HUMAN interest, comedy and ro mance are blended skillfully to gether to make , engrossing en tertainment in the picturization of the Charles Klein-Rose Stahl stage success, "Maggie Pepper," which opened at the Liberty theater yesterday. Ethel Clayton, Elliott Dexter, Tully Marshall, Raymond Hatton and Winni Irert Greenwood form a stellar com bination of player3 who handle the leading roles in "Maggie Pepper." There have been few plays in recent years in which the element of heart interest has been so compelling as in this romance of a department-store employe. Maggie Pepper, head of the silk department, for 15 years has had nothing but the commonplace of busi ness in her thoughts until suddenly she becomes obsessed with the desire to enter society. The social venture is a complete suc cess and wins the admiration of the man who turns out to be the head of tne firm, recently returned from a long eojourn in Europe. He makes Maggie manager of the business, but the scan dal specter stalks about, and, to save the situation, she resigns. Through many trying situations Maggie's love remains steadfast and ultimately tri umphs'. "One Every Minute," another humor ous Montgomery Flagg satire on the "movies," and Paramount round out an excellent bill. Gloria Makes Good., Gloria wnson. who once upon a ! time disported herself in modish frocks in Mack Sennett comedies, varying the monotony with an occasional romp in a bathing suit, so distinguished herself during the making of the Cecil B. De Mille production, "Don't Change Your Jlusband," that she is firmly fixed as a S-creen. luminary. Gloria is the daughter of Captain Joseph! T. Swanson, now in France with the American army. He is part Swedish find part Italian, while Gloria's mother was of French and Polish extraction. Screen Gossip. Dorothy Dalton has everyone at the new Thomas II. Ince studio in Culver City singing Hawaiian songs. Someone presented her a ukelele recently and the proved herself capable of handling this little instrument. During odd mo ments of rest the Hawaiian airs come floating from Miss Dalton's dressing room and everyone now is humming to Jier muic. Miss Dalton is an accom plished musician and at her home her piano is one of her happiest compan ions.

When Tom Ince's yacht drifted away from its moorings it was Dorothy who donned greasy overalls, invaded its "innards" and started the engine. She's her own auto mechanic when working hours permit. One of .the jokes of Los Angeles is the leisurely manner in which Charlie Chaplin turns out pictures. David Griffith's favorite Indoor sport is giving a.n imitation of C. Chaplin at the time he finishes the last of the six promised pictures for First National. An old man, bent over, feeble and with one foot in the grave is what D. W. expects Mr. Chaplin will be when he turns over to the public that long-talked-of sixth production. . Helen Eddy, the young actress who patriotically gave up her Lasky con tract to join the camp players at Camp Kearney last Summer and who re mained true to her trust as long' as she was needed, is back among the picture stars in Hollywood again.

Blanche Bates, Hobart Bosworth and Eugene Strong are among the players in the cast to interpret Zane Grey's "The Border Legion" for the screen.

During this time. Mrs. Emerson be lieves her father's mind was poisoned against her. A. prior will of which Mrs. Emerson had knowledge and asserts she believes can be established in the contest, is said to have left practically the en tire estate to the adopted daughter.
