickford is potentially as popular today as she ever was, and it needs just the right sort of play to bring her back with a flourish. Too much ambition in her case was dangerous. She made her mistake when she tried to grow up. She, as well as the majority of others, has always done best when adhering to her type. Mary has too fine a sense of comedy to waste, in this age which loves laughter more than any other one thing. Rudolph Valentino? Watch him. If "The Eagle" is good, he'll be back with a fanfare of trumpets, for despite all the sheik stuff, Valentino is an actor of ability. And he's done wisely to choose a comedy rather than a more serious type of picture in which to exploit his talent. I look to see much applause won by John Barrymore in his next film, "The Sea Beast." He is making a definite break from highbrow and elegant roles, that brought him only limited popularity, as the returns on "Beau Brummel" showed, although this was considered one of the best of last season's pictures. The new
