DTD you read " Corn in Egypt " ? trio fascinating book by E. Newton Bungey. This story made a great success as a film. Now T hear that his latest, work, '" The Autumn of Pride," which has just been published by Messrs. Jarrolds, has been secured by the Oaumont Fil.n Company, who are taking -a special company down to Somerset for the purpose of filming the play in its right setting. A Lesson for Mrs. NewlyWed. MANY a lesson can bo learned from the pictures. In " Hairpins," a coming film in which Miss Enid Bennett stars, she has a real lesson as the young wife who, by her slovenly ways, is losing the love of her husband. " Hairpins," is a good title, for it is the want of these that makes Miss Bennett a slovenly creature with untidy hair. But when our heroine realises that slipping hairpins are jeopardising her happiness, she becomes a visitor at one of the best little beauty parlours, and with the aid of a very exclusive set of shops is completely transformed into as an adorable bit of femininity as ever gladdened the eye of man. Of course, the end is a foregone conclusion. PKdrjQ<yrapk$ ami Paragraphs of Picture,?, Phyt and PIayety Changing 'Planes in Mid-Air. FIYE HUNDRED FEET above solid ground may not be considered the best point for a gentleman to leave his aeroplane tc join a lady in hers. But this happened the other .Sunday when Lieutenant Ormer Locklear was flying over the Chaplin aerodrome. Viola Dana was a passenger with Lieut. Elliott. Locklear, who had as pilot Lieut. Short, climbed from the wing of his ship to that of the one above and joined Miss Dana. The height of 500 feet is considered very low for the stunt, which was performed for charity. Miss Dana, Metro star, is now the first woman and the first passenger to bo in an aeroplane to which an exchange is made. In November, 1919, she was the first woman to fly upside down and do various daredevil stunts with Lieut. Locklear. An Interesting Revival. MORE than one critic has placed Fox's film version of Dickens's famous story. " The Tale of Two Cities," among the best ten pictures ever produced. Certainly William Farnum has never surpassed the part of Sydney Carton and Charles Darney, and it is interesting to hear that this photo-play is to be revived, and thus enable those of us who missed it in the past to have the opportunity of seeing it. — — Polidor Not Dead. OFFICIAL news comes from the Unione Cinematografica Italiana that it was not Polidor, the famous film comedian, who was killed in the recent aeroplane accident at Naples, but his brother, also a successful film actor. Polidor, who is popularly known as the Italian Dan Leno, and in many ways he closely resembles that wonderful little man, appears with that daring lady of the film, " Astrea — The Amazing Woman," in a new film that has been received from Italy by the London Independent Film Trading Co. Versatile Olive. BESIDE being an actress, a beauty, and a scenario writer, Olive Thomas is something of an interior decorator. I hear that she possesses a flat in New York, furnished entirely with fittings made from designs drawn bv herself. A Movie Family. EDOUARD TREBAOL, whom wo shall see in the part of " Bubbles " in Tourneur Morris's new Goldwyn picture " The Penalty," is one of a family of thirteen children, every one of whom is working in the motion pictures. The family is French, and the father wandered off somewhere while suffering mental depression over trouble caused by the war. The mother was left with all her brood of little ones to support. They lived in Los Angeles, and one day she read that some children were needed in a motion picture. Now every one of them is working most of the time at one of the many studios round Los Am»eles, and their mother starts off every morning with them piled in a motor-car, delivering one here, two there, and several more at still another studio. Edouard has taken part, in several Goldwyn pictures. Real Lace Stockings. E all know that the question of clothes takes up a large amount of a cinema screen star's time, but what do vou w STELLA MUIR, who has been called " the English Mary Pickford." We are soon to see her in " Heart of a Rose." (Photo : C. W. Middhton.) BERT LYTELL, the HELENE CHADWICK. Metro Star, has kept his a beautiful new photoword. His moustache graph of the delightful is off and he sends this star. Did you see her picture for you to see. in " The Honest Thief ?" think of the news that May Allison wears a pair of half-stockings that take her hilf an hour to put on ? The stockings are real lace. We shall see them in " The Cheaters." Not Pretty on the Screen. ACCORDING to Henry Lehamn, the producer, few beautiful girls are pretty in pictures. In order to see for himself exactly how the pretty girl will photograph under working conditions, Mr. Lehamn has originated an entirely new system. \\ hen an aspirant to film honours is found, a moving picture known as a " Test " is mad.-, in which the subject is photographed. from all angles. This is done under conditions as thev exist under the making of a real film. The "test" is then sent to Mr; Lehamn and projected on the screen for him. To Insure Her Hair. JOSEPHINE EAR I.E. the British Scrconcraft star, is trying to take out an insurance policy on her hair, not because it is likely to be run over or anything like that, but because she finds that the are-lamps effect it considerably. Miss Earle is very proud of her beautiful head of hair, and spends a considerable amount of time to keep it in condition. Certainly Miss Earle possesses one of the most beautiful heads of hair I havo ever seen. The are-lamps she finds dry it up and make it so brittle that there is a distinct danger that unless every possible care is taken of it, the hair may presently suffer severely. Dustin Farnum as " The Corsicau Brothers." I HEAR that the double exposure work in " Tho Corsiean Brothers. " is the lines! thai has ever been seen jn a photo drama.
