Gladys Hulette, Thanhouser star,
seeks the ugliest pup in the world
Other motion picture actresses may
have overpowering ambitions for
herd of motor cars, some may seek
jewels, a few may hope to marry the
most beautiful man alive, but those de-
sires are not part of Gladys Hulette.
She wants an ugly pup.
Miss Hulette, who has just finished
making The Shine Girl a Than
houser production that is to be re-
leased through Pathe, is now working
with William Parke, her director, on
a picture to be called Prudence, the
Pirate" Miss Agnes C. Johnston, who
wrote the story, entered in the cast
"Panthus, the ugliest puppy in cap
tivity."
This pup is to be Miss Hulette's
chum throughout her adventures in the
picture.
Marguerite to Quit.
Marguerite Clark, reaching a height
of puplarity which makes her nearly
so popular as Mary PickfOrd, is to quit
the movies soon to capitalize her popu-
larity on the stage. This is to be in a
musical comedy to be produced by
Charles Dillingham;.
No longer is there talk about a stage
star losing drawing power on the stage
by permitting herself to be shown in
pictures.
Miss Clark says she won't appear in
pictures for at least a year after the
conclusion of her present contract with
the Famous Players.
Doris Baker, now appearing in Fox
pictures, is to be seen on the screen
at present in two current feature re-
leases. One is the Kolb and Dill pic
ture, Glory" in which 9year-old
Doris had one of the biggest roles in
the picture. and the other the Uni
versal picture, "a Daughter of the
Night" AT present Miss Doris is at
Huntington Lake with Director Walter
Reeds Fox company, and in which
Doris has a program of stunts to do
that would challenge the courage OF a
much older photo-player.
