Over the Teacups

choice I suppose she will have to go back to meek and lachrymose resignation again.
"Thanks be to the kind Providence that keeps Aileen Pr ingle from making personal appearances and asking any such questions. Audiences might tell her to go on making Elinor Glyn pictures and I just couldn't bear it if she got wasted on another.
"Aileen came East for a vacation and as usual, several picture producers tried to borrow her from Metro-Goldwyn. Robert Kane got her to play 'Hello, New York' under Paul Bern's direction.
"Instead of dashing around from night club to night club Aileen has been rusticating since she came here. She stayed in town just long enough to buy all the loveliest blue sports clothes she could find and then she went up to Gloria Swanson's country home on the Hudson. Gloria's husband has been building a log cabin and Aileen had a lot of fun helping him. Then she got ambitious and sawed wood for the fireplace. As though that weren't enough, she took a ten-mile walk up and down hill through the slush, and as she didn't have any low-heeled shoes that would go in galoshes she wore brocade mules. Don't ever try it. The satin lining all wore off the mules and her heels were nearly frozen.

But the man was called out of town suddenly and forgot to tell his theater employees about it so when Billy arrived, not only was there no brass band to meet him, but no one there had ever heard of him.
"About a year from now when he has had some big, featured parts, I hope they remember and hang their heads in shame.
From comedies to Tom Mix Westerns to featured roles in big productions, is Olive Borden's story of progress " in the last few months.

A little difference of opinion over the choice of a good screen story has kept Dorothy Gish off the screen these many months.
I'm glad he will do 'Brown of Harvard.' Jack Pickford was considered, but will be the heavy. I never really appreciated Billy's charm on the screen until I saw 'Mike.' By that time he was on a westbound train so I sent him a foolish telegram telling him that I never realized how much I loved him until he was gone. I never got a reply so I am convinced Billy never got it. I probably sent it to the wrong train ; there may even have been a porter on board by that name, in which case he may be cherishing my message of love."
Fanny can't expect me to take an interest in long-distance love affairs. I changed the subject abruptly.
"That little girl," she told me, in answer to a question about the lovely young person I had seen her with a Continued on page 95
