IT’S DOING A HATKETT” NOW
Russell Gleason doing "a Raymond
Hackett” in a new picture-in lo
cal parlance that means pleading
before a crowded courtroom, as
Hackett has become accustomed to
doing for several stage and talkie
roles.
A young lady tourist whose movie
idol is George Bancroft got her first
glimpse of the star in person as she
entered the studio; George, squat

At a time when to “talk turkey”
in Hollywood one must talk talkie,
it is rather unusual that young Wil
bur Morse. Jr., son of the assistant
secretary of commerce, should be
getting his break'’ into movie busi
ness by working wholly on silent,
pictures. He is a member of a new j
department created at Fox to make
regular silent pictures, not merely
silent versions, of the studio's talkies
He is another newspaper man to "go
into movies. ’
A REPORTER
When Morse was Washington cor
respondent of the Philadelphia Pub
lic Ledger and the New York Even
ing Post a few years ago, he ob
tained from President Coolidge an
interview on movie censorship, and
later when he came west, he was
the first to interview President Hoo
ver on his movie views.
These accomplishments stood him
in good stead when, tiring of pub
licity work, he applied to Winfield
Sheehan, Fox executive, for a writ
ing job. He got it. in the new de
partment. and his work on "Behind
That Curtain" and "The Cock-eyed
World." the latter a sensationally
ouccessful talkie, already ha- won
praise.
Morse, by the way. happens to be
the only Hollywood movie-worker
listed both in the social register and
in "Who's Who in America"—the
latter listing having been attained
as a Washington correspondent and
as the author of a book of children’s
stories.

There are actresses in Hollywood
whose life-stories read like tales
from the Arabian Nights, and there
are others whose pasts are virtually
as dull, except for the glamor shed
upon them by camera of footlights,
as those of the sheltered little
schoolgirl or society debutante.
Yet an hour In the company of
one of the former can be insuffer
ably stupid at times, while an hour
or even a whole day with one of
comparatively uneventful past can j
be a memorable pleasure.
For the lady of adventurous career
is likely to talk on and on and on.
about her fevorite theme, about her
self; the lady of little history will
answer questions readily, but talks
also of other things, ang her Alpha
and Omega are not the*capital I.
Of such is Marguerite Churchill.
13 years old, small, brunet, with the
largest brown eyes imaginable, and
a musical low voice to soothe the
grouchiest microphone. She has
another quality, too (which, by the
way. is not so rare in Hollywood
actor folk as is generally supposed.)
that radiates through all her speech
—intelligence.
• • •
FROM BROADWAY
An importation from Broadway,
she knows little of "Hollywood lift.”
—she goes to few parties, and does
not quite understand why an act
ress is supposed to be "seen" places,
end do things for the sake of be
ing "seen.’'
But she is curious about it. full
of questions—as if a mere reporter
could enlighten anyone on that
strange social phenomenon known
as "Hollywood life.”
But Miss Churchill has not had
an entirely dull life. She was born
on Christmas day. for one thing,
in Kansas City. Mo., by the way.
Then she has traveled much. Her
father owned a chain of theaters,
seme in South America, and she
lived in Buenos Aires for a time.
Shortly after they returned to New
York, her father died, and at 13
she became an actress, not because
i "she had always wanted to,” but
simply because she had to find some
i career.
