SECRETS OF SUCCESS. » MOVIES AND MOVIE PEOPLE BY MOLLIE MERRICK. HOLLYWOOD, April 156 (NANA.) — ‘The old-timers are beginning to come back into talking pictures. Hobart Boswo! and Willam Far- num—and who of those who followed movies in the long ago does not remem- | peo] ber them?~—both are playing in Norma Talmadge's new picture. Hobart Bosworth was the George |d Bancroft of the silent films. He it was whose “Sea Wolf” was one of the most realistic bits of pantomimic art the old screen ever saw. He mushed along Alaskan trails in some of the old Rex Beach stories. He was a beachcomer with a way when the South Sea thing had its first vogue. He kinged it in uniforms. He wore the khaki and cam- | as paign hat of the old U. 8. A, when the Spanish-American war tales came in. Willlam Farnum has been six years away from the screen, A combination of illness and accident has kept him from his profession through this long, pain-ridden time. He was to have come back in “Hangman's House,” and a re- currence of illness prevented. But he was once & star of the legitimate, and his voice has excellent timbre for the mikes. Adolphe Menjou joins the group of Hollywood's producers who did not re- new his contract & year ago, when he went to Europe. He is to make French | th and German versions on the Paramount lot. If this same group so chooses, there's Emil Jannme, formerly of their fold, who may be brought back for the same purpose. Von Sternberg recently re- turned to the local lots after the com- pletion of a talking picture, made with Jannings in Eurepe. The cycle of up- heaval caused by talking pictures’ sud- gen advent in Hollywood is calming lown. ‘There is roome for every one, and to spare. Hollywood never needed so many varying types of talent as now. Bill Powell and Ronald Colman are close friends. They like to slip off together for a holiday when studio duties permit. The trip usually ends in| p), some out-of-the-way place where Col- man isn't known, Recently Bill Powell ‘;ot a longing to €0 to Agua Caliente. He wanted to see horse races and.stand up to a bar and hoist a couple without breaking the law; try his luck at the tables, you know. He put the idea up to Colman. “Won't do,” sald Colman. “Too many ple know me there. We'd have & horrible time—aut h_hunters, sou- venir gatherers, and the rest. It won't But_still Powell persuaded the reti- cent Ronnie that some of this was pure imagination; that he’d have a very jolly time of it. So off they went, and into the gaming rooms at Auga Caliente, across one end of which runs a long and shining gey jeved the bar without dis- ““You see,” said Powell, “you can have as good a time as any one if you get the right point of view.” Along came the whisky sodas, up went the elbows. Then the air was rent with a shout of discovery. A red-faced gentie bore down upon the ennuied Mr. Colman with a bellow: “Well, if it isn't Ronald Colman! Say, if this isn't luck!” He seized the unsuspecting Colman by the elbow as the crowd gathered around. “S8ay. my wife would rather dance with Ronald Colman than have a lapful of diamonds! She says I never do any- Well, here's where with the detectives, Bill Powell and much di- plomacy. He kept to his room for the rest of the evening, and in the morn- ing, hat jammed down over his eyes, he drove away from the bright haunt of freedom. 8o now {u know why Ronald Col- man doesn’t frequent the tourist-trav- eled haunts, Hollywood is polishing the key of the city for Florenz Ziegfeld. This is the latest stamp and seal of approval on our standing as & beauty mart. Billie Burke also will be there when the band ays.
