A S in every business and profession,
there is much maneuvering for
position in the picture business. And
as in every other walk of life today
disadvantage may turn out TO be to-
morrows advantage. All of which APP
plies to the news that Estelle Taylor
has been cast for the leading role
it amounts. practically, to starring
role-in THE Whip Woman for
First National.
Forrest Halsey wrote The Whip
Woman" He also did the story of
New York" a picture made by Para
mount a year ago in which the talent
ed wife of Jack Dempsey also APP
peared. But in New York a strong
acting part written into the story
by Mr.. Halsey and given colorful per
Torrance by Miss Taylor was cut to
little or nothing on the screen.
Miss Taylor. it seems, was not I'M

Yale Puppet Show.

Wooden figures on miniature stage
entertained the children Of Israel Of
ancient Greece. of Renaissance Italy
and of old London Town. And not
children only, for what adult visitor
in Paris has ever successfully resisted
the lure of Puhch and Judy in the
Champs Elysees?
This modern Yale puppet theater
will arrive from New Haven in a Ford
truck that, so it's student owners say,
has parked in so many famous back
yards that it has become an Object
dart with a history. The poet Robert
Frost and the radio magnate a. At
water Kent are among those who
have given it shelter.
This will be its last appearance in
the United States for some time, as
its young owners are sailing for Eu-
rope TO fulfill engagements there and
TO study maricnette technique in Italy
and Bavaria, where the art fiourishes.
On their return they hope to open a
permanent repertory puppet theater.
The performances in Washington
are under the auspices of the Bryn
Mawr scholarship fund.

Estelle' S Luck Changes.

would be cut down in proportion as
Miss Taylor's rose. So, with lot or
money at stake, the producers ordered
Miss Taylor's sequences cut from the
picture and Mr.. Halsey's story changed.
Mr.. Halsey did not like this and
neither did Miss Taylor, but she could
do nothing about it. However, Mr..
Halsey could and did.
He had seen the deleted sequences
of New York" He knew that If they
had been included they would probably
have made Miss Taylor a star In her
next picture. So he wrote story
with the characteristics Miss Taylor
had shown foremost in his mind and,
In revised form also wrote into it the
detected sequences from New York.
For a year Miss Taylor had been
drawing salary from United Artists
but kept idle because they could find
nothing for her to do. Her contract
had just expired. Mr.. Halsey sold
his story to First National. He sug
gested Miss Taylor for the lead and
she got it
So the man who threw her face on
the cutting room floor last year did
Miss Taylor a favor this year.

Wonder Set Interests.

THE Metropolitan Studio has been
the show.place of Hollywood the
past week.
The attraction was the nightly film
ing Of the brilliant ballroom scenes
of "Hell's Angels" the Caddo Co. S
air movie More than 500 extras have
taken part in the scenes, which were
photographed in techni-color under Oil
rection of Luther Reed.
A lavish $50, 900 set, replica Of Buck
ingham Palace, was background for
the dance scenes in which the prin-
cipals and extras appeared clad in
evening dress Of 1914 patterns. The
set is said to be one Of the most lavish
ever employed in motion picture.
Because of the color photography,
more lights were used than ever be-
fore in the filming of a motion-picture
scene.
The interior of the set covered an
area of 5000 square feet and the ex-
terror more than 10000 square feet.
"Hells Angels" is a story OF the
British Royal Air Force, with Greta
Nissen, James Hall, Ben Lyon and
Louis Wolheim in the principal roles.

"VOU can't please everybody" says
Madge Bellamy. who in the past
two years has veered from brunette to

Miss Bellamy has wide brown eyes,
a fair skin with just a suggestion of

Soon after that it happened that
some press agent discovered that Helen
of Troy and many other we'll known
and much admired ladies of history
were red-heads, whereupon the sale of
henna in Hollywood increased by leaps
and bounds. Madge, figuring that her

laughter" observes Charlie Murray,
First Nationals comedian.

creatures alluded to are really laugh
ing-it is just their mode of expression
and means no more than the bark
Of a dog or the meow Of a cat.
I'm fact, l often think dog that is
happy comes nearer TO laughing than
any other of the lesser animals. How
ever, since laughter is mans peculiar
gift, no wonder he wants to employ it
as much as possible.

something worth while to the world
