Movie Graphs Direct
From the Coast
George Cowl, now playing in Pen
rhyn Stanlaws' production of "Pink
Gods," returned to New York ' in
1919, after seeing service with the
Canadian engineers in France and
Belgium. He immediately signed
with - William A. Brady to go to
Paris and direct Fannie Ward in pic
tures there, but the actors' strike
mussed up his plans. So he went into
pictures in this country instead.
"Pink Gods," which is his first
Paramount picture, features Bebe
Daniels and James Kirkwood.
The nicjures attract them from all
lines of endeavor. Even jockeys aire
not exempt. In 1907 Arthur Miller,
riding Superman, won the famous
-n i.l II : I) l I
mont. Today Miller is grinding a
camera on "To Have and to Hold,"
the new George Fitzmaurice produc
tion for Paramount which features
Betty Compson, Bert Lytell and
Theodore Kosloff. ' Miller started in
at the bottom when he became too
' heavy to continue as a jockey and

Mr. Sills, is noted for his studious
habits and his interest in floricul
ture. He is now playing the fea
tured masculine role in "Burning
Sands," a forthcoming release.
What does a Spanish ghost look
like?
At first the conventional idea of a
white-sheeted-figure was suggested
when the task of haunting the Cas
tilian castle in "The Ghost Breaker,"
was taken up. Finally it was decided
to dress the ghosts in armor like
the spirit of Hamlet s dad. Wallace
Reid is star of this picture, supported
by Lila Lee.
A tremendous set representing a
street in Cairo was used George
Melford's production of "Burning
Sands." Though nearly half a mile
long, it would not be remarkable ex
cept for the fact that its full extent
was used in night, scenes, which in
volve the use of most of the sun
arc lamps of the Lasky studio, as
well as extra motor-generators above
the three owned by the studio.
The night lighting o such an area
entails a great expenditure of power,

Mary Pickford
Is Partner of
Santa Clans
Mary Pickford has gone into part
nership with Santa Claus and expects
to establish a large factory for the
making of doll-miniatures of herself
according to an announcement is
sued from her studio today. -
America's Sweetheart has already
applied for a patent and copyright on
her new product, which is to be called
"lhe Mary Pickford Doll," and
every effort is being put forth to get
this article on the market in time for
the Christmas trade.
Christian von Schneidau, the most
famous' Scandinavian artist and
sculptor in America, is credited with
making the lifesize bust of Miss Pick
ford from which the dolls are to be
reproduced. Through a process of
reduction this representation of Lit
tle Mary will be brought down to a
head suitable in size for a 14-inch
doll in which it is sajd the likeness
will be perfect. Since work first be
gan on this project,. eight internation
ally famous artists have attempted
to sculpture a satisfactory bust of
Miss Pickford, and all told 60 differ
ent models have been made. In addi
tion to these, one life mask of the
star,1 which almost eventuated in be
ing a death mask, was taken. During
the process of pouring this mould,
Miss Pickford nearly suffocated and
her fact was so badly bruised that
it was impossible for her to appear
before the camera for several days.
This venture represents Mary
Pickford's' first plunge into any com
mercial field not connected with mo
tion- pictures.jritijsc-bccasioned by
the insistent demands Of the world's
juvenile population, which has per
sisted over a period of, many years,
for a doll-replica of this famous
photoplay celebrity.
"Little Italy" in Films.
Rupert Hughes, who has shown a
decided predilection for Irish themes
in his recent photoplays, turned his
attention to Italian-Americans in his
,new' picture, "The Bitterness of
Sweets." Colleen Moore, the
heroine of the other Hughes fea
tures, plays the role of an Italian
dancer with a craving for sweets, I
which tend to make her too fat for
the good of her art.
Antonio Moreno has freed himself
from the black and blue drama, and
plays opposite Miss Moore in this
comedy drama, in the roje of an
Italian dancer and small-time vaude
ville producer. Miss Moore and
Moreno are to, be featured jocitly.
Valentino and Mae

Rodolph Valentino, pet lover of the
screen, takes a rear pew in "The De-

Murray, at the Moon theater the first
four days of this week. He portrays
the role of a man about town, while
Mae Murray does another dance part

Girls, He's Young;
Owns His Home and
a Million Bucks
, Although Jackie Coogan's a tittle
chap, he's a big star. And big stars
earn big money. Try as he could
little Jack could not possibly speed
his earnings, even if he were allowed.
Jackie is, the minature midas of
the world. Everything he touches
turns to gold. Not only does- he
make money in the movies, but he
has commercial enterprises through
connections with big manufacturers
who pay him handsome royalties on
articles bearing his name.
If Jackie buys oil stocks they go
up tomorrow. If he buys land, the
price of property soars. In short
he's a demi-John D.'Rockefcller. the
splitpint J. P. Morgan of the world.
Jackie Coogan will not be 8 years
old until October. By that time he
will, in his short life, have earned
more than $1,WO,000.
Jack Coogan, sr., the starlets fa
ther-manager, has a salary all his
own for supervising his son's activi
ties. Jackie s contract with Sol Les
ser, the producer, is made in his own
name. A trust fund has been created
to take care of the boy's earnings
and all investments" are carefully
looked into. Hundreds of dollars a
week are paid out by Jackie for chari
ties. He is a constant contributor
to the children's hospital and many
other charitable institutions.
The deed to the home that houses
the Coogans is in Jackie's name, as
well as many other valuable real
estate properties. Coogan, sr., sup
ports his family on the salary he him
self earns as Jackie's manager an
entirely separate fund.
His Money Bores Him.
Jackie himself is. bored to death
with the idea of money. If you want
to make a hit with 'the kid' you
must answer right up when he asks
if you can cast a fly or if you know
a new game of marbles. He refuses
utterly to commit himself as to what
career he wants to pursue when he
grows up. Jackie's health and edu
cation are being watched' over most
carefully. Under the care of his
tutor, Mrs. Kora Newell, he has pro
gressed three grades in 15 weeks.
He can fish, eo hunting with "dad"
and swing a wicked golf club. He
can swim and he took his first riding
lesson this week.
The main idea in Tackle s dad s
mind is that the starlet may, when
he grows up, be independent, and
find it unnecessary to pursue the dif
ficult path up which he himself had
to struggle. "Also," says Coogan,
sr., "I want to keep Jackie from
marrying until he is 25 years old."

The Married Life of Helen and
Warren Orders An Eitravtiant
Dinner to Maintain Hn Ep
cur ttn Post.
"Burchard lays it's I ripping food
place and he knout about tood."
Warren strode brikly ahead, intent
on trying a new 1'ark avenue res
taurant, "Dear, I can't walk o fat in
thee slippers." protected Helen.
"Why in bUm don't you wear
sensible shoes?"- Then his scowl
changvig to pleated anticipation,
"Burchard ayt they've got some
Stilton cheese the real thing. Hello,
that must be it acrots the street."
The awningf, the pongee curtains,
and the red-geramumed window
boxes gave the unmistakable Parisian
air. ,
Inridc it was delightfully Cool and
retful. The grey and mauve panel
ing, the grey tane chairs, the soft
grey carpet and the mauve shaded
lights were all luxuriously new and
I frc.h.
As the place was almost empty,
three alert waiters darted eagerly
forward.
"No. dear, not in the center,"
demurred Helen who always wanted
a wall table. "That one over there.?
One glance at the crested, im.
pressive menu and her heart sank.
It was what she feared an exorbi
tantly expensive place.
"Asparagus a dollar and a half?
Warren, that's awful!"
"Now don't start that! Meet in
the mood for a good dinner."
Helen scanned the entrees. Not
one under a dollar seventy-five. It
was a limited menu. Only a few
dishes, extortioitatcly priced.
The pompous Frenchman, evident
ly the proprietor, who had been
hovering in the background, now
waved aside the waiter and came up
to take their order,
"We've some fine Freuch melons
today. Or would you like hors
d'oeuvres?"
"Now, dear, doiv't order much for
me," restrained Helen. "You know
I'm on a -diet," falling back on her
stock excuse at an expensive restau
rant. "I tan just have consomme
and spinach." '
"I am sorry, madame, no spinach
today. The asparagus is very fine."
"I don't care for asnaraeus." hasti
ly, remembering the dollar-fifty.
Would you like some hearts ot
artichokes very delicious?
"Yes, you like, artichokes," approv
ed Warren, ignoring the frantic nudge
of her suede slipper. "What's all
this?" trying to decipher a line of
French among the entrees. "Sweet
breads and mushrooms?"
"Ah, monsieur, that is one -of our
specialties cooked under glass. Just
as you would get it in Paris 1"
"Yes. I've had that at Voisin's,"
casually. "Good restaurant, that."
"The best!" the Frenchman's tone
was reverential. "I yorked there four
years. You know the Chatham in the
Rue Daunou? I was head waiter
there."
"Yes, you get good food at the
Chatham, but it's no better than
Viands just across the-street. The way
they serve frog's legs with . that
piquant sauce! Good enough for me."
"Ah, monsieur, you know Vian's?"
his black eyes fairly glittered." "My
brother, he works at Vian's now
the pastry chef."
Helen might also have enjoyed
these reminiscences of Paris had she
not known they would lead to an ex
travagant order.'
Warren, jvho loved" to air his knowl
edge of foreign restaurants, would
feel he must order a dinner worthy
of an epicure.
"Glad Burchard tipped me off to
this place." when the proprietor fi
nally bustled off to give his personal
attention to the sweetbreads and
mushrooms.
"Dear, don't order anything more.
We don't want any salad or dessert.
Just look at those prices!"
Give me that menu! snatching it
from her, he tossed it on the table
behind him. "Now forget the prices 1
We're here to enjoy a good feed. If
he's been head waiter at the Chat
ham, he knows his business." v
"You know Frederic's, monsieur?"
the proprietor again, approached,
eager for further reminiscences. "I
worked there in 1913.
"Frederic's cater to the tourists,"
criticized Warren. "They play up
those numbered ducks too much.
What's that othet place across the
river famous for their tripe? Oh,
Sioux City ,
Vice Pre Chas. Stuart. Sec.-Treas. ,
yet, the Laprroue. And the veal
kidne)! at UoivinV,"
"Ah, mon.ieur knows his Tarii.
Some day, if you telephone before
ou come, I shall hae tome el
kidneys as excellent at you get at
Boivin's"
Here, the entrance of a parly of
four demanding hit attention, the
proprietor teluctantly excused him
teif. "Joe. that's a good melon," War
ren held it up to examine the rind.
"It ought to be for 90 cents," re
tented Helen.
When the sweetbreads andsmuh
rooms were brought on under the
impressive glass bell, the proprietor
himself directed the serving,
"Ah, it is a pleasure to serve one
who knows food. So many do not,"
with a depreciatory shrug. "They do
not realize that a dilf like this is a
work of art. It is like a picture or a
poem," waxing eloquent,
"Not strong on poetry, but I know
a thing or two about food." grinned
Warren, always susceptible to any
flattery of his gastronomic knowl
edge. "How are madame's artichokes?"
"Oh. very nice," murmured Helen,
worrying over what they would
charge for this special dish, not on
the menu.
"Now, how would monsieur like a
souffle au Richelieu for dessert?"
"Fine," agreed Warren, "if you
could manage a little rum."
"For two?" he beamed assenting-
iy.
"Oh, no, no, I'm on a diet," hastily
protested Helen.
"Nonsense, you like souffles I Yes,
make it for two. And how about
that Stilton cheese? I hear you havej
some of the real stuff." I
"Ah, yes, very fine a new ship-!
ment, monsieur. Ripe, but not too j
soft. You shall see," as he strutted
off. I
"Warren, have you any idea what
this dinner's going to cost?"
"No, and I don't care. When I can i
get food like this I m not worry
ing about the price. Whatever it
costs it's worth it."
Helen almost choked on the deli
cious artichoke ' morsels as she
thought of the things she could have
bought with the money squandered
on this dinner.
Later, their plates whisked away, a
huge silver platter wa brought on.
The cover removed, exposed a large
souffle, delicately browned.
"Ah, that's something like," beam
ed Warren, as the proprietor touched
a match to the sauce. "That's the
real thing," watching the blue
flames.
Helen, fearful lest Warren be in-!
veigled into further extravagance,
Thousands saw this' great bill yesterday
Thousands are singing its praises It's an ex
traordinary show in every sense of the word.

wat glad when the proprietor was
again called away.
"Well, that's what I call one good

of the light, feathery souffle.
"And you ordered cheetel Dear,
you can t eat it 'ell him not to

"That's so. I did order chcee.
Well, if it's real Stilton, let him trot
it out. I can always put away a bit

"Now see here, none of your but

he would not cancel k order.

into the ripe Stilton, "Just ott
enough. Better have tome
"NcJ. and you oughtn't to touch it

You'll na,ve indigestion tonight,"
"See here, you're a fine gloom to
take out to dinner. Been sitting

we came in. Anyone else would en

"I'd rather have cone to a cheap

more. If we'd just ordered one
thing it would've been all right, hut
we never come to a place like this
that you don t want to order all the

"What if I do? What's that to
you." ,
Helen saw the danger signal as
he ' reddened angrily, but she wat
now too reckless to heed it.
"It's all your egotism! If the pro
prietor flatters you lets you air
your knowledge of food and Paris
restaurants, you'll order everything
on the menu" v
"Come on!" savagely. "Here'r
where we get out!" motioning for his
bill.
Helen blinked back the tcarsv .
she buttoned her gloves. She should
not have said anything. She was
only spoiling their evening, and for J
what? !
Warren's extravagance about food
the could never hope to reform.
She only clouded their outings with
her efforts at economy.
The total of the check she could
not decipher, but she saw the $20
bill he laid over it. After the tip
there was very little change. -
When' they rose from the table the
proprietor came hurrying toward
them.
"Was everything all right, mon
sieur? Ah, I am glad you enjoyed
it. So many American gentlemen do
not appreciate good food steak and
fried potatoes do them just as well.
But it is a pleasure to serve a con
noisseur."

Pretty Film Star
Reveals Hobby
Every motion picture actress has
a hobby, but Katherine MacDonald
has the most unusual of all.
It is simply "plain exercise."
The famous "American Ri-anrv"
made that revelation recently during
tne course ot an interview.
"My only hobby is plain exercise,"
she declared. "And next to exercise
for myself comes my desire to see
others exercise.
"Exercise is something most of us
are likely to forget, and I believe
that none of us gets enough of it."
The star's next appearance in this
