In this Bluebird | feature Farnum suddenly wakes up to | the fact that he is an Irishman, and | as such should fight. Grabbing a stx- | inch beam, he swiftly puts four ! policemen, five plasterers and threg | trench diggers hors de combat, and goes down to glorious defeat amidst & rain of night-sticks. Mr. Farnum has |mlm~n a loyal following among the | fans because of his agreeable per- | sonality, his agility, and his smillng | aceeptance of all sorts of chances. He will be especially well remembered for | his work in “The Clock” in “The Man { Who Took a Chance” and in “A | Stormy Knight”. Swift moving events, lightly passing comedy incidents and a general atmosphere of good cheer will make “Fast Company” ideal enc tertainment for those who love to be | surprised with laughter. An episode ot | the great thrilling serial “The Lion't Cla will be shown today with | several other features and comedies.

Some weeks ago, Earle startled the world with the announcement that he | had “canned” Patsey, a canine cut-up for jumping his contract at a critical moment in the making of a Blue Rib- | bon feature. Then he came to baf with a story about hiring a new pub | in Patsey’s place and naming him something like “Cameraflage”. Next, he produced vital statistics about & | family of white rats, and now We have this: While making scenes for a Gladys Leslie picture on one of the piers in » New York, Earle was adopted by a mutt with forelgn cast of counte- | nance. In fact, Earle, in frving to_. | fina the owner of the hound, learned that he was an immigrant and that | he had become a saloon hanger-on in DIVORCE” AT FQX'S | the neighborhood ever since disem- ! parking from an immigrant ship. But the dog seems to have faken faney to Earle beécause he followed: him to the Vitagraph studio. Earle deter- mined to make him work for lis keéy { and put him into the picture. Up to a certain point the pup worked fine, but suddenly he stopped and looked with a silly expression and refused to go farther. Earle tried to bully him, but the dog only laughed. Finally, the director, who said the dog wa# | half-witted, zot an interpreter —and now, whenever Zippy, as he is called, shows signs of giggling in the mid- dle of a scene the interpreter 18 sumnf- moned to tell him where he gets off. FOX STUDIO BITS. William Fox wa the first Amer- jcan film producer to enter the for- eign field on his own account. His | first office outside the United States was established in Rio de Janeiro. “On TIce” and “Helping McAdos” will be the next two Mutt and Jeff animated cartoons by Bud Jisher, | William Fox is releasing them. Willlam Fox's dramatic companies now consist of seven in the Eastern | studios and five in the Western. , A police station is usually a mighty serious place. Not #o in “Brave and Bold,” George Walsh's newest, mile-a-minute film comedy- drama for Willlam Fox There was sunshine in one part of | New York City even during last week’s storm. It was in the studio | where June Caprice was finishin, “Blue-Eyed Mary.” It takes more than a storm to stop her smile. BUSIER COULD NO MAN BE An enthusiastic stenagrapher’s 1nix- | ing of sporting metaphors in a letter i{to an executive of the Famous Players-Lasky corporation by Com: modore J. Stuart Blackton, producer of Paramount pictures has made him the busiest man alive. Here's what she pulled on the “Com.” “I am enjoying California tremend- | ously and in addition to working very hard, am finding time to do a good deal of riding. swimming, golfing and fishing. The last time I played goif, I caught 136 fishes like the one T am holding up in the picture, and on one of my horseback rides through Griffith Park last week, I made eighteen holes in 86 which is not bad considering that the water was very cold. I am also scheduled to play a { rubber of tennts with Douglas Fuir. banks, Donald Crisp and Mickey Neik an tomorrow at four unless the ocean is too rough. These outside sports, {in conjunction with the indoor ones indulged at William DeMille's honse every Saturday night, when the poker ‘lub holds its session, are keeping me lin fine physical trim, eospecially the poker game.
