REEL CHATTER

HAMPTON DEL RUTH, the scenario editor in chief grew so excited over the fact that he was going to be married that he made a mistake and bought a dog license. The hound.

Here is AL JOLSON'S latest direct from the Majestic Theatre, where he is appearing in "Robinson Crusoe, Jr.," the Winter Garden Show. It is the serious moment in a rollicking show. Jolson, as Crusoe's man, Friday, is captured by a bloodthirsty crew and condemned to walk the plank. He entreats his captors to spare his life.

"Give me one good reason why you should not die here and now," commands the leader.

"Well, boss, I sure do want to live long enough to see MRS. VERSON CASTLE in the last episode of 'Patria,'" replies Al, and the audience goes wild.

SESSUE HAYAKAWA has been completely ostracized by his fellow players at the studio since his return from Honolulu where the Hawaiian scenes in the adaptation of Robert Louis Stevenson's "The Bottle Imp" were staged. The specific offense committed by the noted Japanese actor was his learning to play that heathen instrument, the ukulele. This would not have been so bad in itself were it not for the fact that Hayakawa's dressing room immediately adjoins that of Wallace Reid, the champion all round musician of the United States. As a result of the frightful sounds which are being emitted from these two dressing rooms, they have been christened "The Pest House."

ETHEL CLAYTON

Who is Soon to be Seen Opposite Rockliffe Fellows in "The Web of Desire."

MARY MILES MINTER has just completed "The Gentle Intruder," and will soon start work on "Environment," the first of a new series of six features to be released through Mutual.

CHARLIE MURRAY has been sentenced to two more years with the Keystone.

MARTIN KINNEY, "the Fuzzy-Wuzzy" of the Foxfilm comedies, dreamed that his back hair had been cut and his good fortune thus reduced to ruins. Mr. Kinney awoke in a perspiration, for, as good fortune would have it, he had attended church that night and the text had been on Samson and Delilah. Mr. Kinney appreciates the feeling of the strong man when he parted with his locks.

In addition annexing a husband, MAE MURRAY seems to have permanently acquired ROBERT LEONARD as a director. Leonard has supervised the star's most recent productions and is now beginning work on the new one in which she will soon appear.

Our Cover Girl
ELLA HALL

Ella Hall was born in New York March 17, 1897, and was educated in a New York private school. When a little girl, she was chosen to David Belasco to play a principal part in "The Grand Army Man." After that she understudied Mary Pickford in "The Warrens of Virginia" and following these appeared with Isabelle Irving in "The Girl Who Has Everything."

In 1910 she joined David Griffith's Biograph company, where she was connected for two years; going to the Reliance company for a few months. She became a star with the Universal  company with whom she has been ever since. She has been featured in the serial "The Master Key" also in innumerable five-act productions. Among her many features "Jewel," "Secret Love," and "The Love Girl," "The Bugler of Algiers," and "Her Soul's Inspiration" have shown her to best advantage.

Miss Hall is 5 feet 1 inch in height and weighs 105 lbs. She has light hair and blue eyes. Her favorite diversions are swimming, driving and classic and ball room dancing.

STUDIO NOTES

"God's Law and Man" is the title decided upon for the forthcoming Metro-Columbia feature screen version of Paul Trent's novel, "A Wife by Purchse," in which VIOLA DANA will be seen as a Hindoo girl.

MARTIN KINNEY, the "Fuzzy-wuzzy" of William Fox comedies, a title gained by his distinctive back hair, is out for preparedness. "In case of war," says he, "I'll be the first to go - and wish 'em luck."

RENE GUISSART, the cameraman who will photograph MARY GARDEN'S first Goldwyn picture under the direction of Allan Dwan, is a hero of the battle of the Somme and wears a medal awarded him by the French government for valor in action during the early days of what is now one of the longest battles in history.

WHEELER OAKMAN, Mabel Normand's leading man, has fallen heir to a poultry ranch. Some chicken himself.

There are murmurs of a new spring fashion emanating from the Laskey studio. It is said that Miss A. B. Hoffman, director of costumes at the studio, has originated a feminine creations that is to be known as "The joan." It is, of course, reminiscent of "Joan the Woman" in which Geraldine Farrar created such a success, and it is modeled upon the costumes of the period when the peasant girl wrought her wondrous deeds.

When FRANK HAYES, chief of the Keystone Cops, was asked the best way to disperse a mob, he recommended that the hat be passed.

DO YOU KNOW THAT --

After a sharp competition with agents of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, VALESKA SURATT acquired last week some workings in gold which are among the most ancient in existence. Several hollow balls which she bought are considered examples of the earliest known jewelry. It is supposed that they date back to King Zer of the 1st dynasty of Egypt. The gold globes show a perfect mastery in making minute threading holes and in soldering, without leaving a trace of excess or a perceptible difference in color.

When the latest war scare was at its height, HENRY B. WALTHALL asked the janitor of the apartment building where he resides if he would go to war. "War would be a sweet dream to me," exclaimed the janitor, "compared with stoking the furnaces of this building during zero weather. Yes, I think I'll take the rest if war comes."

One of the principal players in "The Mystery of the Double Cross," Pathe serial, is LEON BARY, formerly Sarah Bernhardt's leading man, who after the outbreak of the European war fought for seeral months in the trenches. The serial features MOLLIE KING, one of the youngest screen stars, in the role of heroine.

FORD STERLING is stopping at Los Angeles' best hotel, the Alexandria - that is, long enough to write his letters.

DORIS KENYON has been forced to purchase a pair of pantaletters, as the wind in Chicago, Ill., is said to blow with an upward movement.

GERALDINE FARRAR.

It seems strange at first to think of Miss Farrar as a movie star, but her work in "Joan, The Woman" is a notable proof of the high standard of attainments that is now required from those who play in the full glare of that terrible truth-teller, the moving camera.

The average European husband and father would "go broke," if he attempted to dress his wife and daughters as lavishly as the average American man does. That is the verdict of MAX LINDER. Max has had three months time in which to arrive at his decision. "American women seem to wear wonderful garments," remarked Max. "A bricklayer's daughter here dresses as well as a countess. American women are admirable creatures."
