Hollywood High Lights Continued from page 91 had the thrill of their lives not long ago when they had the chance to behold the film of "Ben-Hur" before it was shown to the rest of the world. Only two or three previews were given in California before the picture was shipped East for the New York premiere, and even these were shrouded in the deepest mystery and secrecy. The dread of the producers was that some "insiders" might get wise to what was going on. "Insiders" are people who work in a picture, and others about the studio, and whenever they hear of a test showing they make a wild rush for it. Naturally, the players are more interested in seeing how much of their footage was disposed of on the cutting-room floor than they are in the production as a whole, and occasionally, if their feelings are particularly hurt, a leading lady has been known to have hysterics, and a leading man to curse quite volubly, which, to say the least, is disturbing. Besides, with a large audience composed of directors, actors, and technicians, it becomes quite impossible to tell what the general public think of the picture, and that is the object of a preview. We were fortunate enough to gain admittance to one of the "Ben-Hur" showings, which was held at a theater in Santa Monica, and it was an unforgetable experience. For the audience, who had had no inkling in advance that this was in store for them, gasped, cheered, and let out a wild burst of applause when they beheld the magical words "Ben-Hur" on the screen. We have seldom, indeed, seen an audience at a preview that watched with more rapt attention the unfolding of a picture. Their enthusiasm crystallized, time and again, into exuberant hand-clapping, and as they left the theater, everybody was talking with heated excitement about having seen "Ben," as they called it. Over the Teacups Continued from page 49 Just think what a disappointment that must have been ! Of course, Dorothy isn't very well known, but she is so awfully ambitious that a blow like that hits her awfully hard. "People who just struggle along in small parts don't have half the tragic disappointments that people who just miss big roles do. Look at Orville Caldwell. He was laid up for months because of an accident during the making of a picture, so that afterwards, he could get engagements only in small companies, and then when he gave up in despair and went into a stage production, 'Androcles and the Lion,' he was sent for to play opposite Pola Negri. He couldn't leave the play without giving two weeks' notice, and Pola couldn't hold up the production of her picture that long for him. "I've simply loads of other things to tell you, but I must run up to Miss Rambova's and borrow a dog to take shopping with me. She offered to lend me one any time I felt the need of good company." And before I could impress on her how insulting she had been, before I could ask her if she had heard that Marjory Daw was going on the stage in a play with William Tilden, the tennis champion, before I could even point out to her that Raymond Griffith had just come in, she hurried awav. Have You Written a Gag Address For the Johnny Hines $500 In our last issue, we published a long article explaining that Johnny Hines, wishing to encourage the fans to help him in getting up "gags" for his comedies, was offering fifteen prizes, totaling $500, the largest being for $250, for the best suggestions for funny incidents which might be worked into his next picture, "The Brown Derby." If you have not already submitted an entry in this contest, there may still be time for you to do so, in case you have received this magazine soon "Brown Derby" Contest? after its publication date, for the contest does not close until February 10, 1926, and all gags submitted previous to that date will be considered. In case you missed the announcement of this contest, look up a February issue of Picture-Play, in which was printed a synopsis of "The Brown Derby," and a full explanation of just what constitutes a gag. Some one is going to win each of those prizes. Why shouldn't you get one of them?
