NEWS OF WOMEN FROM FAR AWAY Dispatches Tell of Their Activi- ties Abroad By the Assoclated Press. Scott Mattraw, who once had James Cruze on his payroll at $18 a week as a member of a stock com- pany, has played in more than 100 moton plcture comedies sincs going to Hollywood three years ago. The 290-pound comedian, who several vears ago ran a string of fitteen theaters in New York, clalms dis- tinction of having eliminated the st a Moment Please,” slide in ouses by using two projectors. Norma Shearer is an enthusiastic advocate of the mnew ‘“cocktall” gowns. It is an ensemble gown, cap- able of being changed quickly, by means of an over-jacket into a dress suitable for either tea or dinner wear. For years Lois Wilson refused to have her hair bobbed. Two months g0 a role necessitated bobbed hair and she finally howed. Since then, there have been twice as many re. quests from magazine and nen paper editors for her photograph. A villain, to be convincing, must bs true to life, belleves John Roc! who plays the heavy roles for Fox. “He should be consistent. Even a bad egg Is consistent. A good villain is a plausible one.” Richard Dix, in his football ple- ture, discatded the make-up of grease-paint and powder in favor of mud baths. The game which pro- vides the climax 18 played ostensibly on a rain-deluged field, although the actual filming was done on sunny days The studlo crews re- duced the gridiron to the proper state of cozing mud by the use of firs hose. As fast as the sun dried and the mud caked, Dix and the other players acquired new coatings by throwing themselves down into slippery mess and rolling over and | over. Bessle Love, a ukulels champ, has added another song to her reper- toire. It's a Chinese love song. She picked it up from a little old Chinese lady who fell in love with Miss Lo when she was in Los Angeles' China- town on location. When a screen scenarfo demands | that scenes be made inside a thea- ter, a real playhouse often is used rather than a studio set. Especially is this true in New York, where the sixty-two legitimate theaters offer a wide variety of types. The Lyceum, home of Froman and Belas stage successes, was used by Paramount. Several tons of lights and equip- ment, a large cast and enough extras | to flll the orchestra seats, were tak- o the theater in‘ the fllming of a picture. Motion picture cameramen are ed among e having us occupations when apply- ing for certain types of life insur- ance. Many have lost their lives shooting scenes from the top of | buildings, bridges, airplanes, under | water and in many other dangerous places. That research work in the staging | of mammoth prologues {s mere ex- tensive than that of the film intro- duced, 1s the opinion of Si1 Grau- man, theatrical manager who fea- tures movies with stage presenta- tions. Grauman in making the stage cotacle introductory to “Don| Juan” consulted many anthorities on the customs and dress of the fif- teenth century. The knowledge of musical and technical historians of Spanish and Roman history was summoned in*an effort to produce nearly as possible, a Venetian festival of five centuries ago. Thunder, the police dog, nearly lost hig life while on locatlon in Rainier National Park recently. In- structed to leap to the other side of Paradise river, the dog misunder- stood the directions and jumped irto the turbulent waters and was ca rried down stream over a cataract before belng rescued. From corporal to commodore—it can be done, military and naval ex- perts notwithstanding. J. Farrell MacDonald did it. Corporal Casey in “The Iron Horse,” rgeant Cas- sidy in the James Oliver Cm:woudi story, “The Country Beyond,” he has | now heen elected commodore of the Balboa Yacht club of California. Manufacturers of plano wire are now putting out a special brand for use in motion picture studios. It has a million uses, mostly in comedy scenes where articles of furniture or actors are hoisted about the _slfl:e, mice are made to run across the floor, windows must bang open lamps fall off tables, ete. The wire, painted black, becomes through this movement absolutely invisible —on the screen. $1,000 COMMISS DN SUIT Action for $1,000 has been instl- (uted against Sebastian Gozzo and Salvatore Rqeca by John Bojnie- claiming commission on real te sales. The suit is brought through Judge Benjamin W. Alling. Constable Fred Winkle served the papers today and attached four building lots on Cabot ‘street,” be- longing to the defendants. The writ 'is returnable in the court of common pleas the first Tuesday of November.
