passes to his picture when it showed in that city. By the time that the letter was received and came to Langdon's attention it was too late to send the passes, or to even arrange for them to be sent from New York, so Harry sent his personal check for one dollar to each of the boys. Yesterday he showed me a stack of 43? letters received from boys in the East Side since that time. Did they want passes? Guess . One evening this month I experienced the conventional qualm of alarm when a telegraph boy called at my home. Thoughts of disaster to friends or relatives were quickly dispelled for it was from Irene Rich, telling me that she was married. Friendly Irene. Fm glad she's happy. The man is David Blankenhorn, of Pasadena, who owns and knows real estate, and who has been trying to persuade Irene to marry him for a year or more. During our many talks on the sub J* G[ Emil Jannings has made two pictures in H oily w o od which are reported to he his best wor\. Dr. Hitchcoc\ an Episcopalian Clergyman from Dublin, Ireland, visits his son Rex Ingram and Mrs. Ingram (Alice Terry) in France. C[ Samuel Goldwyn, Vilma Ban\y, Rod La Rocque and Mrs. Goldwyn (Frances Howard), and the diamond ject of marriage for film actresses, Irene's chief objection has been that she was afraid to jeopardize her independence ... to risk the career which she has fought so hard to obtain. But that didn't bother her when the time came. I talked to her on the set at Warners the other day and the career is going right along. She and Mr. Blankenhorn had planned to wait until they could take a trip to Europe for their honeymoon. But there came a time (it was full moon) when she had a week off and before they really had time to think up any good objections they were married. They went to Del Monte for a while and now are back furnishing a house here. Irene intends to make two more pictures and then take a vacation. She is delightfully enthused over marriage. Her two daughters love her new husband . . . "I never would have married a man they didn't love," she said firmly. As for me I certainly wish her "bon voyage. " She is one of my favorites, on or off-screen. Joe Jackson, scenario writer, and Ethel Shannon, the red-head, also are learning now the fallacy of the old saying that two can live as cheap as one. Joe and Ethel were married this month before a large number of film people and are house-keeping in a bungalow up in the hills. Ethel will give up the screen, she says, for good and all. — o — Tom Mix, reading that Chaplin's strong boxes may be opened, drove 69
