Think, in these aviating" days, what fun it would be just dropping down into any old country, knowing the language, and starting right out as one of the girls. Though of course it would be just our luck, yours or mine, if we knew so many languages, to find that our parachutes had fallen right among the Eskimos.
Does Lon Chaney Like Interviewers? No!
Lon Chaney slipped into New York with his usual air of mystery and discreet privacy. Lon is very shy of interviewers.
"Would you like to see Lon Chaney when he arrives?" the MetroGoldwyn publicity department asked interviewers. To a man — and to a woman, too, for that matter — they answered, "Yes ; but would he like to see us? No!"
They guessed right. Metro-Goldwyn's representatives, going to the train to welcome Lon in a big and noble fashion, discovered no Mr. Chaney. They could not find him at any of the hotels later, and they don't know yet how he managed to elude them in getting off the Twentieth Century. That man's so full of disguises he probably came in as his maiden aunt, or his young niece from the convent, or even wearing a set of bushy whiskers, like Trader Horn.
Despite all his efforts to keep himself a dark secret, however, Lon was recognized in New York. It happened one day while he was riding somewhere, in a taxicab. They were stopped by the traffic, when the driver of an adjacent cab leaned over and recognized the actor. "Well," he said to Lon's chauffeur, as the traffic started again, "better step on it. It is Lon Chaney !"

When Adolphe Menjou, and his bride, Kathryn Carver, arrived in London, they were called on by George Bernard Shaw.
New York. It was just a vacation; she came from California by way of the Panama Canal, a seventeenday trip.
She had a beautiful time in the big city, going to the theater, beingfeted. Fox gave a large party for her at the studio of Emil Fuchs, the artist. It was a tea, buffet supper, and dance, all combined, and a good time was had by all, as they say in the social notes.
Janet attended the New York opening of Charlie Farrell's new picture, "Fazil," and what a fuss was made over her! Just before the performance began a man stopped at Janet's seat to say hello. "Ah," he said in a very loud voice, "my favorite star." All the audience looked around to see who the star was, and the rush for autographs began.
Such is the life of a film celebrity !
