I suppose you've witnessed the terrible, terrible deeds of that awful, dastardly, wicked. William Powell. Brr-rr-rr-I shivermy-timbers at the thought of him. At least, I'm supposed to shiver'mytimbcrs at the thought of such a villainous soul. But it can't be done, particularly after the way he signs his photo for the girls in the cuttingroom.
"To my favorite playmates,
In my favorite playground. Playfully yours,
Willie."
William, William! Methinks the only time you ever will be serious is when you are choking some poor devil on the silver
screen.

Over First National way they tell me that Colleen Moore and her John are yachting it back to Hollywood on a brand new boat they purchased in New York. And after they get it here they are going to take the first two letters of their names and christen the boat the "Cojo." Do you see how it is? "Co," which is part of Colleen, and "Jo," which is part of John. Could there be a more appropriate name than that?

These two Ziegfeld Follies fellows who have started the whole world questioning — "Oh, what did you want to bring that up for?" have got to answer to Paramount for being the cause of making "Tell it to Sweeney" finish three days over schedule. That little rascal, Chester Conklin, has the dialect down pat, and every time Director LaCava told them to go through a scene, Chester drawled — "Oh, what did you want to bring that up for?" You can imagine how the nonsense spread around the set. One day, right in the midst of a scene, George Bancroft spoke his lines, and painfully, Chester answered — "Oh. George, what was the idea of bringing that up now?" It simply ruined the shot, of course, but we laughed till we cried and had a glorious time.
While I'm writing this, Rod and Vilma La Roque are still away enjoying that most marvelous of things — their honeymoon. The house where Rod will take his bride on their return is off the beaten path of where I go to visit all our studios, but for some reason which I can't even explain to myself, every few days I find myself going off my road and down the quiet street where they will live. No — I can't explain it to myself, but I guess it's the feel of romance in the sunshine 'round the place. It sort of gives you promise of so many pleasant things to be.

There's a big fellow around Hollywood — an Italian — whose name is Bob Angelo. I've known him for years, and he's bucked this old game and starved through his struggles for many a long, weary day. Just picture him "hoofing it" from studio to studio; imagine him finding casting windows "closed" year after year, with the good parts "all set". But Mr. Kind Fate has at last been true to his fighter — to the man who wouldn't and didn't give up, and as I write this Bob Angelo is "sitting on top of the world, just rolling along." Bob has been signed to a long-term contract by Mr. C&cil Blount De Mille, and if he doesn't make good then I miss my guess. Thanks, M-r. De Mille, from me, personally, because when you do a little thing like signing up another one my hopes renew, my smile re-smiles, and the world is a peach of a place to live in!
