To date the rose fete last June and the

IF you were asked to name the square
foot of ground in New York. City
over which more celebrated the
atrical stars had passed than any other
spot ' in the whole community, what
would you say?" Would your thoughts
turn back to the old Daly Theater, or
the Empire, or to some other old haunt
made sacred in the theatrical world
by tradition or would they lead you
to the humblo entrance to a motion
picture studio?
For it is a matter of record that there
have passed over the threshold of the
Famous Players' studio more well,
known stars than have adorned the
stage of any theater. Among this dis
tinguished number there appear the
names of James K. Hackett, Mrs. Fiske,
Lillle Langtry, Henry K. Dixie. James
O'Neill, Cecilia Loftus, John Barrymore.
Cyril Srott, Arnold Daly, Charlotte
Ives, William Farnum, Malcolm Will-

Oddly enough, the very first star to be
presented on the screen by these pro
ducers, and perhaps the most distin
guished of them all Sarah Bernhardt
has never seen the studio, as her
first production was staged in her be
loved France.
To this list there must beadded one
more name, for although he has not
graced me motion-picture screen as
yet, George M. Cohan has crossed the
Famous PJayers threshold in order to
assist in rehearsing Mary Plckford for
her recent appearance on behalf of
the Actors' Fund.

ao, gentle reader, this Is not a rec
ord of a class in French in a school

tlon of the light and airy conversation
which took place between Mary- Pick-
ford and Gaby Deslys the other day.
when the young French artist called
upon the film star in the Famous Play
ers studio. Gaby herself played in
Famous Players production, "Her Tri
umph," about a year, but the film was
made in Paris, and the couple had never
met. Gaby watched Jack O'Brien di
recting "Hulda of Holland" Tor a few
moments and then declared he had al
most as much "tamperamon" as a
Frenchman.
Ancient Dress In "Lonesome Pine."
Charlotte Walker, the attractive star
of the spoken and silent drama, who
s appearing in "The Trail of the Lone
some Pine at the Pickford Theater,
wears a dress in the popular feature
which has a peculiar history. It is a
heap, red, cotton affair, torn and di
lapidated. Miss Walker wore it dur
ing the three years she starred in the
production and later loaned it to Miss
Marjorie P.ambeau, who followed her
in the part. Miss Rambeau, when she
had finished with the dress, was about
o throw it away when ehe happened
to think Miss Walker might want to
keep it as a souvenir of her greatest
tage triumph. Miss Walker placed" the
costume in the bottom of one of her
many trunks in her New York home
and promptly forgot what she had done
with it. She had reached Hollywood
before it was definitely decided that
he was to appear In her famous play.
he immediately wired East for the
ress, but It was two weeks before her
runks could be ransacked and the cos
tume was found.
Bessie lias a Past.
Seventeen, and she already has a
ast. Shocking! No, not shocking, but
lghtfully romantic. ' Bessie Love is
ne of Triangle's chief leading women.
Her past is the tale of how from an
extra" she developed in a few weeks
into a leading woman with John Em-
rson In "The Flying Torpedo." Grif
fith himself assigned her next tothe
leading role in Mary Itoberls Khlne-
hart's "Acquitted," and along about this
time W. S. Hart, looking for a bright
young woman for- the lead in his new
Western vehicle, "The Aryan," snapped
her up again. Within two months Doug
las Fairbanks showed up with a scena
rio he had written himself, and he.
toor wanted Miss Love for the leading I
feminine role. That is the play she
is working on now. It Is called "The
Good-Bad Man." Four men captive, and
all in about four months. Considerable
past. And there isn't an ounce of the
vampire in her makeup.
I J ig Chaplin Demand.
So insistent have been exhibitors in
their demand upon the Mutual Film
Company that no fewer than 75 prints
of "The Floorwalker," the first Chap
lin release, scheduled for May 15, will
be used in the city of New York alone
to cover present booking schedules. The
demand has been comparatively as
great locally, according to Manager I
Heed, of the Portland Mutual exchange.
Among the supporting players in the!
initial Lhapiln film, as well as in oth
ers to follow, are Edna Purviance, the
Carmen in the Essanay film of that
name; Charlotte Mineau, a French miss
who was with Essanay for five years
and more and lately in Seng farces;
Loeta Bryan, an attractive blonde who
attained fame in musical comedy and
in Chicago stock; Leo White, the come
dian, who has supported Chaplin ever
since he started in the pictures; Eric
Campbell, who left "Pom Pom," a mu
sical hit of the season, to join the
company, and Lloyd Bacon, for several
years in stock.

The diamond necklace was sold April

the Jewelry, the pieces were the gift of
her husband and he is not responsible
