EDWINA BOOTH will be the only white woman in the cast of "Trader Horn." She has gone to British East Africa to play the rôle of Nina T. in the adventurous story of the dark continent. Two years ago Miss Booth was a stenographer, then she worked as an extra player and now she is appearing in one of the most glamorous rôles of the year. And that, in spite of all advice to the contrary, is why girls go to Hollywood

Ruth Harriet Louise

BY popular request, as they say, "Our Dancing Daughters" will be followed by "Our Modern Maidens," also an original story by Josephine Lovett. And, by way of clinching the success of the sequel, Anita Page will again play one of those tantalizing flappers, with Joan Crawford as the heroine of the picture

IN amazing woman—Gloria Swanson-who has had everything and lost it and had it again. A trifle bitter, but glorious fighter when she is forced to it. Her name is a synonym for luxury, she is envied by thousands of girls, but she is one of the most unhappy actresses on the screen

​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​

LOST—Leonard Hall. Somewhere in the wilds of Hollywood. Last heard from him was following note, which may give clue to his whereabouts:

For those with a roving eye the search for the world's loveliest women goes on as long as the eyesight holds out. But my hunt has come to an end in Hollywood.

I thought I'd seen the last word when I beheld the blondes of Vienna. For several years I swore by Flo Ziegfeld as a picker. Then I turned my allegiance to the gals of the films.

But that's all over now. The most beautiful women in the world, including the Scandinavian, work for Mr. Greer, famous Hollywood dressmaker, who makes marvelous duds for Norma Talmadge and many other players.

Greer has about eight models who positively glitter.

Why the picture executives don't offer them a million dollars I don't yet know, but I'm going to lurk around the Greer establishment until I either find out or am thrown out.

As a matter of fact, the saleswomen and waitresses of Hollywood stack up against any of the pippins to be found on any of the lots.

If the beauts of filmland ever stage a walkout, the producers can dig up all the loveliness they need in a half-hour on the Boulevard.

(Suggest that Los Angeles police assign keen-eyed dick to watch establishment referred to.)

​ ​ ​

No, this isn't Dolores Costello. It is Barbara Worth, who plays opposite Norman Kerry in "The King of Hearts." Miss Worth will further complicate matters by appearing in a story written by Helene Costello and Cliff Wheeler, tentatively titled "Anastasia"

​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​

Glenn Tryon is showing Merna Kennedy one of those gay night clubs. The little toy is a model of the big night club set used in "Broadway." The set is all wired for electricity, it has miniature chairs and tables and, probably, miniature prohibition agents

​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​

A modern mirror to reflect the face of a modern girl. The stand is finished in silver and holds an octagonal looking glass. And of course you can see that it frames the face of Laura La Plante

​ ​

The girl is Lily Damita. The man is Prince Louis Ferdinand of Prussia, son of a certain Mr. William Hohenzollern. And the picture was taken several years ago in Berlin. The Prince is now in Hollywood, which also happens to be the home of Miss Damita, Hollywood says that it's a romance. Lily and the Prince say that it's just one of those cases of old friendship.

The trained animal business in Hollywood is going to the dogs. And on all account of the talkies. Directions cannot be shouted from behind the camera lines, as in the silent movies, and it's a clever animal trainer who can teach a dog to perform by motioned signals. This is a picture of King, the while collie used in "Dr. Fu Manchu." King has been taught to bark when his trained raises his hand, to stop when the hand is brought down and to run off stage when the trained swings his arm. Neil Hamilton is the actor in this picture who is giving King some lessons in make-up.

​ ​ ​ ​ ​

The members of Our Gang go high hat and demand their own chairs. Everyone who is anyone around a studio rates a labelled chair. Our Gang made their own signs and if Farina should absent-mindedly sit in Wheezer's chair, this serious breach of etiquette would have to be settled outside
