There were twenty-seven In the party, and six Fox film horses, it was the largest motion-picture company that had ever been down In the canyon, and the party remained eight daya another record for motion-picture companies. The party was lodged at Hermit Creek Camp, 1500 feet below the rim of the canyon, to which camp the party went on mules down the seven-mile Hermit trail. Eight pack mules took the company's paraphernalia to the camp, and during the stay of the Farnum company at the camp, the Hermit trail was closed to visitors.

His shoulders were raw after the' first day's work.

There Is probably no question that the burn was painful, but Mr. Farnum bore it with the noble patience he has so often exhibited In the Interests of art as hero of the films. The Fourth of July besides being Uncle Sam's anniversary, was nUio Mr. Farnum's birthday, and in the evening the) members of the company gave Mr. Farnum a birthday party, during the course of which the star was presented with a box containing a) vibrator with all its different parts, which, as everybody knows, is the purveyor of great comfort after a hard day's fllmlne.

In March, Miss Davles read Katherine Haviland Taylor's novel, "Cecilia of the Pink Rcses." and became imbued with an ambition to do something more substantial and soulful than being starred In musical comedy. In April she had a company of prominent players and a very capable director hard at work on her first motion-picture production, an adaption from tha story that first gave her a desire to become a star of the screen.

Thin nracrlcallv In MAY ALLISON IS HUNTING A HOME.

House hunting Is these days one of the many activities of May Allison, Metro star, who has recently, arrived from the East. That la house hunting by proxy, her sister doing the actual leg work required In the Irksome task of finding a happy home, as Miss Allison herself is extremely busy on her new picture, "The Return of Mary." After a thorough canvass of the suburbs of the city. Miss Allison has about decided to locate In Hollywood, she having, found a residence on La Brea avenue which has nufflclent grounds for a war garden, and which Miss Allison plans to lease for several months. In the meantime, the star is living at a Hollywood hotel with her mother and sister. She says that If her present plans mature she wll Willd a home In Hollywood, which her mother may occupy the year round.

It was, rumored a short time ago, that somebody else a masculine somebody was about to eiecure the legal right to buy Miss Allison a home, but she denies there la anything In it, and says that he will continue to buy her own homes for a while, anyway. CHARLIE CHAPLIN FINDS NEW FORTUNE. "Perquisites are what you get besides what you get," Is a line from an old comedy. And now It looks as If Charlie Chaplin's perquisites might With Ltd." Leo CarrlBo Stewart, Triangle's cowboy hero, had a narrow escape from serious Injury one day last week while working on his latest picture, "Cactus Crandall." Only the presence of mind of his director, Cliff Smith, saved him. The company was working In Sulphur Canyon, near the Triangle's ranch studio in Santa Monica Mountains.

Stewart was making his getaway from a band of Mexican outlaws. Tying his lariat to a tree he swung over tha side of a cliff and descended, hand-over-hand. When within twenty feet of the bottom, a shrill cry of warning from Director Smith caused Stewart to look up, wen he beheld a huge boulder, loosfned hs- his weight on the rope, toppling on tho edge of tho cliff. Stewart's first thought was to swing In end seek cover In a cave In front of him, but Rmllh called over, "Jump and run for Acting in a second. Stewart obeyed and made his escape amid an avalanche of rocks.

He was found to be stunned when dragged to safety by members of the company, the huge txmlder having missed him by mere Inches. The cave wa completely filled by the avalanche, and had Stewart sought And tha Original New Tork Cast Intact afraid to take his dad to see. Aside from which, Mr. Catlett has nothing to do except play the star role. And Just as a nice little exciting piece of news, we pause to announce that with the launching of "Look Pleasant," Walter Catiett enters on a career as a ull-flcdirud tage director, if not with Mr.

Morosco, then with another producer who has already made him an ofTer. Do you remember how Walter Catlett, back in the old Burbank days, used to be famous, for making two luughs grow where only one grew before? Why, he'd have been able to make a musical comedy of "Romeo and Juliet" If ever he had tried. And the crltli-s used to get irritated and scold, but it never did any good or harm. Catlett just knew human nHture and he knew human nature liked to laugh. That's whnl finally put him on New York's Broadway end what hs kept Tilm there ever since, and that will keep him there as long as he will stay, while we go ('allot liens out here.
