Lottie Pickford, the daring little
Diamond From the Sky" star, has
nothing on her sister Mary. In an

The Lasky players are invariably
trying to do something unusual. Some
of them were camped out in the great
American desert for two weeks, IN the
hope of being able to get pictures of
a mirage. Such thing would be
about as easy as photographing an
Irish Banshee., However, they are to
be commended for their efforts,
though fruitless.
John Barrymore, another Famous
Player star, has received a letter of
protest from an impatient Miss of
Rrockton, Mass, who thinks it per-
feet shame that he is a married man.

be appreciated by 100000 persons.
No longer do the curious ask if the
photo-play has come to stay. They
ask now if it is possible that it has
any limitations. Mr. Cecil E. DeMille,
director-general of the Lasky Feature

like a general exodus from the foot
lights.
Many inquiries have come in re-

been taken off the Paramount pro-
gram. Not So She took an extended
vacation last spring. and the effect OF
it is just striking Honolulu now. Next
Thursday, however, she will appear,
sweeter than ever, in a play that
seems to be written all around her, sc

being. Strange 10 announce also, is
the fact that her little sister Lottie,
