*v you can dance , and dine itv Hollywood* Mary M and the Men She Has Made ^ ARY PICKFORD is one screen star who has never permitted envy or jealousy to stand in the way of helping someone who had ability and she has unselfishly aided a number of beginners to positions oi importance on the screen. In her new production of "Toss of the Storm Country," the male role was given to Lloyd Hughes and, from the offers he has had since the picture was released, it is sure to prove a stepping stone toward success for him. The late Harold Lockwood became a. star almost overnight as a result of playing the leading male role in Miss Pickford's original version of "Tess of the Storm Country* eight years ago. Gloria Hope, who plays the petted, pampered daughter of the rich and overbearing "hill-topper" opposite to Miss Pickford's characterization of the ragged little heroine, is also receiving flattering offers to appear in other productions. Among the present day prominent persons appearing on the screen who have been helped by Mary Pickford are AVesley ("Freckles") Barry, who got his first chance to show what he could do m "Daddy Long Legs." John Bowers, who was materially helped to recognition by Miss Pickford after his appearance with her in "Hulda from Holland." Marshall Neilan, who started on the most important stepping stone of his career as leading man to Mary Pickford in several of her earlier productions. She felt that he had ability in the directorial line, and urged him to try it, giving him an opportunity with her. He afterwards directed three or four pictures for her, which gave him prestige and standing in the profession, and started him on his career as a leading director. M rs., Kerrigan, the mother of J. Warren Kerrigan, died recently at her son's home following a year's invalidism. The screen star was in the wilderness of Nebraska, on location with "The Covered Wagon," when the end came, and made a wild trip by aeroplane and motor. The sincere devotion between Warren Kerrigan and his mother has been one of Hollywood's most beautiful traditions. Send your letter HOLLYWOOD BLVD.

N ews that Helen Chadwick, film star, would seek a divorce from William A. Wellman, director, was a real shock to Hollywood. In fact, it was a double shock, because few knew they were married. The separation occurred nearly six months ago, but only a few intimate friends knew anything about it. The decision to live apart came after a year and a half of married life, marked by a series of disagreements and reconciliations. "Pure temperamental differenees," explained Miss Chadwick, adding, "we are still the best of friends and take great interest in each other's work." "I have not yet decided when I will sue for a divorce, but when I get one it will not be for the purpose of marrying again. Why? Because there is no one I think more of than Mr. Wellman. He's a perfect gentleman, but success in marriage with us seems impossible." to Advertising Manager, Screenland Magazine, These Complete Textbooks are the result of the most careful work of Carl Gregory, Dr. 1.
