Hal any It la some house and they hsv
a "tullud" cook, very "cullud" and vary
much cook. Th only thing they era
afraid of Is that they will all get too
fat on ssld cook's fnr end all become
heavyweight cornedluna instead of per
fectly good Juvenile sctors. I'erlah the
thought! I'al la working In th five-reel
"The Courtesan'' under tha able direction
of Arthur Maud.
At th Vltagrtiph studios at Hollywood
they have a Vlctrola to dispense the
now necessary muslo. Whll walling for
th scenes to b taken the artists pran
tic dance steps and competition Is quite
keen. Anne Hrhaefer and Cortnn Grif
fith are especially graceful daw-era,
while Jack Mower arid Webeter Campbell
show up prominently among the men
folk. Oeorg Holt attends to tha Vic-
trola and aay ha prefers It to dancing.
Film Flashes,
It' awfully hard for a nervous per
son to alt through those movie kisses.
Th 'Iron Claw" company, Including
th cameramen and assistants, have con
tributed 1100 to th Actor' Fund.
N-no, Lucille, rUqu drama cannot be
termed raw film.
Al-I-I-I a-b-o-o-a-r-r-d for th movla

feet of valuabl film.
Let It b known that th movie ball Is
to b under th direction of th Omaha
Hereen club and th I'hotoplay Man
