has titled "Alice in Hollywood."
William, who plays opposite
Bebe Daniels in her latest First
National picture "The Honor of
the Family," coming to Warner
Bros. Elsinore theatre, declares
that he makes daily discoveries.
"One of the first," he relates,
"was that all motion picture
streets are crooked. No one ever
saw a street built for motion pic
tures that was over a block or so
in length. They all turn, In order
to hide the fact that they are
movie streets, and naturally do
not extend for miles."
A second chapter In the book
is on movie stairways. "If you
travel by movie stairways, you'll
never get anywhere," William ob
serves. "We hare. several in "The
Honor of the Family." They are
very ornate and with carpets. But
I have quit trying to use them!"

'Spirit of Notre
Football Classic; Opening

The story of "The Spirit of No

ten per cent fiction. That is one of
the reasons why this football pic

A contrast between Evelyn
Brent's two pet hobbies is almost
as strange as the hobbies them
selves.
In the first place, she is an
ardent collector of perfumes. Ex
otic and heavy odors appeal to
her more than the lighter flower
types. Not only does she like
the perfumes themselves, but she
collects weird foreign flagons In
which to keep them.
As a contrast she is something
of a bibliophile, going in, not
only for antique volumes, but
also tor first editions and unusual
bindings. Modern fiction finds
no place in her library. She has
learned to love the smell of a
musty old tome as much as her
most valuable perfume,
