Chatter from Hollywood {Continued jrom page 7 5) out to the set to meet the director, she suddenly broke away and disappeared into the publicity department. The assistant hotly pursued, but was unable to see into what office she had disappeared. Just as he was making his third inquiry, the actress popped out of one of the doors. "Ooh! there you are!" she exclaimed, smih ing. "Fine! We weel go out now. They say it ees all right for me to play in thees picture." Dorothy Seastrom, one of the blond beauties in "Pretty Ladies", who won a contract with First National, then was unable to start on it because of a general breakdown, is back in Hollywood, but must rest for some time. She is with her mother. Dorothy is a Texas girl and it was on a trip home after she signed her contract that she had the breakdown. She managed to get back to California, but was compelled to enter a sanitarium near Hollywood. Now, after several months, the doctors have discharged her, but say she must rest until they give the word. Dorothy's contract is being held good for her by First National. The foreign part of the education of the daughters of Irene Rich has been indefinitely postponed. Only a few months after Jane and Frances had been left in a Swiss school under the chaperonage of Miss Rich's mother, a cablegram reached the screen star, saying that the children were too homesick to stay. So they have returned to Hollywood. Romance moves swiftly in Hollywood. Elinor Fair and William Boyd met at the Cecil B. De Mille studio, where they were engaged to play in "The Volga Boatman". Russian music and intriguing situations before the camera spurred on their love story. So, on the day after the film was completed, the two eloped to Santa Anna and were married. But they couldn't get away with it. Correspondents of local papers are on the alert there, because it is a sort of California Gretna Green, and the couple found the news blazoned in the papers the next morning. Cecil B. De Mille has offered $2,100 in prizes through a Los Angeles newspaper for 200-word letters suggesting the theme of a motion picture to be directed by him. It was in this way that De Mille got the idea for "The Ten Commandments" . An interesting angle on the availability of Bible stories for screen material was related to me by De Mille the other day. The producer said that at the time he asked the public for an idea before, not only "The Ten Commandments" was suggested, but numerous other Bible incidents. Nine hundred and sixty-three people, for instance, suggested the story of Queen Esther. A gift from Mary Pic\ford! Will YOU have the honor of winning it? The prize will be a possession which the winner may always cherish and exhibit with pride. Read about it in the May issue of Screen land. Add this New Flare Skirt Frock to your spring wardrobe.
