THE SCREAMER Reel III hi 11111111 The Wardrobe of a Photoplayer must be kept up to the minute, that is why Foreman & Clark Have So Many Satisfied Picture Patrons We Absolutely Guarantee Every Garment We Sell To Be a Real $25.°° Value for $15.°° OLJR PRICE NEVER CHANGES Fifth and Broadway Entire Second Floors Third and Main iniiiiNiiiiMiiiiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiMiiiiiiiiiiMiiimijiiiiiiMiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimiiiiMiiiiiimmiiiiiiiiiMiiiiMiiiiiiiMiiiiiMiiiMii^ PLAYERS SUBPOENAED Last week many comedy players received summons into the Jazz court at the New Strand Cafe at Venice, and so Thursday night court was held with Hon. Hank Mann as justice, and believe me he doled out some pretty stiff sentences on the gathered offenders. Everybody had a fine time and promised to keep on having a good one. This place is giving the players a good time every other Thursday night with a special event. RIDDLES And Nell Shipman ripped out all the insides of her car in her back yard and now she’s trying to put it all together. This world is right topsy-turvy. One juvenile lead can’s go to the front. He’s too young, and besides, Vivian Martin wants Paul Willis in her own company. Theatre was jammed full to see Charlie Ray do his “Clodhopper Dance,” Wednesday night. He smiled and smiled, and tried to break into the noise making of hands so’s he could talk, and then his feet stuttered too. So the people laughed and clapped and let him go. Mighty nice boy, that chap. There is a big noise down at Millers. Fred M. is Preparing to let the dear public see Valesky Suratt in “The Siren.” Some noise too. DIGBY BELL DEAD NEW YORK, June 21. — Digby Valentine Bell, an actor, died yesterday at a private sanitarium in this city. He was 68 years of age and was one of the best known actors on the American stage. O. KILLUM Bessie Barriscale says she likes her new studio just fine, and on the phone invited us out to spend an afternoon watching the Paralta cameraman grind. His name is De Vinne. He used to work for Ince. He is good ! Now Gladys Brockwell wants to be a director. Well, I’ll wish her luck in anything. Jackie Saunders is going east. Her director, Sherwood Mac Donald, will then look for another directorship. Jack Laver, who used to publish a magazine here, has returned from a trip to the east. Everybody knows Jack and his smile. Lookout for a funeral! Charlie Avery said he’d drop dead if he saw his name in this paper, ever. Hope to goodness nobody shows this to him, just tell it to him. He swore he’d die! We doan wanna hav to measure Charlie for a coughin. George Walsh in chicken feathers-er-no, not that kind with tar trimmings, just frilly girl clothes — d’ju go to see him-her-in “Some Boy?” Scenarios Wanted Eor Crane Wilbur Five-reel dramas. Mary MacLaren Five to seven reels State rights. Baby Marie Osborne Five-reel dramas. Gertrude Selby-Neal Burns (Co-Stars) Refined comedies. George Ovey Comedies suited to his character of Jerry. DIRECTORS Milton Fahrney, Thomas Ricketts, William Bertram, Horace Davey, Harrish Ingraham DAVID HORSLEY, Los Angeles, Cal. WALLIE REID IS PROUD DADDY Three cheers for Wallie Reid! Tuesday a new leading man appeared at the home of Wallace Reid in the form of a ten-pound boy, regular bouncing, smiling baby boy. Latest reports from the Lasky lot are that Wallie is going around about ten feet off the ground. Wallie says mother and son are doing nicely, and in return we say many happy wishes to the happy little family. SCREAMER WISHES TO KNOW: If Chaplin is going to work for that Exhibitors Circuit? When Tom Ince will announce definite plans? Who is Mr. Carlos’ secretary, and history of same? Who picked the cactus from Bill Duncan’s pusson? When Hank Mann became a judge? Why they don’t stick the flaps on envelopes in mose close ups? Why more of you readers don’t subscribe to the Liberty Loving Screamer? Why Lou Cody was glad to leave Santa Barbara? When Val Paul will get his photomailers? What has become of Baby Marie Osborne? Where Dwight Whiting of Rolin fame lost all his publicity? Has divorce and the high temperature any a..-.nity? If you are a slacker? No? Then do your bit — its a dollar year! BUCKLES Doug Fairbanks signed Eileen Percy for a year to insure her permanency as leading lady for him. “Mother” Ashton, who has about as many friends in filmland as anybody, has been sick for the past week. She is getting paid by Keystone, not to get sick, but to be on ■••• the lot.
