Virginia Valli got the role in "The Wedding Ring" that Alma Rubens was to have had p^to by French if she hadn't been taken ill.
I NEVER thought the day would come when Lois Wilson would throw down her old friends," Fanny lamented, starting as usual in the middle of a story.
And I thought the moment would never come when Fanny would explain what the trouble was all about, for no sooner had she sat down at my table than she saw some friends and was off to talk to them. No need to ask what they were talking about — any time you see Fanny with Bebe Daniels, Kathryn Perry, Anita Stewart, or Dorothy Dwan, they are sure to be planning a bridge game. Bridge has hit the film colony like a visitation of seven-year locusts, and there seems to be nothing to do about it but wait for the plague to pass.
"Lois ?" she idly inquired — quite as though she had never heard of her — when she returned to our table and I asked for the details. "Oh, yes— I'll probably never forgive her. She has utterly ruined the swellest welcome ever planned for a girl. She has decided not to come West.

"That ought to settle for all time the discussion over whether Lois has really changed or not. There was a time when she permitted Famous Players-Lasky to treat her like a stepchild and give her any old part that nobody else of consequence wanted. But now. it seems, Lois talks back to them and evidently has convinced them that night clubs, bobbed hair, and the vitiating surroundings of New York have unfitted her for portraying a cloying, simple gal of the great outdoors.
"I suppose I shouldn't complain, but really Lois should have been willing to make any sacrifice for the sake of letting her old friends out here get acquainted with her all over
again." Sometimes I suspect that Fanny's point of view is a bit selfish.
She studied the menu with more than usual care and ordered without her usual entire disregard for calories.
"If you'll ask the orchestra leader to play some good crying music," she suggested, "I'll tell you the sad tale of one who always thought more of his food than his art. Fortunately, I can't remember his name, but he is the man who is playing Roosevelt in 'The Rough Riders.' The last scenes of the picture were filmed first and then there was a two-month interval before the making of the prologue. He didn't work during that period and he spent his idle hours
