for June 19 3 1 91 ing ceremony as soon as the incubator baby Harold, Jr., is able to be out and around. It will be a double event, because Marjorie Elizabeth, the new adopted little girl, will also be officially christened and baptized at the same time. It will all take place in the Episcopal church, by the same pastor who married Mildred and Harold. Little Gloria, their own daughter, was christened by him, too. Theadopted girl is named after Harold's mother, who left for Europe directly after she knew the new babe was out of danger. Olsen and Johnson, the stage and Lupe Velez will screams, and their midget horse in appear in the Stage from "Gold Dust Gertie." play "Argentina" in New York, when she finishes in "The Squaw Man." In the meantime, her Gary Cooper has been warding off a nervous breakdown and may retire to his dude ranch in Montana for a good rest. screen "Junior, come down off your perch and study a scene your lines," says director Mervyn Le Roy to William Collier, Jr. At the last May fair dance (an exclusive motion picture club) Mary Pickford danced a good deal with Johnny Mack Brown. No, Mrs. Brown didn't mind. Funny to be a raging success in a picture, yet be pretty certain she will never play in another. That is the outlook for Reri, South Sea Island maiden, leading lady in "Tabu" for Paramount. She has any amount of "it," quite a Hollywood sensation — but she is to return to tropical obscurity after the picture is finished. Anyway, that's the plan at present. Zion Myers, brother of Carmel, who has made such a hit with his dog comedies, used to be a red-headed office boy on the Los Angeles Times. He's still redheaded but he has forgotten all about office boy's duties. Quite an outbreak of unhappy endings in pictures these days: in "Dishonored" Dietrich is shot; in "Svengali" both hero and heroine die ; in "Woman of the World" Bebe Daniels goes to jail. Both heroes are killed in "Public Enemy;" Dick Barthelmess dies in "The Finger Points," and we know what is going to happen in "An American Tragedy." A mid-western fan of John Barrymore wrote in, criticising his acting and remarking that John needed a haircut. "I've played in great cities, towns, hamlets," said John," but this is the first time I have ever known the village barber to be a critic." Of course Norma Shearer, Norma Talmadge, and Colleen Moore all married producers. Maybe Anita Page has the same idea. Anyway, she is around a good deal with Carl Laemmle, Junior. And young Carl is certainly some pumpkins as a producer these days. Paul Lukas displays some of his versatility — if you don't think it takes technique, try it with your cane. Rosamond Pinchot, director George Cukor and Tallulah Bankhead on the set of "Tarnished Lady." Two more sad deaths are being mourned by the film colony. Director, F. W. Murnau, and Robert Edeson, stage and screen veteran. Murnau, one of the screen's most interesting directors, had just returned from the South Seas where he had spent a year making "Tabu."
