Constance Taln1adge to
Have Two Leading Men

Constance Talmadge believes In doing
things on a large scale. She also be-
lieves In innovations. That is why she
is going to have two handsome leading
men instead of one in her next picture,
THE Divorcee.' an original story es-
pecially written for her by Edgar
Selwyn.
When Mr.. Schenck asked mo whether
] wanted Harrison Ford or Kenneth
Harlan for this next First National"
says Constance. FNI didn't know which
one to choose. Both work SO admirably
into the type of pictures which have
been given me recently that just could
not decide which would be the better
lead. so l compromised by suggesting
that both be engaged"
Harrison Ford was last seen with Miss
Constance in Wedding Bells" Ken
meth Harlan had the leading role oppo-
site her In Dangerous Business"
Mammals Affair."" Lessons In Love-"
"Woman's Place" and Good for Moth
ing" and shortly will be seen in her
January release. Polly of the Follies."
THE Divorcee'' Is being directed by
Sidney Franklin at the United Studios
Los Angeles. Mr.. Franklin has just Sc
lected Bear Lake in the mountains Of
California as the location for several
exteriors. This Selwyn story will give
Miss Talmadge an opportunity for the
most dramatic part she has had In sew
eral seasons. and in future she intends
to devote more and more Of her talent
along emotional and dramatic lines, as
she refuses to be any longer pigeon
holed as light Coincidence.

Musician at the Cohan Has

Hoboken Roy Jones. versatile drum

is getting hardened to Ed wynn's droi-
leries and can keep his seat pretty well
when the star Of "The Perfect Fool"
cavorts. except that he sometimes has
to stand upyto make sure that he Is not
walfoplng his drum out of his turn.
That is because the orchestra pit has
been sunk ten feet below the floor. in
order to restore the seats in the first
rows that were at first taken out fer
this musical revue.
But hardened as Jones is to all yarie-
ties ofstheatrical high jinks. the recep-
ton given to Fairbanks In the theater
the other day literally swept the drum
mer off his feet. A periscope Is now
being made through which Jones can
see Wynn and come in with his thumps
at the psychological moment.
Fairbanks came to see Wynn the other
day, and between the acts, as usual,
was forced to hold levee. Dozens Of
persons In the audience who recognized
him swarmed down to his seat and in
sisted that he autograph their pro-
grams. Fairbanks estimated afterward
that he spread himself on over 800 pro-
grams.

In numbers. The drummer apprehended
there would be q crashing effect that

And the drummer gave one leap out Of
his chair toward the nearest opening.
When they picked him up he was

GROWTH OF PACKET BUSINESS.
Steady Increase Since Starting
One Year Ago.

Just year ago last Monday Henry
Kocke leased the wharf on the river
front. He saw possibilities in the
packet business between this city and
| New Orleans. It was venture, but
Mr.. Kocke had faith. He was
obliged to guarantee the first packet
that came up the river a certain
amount before the owners of the
boat would make the trip. On the
first trip from New Orleans to DON
aldsonville there was just five dollars
worth of freight. Today four trips
are made weekly between Donaldson
willie and New Orleans by the steam
ers, John D. Grace, Jr., and the
ITerrebonne, and on every trip up
the river there is between $500 and
i$400 worth Of freight.
/ "It. was hard pull at first" said
Mr.. Kocke, "but I figured that COM
