GARRULOUS GARRY
Is JUST FULL OF
SCREEN ROMANCES
BY HELEN KLUMPH

UVOU RE hours late 1 accused
i Garry as she slid into her scat,
sWhere have you been2"
eat a lecture" she gasped weakly.
''Picture it, II you Canine at lee
ture. I'm going TO movies from now
to midnight to make me forget 1t. My
allegiance to the noiseless drama will
never falter again
OF course, l knew that II I waited
long enough I would hear all about 1t,
but with her penchant for adventure al
most anything is likely to happen to
Garry, so l simply couldn't wait. l
demanded her story.
'The subject" she told me with
little flourish that bore eloquent witness
to the hours she had spent In trying
to act like Nazimova, was The Peris
that Confront Our Girls.
az went in thinking, of course, that
the lecturer was going to tax ABOUT
John Barrymore. Richard Barthelmess
and Rudolph Valentino. But can you
imagine II? He never even mentioned
them 1T.
''He does not know half of the perils
that confront our girls. He ought to
f, take six months course in movie
matinees. He'd find out that screen
romancing is a far more tourlshlng
pastime than window shopping ever
vas.
NAIOw, If that lecturer were really
~ up to date he would talk on
How Competition With Wally Reid
Has Improved Our Boys or National
Standards-Can Viola Dana snake
Them as Well as the Shimmy,| But
you cant expect any one whose business
is talking to be enthusiastic about
movies, can you?'
"You seem to be-" I told her;
"And that reminds me-" Garry broke
In. "of Tommy Meighan.'
Yes" answered, I've noticed al
most everything does.
But unnoticing, Garry went on.
"He wrote to Lois Wilson while
apo from New York and told her Una!
outside of one theatre he saw pllleo
sLois Wilson in the City OF sl,en,
Men, Two girls behind HIM read II
aloud and remarked, Good TOT LOIS
Gee, what chance: AND that loi
the demure Lois who used to be d scnoo
teacher"
uAND speaking of Lois" I broke in
A"Yes, know what you re goinl
to ask" Garry spoke up. 1ou "
heard that CASTOR Glass Is intereste'
IN her. Ard that whole rumor starte'
3ust because she drove him nome lron
a beach party of Mary Miles MIn'er
He had hurt his wrist when he wa
S;v;ro and some one had to drive HI
car for him. and Lois Wilson just nap
pened to know how to drive that KIM
of car, and-'
"I bet any number of other men ther
would have been glad to break tnei
wrists and let her break their car, too'
] added. o;d "Eve
.,rce Won saw her in What Ever
Woman Knows you've thought tina
I,ois Wilson was the most subtle
charmers. Now I prefer .
+ az have a feeling you're going
mention May MacAvoy, l proke An.
II was" she admitted. And una
reminds me of Tommy, Meisnan
nephew, Eddie Sutherland. ,od
'Another romance, gaspe'
psGarry, how do you collect them

I've had a letter from Doris May. - -
