Slate Over the Teacups Continued from page 31 Dwan told her about. Gloria and her husband simply adore games. They don't go in for poker or bridge or that lost art, mab jong; they play parchesi and tit-tat-toe, and things like that. "The perfect Gloria Swanson fan was found while they were down in New Martinsville, West Virginia, on location. He beat his way there on a train from Florida, was found by "the train crew, and broke his leg in the chase that followed. He was put in jail but luck was with him, because the town jail was right next door to the house where Gloria was stopping. He stayed at the window hoping for a glimpse of her, and after a day or so, one of the men in her company went over to talk to him. When he learned how the boy happened to be there, he bailed him out, and then fairly stunned him by asking if he wouldn't like to meet Miss Swanson. He was taken over to her house and introduced, had a long chat with her when he recovered his voice sufficiently to speak, and now adores her more than ever. "Gloria will be back soon, but I hate to see her go away. That's the chief fault in popular players — they are such will-o'-the-wisps. Carmelita Geraghty is going to rush out to California to make a picture, though she insists that her official residence is now New York. Virginia Valli came back from abroad intent on parading before Hollywood in her marvelous Paris clothes, only to find that she had to go to Portland, Oregon, to make a picture. Helen Ferguson, or Mrs. William Russell, if you insist, arrives in New York within a few days to make a Pathe serial. Esther Ralston is off for Texas to make scenes for 'Womanhandled.' Marguerite de la Motte is here for just a few days to make the exteriors for 'Fifth Avenue.' Dorothy Gish is going to London to do 'Nell Gwynne.' Let's go over and weep on Lois Wilson's nice new fall suit." "All right," I agreed, "but first tell me what you meant a moment ago when you said that Paramount had signed up two players, and that you liked one of them?" "I hope I'm getting excited over a false alarm." Fanny grew indignant. "Jesse Lasky has signed Fay Lamphier, the winner of the Atlantic City beauty contest, to appear in pictures. And he says that she is the type that is going to be popular. And, oh ! what a bitter blow — she weighs one hundred and thirty-eight pounds ! Just think how Nita Naldi must feel when she thinks of how she suffered to get down to one hundred and eighteen. I can't bear the thought of hefty screen players. I hope that some one tells Miss Lamphier that she reminds them of two or three of their friends. I suppose when Miss Lamphier arrives at the Famous Players studio, the popular luncheon menu will cease to be thin chicken sandwiches on dark bread, unbuttered, with pickles for dessert. There may even be a run on ice cream." Fanny was getting weepy already as she picked up her things and headed for Lois Wilson's table. "Oh, well," she murmured philosophically, "if this terrible prediction is true, we'll have to make the best of it. Let's get up a house party at the Milk Farm." What the Fans Think Continued from page 10 From Seven Coeds. We're really just seven crazy "coeds," but we're dead set on telling the world in general what we like about the movies and what we don't like about the movies, so here goes. Of course, it's frightfully bad manners to start off with a grievance, but we just absolutely cannot understand the popularity of Barbara La Marr, Ramon Novarro, or Richard Dix ! Now, on the other hand, we're wild about Norma Shearer and we rave over John Gilbert. They're a perfect screen combination, and every time we see them we're going to shout "Rah ! Rah ! Rah !" Jack is the only one who does the "Romeo stuff" exactly to our liking. We've simply got to see more of that man ! Sevex Coeds. St. George Street, Toronto, Ontario, Canada. In Defense of Horse Drama. In your October issue, while reading "What the Fans Think," I came across some statements of a Miss Esperanza Escurdia in regard to horse dramas. Heretofore, I thought it was bad enough finding fault with the stars and leads, but why find fault with the poor dumb animals? Can't the Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals do something? Miss Escurdia does not think that they should be shown because they bore her. Well, I beg to disagree. I think horse dramas are pictures which should appeal to all ages — to the young because horses have been cast in the leading roles, and to the adults because the acting of these animals is so remarkable. After seeing them, I certainly believe in "horse sense." Indeed, either horses have a certain amount of intelligence, or else their director was a genius. "Black Cyclone" was the. second picture of Continued on page 114
