Hollywood, October 16. Bumped into Clara Bow at ye Famous plant. Clara, with her reddish locks curled harum scorum- ly, and quite long, too. The locka, of course. In her next flick, Station CXY" (letters subject to challenge), Clara's going to have long hair, or semi-long, which may for may not be a hirsute item.
Her trip abroad has been post- poned until December. She won't marry Harry Richman until her re- turn to the U.S.A. At this penning, țit is very possible that the marriage will materialize. Clara thinks the world of this Richman boy. Says he isn't

MARY PICKFORD IN “COQUETTE"
LIGHTS REPLACE VOICE
The "talkies" have silenced the megaphoned voices of screen direc- tors and their assistants.
The hundreds of extras in the country Club and Court room scenes of Mary Pickford's all- talking picture, "Coquette", were given their voice and action direc tions by means of a series of light signala.
The system of lights was con- nected with a tiny switchboard in the hand of Bruce Humberstone, first assistant to Director Sam Taylor.
By a series of flashes, the actions of both principals and ex- tras were silently controlled. Smail rellow electric bulbs were placed where they were visible to the eyes of the players but unseen by the battery of cameraa.
Should Harry's initial 'talky" meet with popular approval and re- sult in his movies as a business, his CORRINE GRIFFITHS AND A DOG before the cameras and in range
marriage to Clara will not inter- fere with her career, though he 'wants her to give up pictures when she becomes Mrs. Richman. Should he, on the other hand, return to New York and the stage and his night club, 'tis likely Clara, as R. will depart from Hollywood and make her residence in Manhattan. At all events, there's the situa- tion. Clara looks better than this scribe has seen her in many a day She has lost weight, too. Takes strenuous exercises every morn. Setting up. Boxing. Steam bats. Ambitious, I calls It.
