S, 110 W. 15th St., New York, N.Y. soul mate was "on the other side." Marie Prevost had a most annoying encounter with a movie maniac of the worst kind. She said that a crank was constantly calling her up on the telephone and writing salacious letters. It got on her nerves fearfully. Finally the man was located and jailed. Bebe's Persecutors. ebe Daniels has been the object of the persecutions of more "nuts" than any other actress. A youth entered Bebe's home not long ago, and told her mother that he would kill the actress or divulge some secret of her life if she did not pay him. He was turned over to the authorities and was pronounced a dope fiend. Barbara LaMarr claims as her wildest nut fan a man who really lives on nuts and works at the Battle Creek sanitarium. This chap is terribly concerned about Barbara's diet. Every time he sees her play a scene in which she is eating, he writes and tells her what she .should have been consuming at that moment. Helen Must Be Saved! H elen Ferguson has a most consciencious movie maniac. He writes her regularly, telling her she must be converted. "I want to save you from yourself !" he tells her. However, he can't do it by absent treatment, apparently. May Allison's movie maniac was perhaps the most virulent of all. He came down from the north, he said, to marry her. He sent her telegrams and letters every day, and she was very much worried and frightened about it. Finally, he was put in jail for annoying her. She thought she had heard the last of him, when one day the Santa Ana jail officials declared they had a man down there who claimed to be May Allison's husband. Miss Allison journeyed down to satisfy her curiosity. He turned out to be the same man who had annoyed her so at the Metro studio. An Age-old Flame of Alice Terry's! eautiful Alice Terry seems to have escaped the nuts pretty well. However, there is one man who writes her frequently, insisting that he knew her and loved her in a former incarnation and who tells her cheerily that she will never be happy until she divorces Rex Ingram and marries him ! Tito Valentino is the assumed name of an ardent admirer of Rodolf Valentino. The youth claims to be a brother of Valentino's, but Rudie disclaims him. They Take Star-Roles Seriously T he movie maniac's disorder takes different forms. Bertram Grassby played the role of a crystal-gazer in For the Defense. Later, he heard from crystal-gazing fans all over the country who thought he really could read the translucent globe and asking that he tell their fortunes. One morning Grassby got a call on the telephone. The voice that came over the wire was that of a woman from a small town in the middle west, who had actually journeyed all the way to California to see the actor. She said the spirits had come to her and urged her to a reading from Grassby. Grassby declared that his real fortune-telling powers extended only to reading teacup grounds and very little of that ! But he had a hard time convincing her. An Irish boy in Birmingham, England, writes constantly to Matt Moore, begging him to give up acting and espouse the Sinn Fein cause. "I don't know whether it's because he thinks that as an actor I'm a good fighter, or what," explained Moore. "He also declares that we three boys, Tom, Owen and myself, are not brothers, but that we are just pretending for the sake of the publicity. He says he is sure that Owen is an Italian !" Bill Hart Was Lady-Killer 'ill Hart has always been the idol of the misunderstood wives and disappointed spinsters. His sister says more than once she has found women sitting on Bill's doorstep. Bill was their ideal of manhood, they all said. But it wasn't middle-aged women done who were crazy about Hart. Two young girls arrived at his studio one morning. They were from Seattle and had walked all the way to see him ! Both made no bones of that fact that they were ardently in love with him. Yet there seemed to be no jealousy between them. He* gave them a good talking-to, and they went away. Little Jackie Coogan has a train of movie maniacs on his trail. Most of these have schemes for him to invest his money in — everything from oil wells to Colonel Seller's bright idea of bottling sunshine to send to the North Pole. Worst of all, there is the mother of a beautiful little girl who wants her child affianced to Jackie! She thinks the arrangement would be fine ! Of course, they wouldn't be married until they were of age, but wouldn't it be nice to have everything all settled !
