I All DRUG AND DEPARTMENT STORES sSSi At latest reports, more than a score of girls were said to have had a falling out over who was to play Little Eva — and also, though this is hard to imagine, Topsy. George Siegmann will be the "terrible" Simon Lcgrce. Lillian by the Sea. Lillian Gish has succumbed to the lure of the seaside. When she first came to California, she stopped at the Beverly Hills Hotel, but now she has rented Mrs. Charlotte Pickford's house at Santa Monica. "I am doing all the pleasurable 1 and recreational things that I have wanted to do all my life," she told us not long ago. "I am sleeping out underneath the stars on a sleeping porch, going in swimming every morning, and am taking up horseback riding. I am going to ride along the beach, too, right at the edge of the surf, and splash through it if I want." Incidentally, she has had a touch of loneliness lately, because of the fact that *her sister Dorothy, who came to the Coast for a brief visit, is now in Europe, to be gone a whole year. Mary and Doug, too, with whom Lillian, usually spends much of her time, have also left. Syd in War Comedy. Syd Chaplin has forsaken skirts. His next release is the war comedy, "The Better 'Ole," which was such a success on the stage some years ago. In view of the war subject, the question is now being asked, around the colony, whether "The Better 'Ole" will be anything like Brother Charlie's "Shoulder Arms." We take it for granted, though, that S'yd is going to be nothing if not different — from his famous relative — as he has pretty well proved himself to be that in his other comedies. His starring efforts thus far have been unusually popular, considering that he has had to work under the handicap of being the brother of the world's most noted film comedian. Dick Plays Host. Dick Barthelmess is now among the Hollywood home owners, and he has been joined by his mother and his little daughter. Dick will be filming on the Coast for fully a year, and has already started his second production, "The Amateur Gentleman." Though usually very reserved, he has also taken a fling at social festivities. He was host recently at a studio party, which was in the nature of a housewarming, and also in honor of Dorothy Mackaill's birthday. Miss Mackaill received, among other things, a birthday cake bigenough to dance on, and a rocking horse, and just to prove that she appreciated them, she impetuously gave Barthelmess a hug and a kiss in front of all the assembled guests. Plums for Two. The screen version of "What Price Glory" will bring two comparatively unfamiliar players right into the spotlight. One is Victor McLagen, who will appear as Captain Flagg, the hard-fighting, hard-living army officer, and the other is Dolores del Rio, who has been cast as Melisande, the only girl in the production. McLaglen is the Britisher who was discovered some time ago by J. Stuart Blackton, and who made his film debut in "The Beloved Brute." He is a rugged physical specimen, having at various times been athlete, prize fighter, and wrestler. He won out over all comers for the role of Captain Flagg, even including Mitchell Lewis. Lewis was turned down, it is said, for the very curious reason that he did not look sufficiently American in type. He had been the star of the stage production in Los Angeles. Miss del Rio has already been featured in "Pals First," for First National. The role of Melisande is going to give her a bigger opportunity, however. It has, by the way, recently been discovered that Miss del Rio is a second cousin of Ramon Novarro. Upsetting a Precedent? Public taste regarding what is acceptable on the screen must be altering, or else the case of Barbara La Marr is a singular exception. Instead of being shelved, as are the productions of most players who have died, "The Girl from Montmartre" was released. This fact alone is not so significant, perhaps. But very much to be remarked is the circumstance that some of her other films, recently shown at neighborhood theaters, have been drawing exceptionally well. One of her old pictures, "Thy Name Is Woman," which was selected for screening at a theater that specializes in revivals, proved to be a particular attraction. It has always seemed to us that it was a rather abnormal sensitiveness that dictated the virtual entombment of a star's screen semblance immedi
