lt.m,\» I'll i'.ir ■■:';<■ Cameo, Milton Sill's bull pup, is telling his gent friend the story about two Irishmen, named Pat and Mike. Milton seems to be getting quite a kick out of the story. chap, a six-footer. And handsome in a big, rawboned way. Theda Bara is Coming Back Ferdinand Pinney Earle, who directed The Rubaiyai] writes from New York with the palpitating news that he is to direct Theda Bara in The Easiest Way for Selznick. From the title, we infer that Theda has not really reformed. Jack is a Lone Widower Again If this thrills you . . . Jack Pickford has returned to Hollywood minus his bride, Marilyn Miller, Marilyn's contract reads that she must star in Sally as long as the piece lives, and as it seems quite healthy, there is no telling when Marilyn will join her new husband. As for Jack, he says that Marilyn will 'co-star with him in a picture next year. Doug Won't Make Beaucaire Douglas Fairbanks has decided that Monsieur Beaucaire doesn't offer enough gymnastics, so he is leaving it to some less exuberant star, while he makes a pirate picture. The scenes will be laid in early English history, about the time of SirFrancis Drake. Doug expects to spend about a year on the picture and will make most of it in the Bahamas. Tom Mix is Peeved Tom Mix escaped death three times during a single week recently. Once a stage coach he was drivingfell over a cliff and turned over three times, with Tom in it. Leaping across chasms on horseback and minor stunts like that made up a perfect week, until Tom developed a twinge of rheumatism. Thanking his stars that he had finished his picture w i t h o u t anything more serious than a rheumatic shoulder. Tom went to the studio doctor, who gave him a hypodermic injection in the arm. The arm promptly swelled up and Tom. a very sick man, went to the hospital for four days. Tom now swears to leap chasms seven days a week, rather than go to the doctor. Quincy Adams Sawyer A corking good Metro melodrama, with a smashing rescue scene. There's lots of good old hokum in Quincy Adam* Sawyer. You'd know there would be with a cast that includes Louise Fazonda, Gale Henry, Victor Potel, Blanche Sweet, John Bowers and Lou Chaney. Tommy Meighan as Ben Hur? Tommy Meighan is finding that virtue is truly its OAvn reward. Goldwyn, says rumor, in looking about for the ideal Ben Hur, held in mind two qualifications for the role. The star in the million dollar Biblical drama must have a fine torso, to set off the flowing garments of the time ; and he must have a spotless reputation. Which naturally narrowed the field clown right pronto. There are a good many fine torsos in Hollywood," but few spotless reputations. The combination was a hard one. Tommy Meighan, however, filled the bill to the satisfaction of the Goldwyn heads. We make this announcement, bravely choking back our sobs. Somehow we can't see anybody for this role but Valentino . . . have predicted that Valentino would surely get the part . . . 'nd now they go and make us out a liar! It's a crool world. Sort of a collapsible family. Joe Roberts, Buster Keaton's "heavy" man, acknowledges two bosses besides Buster. One of 'em 's Mrs. Roberts, and the other is Joe, Jr. "
