All the players whom we have not seen for years seem to have come back to Hollywood this month — Richard Dix, Lois Wilson, Gloria Swanson.
Gloria had even put her house up for sale, but fortunately nobody had purchased it, so she just moved in with husband "Hank" and her two children.
She will make pictures at the United Artists Studio where Norma and Constance Talmadge, John Barrymore, Mary Pickford, Douglas Fairbanks and Corinne Griffith also have headquarters.
Corinne, by the way, is to have Walter Morosco, her husband, as manager of her company. The story is that she insisted on this provision in her contract.
Walter is no mere' hanger on to his wife's glory, however. He is a capable scenarist and director and is very popular around the film colony.
Lois Wilson comes west to play her first role as a free-lance for F. B. O. Richard Dix, of course, followed the Lasky immigration to Hollywood.
And speaking of returns, there is the promised return of Roscoe "Fatty''1 Arbuckle to the screen. Roscoe has been working as a director for a number of years, but now he tells me he has signed a contract with Abe Carlos to make a series of feature length comedies, the first of which will be filmed in Germany this coming summer or fall.
In the meantime, Roscoe will tour the Pantages circuit of vaudeville houses.
The news was a surprise to. everyone ... in fact I understand even Joe Schenck, who has carried Roscoe over many bad spots in the past, knew nothing of the contract until it was signed.
For those who don't know, Roscoe has been a director at the Educational Comedy Studios, has directed a part of "The Red Mill" in which Marion Davies starred, and a part of Eddie Cantor's new picture.
From all reports he is not a very successful director of feature length comedies, having a tendency to revert to slap-stick a little too strongly.
C[ Adolphe Menjou now and a few years ago. It ta\es years of practice to handle a cane the way Adolphe does.
Pola J^egri follows her success in "Hotel Imperial" with a picture named "Barbed Wire."
Mrs. Arbuckle, who acted on the screen under the name of Doris Deane, is to accompany her husband on his tour and to Germany, I understand.
And Roscoe says he has to gain sixty pounds. That is how much he has lost since you saw him last on the screen. How did he do it? Simply by dieting, and by playing indoor baseball with Buster Keaton and his studio team.

"Marry again? Never! My fans want me single," declared Adolphe Menjou to me some months back.
But between me and you I'm not so sure about that, Adolphe is certainly acting the part of a faithful swain to Kathryn Carver, former artists model, who is cast opposite the French star in his new picture. Once she was in a few pictures under the name of Kathryn Hill. She is blonde with the bluest eyes in Hollywood.
