Hollywood High Lights
Flashes of news straight from the movie town.

By Edwin and Elza Schallert
EBE DANIELS will have to acquire a rabbit's foot, a four-leaf clover, and make a practice of looking at the new moon over her right shoulder from now on.
Any girl who has as much bad luck as she has had, should certainly begin to take every good-luck precaution.
Bebe's latest misfortune was to be injured in an accident on location, from which she has only recently recovered.
It was a curious sort of accident — one that could only happen in the movies. Bebe and James Hall were working together in a picture called "Hold Everything." They were in a Pullman car, mounted aboard a motor truck, which was running along at moderate speed, in imitation of a train's motion. They were in the midst of the scene, when there was a dull thud. They felt, the floor beneath their feet heave and rear up suddenly, and then the sickening sensation of falling, followed by a terrific crash. And that's all — so Bebe told us — that she remembered, until she woke up in the Pasadena Emergency Hospital.
What happened Avas, that the car had collided with the overhanging bough of a tree, and was knocked off the truck. Bebe was caught and pinned beneath the wreckage, but Hall Avas thrown clear.

Ramon Novarro, for a change, has the role of a sailor bold, in "Across to Singapore. "
"I am going around Christmas time," she said. "If I go in summer, it is too much summer. Here in Hollywood it is always summer. I Avant to go when there is snoAv and ice on the ground. I love it."
Greta surprises us these days with her mastery of English. She speaks in a heavy contralto voice. At the party, which was at the home of Rudolph Berger, the director, she sang a song in SAvedish, much to the delight of every one.
Greta came to the party with John Gilbert, but she went home alone. Now how do you explain that ? We couldn't.
It Means Luck for Florence.
Florence Vidor has been in the seventh heaven. The reason is her new role in "The Patriot," starring Emil Tannings. The picture is one of the most important on the Paramount schedule.
"It is the first big role in a big picture I have had in ages,". Florence told us. "Naturally,
