WAKE UP QUICKLY
BY CONSTANCE PALMER

n NJ L ~ - lE W AM LOUIS II. Mayer
n star. is working hard on "a Qucs.
ton of Honor" Director Edwin
CarCwc is hurrying it along so maybe
he can go East to the fight. He's a
strange pcrsonality-hns about one
eighth Indian blood in him, Chippewa,
| think.
They were shooting an outdoor scene
in an arbOr right near the lions den
Mt the SClig Zoo. Every ono was stand
ing around waiting for Miss Stewart to
make an appearance. Mr.. Carcwc was
stretched out on a bench, sound asleep.
\ very close lion roarcd and he sat bolt
upright, looking n little bcwildcred.
Pretty soon Miss Stewart did come
gracefully across the lawn, accom-
panied by one secretary and one maid.
She seemed kind of tired and cross
they'd been on location all morning
so after watching n short scene | beat
Il hasty retreat. Discretion is the better
part Of an interview.
r MET Julian ,Josephson out at
l. Goldwyn yesterday. He's the man
who wrote the first Charlie Ray sue
rcsScs. while they both were with 1nco.
He's darling.
We sat around and gossped watch
ing Tom Moore do very difficult scene
for From the Ground Up" his new
story by Rupert Hughes. Mr.. Hughes
has mastered completely the technique
of the screen since his coming to the
movies. In all his stories there are
great many screen tricks and photo
graphic novelties.
The one yesterday was n conversa-
tiOn between Mr.. Moore and Helene
Chadwick. his leading lady, with their
remarks flashing on the screen between
them as they talk.
f. Mason Hopper is directing From
the Ground Up" He's a very nice
man. What do you think he'd rather
talk about than anything else? Not
movies, not art. not books-but cook
ing. AS he himself does it.
He told me how to make biscuits
without ning-diagrammed 1t, il
lustrated it, spoke it with gestures.
And when ] get my house I'm going
to try it. You bCtCha And an avocado
salad. and lobster cocktail in a hOl-
lowed out artichoke. Doesn't it make
Your mouth water!
They tell me he has Il whole library
of cookbooks, in every language
Chinese. Persian, FrenCh-and knows
i
! TNliEN pretty soon we all went over
L to the Goldwyn cafeteria-Mr.
JoScphson, Mr.. Hopper and everybody
uicc-and drank very soft things and
told Jokes and early movie day expert
cnccS. Il defy you to eavesdrop on more
than two novelties and find them talk
ing about anything else for any length
of tme.)

wonderful rolling broguc. When he act.
