(C^'Zed9f>rom was immediately blamed ; but he stoutly claims i hat all his freckles are his own, and that they v\ill never leave him, and" further-more they are NOT contagious. Sandals for Hot Weather. LOUISE GLAUM is famovis for her originalideas in dress, and she is now wearing possibly the most sensible footwear for tha hot woather. They are sandals made of white kid, and are identical witli t he footwear adopted by fashionable ladies centuries ago. These sandals are ideal for walkiffg and for home wear. Miss Glaum has had soveral pairs made in different coloured leather, to match her respective sports outfits. The Most Photographed Girl. I HEAR that Helene Chadwick is entranced with her first experience of the Californian desert, where scenes have been taken for Goldwyn's new photo-play, " Cupid the Cowpuncher," in which Will Rogers plays the leading male part. Miss Chadwick has been called the most photographed girl in America. Hitherto her photo-play experience has been confined chiefly to drawing-room and ballroom scenes. Her work for Will Rogers is entirely of a different order. Rogers took a bunch of cowboys along with him," and I hear that Miss Chadwick was «no of the most enthusiastic applauders of their dare-devil horse-riding stunts. Breaking Horses in Front of the Camera. TOM MIX has added ten wild horses to hisranch at Mixville, California, and when we see his now film, entitled "Untamed," we shall actually see Tom breaking them in. British Actor's Next Part. PERCY MARMONT, the British actor, who, in the little timo he has been in America, has acted with Alice Joyce, Betty Blytho, Alico Brady, and Elsio Ferguson, is to bo Norma Talmadge's loading man in her noxt picture, entitled " Branded Women." — — I Should Think So. ANY camera-man who works for Allan Dwan must have an alarm clock. Tony Guadio, who has just signed with the well-known producer, arises each morning at five o'clock in order to securo some atmospheric effects of the lights and shadows at daybreak. Guadio plans to give a private showing of tho effects obtained before the American Society of Cinomatogrnpbor*, of which lie is a member. H. V. ESMOND and JOSE COLLINS, whom we are to see in the new B. and C. production "The Sword ol Damocles." This is H. V. Esmond's first Him, and he is taking it most seriously. He is also the author of the pboto-play. A Successor to GaLv. U/iDLLE. GENEVE FELIX plays the part 1V1 °f th° pretty luxury -loving little variety actress in a coming Kilncr film entitled " Dreams of Youth." It is said that Mdlle. Felix is a possible, successor to Gaby Deslys as a leading French film artist. Sho has youth, good looks, a senseof character, and strong powers of expression. A Story of Charles Ray. CHARLES RAY is as bashful as any small schoolgirl. He seeks no publicity, never sees reporters, arid if there are visitors around the studios shy Charles takes himself out of sight somewhere. The other evening the Ray Company were .working on an exterior down in a rather low neighbourhood, which is constantly patrolled by the police. It was about eleven o'clock at night, and Mr. Ray was wearing a handkerchief wound round his neck, and his cap pulled low. The picture had been rehearsed for several minutes, and they were ready to " shoot " the scene. Mr. Ray was lurking around the corner of MARY MILES MINTER. A delightful new portrait snapped as she was coming home irom an aiternoon at goli. the building in the dark, waiting for thedirector to call " Camera." Along tho street, quite in the dark, comes a great, big husky policeman, and, seeing Charles peeping around tho corner, rushed , up and grabbed him by tho collar and shook him. His Idea of a Lark. WELL, to say tho least, Charles Ray was surprised to death. Ho jerked away, and said : " Sec, here ; what's the idea ? " With that tho policeman gave him another shaking down, and informed him "not to talk back." And in a few seconds moro the famous Inco star would have been getting a free ride to the county hotel ; but the director rushod around tho corner to see what was detaining Charles, and explanations wero in order. But if the director hadn't come along Charles Ray wouldn't have told the policeman who he was. He would have gone right on to tho police-station, and let h\m find out who ho had arrested when they got to the station. "That would have been' rich, I think," said Mr. Ray to the director. " You spoilt a porfectly good lark for me. I would have got just the thrill 1 needed in this picture, and perhaps given a better interpretation of tho scene, if you had really let mo get pinched." Such are tho eccentricities of genius. Fay Filmer, r GEORGE BEBAN, Junr. The otfo»r day an article appeared in the PICTURE SHOW all about GEORGE BF.BAN. Here is his beautiful boy that was mentioned. FROM " OVER THERE." Notes and News from Los Angeles. Her Hair is Real. ON the Lasky lot they are very fond of teasing Wanda Hawley, the new Realart star, about the blondncss of her hair, for she is very sensitive on the subject of its realness. and anxious to impress upon everybody that she is not a blondo of the poroxide persuasion. Recently Bryant Washburn and Walter Hiers, who are both aware of Miss Hawley's little weakness, were teising her on tho subject, as usual, and asking her how often it was necessary to have it " touched up." Thoy even politely refused to bo convinced when, in despair, tho littlo star pulled otit innumerable hairpins, and earnestly begged them to inspect the roots of her golden tresses. Finally, with tears in her eyes, she rushed out of the studio, and returned with a vory much amazed young man, whose brawny fist she thrust under the noses of both sceptics. Then they gave in with a laugh, allowing that Mr. Hawley's argument was indisputable and that, of course, ho ought to know. The Monkey and the Kitten. STUART HOLMES has a pet monkey from Togoland, which belongs to the smallest variety in existence. It goes about with its master, tucked away in his coat pocket, and remains there whilst he is at work, when he iliseurds the coat and hangs it up, monkey and all, boliind his dressing-room door. It was rei-ontly announced that the monkey was missing, and after a frenzied search of the entire studio.' it was discovered peacefully asleep amongst a family of nine kittens, the recently acquired personal property of tho studio cat. — — Why the Car Raced. SEENA OWEN is the recent purchaser of a fine new high-powered car, and she has, vory naturally, been itching to see how fast it will really go— only, of cours£ there are tin. t rathe laws as an obstacle. The other day she was driving from Hollywood into the city, keeping strictly within the speed-limit, when a big car passed her at a rate which mado her own look as if it wero standing still. Noticing that the traliic officer at the crossing didn't appear to bo a bit disturbed at this phenomenon, she decidedthat. she hod as much right to s|>ood as any other free-born American citizen, so at once started to " let hor rip." At the very next street she was held up by a polite officer on a motor-bike,, who took her name and address and invited her to appear before tho judgo on tho following morning to explain matters. When she in> dignantly protested and called his attention to the other ear, by then a rapidly diminishing perspective on the distant horizon, ho answered : But that's the sheriff's car. la-ly. They're cha«ing some motor bondits," Elsie Codd.
