New York. Dept. ». N ot even knowing that Lon Chaney was married or anything, we were surprised to learn that Lon has around six feet or so of son. The boy is just about ready for college, and he is among those sons of famous when who are not ruined by prosperity. Lon gives his strapping son a small amount" of spending money every week. And the boy earns the rest of the money he wants, by working out of school hours. Bull Montana Buys Home JLdull Montana has bought himself a luxurious new house, and is as proud of it as a boy with his first long pants. The new home is brown stucco on the outside, and is fixed up inside with pink silk curtains in the bedroom, and everything. The piece de resistance is an imposing portrait of Bull himself, done in oil, which takes up practically one whole wall of the living room. Bull lives there happily, by himself, playing the phonograph and watering the lawn for recreation. Oicar, the Lasky Bootblack When you send your most adored hero candied cherries, you may or may not be scoring what the critics call "a personal hit." Some ardent lady fan sent such a gift to Rod LaRocque the other day, and all the ten-minute eggs around the Lasky lot though it was just too dear for anything. Rod himself just simpered and started to pass the cherries around, gurgling, "Miss LaRoque will pour." But he tripped over one of the loose cables that the "grips" are always leaving underfoot, and the cherries all spilled out on the floor. But Oscar, the well-known bootblack, picked them up and washed them off, and everybody ate them anyway. Real Life Drama dramatic incident that narrowly bordered on a tragedy was acted in real life recently by Nell Shipman and her husband, Bert Van Tuyle. An accident to Van Tuyle's right foot resulted in severe injury and infection. Desperate to get her husband to a doctor, Miss Shipman left their camp in Northern Idaho, with her husband out of his head with pain on a dog sled. For twenty-five miles, through snow and over treacherous ice, she struggled, with her husband raving in delirium. Once Van Tuyle left the sled and walked upon his injured foot, now infected by gangrene. While crossing the thin ice of Priest lake in Idaho, near Coolin, Miss Shipman and her husband broke through the ice several times, falling into the icy water up to their waists. That night, when their strength was almost exhausted, they came upon a ranch house, where a motor boat was obtained. The next morning they continued the journey in the boat, breaking a slow and tortuous path through the ice. The last three miles were covered by Nell Shipman alone on foot, and a rescue party was sent back for Van Tuyle. Van Tuyle suffered the amputation of his infected foot, and his brave wife was on the border of collapse from her terrible ordeal. Film stars are heroines sometimes in their own right. A Flexible Flesh film star has to take on pounds or dispense with them on order as casually as she produces tears. Estelle Taylor was given the role of Miriam in the Ten Commandments, on consideration that she take on a little more weight. So she groomed herself to weigh 140 pounds. Then Mary Pickford chose her for Dorothy Vernon, and the role required a sylph. So Estelle went in for massage and a strict diet, and soon weighed a mere 105 pounds. And now her doctor has ordered her back to her normal weight of 125 pounds for the sake of her health. Estelle is hoping she'll be allowed to remain that way for some time. Conway Tearle's Story v^ONWAY Tearle got a great laugh with this one at the Writers' Club the other night : The Irishman and the Hebrew were arguing. As usual. "Aw," said Mr. O'Flaherty, "I'm sick and tired of seeing Cohen and Isaacson and all these Yiddish names on all the windows. I'm going where it's too doggone cold for any Hebrew." ': "And vere," asked Mr. Cohen politely, "is that?" "The North Pole!" said Mr. O'Flaherty. "Veil," drawled Mr. Cohen, spreading his hands and smiling gently, "uv course, if you call Izeberg an Irish name!" F, A Delicate Situation act is what some stars have nothing else but. Occasionally they need it. Adolphe Menjou and Lew Cody, along with three Hollywood actresses whose names are not relevant here because we dont know them, were making personal appearances in a small town not so long ago. After the picture, the audience was given permission to ask questions of the stars. Somebody from the audience piped up and asked Lew and Adlophe: "Say, who's your favorite picture actress?" Lew looked at Adolphe and Adolphe looked at Lew. They retired for consultation. Presently they emerged and announced cannily, "Baby Peggy!" I t is not true that Bill Hart got mad at Paramount. It is equally not true that Paramount got mad at Bill Hart. They love each other just as well as they ever did, and Bill is going to continue to make pictures for Lasky. Charles Eyton says so. So there! Po A M artvred Maiden oor little Lila Lee ! Because her foster father became embroiled in an ugly affair concerning some missing funds, one of the nicest girls in Hollywood or elsewhere is suffering the cruelest sort of notorietry. The black head-lines scream her name.
