On The Screen

Constance Talmadge, Select Star
now in California, where she is work
ing during the winter months, recent
ly paid visit to the Hollywood stu
dos and hobnobbed for several hours
with numerous old friends.
She was greeted with acclaim by
Douglas Fairbanks and his director
Alan Dwan, while Frank E. Woods,
supervisor Of productions, welcomed
her with open arms. Albert Cowles,
a member of the scenario department,
and Harvey Thew, who wrote the
scenario for The Shuttle" with Mar
garet Turnbull, were also among the
welcoming party.
Miss Talmadge visited the studio
where Mary Pickford was at work,
and not only spent a few minutes
chatting with her. but also renewed
acquaintance with Marshall Neilan,
her director.
One of the strangest things l saw
on visiting Hollywood" declared Miss
Talmadge. was the skeleton of the
great intolerance set, about which
cluster so many memories of the days
when | played the Mountain Girl Lit
orally, Babylon has not yet fallen. 1t
stands there, colossal, but it's glory
and rich color are missing, like the
people who once gave it life. 1t made
me reel sad for time
Constance Talmadge will appear
here in The Shuttle at the Washing
ton theatre on Friday and Saturday.
1t is adapted from the novel of the
same name by Frances Hodgson Bur-
nett, directed by Rollin Sturgeon and
is being distributed by Select Pictures.
Philip Landicutt an aristocratic
young American though born in the
environment of Christianity has three
outstanding faults-class distinction,
race prejudice(, and unbelief in God.
AS the United States takes its place
in the fight for democracy, Phil vol
unteers and goes with the Marines to
France. Later, during maneuvers in
Belgium to suppress the ruthless de-
struction of property and life by the
German forces, Phil is trapped in the
garnet of a cottage. where he comes
