Two handsome young things, boy

nov said timidly. "No," We answered
We're sorry, but our dstsbook says
lunch with Mr.. and Mrs. Rex ingram
to-day" But we're Rex Ingram SAID
,he girl eagerly. "I mean he is. I'm
Mrs Ingram, you know" And then we
learned that the two handsome young
things were really the big director
some persons say the biggest IN Amer
ies-and his clever star, Alice Terry.
OF course. neither one Of them has any
right 70 expect recognition looking a.
they do. Mr.. Ingram must be nearly
fbirv. but doesn't look more thar
tuenty-one. and he Is the picture o.
owen Moore in his early BiogrAph
DAYS. They both came from ireland
and perhaps that accounts for the re-
semblAnee. Then, on the screen, Alie'
Terry is very blond. and in real III
rhe has the most gorgeous dark au
burn. naturally curly. hair, and Sd
wears II cat across her forehead IN
bang. So you can imagine how tht'
changes her appearance.
The day she lunehed with Us sh
wore a large, black velvet hat with
pink velvet roses on il and long very
smart, black satin frock.
Isn't she beautiful" We whispered
20 Mr. Ingram as soon as we were
seated. Jack MeadOr had Joined rs
and was talking 70 Mrs. Ingram under
me mistaken impression that we were
going to interview Mr.. ingram on THE
Prisoner Of Zenda." which was at that
very moment drawing thousands 70 the
Astor Theater. But 20 our romantic
soul Mr. Ingram's own love story was
u paramount I'VE almost spelled It
with a capital P) importance. "No
wonder you married her the moment
you saw her" we continued. "But ]
didn't" said Mr.. Ingram. 81 knew her

Was Miss Terry IN pictures about

ram.
Yes. I was" answered Mrs. Ingram.
II made a picture with Bessie Bar

old. They wouldn't let me make an
other because was too fat, and at
hat time I didn't take II seriously. at
east not seriously enough TO get thin
no. thank you. won't have any cream
in my cofee-as do now" This IS
Miss Tcrry's first visit TO New York,
and she says she feels like "Alice in
Wonderland
When We told Mr. Ingram that we
considered him one Of the two best
directors Of the age and he admitted
that the other one Of the two was
rot only the best director in the world,
iut also his best friend. then and
mere he offered US a part in his next
picture, "The Passion Vine He is all
enthusiasm over this short story, which

Where the Pavement Ends He is

Florida. Miss Terry Will play in this
picture opposite Ramon Navarro. tho
Rupert OF "The Prisoner OF Zenda.
md we wonder what will happen TO
Rodolph VALENTINO when the women
see Ramon without his beard.
Mr.. lngram's next picture, which will
be released in the autumn, will be
BLACK Orchids title which he has
Rad 10 change TO "Trifling Women" for
reasons Of state.
The former sounds much more exotic
and interesting. but the name Of the
picture really doesn't matter much so
long as the name Of tho director Is Rex
Ingram.
