MOVIES AND MOVIE PEOPLE
BY MOLLY MERRICK.

HOLLYWOOD, Calf, August 90
There is general tendency In movie
land TO capitalize on the curiosity OF
the great American public. And one OF
the best ways is to sell your home to
some big butter and-egg man and take
to an apartment.
AS Autumn approaches, one after a "
other of the stars who have lived along
the routes Of the sightseeing husses are
diSpoSing OF the great piles Of masonry
that formerly have been part OF the bus
mess OF going Hollywood, This VIM
ter the apartment will be the thing
among movies.
Pola Negri and Prince Mdivani were
among the first to popularize the apart
ment Pola built her own. The Tai
madge sisters frowned upon the idea
Of the big home some time since. The
hotel apartment has been their choice
And In their wake followed the blond
Laura La Plante who lives in quite the
metropolitan fashion out here.
La NJ ri rented her Beverly Hills
house and lived at the Ambassador Ho~
tel before the urge to erect large
apartment building came upon her.
Emil Jannings is living In the Holly
wood boulevard home of the older Tai
madge sister--a huge edifice OF some
IS or 30 rooms with broad gardens and
a screen Of palm trees
And i'm the wake of these pioneers
have followed quickly Mary Brian.
Evelyn Brent. Buddy Rogers. Doris
Dawson. Louise Brooks and Dorothy
Mackaill
Greta Carlo has never gone in for
home or for entertaining. She lives
quietly at Santa Monica hotel and
confines her friends to the few pro-
fessionals of her choice.
One Beverly hotel shelters quite a
groupe Of moviettes-Mary Duncan.
Sallie O'Neill Marcelline Day. King
Vidor. Eleanor Boardman and Lowell
Sherman.
The bachelors have a club in Holly
wood And there Is the refuge of the
Hollywood Athletic Club for those I'M
married luminaries who find their
morning mail clogged with pale pink
envelopes.
Douglas Fairbanks, IT,, lives at the
Athletic Club. In fact. 81 peep lin
Its walls might thrill the heart" the

Joseph Hergesheimer will write a
Ronald Coleman story This actors
last picture came from the pen of
Joseph Conrad There were some Holly
wood alterations perhaps but Conrad
is no more
Joe" Hergesheimer, as he Is affec~
tionately called In Hollywood, knows his
movies. He may not know his story
when II Is In cellulOid, but he will know
how to spend the check
strange thing Is the changing OF a
tale from written to visualistic art, o,
Henry has never been incorporated into
movies with any flavor OF his charm
Now that "talkies" have come there Is
great scramble for the whimsical
tales OF this American writer,
With the thermometer well up toward
boiling point Hollywood boulevard
bravely displays Winter fashions, And
cinema ladies saunter In to luncheon In
the sweiteTing dignity OF printed velvet
frocks. double fox scarfs and Winter
chapeaux.
Ovsr today at Glendale Station Ruth
Elder arrived To open her Hollywood
move career, which will be a role
