William Russell, Athletic
 Star, Has a Real Chum

When William Russell came east to play in his first two pictures as Fox star, Sacred Silence" and Eastward Hoi'' he found he was very lonely without all the interests which had engaged his thoughts in the west. But after time his life ceased to be lonely, for he suddenly found a new companion.
 He was alone in his hotel room on a rainy afternoon when his phone bell jingled, and as he answered very youthful voice at the other end in- quired, "Is this you, MT. Russell ?"
 Before Russell could reply to this he was asked to honor his interview CT by calling on the latter in his room-the speaker apologizing by stating that he was unable to come to Russell.
 Small boys have always appealed to William Russell, and the voice was undoubtedly that of g. small boy. Cur iosity impelled him to accept the tn- vitation-and when he saw his host he was glad he had come.
 A little lame lad smiled & cheer5 greeting from g. wheel chair, and a. he shook the hand of the motion pic. ture star he had always admired tre
 mendously on the screen, a strong bond of friendship was established between them. The boy had seen Russell in the lob by of the hotel and had recognized him at once as his favorite scree1 celebrity. Now the pair are grea pals; for there is strong bond O sympathy between them due to tn | fact that Russell himself was lam
 during his boyhood. Sheer grit en tabled him to regain his strength af l ter an accident which left him help
 less for a long time; and now his ex perience is helping his new-fount friend to find comfort in the though
 that his own case may prove not | hopeless one.

Cottage Built On @ Studio Stage For "Old
 Lady 31" Setting

A two story cottage, stronger and more durab1y constructed than many dwelling places has been built upon one of the enclosed stages at the Me tro studios in Hollywood, for the production of "Old Lady 31.''
 When motion picture scenes take place on different floors of the same building it is customary to build sets side by side on the studio stage. Sometimes the lower end of stair way will be at one side of the studio and the upper end across the floor.
 In the stage play of "Old Lady 31" by Rachel Brothers, and in the screen version by June Mathis, there is much human appeal in the leave taking of the aged hero and heroine from the home that has so many pre-
 cious memories for them. Maxwell Karger, Director General, decided not to take the usual liberties with the unity of place, in order that Emma Dunn, the star, and Henry Harmon (who played the leading roles in "Old Lady 31" on the stage) might find 1t easy to keep in the spirit of the story. The Metro Director General | as one setting and furnished as though i 1t were a real home.
 In complying with MT. Rangers I desires. Amos Myers. the technica director, realized that the second ! floor must sustain the weight no
 only of heavy, old-fashioned furniture 1 but of the actors, director and cam i eraman, and the lights. He there fore designed his set so that three l tons might be placed upon the upper | floor 20.

Peggy Hyland's Daily
 Mail Is Some Bundle

''Give me my mall. Let me read what the people think of me- Thus Peggy Hyland, the dainty William Fox motion picture star, as she threw herself on the lounge in her dressing room. Miss Hyland has just left the set after an unusually hard mornings work before the camera.
 The little actress hastily scanned the envelope she received. Here is one from China,' she said. Open ing 1t. she found a piece of paper that looked as though a chicken with muddy feet had walked across it.
 Take that to the Chinese inter preter,' she said to her secretary. "I have had letters from all parts of the world, but they were usually written in some sort of English. I must an swer this-and in Chinese, too.''
 Miss Hyland opened more than a hundred letters during her luncheon hour. They came to her from all parts of the world. They were let ters that told of the regard in which she was held by motion picture pa irons. Some criticized her, some praised her, some advised her; and in three of the hundred each writer offered her his heart and home. ''I try to comply with all requests, '' | smiled the little star, "but you know | 1 cannot marry everyone who pro- | poses to me and live within the law | Proposals are the only letters I dc l not answer"
 i Sc was about to open a letter from | Manila, when her call came, and 1 Miss Hyland went back to the sta ge | to work on a picture with which tc
 charm more patrons of the silen1 | drama.

SCREEN AND STAGE
 EDITED J. LUsTIG
BLIND SOLDIER
 LONGS FOR PEARL
 WHITES PICTURE

One of the prettiest compliments ever paid a dramatic artist was paid the internationally famous picture star, Pearl White, now of the William Fox forces. Four million eyes have seen Pearl White weekly for several years, but the greatest compliment she ever received came to her from two eyes that never will look upon her again. It came to her in let ter from a French soldier This said:
 'I am a French 'poilu'. For four years I fought the Boche without be- ing wounded. Then just two days before the end, got it. Many times, while I was back from the trenches I have seen you in the cinema, and
 each time said to my friends, Miss White is wonderful actress. She makes you forget war, she makes you forget everything ;r-~
 "I saw an American soldier, and he told me to write to you and you would send me a photograph. Then I went: back before I had time to write, and I got it.. The doctors say I shall never be able to see again. But I am having g. friend write, and
 hope you will send me your photo graph. I cannot see it; but I. can put it on the wall in my room, and every one that comes to see me I shall ask to describe you to me from the photo graph. Then I shall think of the times you made me forget all the horrors of war, and shall be very happy, even though I am blind" Miss White has thousands of re-
 quests for photographs, but this one is the most pathetic she has received Of course,~ the popular Fox star has l sent her picture to the pot1u; but with it has gone a more substantial gift.
