I nuked him what he thought nf things aB they stand "Well," he said, "of course, none of the ttudles here In New Yerk leek very busy.

"Yeu would be surprised te knew hew cleelv we fellow the Government "reports en general business conditions throughout the country. Isolated sections don't matter se much te us; what we want te knew Is the average condition "And lately the Government reports from Washington show, for the first time in many months, n turning upwnid. That Is our cue. It means It Is time for us te start te meet the coming revival, for we must produce many months nlicflcl of the time the public sees our pictures. Se we nre all beginning te liustle around nnd leek lively, for, though there will be isolated sections showing depression for some time te come, the upward trend in ether places Is bound te help them, nnd n general tendency toward optimism Is the surest thing in the World te mnkc people begin te spend their money en reasonably priced amuse ments like the movies." I made the investigation "below the surface' 'in the Eastern studies, and while this week happens te be a tort of "between-the-ni-ts" period, I found plenty of eidencc that there I a general pepping up of work. fOK the last three tercet or mere I had found everywhere a lert of dull lethargy. These who were working did ' half-heartedly, for they didn't knew where their next job) were coming from, and te were in no hurry te finish the ones they had. Ihit that has suddenly ehangctl. HUGO BAI.LIN, who produces pictures in which his wife, the charming Mabel Ilnllln, stars, has dropped ten yars from his ngc since the Inst time I saw lilm. Then thev begged me te help find a htery fit for them te produce. Yeu may remember I told you about It nt the time and invited would-be scenarists te send rcrlpts te them. , On Thursday I saw them again and they were about ns happy a couple as I ever saw, barring honcjmeoncrR and new divorcees. Fer they have found net one suitable story, but three. And they all came in at once. Sir. nallln Is new deep in the intricacies of writing the continuity for the first production and they will stert work 01 men ns it is finished. And the possession of the ether two scripts guarantees th-m against their recent heart breaking spell of inactivity, forced by lnck of anything fit te work en. While there's nothing official In it, I'm expecting Cosmopolitan studies te resume work Immediately. Thc have recently slewed things down because of distribution difficulties, but this, as I understand it. has been ndjusteil nnd the verv fect that they have announced Marien Davies' "Kneluintment" and "det Rick Quick Wallingford" In the trade papers for early release proves that some arrangement has been made. .Marien Davies herself will return within n week or ee from her long stay en the West Coast. That Itself is significant. Pnthe's organization Is pushing ahead en the present Hutch serial nnd officials ndmltted te me that work Is being ruhed because they have another chapter thriller which they want te get under way as seen ns they can. Irene Castle's announced vaudeville contract isn't going te take her out of pictures. She's going te de vaudeville en the tide. She will work for the next three or four weeks before the camera, play vaudeville while the film is being cut nnd edited, then make another picture and se en. Edwin Hollywood, Miss Cabtle's director, is just about working his head off in the Estee studies en East 1124th btrect, getting some of the sets ready for an immediate sheeting. The Trl-Art people, whose first attempt at a different kind of picture was "The Beggar Maid." are starting n new one. "Thr Yeung Artist." This is the cemrnny I told you nbeut recently, built upon tin Idea of a jeung girl art Atudent who formed the organization in order te brlns mere cloudy te public nttentlen the great works of pnlntlng nnd sculpture. Each photoplay story is built upon some one of the world's mnstcrpiee?. The big Tex studies, for the first time In my knowledge, nre absolutely devoid of production activity. But this doesn't mean there's nothing doing there. It Just happened that all the companies have finished almost simultaneously and the various sets, are being struck nnd new ones built, while the directors arc cutting the stuff ttiey have just made. The '11 all be at it again seen, the most ' Interesting news te me being that Bill Fnrnum is back nnd thnt Herbert Brenen, formerly director of the Tnlmndges nnd mere recently of I'earl White, will handle the menaphene for him. Brenen is just finishing the continuity of the Rtery. Dick Bnrthelmcss nnd his company are bnck in New Yerk after three week down in Maine. They are finishing the sheeting of the present story nnd will probably iml work next week. Then, after a week of prcparatlen.cDlck will start a new one. William Christie Cabanne, the R-C director. Is sheeting close te twenty four hours a day up at the old Metre studies en Sixty -first street. I never knew a director who se much hated eating :ind sleeping during the making of n photoplay. They seem such a waste of aluable time te him. Seme day I'm expecting him te divide his company into three shifts of eight hours each and fctand ever the whole three hlmelf. It's a pity he wasn't working when they changed from daylight-saving time. It would have given him an extra hour. 50, YOU SEK, thing are looking decidedly mere eptuniitic.

I dashed up the btairs two nt n time, nnd get out every single dress I had .md spread them around en the bed. I didn't have very mnny clothes, because, of course, I hadn't hnd much money te spend en such things, but mother had sent me all my last summer's things and two new dresses, and while we were wetklng nt Fert Lee I'd bought some things. New Yerk is nn nwfully discouraging place hi summer, though, it ou want oek smart. In winter it's different, because ever body wears coats, and the leally beautiful frocks don't show, but in hummer, when laundry bills nre simply mountain high, it'H quite u struggle te leek nice. I hnd one dnrling dress, of very thin, dark -blue organdie. It was trimmed with little narrow white frills, nnd had a big snsh, and it wns awfully be coming. But it had te be laundered every time It was worn, if it was te be kept cilsp nnd fresh looking if it didn't leek perfectly fresh nnd newly done, it looked like a messy rag you 1 new thesi dresses ! The upkeep en that frock was simply ghnstly. The French laundry charged me $1 every time tiiey washed It. The Chiiriman ut the corner charged me les, but he did it enh about ft third as well, and left the blue part looking sneaky. I'd tried delus It myself, in the laundry at the club, nnd it looked worse than when the Chinaman did it. Luckily, I sent It te the French place just before I went te Cape Ced, se It looked simply wonderful that after neon. I couldn't quite decide te wear it, because It wus se awfully Mvect un 1 simple, looking, and 1 thought ma be the agent would wunt me for a rather sophisticated role. I wondered if I ought net te wear a checked silk that I'd bought nt u little shop en Broud Breud way. that looked elder and mere dieshcd up, and had a hat that matched It. But the aftiiiioen was pretty warm, and I finally eted for the daik blue one and white shoes and stockings and a big, Hupp lint trimmed with maliiie and spft white (lowers.
