When “The Four Horsemen’’ wan shown in Paris for the first time sev- eral of the Paris papers took violent exception to the prominence given American troops in the big film. In contradiction of the published sentiments, Mrs. Arthur Ellis Hamm, Vice President of the American Com- mittee for Devastated France, has written: “Certain scenes showing American troops were received with great en- thusiasm. When the words ‘Len Americains’ appeared on the screen and the orchestra broke into the strains of ‘Over There’ and a fine shown the whole audience broke inte wild applause.

Nor that she should make any com- ments regarding the strangeness of the fact that it was necessary to have onion sandwiches at poker parties. And tha she should spend such evenings as he played poker or stayed down town or went to stag dinners with friends of the feminine sex. And that she should be sound asleep when he came in. That she would always understand (hat his flirtations were too mild for any unealled for jealously on her rt. That it was quite a different thing for a man to be forgiven than for a woman, And that he wouldn't have his wife make a fool of him as some wives he knew made of their husbands. With these clear understandings at the start he knew that she would be very happy with him, for he would make her an {deal husband. But he had been a little too previous.

Oliver Morosco joins the ranks of motion picture producers officially on June 12, when the first Morosco picture, ‘The Half Breed,"’ will be released through First National. With all the new film material available, the Central Theatre has seen fit to re-vamp ‘The Virgin of Stamboul.” Another mystery of mmoyviedom Malcolm McGregor, whose work in “The Prisoner of Zenda,’ not yet re- leased, is excellent, yesterday signed 2 long-term contract with Metro.

Rex Ingram puts kick in his pic- tures by booting a football around for exercise prior to directing big scenes, Viola Dana rolls her own. That ts, she's rolling her own tennis court out Hollywood way. Clayton Hamilton, for two yearn associate editor for Goldwyn, will end that connection next month and im- mediately sail for Honolulu for a long reet Tom Mix's latest stunt is to dash off the end of a pier on @ motorcycle “Brothers Under Their Skin,” Initiated into the Lambs’ Club 1875. Pretty old for a lamb—wot? “Grandma's Boy,” Harold Lloyd's latest comedy, hag just been released. It is said to be even better than “A Sailor Made Man,” which is, indeed, Praise. . Associated Authors’ Productions, Inc, has decided to locate its atudio in Florida instead of California. Since her arrival in the Vitagraph studios last December, Alice Calhoun has finished four big pictures. Her latest, which was finished yesterday, is “A Girl's Desire.” One exciting scene in Larry Semon's latest is a game of checkers. Why didn't they speed up the ecene a bit and make it chess? Irene Rich, who p! the wife in “& Fool There Was,” has gone to her home in Southern California to rest. Doris Pawn, Fox leading woman, was born in Nebraska and is s0 thoroughly Western that she refuses to come East to act in pictures. A woman guest was watching Mabel Ballin and Norman Trevor play a hectic love scene recently, After the scene the guest whispered, “I'm giad your husband wasn't here to see And Hugo, Mabel’s hubby, the time. five-year-old watching the filming of “Who is that “The Bootlesgers.”’ one could say “Holluschickie”’ then CHARLIE, HE'S BAD. Charlie, the huge elephant in the Universal City Zoo, has broken all precedents. That's not all Charlie has [broken in the past few days. ‘The particular precedent smashed is that ‘fall elephants love children," Charlie does not love children, or any one else, for that matter. He proved that most emphatically when he leaned against his cage and went on a rampage. He did his best to scatter what hu- manity he could see to all four winds, but humanity was too swift for him, Charlie simmered down somewhat when he saw A, C. Stecker, chief ani- mal man. loom into the offing Stecker gave Charlie a sound whip- ping on his front toe nails and now the elephant is pretending to be good. MUFFLED. A diving helmet is @ serious handi- cap to a motion picture director. Ask Joseph Henubery, he knows. Henabery is busy directing Jack Holt in ‘The Man Unconquerable,'* and for one scene, faken below water, donned a diver's Suit and used the floor of the ocean as a studio. Yesterday while he was directing the sub-scene, his rope tenders felt a frantic jerking on the life line and hauled away. When they unscrewed the helmet Joe was wild and pro- nounced the first syllable of his underwater headgear several times. “What th’ helmet!” he ejaculated, “Why did you pull me up? want to take the ale—I just wanted more rope."’ Then, somewhat calmer, he quietly submerged again. DOGGONE! Even a dog will recognize and hate a villain. Clarence Burton, now villaining a bit in a big picture, found this to be a fact yesterday Burton, ordinarily a mild-mannered and nice looking chap, doesn't look that way at ull in his make-up. Fol- lowing a fight scene with the star, ane of the dogs used principally for at- mosphere decided he had heard his cue and waded right in, He dined oft the calf of Burton's right leg, never missing a course. ‘An he pried the dog loose, Burton howled: “It's bad enough to have an aud!- and land safely on a departing}awful looking man?’ nteamer!.
