MOVIES AND MOVIE PEOPLE
BY MOLLIE MERRICK.

HOLLYWOOD, March "a (N.A.N.A0.
The Grand Duke Alexander of Russia
arrived in movieland for an exceedingly
brief stay, and a group of Slavic gentieS
who have based their chief claim to
greatness on the fact that they were
aides in the ducal suite. generals in the
imperial army and otherwise high in
the Russian court shenanigans sud-
denly discovered that they had to
work" very hard along about train
time.
Nothing smaller than former gen.
eral, former princess or former duchess
has come to Hollywood's films from the
land of Peter the Great. Handsome en-
ameled decorations garnish the tales
these colorful people tell of their days
of splendor. Some of the decorations
have been run to earth and proved
themselves the product of the "hock
shop" or the work of the professional
fakirs who manufacture such things
ad infinitum.
Most of the genuine titles of Holly
wood are buried under plain mister"
or "missus,'' their owners having long
ago discovered that titles were hin
drance rather than help.
Gay games and little. quaint jokes are
part of the local entertainment system.
Now that the professional insulter has
become too well known throughout the
colony to further serve the purpose of
funmaking. the phoney radio program
is one of the chief means Of entertain
ment.
James Cruze is past master in this
game. He has his home wired so that

announcements made from his garage
by one of his confreres.
The garage being in a position to
command the main entrance of the
house, the jokesters get line on who
is dropping in to afternoon tea or Sun
day night supper. Then. when some
enc casually turns on the radio, strange
announcements come forth.
The first to fall for the gag was Betty
Compson-Jim Cruces wife. When the
radio announcer in one speech con-
secutively referred to her as Miss Betty
CompSon, then Betty Bronson. then
Betty Blythe, she burned up. Stepping
to phone, she called the station and
acidly suggested they inform the an
nouncer of her correct name.
Alice Gentle was tricked to fine
turn. The announcer in presenting
her made fiattering comment as to her
singing status, said she had delightful
personality, but suggested that she was
socially hampered by an Unacceptable

exactly worded that way. Miss Gentle
froze. James Cruze stepped to a phone
and told the announcer that he would

noon. But it took the guests a long
time to awaken to the fact that they
were being hazed.
