HOLLYWOOD, Cal, Jan. 12.—I doubted this one, too, until I reflected that stranger things have happened in Hollywood. The story’s heroine is Jeanie MacPherson, who has been writing movies since, years ago, she was persauded that acting was among her lesser talents, She has been with DeMille most r writing career. h MacPherson “proves” her plots. Onece her story is writ- ten, she diagrams it. She begins with a large red dot, repre- senting the main situation. Around it go smaller red dots repre- senting minor situations. Then around the outside go blue dots, which are the principal characters. If she can draw lines con- necting each dot with every other dot, she figures she has a sound plot — because she won't draw the connecting line unless catisfied that each ingredient has a legitimate bearing on the others. inished, a MacPherson “pot proof” looks like a spiderweb. One day she left one on a set. An electrician’s helper found it, decided it was the lighing plan, and undertook to carry it out. In the mcrning DeMille and entourage arrived to find their stage impeentrable for tangled wires and cables and arc-lamps — since which day Miss MacPherson is very careful where she leaves her handiwork. A British Lyon, aged six, is working in “They Date Not Love.” He's itichard, adopted in England by Ben and Bebe (Daniels) PERCY’S CAFE (] sToP AT PERCY'S CAFE Breakfast.

Ben and Bebe. who had been carrying on careers in England before the war, are staying to see it out, living close by London. The handsome youngster gets $50 a day, half of which goes to British war relief. New to it all, Richard takes to the acting life so heartily he hates to sit down between scenes — he wants to see everything. Which ought to go to show, but probably doesn’t. Herbert Wilcox, apparently heeding the cries of those who lamented the subordination of melody in “No, No, Nanette” is going “all out” on tunes for “Sunny,” third of his musical trio with Anna Neagle. 3 In deference to a pet superstition of his, he shot the first scene at 1:13 on a Monday the 13th although actual production was scheduled to begin several days later. Principals were Grace and Paul Hartman, the dance team, who will enact roles as well as dance in their famous comedy manner — he as a circus clown who wants to crash society, she as a society girl who wants to crash the circus. “This is my 300th moving picture,” Wilcox reminisced. “The first was in 1918 — ‘The Wonderful Story.’ It cost $5600 — for story,” stars, sets, everything — and it got the best notlces any picture of minesever hady 11 8 TE IR 7T performance | | excellent | work in “Three Smart Girls Grow is| bers Esther Dale, Charles Waldron, Paul | Perseverance, Rebekah lodge tonight T il A short business meeting was held in the indging.
