Since leaving Long Beach the famous Paramount comedian has been more or less homeless. For a time he worked at the Diando studio at Glen- dale, then made a film at Catallna Island. Finally the necessity for a permanent place becoming imperative, he and his manager, Lou Anger, ob tained a studio In Dos Angeled which fills every need. It la a large tract with a fine glass stage, plenty of "yard" for exterior sets, a quantity of dressing-rooms, each fitted with hot and cold water and all conveniences, a cutting-room, offices and a private dressing-room, en snlto, for the star. Not even the favorite poultry yard. In which Fatty takes such pride, has been neglected, and a netted enclosure provides an ample runway for the ducks, chickens, geese and other fowl he raises in his spare time. At this studio the Paramount-Ar-buckle comedies will be made during the coming months and there he is now hard at work on a new picture which follows "Camping Out," which is de clared to be one of the most excru ciatingly humorous conceptions ever created by Fatty Arbuckle. Goldwyn President Entertained. In honor of Samuel Goldfish, presi dent of the Goldwyn Picture Corpora tion, and Samuel Rothapfel, distin guished guests in this city, a luncheon was given at the Benson Hotel yester day which was attended by about 25 moving-picture men of the city. !
