LLOYD INGRAHAM Los Angeles, Cal. WILLIAM V. MONG Care The Screamer PHUNIFILM JAZZ By Edith Maida Lessing Movie Heroes When the boys of the screen, march off to war, Don’t Sigh — Don’t croy — When you say goodbye — But cheer, as you never cheered before ! For they’ll be making pictures, That will live on History’s page. Pictures of fame and glory — Pictures of death’s dark glory — Pictures of things unutterable — no tongue would dare to tell — Pictures of — Hell ! So cheer them as they’re marching there — For every cheer will mean a prayer. Ain’t It Sad? First Extra (with a grouch) — I had a closeup with Doug Fairbanks in bis last picture. I went to see it last niaht. Second Extra (bored) — How did it come out ? First Extra — Oh it came out alright — all out when they cut the picture ! How would you punctuate this sentence? “A ten-dollar gold-piece rolled all around the studio?” (Make a dash after it. of course.) The Extra’s Dream : — To be seen on the screen for the first time, and receive a telegram from New York offering him a hundred bones a week. From the Jimtown News: — Si Dollin’s son. Blazer Dollins, done himself proud up in the city last week. He carried a spear in a procession in Theda Bara’s new play, “Cleopatry.” Now, girls, if you want to see a real live movie actor, turn out and give Blazer a reception when he comes home Saturday night on the milk train ! She’s Funny Sweet Louise Fazenda, Dressed in a gown of splenda ; She would make a wobbly calf But his gosh darned sides in laugh — Tf she ain’t the whole show — well, she’s half! Sweet Louise Fazenda. If Martin Beck Heard This — 1 Boh MncKenzie (imitating German comedian)— Vy iss it dat tier German army vould be scared to see Charlie Chaplin head a regiment— ? Dick Smith (stuttering) — C-c-come-on. S-s-pill it, Bob. Why? B. M. — Because der Kaiser vould see de feat! (The feet.) HELEN HOLMES STARTS NEW ONE The Signal filmers are off on the third serial, under the Signal-Mutual agreement, a thirty reel serial, published in sections of two reels. Production has started land everything is rolling along smoothly. The story is, “The Lost Express,” and it is a mystery one, written by Frederick Balfour Bennett, the magazine writer. The film novel has the usual railroad background with the McGowan touch of originality and the Helen Holmes atmosphere of cheer and daring. The Mutual exhange is already looking for the first two-reel section, for this combination of brains and individuality is always sure to bring home the famous premium. MOVIES Henry Otto has started work on his picture for the Marine company over at Santa Barbara islands, with a big cast including Tyrone Power, Frances Burnham, Gypsy Abbott, Jay Belasco and John Oaker. Some filmster party! O me, O my! Jay Belasco “cookie” for the Henry Otto Water company. Yes. They have too eat it or swim off those Santa Barbara Islands. Larry Peyton is now a soldier of flyfare. He is armed to the guards with swatters, not sweaters. There he is Larry, on the door jam. (OOH, lody, lody, hodja ever tinko datun. Gosh, fly on the jam, oh, tis wuss un kresy kets, uh gee, uh gush! an flyz do like jamb at thet — heh heh) Where did all the straws come from anyhow? They used two hundred kiddies at Tnce studio this week for a new picture. The place looked like a regular kindergarten. Mary Pickford donatd a beautiful sheet of stars and stripes to the Lasky studio home guardians. Harry Ham underwent a birthday one day last week and you ought to see the gifts he received. Bathing suits, tires, grease oaints. cigarette cases, and a beautiful lounging robe from Doug Fairbanks. The age? — oh. ask the election officials. Doug Fairbanks gave away several millions of his photographs at the Clune auditorium, Friday night. A man had as much chance in the crowd of matinee girls as a mouseache would have on the face of a schoolboy. This time it is a joker. Leave it to Eddie Lyons and Lee Moran to pull the nifties on us. Here they come with a futuristic picture called, “His Welcome Home,” which has Edith Roberts in it. Guess it must be home from the war — but when hence? Hank Mann is always buying a new car.
