ACTING WITH HUSBAND

A LONDON message announces that Michael Farmer, the present husband of Gloria Swanson, will play in films, and will be given a part in his famous wife’s next picture, “Perfect Understanding.” When Miss Swanson was at Cannes recently she sent the following cable

to her London manager:—“Stop all negotiations and please not worry any more about finding a leading man for my new British production, ‘Perfect Understanding,’ as we have found one right under our nose—namely, Michael Farmer. Just for fun he and some of his friends helped us out in the regatta scene. In looking at ‘rushes,’ ■we found Michael Farmer acted and looked great.” Gloria’s first husband, Wallace Beery, has always been connected with the films. Her second, Herbert Stomberg, is a film director, and her third, the Marquis de la Falaise, is still the representative of a prominent film concern. All three men were, and are still, well-known, without the Swanson influence to back them. It remains to be seen whether Mr. Fanner will turn out to be a real "find,” or whether he will achieve prominence In the film world merely as "Gloria Swanson’s Husband.” He is, by the way, a millionaire.

Pola Negri has announced that she intends to write a book dealing very frankly with her own life.
