LOS ANGELES. Jan. 3O.-It is
confidently expected that Marshall
,,,cilan will direct Marion Davies next
cosmopolitan p., .uction for Metro
Goidwyn-Mayer.
Miss Davies declares she believes
arrangements will be concluded al
Lcst at once to make this possible,
nj she is much delighted with the
i.rospect. The story is to be adapted
from "Thc Red MILL" and Frances
Marion has done the scenario. With
Neilan directing and Frances Mar
ion script, the beautiful star should
hc sure of n big hit. Filming of
Beverly Of Graustark," the current
paYies production has just been con-
GUIDED, and the star will have fort
night or so of holiday before begin
inHg her next picture.
Ramon Noyarro, who has just re-
iuncd homo from New York, was
preceded by a whisper to the effect
that he hopes to play the title role
IN "Liliom" for his next M-G-M
production. No official announcement
81 this is to be had as yet, but re-
able authority asserts that Ramon
is eager for a chance ut the role,
and since Metro originally owned the
tilm rights it seems more than pos
sltlc that young Novarro will get
his wish.
Then Of course, it is interesting TO
remember that Benjamin Glazer who
made the original translation Of the
Molnnr play for the New York stage
2 production is now an adept at
scenario work. and is here in Holly
wood too, so magnificent script
night be expected for this production
in case it is filmed again.
Pola Ncgri has bought n chateau
in France. It's just near Paris, out
toward Versailles. She plans TO have
il for the permanent residence of her
mother. who is now visiting Pola at
beverly Hills. and will make it her
own headquarters when she finds time
10 dash away from Hollywood for
2 little breath of the Paris boule
Yards.
1t is rumored oil about Hollywood
that the famous Polish star may be
allowed n rather longer leave on
hcr next European trip--with time TO
mako one picture at the L.. F. A.
studio in Berlin, where Lasky's are
now interested partners with the
Berlin and M-G-M organization.
! have just heard that Irene Rich
IL 10 play the leading part in the
new Lubitsch production, "The Door
Mat"
At the moment Irene is working in
"Silken Shackles," which is utterly
without any neglected wife scenes, and
offers quite a sparkling role for this
Star. With one more Lubitsch pic
furc in her repertoire Miss Rich will
undoubtedly have eliminated all recol-
lection on the part Of her fans Of those
voe-begone roles in which she played
81. long following her success in
Brass"
Douglas Mclean was looking at
leading women all this week.
Choosing the one for n part in
That's My Baby" is not so easy. but
II little bird told me that Margaret
Morris seems to have the advantage
so far.
William Beaudine is to direct, and
with the comedy repute which be has
Just established with the Mary Pick
ford picture be ought to make the new
laugh-film something notable.
Rudolph Valentino is expected home
'lon, and plans for his new produc-
zion. Sons of the Sheik," are pro-
crossing rapidly.
There are a dozen reasons why I'm
clad that Norma Talmadge is making
Xxi" But one OF them is because
she has achieved such a wonderful
now bob. II is without doubt the most
becoming haircut this star has ever
worn, and is gaining great fame all
over Hollywood.
