Strength, color, passion, action, love, hate — all these lope across the screen with a terrible intensity that leaves you gasping and breathless — declaring that this is life and this is love and this is Ken Maynard at his best and bravest. Yip! Fast and Furious Fast and Furious! Yes, sir, that's our Reggie, funnier than ever, and twice as handsome. You see it's this way. Reginald Benny as an actor alone is good enough to fill up a theatre twice as big as the old Roman colosseum. As an actor ALONE, I said. But when you take into considera' tion that he not only played the leading role in "Fast and Furious" but wrote the story also, well, now I ask you, how's that for talent? And added to everything else, he's gotten a little thinner in the face since his illness which makes him perfect so far as I am concerned. Just imagine the fix he's in. Ever since a motor car mix-up, Denny can't stand even to see an automobile. Anything faster than a hearse is too speedy for him. Just the sound of a horn is enough to throw him into a convulsion. And, as luck would have it, to win the girl in the case he is forced to drive an automobile in a big race. Fast? Furious? You've guessed it. And you'll be furious if you miss it. Postscript: I would like to stick in a little postscript here, if you'll give me the kind permission, to tell you about two or three pictures I've seen that you ought not to miss. Just for your convenience, I'll list them this way: IF YOU LOVE DOGS: Silverstreak in "Where the Trail Begins" is your meat; IF YOU'RE HUNGRY FOR A WESTERN: Try Fred Humes in "Range Courage". He gives a capable performance. IF YOU'RE STAGE STRUCK: You can see a fine picture of chorus life, realistically directed in "Backstage." CC Fay Wray is growing up in "The Wedding March". Chatter from Hollywood — continued from pa? I had the pleasure this month of seeing Kenyon Clarence Sills, infant son of Milton Sills and Doris Kenyon, who is, I believe, the first incubator baby of filmdom. Despite this handicap, the little fellow had grown sturdily and now looks as large and strong as any other baby. The Sills have just moved into their new Spanish home which adjoins the old house on the estate. All the shrubs are established, as the place is an old one. thus giving the Sills a great advantage over their fellow stars who must start landscaping as they build. On the day of my visit, Sills was engaged in buying some fine old Roman pottery from an antique collector. The two of them were discoursing rapidly in French, of which Sills retains the mastery from his old professorship days. Disappointment is universal in Hollywood that the reported engagement of Douglas Fairbanks Jr. and Helene Costello was to say the least, premature. Helene returned from New York this month, accompanied by Dolores and their mother, and she told me just yesterday she was not engaged to anybody. Doug Jr. and his mother are good friends of the family and have been for some time, she e 71 said, but she has no idea of getting married for a long time yet. Another sensational engagement report met with denials from both Greta Nissen and Charles Farrell, who, the story went, were about to be married in Riverside. I was talking to Charlie on the set the other day and he laughed: "I sent the following wire home," he said. "Dear Papa: am getting famous. Have been engaged three times this month and married once." According to Charley he is one juvenile vho is not going to get married for a long time. Here is a startling bit of information. Charles Farrell drives to the studio in a flivver. He is the only star to have done that in my memory except Adolphe Menjou. By the way Farrell. Janet Gaynor and George O'Brien all are reported to be in serious arguments with William Fox on the subject of salaries. George O'Brien is said to be heading for Europe with the idea of staying there for a while. By the time this is printed another baby is expected to be occupying the nursery with Sally Ann Carewe, daughter of Edwin Carewe, the director, and his wife, Mary Akin.
