Well and Well
They do tell a story regarding a
w. K. producer who enjoys his
little chuckie. He decided to fire
one of his writer's. He phoned him:
Quoth the writer: What have
you got on your mind, Ross?"
Quoth the producer: Nothing.
From now on you're just a men,
ory."
Though, personally, 1 think it
much too subtle for a-er-pro-
ducer.
Two BOyds
And now the colony discussed
the situation of William Boyd,
versus William Boyd. From
Broadway comes one William Boyd
to enact featured role in
George Fitzmaurice' initial U. A.

randfather wired: Glad you ar

married. in four words, suggest
the Pathe brains change their
Boyd's first name to Pathe. 'Tis
bit complicated, of a surety, but
when each studio stands on its
publicity legs and RACES: "I'H
bring suit and MAKE your Boyd
change his name," one just set
ties back and applauds the old
army game.

Union Men
The local music union permits
no grass to take root under its
feet. Recently, Clarence Prown
started rehearsals for his new pic

trola on the set and play records
that would aid his players in grasp
ing the mood - of each scene. A
prop man took charge. About half
