inn SCREENLAN D Jean Bary is blissfully unaware of Frank Fay's admiring glances. Both play in "Bright Lights." preparation by the scenario department. Famous line, Number 36: "What are you doing now, Fred?" "We are preparing to start preparations to shoot," responded Fred Niblo. * * # "It you want to get into a studio and have no entree," Bernard Granville, who had been here three days, advised a friend who had been here two days, "just walk briskly through the gate and if the guard stops you, say 'Technicolor1 and keep right on walking!" * * * Nancy Carroll wants Screenland readers to know that the reason she couldn't come across with her copy this month is because she went to Honolulu on a vacation. She can't rest in Hollywood so she and her husband, Jack Kirkland, stepped on a boat and sailed away. She'll be back soon to play in "The Devil's Holiday." Phillips Holmes will play opposite her.

Repeated rumors that Clara was through at Paramount are denied vehemently by that firm. Box-office returns still show that Clara leads in popularity. And box-office talks with any producer. Clara made up her mind to two things; she was going to get thin and she was going to take a real vacation. The first of these she has achieved. She weighs 120 pounds. And now comes the vacation. She is going to wave to the tall buildings in New York and then hurry back for her next picture which is already in A few million dollars worth of talent: conductor Dr. Hugo Riesenfeld ; producer Arthur H ammerstein ; director Paul Stein; composer Rudolph Friml and Lois Moran. After a year's absence Milton Sills returns to the screen in "A Very Practical Joke." His wife, Doris Kenyon, sings and talks in "Strictly Business." has been an ambition of Gary's for a long time and he can't help looking pleased about it. % % ❖ All the old timers were lined up on the Metro stage one day during the taking of their picture by the same name: De Wolfe Hopper, Weber and Fields, William Collier, Fay Templeton and the rest. Polly Moran walked up and down looking at them critically, then went over and tapping Harry Rapf on the shoulder said anxiously : "Harry, you'll have to shoot this picture soon!" Why, Miss Moran!
