They don't realize what heartbreaks and disillusionment come to many after only a brief success." But Fanny's impassioned lectures on the subject of the trials and tribulations of film players cannot wring a tear from me. I have sworn off feeling sorry for any one who has ever over a considerable period of time made more than two hundred dollars a week. "I hope that you are as thrilled as every one else over Hollywood's appreciation of its own heroine," Fanny announced, in her most superior manner, turning to wave cordially to Montmartre's cigarette girl. "Monta Bell has written a story called 'Liberty Bonds' that he is going to film for Metro-Goldwyn, and the central character in it was suggested to him by Ruby McCoy, the cigarette girl here, or rather by the whole town's admiration for her. There's a picture that will have to be made right or there will be a general uprising in protest. "When distinguished people come to town and ask who the real celebrities of Hollywood are, some one always brings up Ruby's name. More people would rush to her defense, I think, quicker than to any one else's, if a word were ever said against her. She is so sweet and gracious and pretty — and so unapproachable. Men have spent years trying to make dates with Ruby, but without success. She is friendly and amused, but aloof, and any fashionable finishing school would be proud of her gracious manners. "Norma Shearer is going to portray the role written around Ruby's personality, and that is perfect, because Ruby is more like Norma than like any other player I have ever seen. It is possible that Ruby herself will play a small part in the picture. "It doesn't seem quite like the old homestead up here now, does it?" Fanny asked, growing ruminative. "It doesn't seem natural not to see and hear the Duncan sisters wherever you go. They are always ready to oblige with a song and dance anywhere, at any time, even on Matt Moore's tennis court in the midst of an important tennis match. At last, though, they have started 'Topsy and Eva,' and have gone off to Lake Tahoe to make exteriors. "By the way, not quite all the musical comedies have been, filmed yet. Dorothy Mackaill has patched up her difficulties ' with First National and is going to make 'Lady, Be Good,' and Marie Prevost is go ing to film 'Madame Sherry.' It is hardly right for any one under eighty to remember that show, but I always recall it as the one that glorified osteopaths with the song, 'Every Little Movement Has a Meaning All Its Own.' "If that is Bebe Daniels just coming in, I'll collapse." But it wasn't Bebe, so Fanny, though startled into momentary silence, eventually summoned up strength to tell me the bad news. "Bebe has been having a run of bad luck. She got a bad gash right over her eye in one of the fencing scenes in 'Senorita.' But she refused to let a little thing like that hold up production on her picture, so she went right on working, with a sort of bandanna tied around her head. She even went to a Mayfair dance bandaged like that. Then, with the pain of that wound giving her frightful nervous headaches, she did a strenuous scene in which there were two breakaway curtains and a solidly fastened one. Of course, in the confusion of taking the scene, Bebe grabbed one of the wrong curtains, it gave way, and she fell five feet, injuring her back. She wouldn't even stop work then, but insisted on finishing some scenes before her back got stiff. The next afternoon I was playing bridge with her mother, and I wish you could have seen the expression on her face when Bebe telephoned to say that she felt better and thought she would go back to work that night. That girl has more sheer, nervous energy than a whole troupe of acrobats. "Bebe is becoming a realtor in real earnest. She is building two houses "to rent down at the beach, and her mother is just sitting back and letting her manage the whole deal herself. Ordinarily, Mrs. Daniels manages all of Bebe's business, but Bebe thought she wanted to take all the responsibility of this herself, so her mother is letting her do it. without even offering advice. Bebe has redecorated her own beach house in the loveliest combination of colors— lilac and jade green. Her friend can hardly wait for summer and the official opening of Bebe's Sunday-night party season." "Speaking of parties " I began but I got no further. There was a gleam in Fanny's eye. "No more teas for me !" she said, with an air of really meaning it. "Carmelita Geraghty has given the perfect one, and I don't want to spoil the memory of it by going to any that are less interesting. Her
