Ran into a well known scenario writer late yesterday afternoon, tHe was lolling about the Manhattan enc of the Brooklyn Bridge. “Thought you were working hard?” we suggested, “Tam,” he laconicaly shot back “Who, when dnd where?” we thrust. “No one; right now and here!” was his answer. “You see,” he con- tinued, “ideas sort of went prohibition to-day and I strolled down to get some situations from the newsboys. Just listen!" We listened. ‘ From the Babel-like din of the newsboys we distinguished: “Woman foully murdered! Slayer a mystery!" “Baby vamp ateals friend’s husband,” “Enraged wife shoots other woman," serts cooing babe’ “You see,” went on the writer, “any one of those shouted headlines might suggest a situation out of which a film story would sprout.” We did not answer, but rushed right to our typewriter and started writing seven scenarios, all culled from the shoutings of the newsies. We started seven and we'll prob- ably finish—one, “Girl wife de- VIGNOLA JAUNTING. Robert Vignola, widely known di- rector, is just about to set forth on a world-wide jaunt.

And I have the pleasure to become the best and most earnest gigantic admirer in that come to see the pictures.’” Sounds very much as If a bub-titic writer evolved the last sentence doesn't it?

OH, HUM! Madam Rose Rosanova, the Rus- sian actress who plays the mother in “Hungry Hearts,"’ doesn't think much of California—thus making it practically unanimous. It seems that on her way to the Coast she was robbed of all her cloth- ing. The dress she was wearing at the time was all she had left. She, of course, bought a new outfit on ar- riving in Los Angeles. Believing in the old proverb about lightning never repeating, madame was a little care- less in locking her door after her. About two weeks later thieves broke in and stole her new outfit. Another trip to the store. are And yesterday we get a wire an- nouncing that for the third time thieves had stolen everything she possessed We are not quite sure whether it was lightning or the press agent that struck in the same place thrice, but be that as it may, Madame Rosanova declares in her wire that she is going to live in Sing Sing after this, where forewarned will be forearmed.
