MOMENTOUS ERRORS. By BURTIS MOVIES AND MOVIE PEOPLE BY MOLLIE HOLLYWOOD, July 21 (NANA)— When Adolphe Menjou began his first English-speaking talkie Tuesday Holly- ‘wood became more nearly the place that it had been of yore than any time since sound fiilms reorganized village life and the careers of many of the famous. ‘With the advent of talk the Menjous and Jannings and Veldts were out.| One by one they are coming back to make foreign versions. And some of those hired to make German, French and Spanish fiilms will imperceptably elip into American roles and the old| order will be restored. ‘The famous old pirate ship which has been the scene of more movie blood- shed than any barque in history burned | to the water’s edge at Long Beach. Since sea pictures and animal pictures are always a success with the public, old galleon has done service with many of our best studios. It has been burned in miniature a score of time. It has been blown to bits, again in miniature, times without number. It has been scuttled and gone down with its captain, a valiant little | doll, standing on its tiny deck. And it has survived all the movie disaster. For no matter how realistic our sea scenes are, most of them are done with toy hoats on toy seas. | Sam Goldwyn did indulge in the| grand gesture of blowing upan ancient barkentine for the making of Ronald Colman’s picture, “The Rescue/ Noth- ing much was gained by it, sefe atten- in print ause of the“iitsual Efocedure. It cost him a pretty penny s0. ‘What is called the personal tie-up has studio heads in a dither. Every meat market, Tom Thumb golf course, florist ' the little town of Aire in the Ardennes shop or jewelry store cries loudly for s star to put in an appearance at the opening. 1If the poor actor or actress agreed to, Which were “mothered” by Britisk com- THE MAN WHO MADE A HOLE IN ONE AND DISCOVERED H HAD DRIVEN OFF = TO THE WRONG GREEN MERRICK. Since the Tom Thumb enthusiasts have taken so much patronage the movies that several theater owners is particularly ambitious to hope for a star for such an occasion. ‘The allied hatters of the country, meeting in _convention here, insisted that Conrad Nagel model the latest bonnets for men. It costs something to free Conrad Nagel from a lot for a day. You can bet your hat they didn’t. Frances Marion and George Eill will do the work on Lorna Moon's novel, “Dark Star,” thereby fulfilling one of the strangest cycles of friendship that Hollywood has known. Lorna Moon, doomed with tubercu- losis, wrote the tale at the insistence of Frences Marion, her friend. When her illness became so acute that studio work was no longer possible, it was Frances Marion who sent her aWay to the desert, where the book was com- pleted. Two days before Lorna Moon's. death Frances Marion had the pleasure of telling her that “Dark Star” had been bought for a picture. And two days after her funeral the final papers were signed. Now her liftlong friend is adapting the story, and George Hill, Frances Marion’s husband, will direct it. The, picture will incidentally give Marie Dressler cne of the finest roles of her career, that of Divot Meg, the ancient bawd who might have come out of the pages of Zola.
