Wallace Reid has always been a
speed demon, within limitations. The
Paramount star has trouble in keep
ing within the speed laws even in his
own car, such is the impulse to crowd
on the juice and hit only the high
spots. He admits however, that when
he got up to 80 miles an hour the 9TH
er day at Santa Monica, Calf, while
making scenes for THE Roaring
Road" his new Paramount picture,
which will be displayed at the Muir
rette theatre today, he went as rapidly
as he cared to go.

him, but only Guy Oliver, of the stock
company At one time going 80 miles

Wallace Reid doesn't say how he felt
about it.
At the famous Santa Monica death

car skidded taking the turn and the
driver of another speed car skidding

Nearly everyone has a pet super.
stition-whether willing to confess it
or not. Madaline Travers, the motion
picture star, has hers, and it centers
in the color yellow. This beautiful
and talented woman will not act in
scene unless there is some ye!.L W
somewhere 1t may be in a curtain
or it may be in a sofa pillow; but if it
is not included somewhere in the get
ting. she wears a yellow rose in her
corsage or in her hair: and # the yei-
low rose is not acceptable to the scene
she places it so that she can have It
in full view while she is acting.
In THE Love That Dares," which
is showing today at the Murray the
atre, she did not have to worry be
cause yellow was used in every scene.
and in some scenes there were floods
