Lasky, first vice-president of the company in charge of production. "We are going ahead full steam, both East and West, in the production of sound pictures," said Mr. Lasky. "I have gone over plans for a most comprehensive program which will occupy both our Hollywood and Astoria studios to their capacity. This program embraces not only feature pictures, but also the production of short sound novelties and the reproduction in sound films of big stage shows. "We have engaged Monta Bell, the wellknown director, as production executive of our Long Island studio. Mr. Bell, who is considered one of the foremost of the younger directors, will come here from Hollywood at once, and he will have active charge of the production of several subjects which we plan to start immediately at Astoria." Mr. Bell is a former newspaper man, having been editor of the Washington Herald. Thomas Meighan will leave Hollywood for New York when he completes The Mating Call, his latest starring vehicle. Accompanied by Mrs. Meighan (Frances Ring), the Irish star will go direct to his palatial home at Great Neck, Long Island, where he plans to spend the remainder of the summer. Speaking of Tommy, his protege, John Darrow, who plays the role of a cub reporter in The Racket, at one time held the distinctive title of 'the handsomest page-boy' in the national capitol, Washington, D. C.

This is said to be the first time that Lupe, in a telephone conversation with a man, didn't hang up first. Clara Bow is the ideal subject for the motion picture camera, according to Hollywood's oldest film cutter, William Shea. Shea has seen them all in the twenty years since he started work at the old Fort Lee studios in New Jersey. For seven years he was chief film cutter for Douglas Fairbanks and Mary Pickford. He is busy at present cutting and assembling the film for Miss Bow's latest picture, The Fleet's In. 'Miss Bow has a perfect screen appearance and manner, and I've never seen a scene of hers which had to be retaken because of fault in her acting." George Bancroft lost eight pounds in six hours the other day, and he wasn't trying eitl-.er because his weight was just about right before.
