For tune is with this girl who, not so many years ago, was waiting patiently — more or less — on the "extra bench" at the Essanay studio in Chicago. She has always done the unusual and probably always will, although what else she possibly can do is hard to say. She has risen sensationally to the coveted position of most discussed feminine person' ality in pictures. She has made many small fortunes and spent many. She is earning — some say seventy-five hundred a week; others say more — but it is true that her salary far exceeds that of kings and presi' dents. She is scarcely thirty, yet she has received recognition in her work from the government of France, which allowed her company access to the invaluable treasures of Napoleon's time so that Madame Sans Gene should be accurate in every detail. And now — Gloria comes home, with a title — a title which should mean very little to her when she looks at the young man who gave it to her. His official name is the Marquis de la Falaise de la Coudraye — and then some. His plain first name is Henry — and he looks more like Henry than he does all of his titles. He is very young, and very hand' some, and very distinguished. More, he is very real. America is giving him the thrill of his life, and he is naively enthusiastic about everything. When Famous Players honored Miss Swanson with a huge dinner dance at a Park Avenue hostelry soon after her arrival from France, Gloria's husband shared all the attention and applause of the evening. When he stood, with his tiny wife, under the flags of France and America in brilliant electric lights above their table, and listened to the orchestra play the Marseillaise, he was impressed and touched. Funny, but the Marquis really looks less like a Marquis than you would expect. For one thing, he speaks excellent English, to which he has added practical American. He and Gloria have known each other for more than six months, you know , dating from the star's arrival in Henri's home-town; and their friendship was no sudden thing, but a gradual affair. And so she has had plenty of time to coach him in Americanese and cinemese. Gloria looks as French as her husband, with her startling new Parisian hair-cut, which allows her shapely head a little more covering than a man's, but not very much! She seems much more democratic than she used to when she was merely Gloria Swanson They're both just nice kids. It is said that Paramount is doing everything in its power to keep its foremost feminine drawing'card in its fold. Although announced that she is under contract for five more pictures at least, thers are other rumors which credit her with considering other offers. Warner Brother; is reputed to have offered her $17,50C every week to work for them! Gloria, according to another story, promised Cecil B de Mille, under whose tutelage she wagroomed for stardom, that whenever h( wanted her to work for him, when he present contract expired, she would give him an option on her services. But it i: all up in the air right now; and the nexi thing on her program is a sojourn in Hollywood which hasn't seen her for many many months, for the purpose of filmini The Coast of Folly. Two girls are attracting particular ad miring interest at various film' function: around Manhattan. One is a gorgeou blonde with pansy eyes and long curlin lashes and a peaches-and-cream complexion She is Esther Ralston. The^other is a ven young, piquant person with -curly browr hair and the sweetest smile you ever saw She is Mary Brian. You. remember then as the Mrs. Darling and Wendy respec tively in Peter Pan. For being such gooc children in that picture, Paramount reward ed them with nice fat juicy contracts They are making good again in Littli French Girl. * * # Would you believe that one yoaiij leading man could play such a dirt; trick on another young man, the latter ; star? Well, he did; and I only wish could tell you his name, but I wouldn't b that mean. It was at a very nice dinnc given by the company which employs botl boys. One, the star, was assigned to i prominent position at the guest of honor table — a place he deserved, because everybody wanted to see him. The leading mar found his place card way, down at the end So what did he do but change the card so that he was observed sitting right uj among the magnates and other importan personages? I'll go so far to tell you tha he is about to leave the company he's witl right now to join the stock company o the director who gave him his big chanc-.'
