says cactus thorns make ex
cellent phonograph needles,
and he should know. He saw them
and he felt them, and out where he
produced "The Joyous Liar," there
were millions of them. He states
he carried home several in his
trousers that he afterwards used on
his phonograph.
In his new rural comedy, "Watch
Out, William," Charles Ray is said
to have a part sparkling with a
quaint humor and set in many de
lightfully homely episodes. He will
' h.ive a large cast of well known
screen artists, including Ann May,
Norris. Johnston, Gertrude Claire,
William Courtwright, Gordon Mul
len, Donald Macdonald and Bert
Woodruff.
Margery Wilson, one of the fea
tured artists in Benjamin B. Hamp
ton and Eltinge F. Warner's Zane
Grey production, "Desert Gold," has
received worth-while compliments
on Tier performance in the W. W.
Ilodkinson release, the high praise
taking the form of offers, from sev
eral Broadway stage producers to
appear as the ' featured feminine
player in the spoken drama.
While the largest vaudeville thea
ters in the big cities of the coun
try are showing "Topics of the Day"
with great success, the-smaUer pic
ture houses, we understand, located
in suhurban communities, have also
been quick to realize ;that they too
can play this screen subject with
splendid results. The big city
theaters, of course, have the earlier
runs, but as the "Topics" programs
present full measure entertainment
of wide appeal, they are enjoyable
whenever and wherever shown.

ness, upon whom a large insurance
has been taken out An additional
$560,000 has just been written in
'favor of Mr. Selznick, which brings
the sum total of insurance carried
upon him up to more than $1,000,000.
This is said to be the largest sum
of insurance ever taken on the life
of any executive of this type.
While a major number of the resi
dents of Trenton, N. J.,.are wearing
an alcoholic blue countenance, the
churches are doing everything pos
sible to attract people therein. The
latest, move affecting -the spiritual
side of the city came recently when
Bethany Presbyterian church
showed "Harold, the Last of the
Saxons," a fomedy film with Mr.
and Mrs. Sidney Drew, in the Sun
day school room. The innovation
proved a welcome attraction and
the audience, or congregation, left
smiling.
"Silk Husbands and Calico
Wives," has been adopted by Equity
as the title of House Peters' new
picture. In addition to House Pet
ers, Vincent Serrano, Mildred Rear
don, Ruth Sinclair and Mary Alden
have important parts. November

her parents, who are very poor. As such
she is shown in more or less ragged calico
dresses, with her hair hanging down her

father's death to move. She applies for

chorus. Through the accidental spilling
of a bucket of paint she gets an Inspira

Paint," to a composer. She Is given an
opportunity to sing It, and makes the hit
of the season. Then, as the famous
music hall girl, and the world at her
feet, she is presented In beautiful gowns
of every description, to those who first
passed her by unnoticed, but now anxious
to have her name on their calling list.
The part she takes in this photo picture
Is practically acting her own life.
