Ail Important Part of the Toilette 

Few new ideas have ever met with such inscanc 
approval, such quick success as Kotex, 
Only three years since its introduction and yet 
women everywhere know and appreciate this 
wonderful sanitary pad 

Kotex forms a new habit, meets most exacting 
needs, solves a difficult laundry problem. Com- 
fortable, convenient, soft, light, cool, obtainable 
everywhere in stores that serve women, and easy to 
dispose of by following simple directions found in 
each box. 

Kotex is made from fine gauze and Cellucotton, 
said by scientists to be the most perfect absorbent 
material — much more absorbent than ordinary 
cotton. 

Kotex is instantly available. It constitutes a new 
convenience, a new economy.

THE MAGIC NAME IN ENTERTAINMENT 
THE WORLD OVER 



YOU whose lives are spent in one 
locality may have a dim idea of 
"the thousands of other communities 
keenly enjoying Paramount Pictures 
at the same moment. 

You who travel all over the United 
States have seen for yourselves that 
Paramount is always mysteriously there 
ahead of you! 

But world-travelers can add still 
another chapter to 
the story! 
They know that 




,'; FAMOUS P LAYERS- IAS KV CORPORATION 

ADOLPrf ZUICOR. f>m.lftnt 



Paramount' s fame is blazoned through 
every continent.. It is no surprise to 
them to see the familiar trademark 
on theatres in London, Paris, Algiers, 
Japan, or Australia. 

In some far eastern communities 
the name Paramount (perhaps the 
only English term they know), is a 
magic word because it means to 
them just what it means to you — 
"to-night's the 
^•jjjiiifr night: for a great 
==^3$?§7 show!"

Announcing 

A NEW MAGAZINE 

Screenland, Inc., publishers of Screenland Mag- 
azine, announce the first issue of a new national 
magazine— REAL LIFE STORIES. 

A high and worthy purpose actuates the publishers in their 
new venture. 

The new magazine, we believe, is destined, to be a very 
real and helpful force in the lives of its readers. 

It is to be a Book of Life. . Every story will be a heart 
story, a living, throbbing slice of Life. Our book will- be 
written by our readers," out of the fullness and richness of 
their own experiences. The. tawdry, the cheap, the flimsy, the 
unreal will have no place in REAL' LIFE STORIES. But eyery phase 
of real life as it is lived in these good, old wholesome United States of 
America will be mirrored there. ' " 



The First Issue 



From the very first number, we want 
you to feel its excellence, its sincerity, its 
dignity of purpose, and its absorbing in- 
terest. • 

Here are only a few of the titles, but 
they will give you a glimpse into the new 
book, sufficient, we are sure, to intrigue 
your interest: 



Mad Youth 



The poignant story of a child-wife, bored 
with the monotony of the farm and with 
her silent, good husband, steps blindly out 
upon the primrose path with a charming 
vagabond poet, who feeds her on lyrics 
and "tramps" the lovely countryside with 
her in a rattling Ford, until — 



Strange Seas 



Not all show-girls are tarnished gold ; not 
all well-bred men are chivalrous; but some 
show-girls are pure and many "gentlemen" 
are cads, according to the bitter experience 
of a soubrette who steps down from, the 
stage into marriage and grief: ' 

And the Gods Laughed 

An"0. Henry bit of brilliant satire upon 
a stage woman's craving for domesticity," 
told by a newspaper reporter who inter- 
views her. 



The Dangerous Age 

Every man of forty-five who has been 
serenely married for years meets a Rosa- 
lind ; and every Rosalind who works for a 
living meets her "Judge - Thompson" 
sooner or later. 

. - The Brick Wall 

AH the .delicate wistfulrtess.of the sor- 
row-ravaged face of her who wrote this 
story is here for you to see, together with' 
a poetic quality which we had believed to. 
be stifled with grief. 

Free Love v 

"I have heard a hundred variations of 
the gospel of free love, and every one of 
them from some man who : wanted to pos- 
sess me — temporarily — and to salve his con- 
science," said a self-sufficient and charming 
young business woman. "But I know a 
girl who beat the 'free love' game, and I 
believe she'll write her story for you." 
We found her in the little Western city 
where she now lives happily, and asked 
her to write the story — and she did. 

The Poppy Plant 

The story of a dead soldier's interven- 
tion between his worthless wife arid .his. 
own brother — a "come back" by way- of a 
poppy plant and an opium pipe. 



Watch for the first issue — fifteen- splen- 
didly told stories out of the lives of "real 
men and women. - -

The Huntress 
is Coming! 

SHE'S given the war-cry, this Indian maid on the war-path. 
She's after a man — and bound to get him if she has to take a 
scalp. So she ropes and ties him and carries him off to her 
wigwam, where he falls in love with her — to find that after all 
she's a delightful white maid brought up by the Indians. 
A delicious romance of love and adventure with thrills that will 
make the blood tingle. Don't miss this picture with the delight- 
ful Colleen Moore. 

And always watch for the First National trademark on the screen 
at your theatre. It is the sign of the ultimate in artistic and 
entertaining pictures.

hat makes tlie backbone of the 
nation conservative? How have the 
farmers and the inhabitants of small 
towns and cities kept tip with the most 
modern inventions? Why can tbe far- 
mer with justice say that the possession 
of a car is no sign of prosperity ? 
What is the gauge of the farmer's pros- 
perity? These are some of the ques- 
tions that were answered in the A T e\v 
York Times by Julius Rosemrald, ft 
President of Sears, Roebuck & Co., tlie i 
largest mail order house in existence, i 

For a long time the argument luis^i 
been put forth that the cities of tlie 
nation do not represent the life and the 
thought of America. They are the high 
lights, the sky rockets. Outside of them 
is the steady, slow grind of movement 
that marks our growth. To understand 
America, or any country for that mat- 
ter one must go to the farms, to the 
villages and towns. It is contact with 
these, with eight million American 
homes situated beyond the flare of the 
white lights, that makes Mr. Rosen wald 
an authority on one phase of national 
iife. 

"Publicity in the broadest sense," Mr. 
Rosenwald began, "is the power that 
gives direction to demand and supply. 
Magazines, movies and motors, the 
three all-important 'M's' in American 
life, enter into the publicity factor. 
Call it education if you will. The peo- 
ple we deal with", tlie people who read 
our catalogues and then enclose check 
for shipment of goods, the eight million 
homes representing front thirty to forty 
million individuals who depend upon us 
for the necessities and luxuries of life, 
live on farms, in scattered communities, 
in small towns that have not yet in some 
instances gained the' dignity of a mark 
on a map. And they read tlie maga- 
zines, they go to movies and they travel 
about in cars. 

''Go back ten or fifteen years and 
find out to what extent magazine circu- 
lation depended upon the home that was 
off the beaten track. The proposition 
was very small. Those were the days 
when a farmer and his wife would read-—| 
the newspaper that served as a wrap-n 
per for their supplies, and thought J! 
they were keeping up with the pace of.v 
the world if it happened to be only a"_ 
week old. Those days are past. Today 
almost every home is on the subscrip- 
tion list of some national publication. 
Big business followed in the tracks of 
the mail order house and found that 
the stake was not a negligible one.

magazine and newspaper business — dis-

metropolitan life than from one living 1 
in the heart of publication competition. 
Big- business, in a word, made a drive 
for the small town reader. That drive 
is still continuing. The mail pouches 
are full of magazines that arc dropped 
on every rural and small-town doorstep, 
and they are getting fuller every day. 

Hoto the Movies Educate 

£\r the same time that the litera- 
ture of the country made its inroad 
into the life of the hitherto secluded 
family, the movie took its place as an 
educational factor in the community. 
I am considering education from the 
point of view of publicity, from the 
point of view, if you please, of the 
merchant who believes that customers 
need to be educated to their wants. It 
is not a narrow point of view. Raising 
standards of living has long been the 
goal of the educator. That the mer- 
chant profits by this is merely a fortu- 
nate corollary. 

"Take the farmer's wife or the small 
town housekeeper who goes to the 
movie show to see the latest episode iu 
the Perils of the Pure. The perils mean 
something to her, and so does the pur- 
ity, but the things that make as great 
an impression are the things the her- 
oine wears and the furnishings of the 
home she lives in. To the movie patron 
they are the essence of social lite and 
form. Imitation is the greatest princi- 
ple in the theory of education; and 
hope springs eternal in the human 
breast. When the farmer's wife or the 
small town housekeeper conies home, 
she looks over her wardrobe, she looks 
around her house, she draws compari- 
sons and she makes mental reserva- 
tions. It is on the strength of these 
reservations that our business depends, 
to a great extent."

The Most Daring Boole 
Ever Written! 



Elinor Glyn, famous author of "Three Weeks," has written an 
amazing book that should be read by every man and woman 
— married or single. "The Philosophy of Love" is not a novel 
— it is a penetrating searchlight fearlessly turned on the most 
intimate relations of men and women. Read below how you can 
get this daring book at our risk — without advancing a penny. 



TJ17ILL you marry the man 
"" you love, or will you take 
the one you can get? 

If a husband stops loving lus 
wife, or becomes infatuated with 
another woman, who is to blame 
— the husband, the wife, or the 
"other woman?" 

Wil I y ou win th e gi rl you want, 
or will Fate select your Mate? 

Should a bride tell her husband 
what happened at seventeen? 

Will you be able to hold the 
love of the one you cherish — or 
willyourmarriageendindivorce? 

Do you know how to makepeople like you? 

IF you can answer the above questions — 
if you know all there is to know about 
winning a woman's heart or holding a 
man's affections — you don't need "The 
Philosophy of Love." But if you are in 
doubt — if you don't know just how to 
handle your husband, or satisfy your wife, 
or win the devotion of the one you care 
for — then you must get this -wonderful 
book. You can't afford to take chances 
with your happiness. 

What Do YOU Know 
About Love? 

DO you know how to win the one you 
love? Do you know why husbands, 
with devoted, virtuous wives, often be- 
come secret slaves to creatures of another 
"world." — and how to prevent it? Why do 
some men antagonize worn en, finding them- 
selves beating against a stone wall in affairs 
of love? When is it dangerous to disregard 
convention? Do you know how to curb a 
headstrong man, or are you the victim of 
men's whims?

The Oracle of Love" a f ter ma rriage— and how can 
the wife prevent it? Do you know how to 
make marriage a perpetual honeymoon? 
In "The Philosophy of Love," Elinor 
Glyn courageously solves the most vital 
problems of love and marriage. She places a 
magnifying glass unflinchingly on the most 
intimate relations of men and women. No 
detail, no matter how avoided by others, 
is spared. She warns you gravely, she sug- 
gests wisely, she explains fully. 

"The Philosophy of Love" is one of the 
most daring books ever written. It had 
to be. A book of this type, to be of real 
value, could not mince words. Every prob- 
lem had to be faced with utter honesty, 
deep sincerity, and resolute courage. But 
while Madame Glyn calls a spade a spade 
— while she deals with strong emotions 
and passions in her frank, fearless man- 
ner — she nevertheless handles her subject 
so tenderly and sacredly that the book 
can safely be read by any man or woman. 
In fact, anyone over eighteen should be 
compelled to read ; "The Philosophy of 
Love"; for, while ignorance may some- 
times be bliss, it is folly of the most danger- 
ous sort to be ignorant of the problems of 
love and marriage. As one mother wrote us: 
"I wish I had read this book when I was a 
young girl — it would have saved me a lot 
of misery and suffering. " 

Certain sliallow-minded persons may 
condemn "The Philosophy of Love." Any- 
thing of such an unusual character generally 
is. But Madame Glyn is content to rest her 
world wide reputation on this book — the 
greatestmasterpicceofloveeverattempted!

JL-/verv human being who is deposited on this earth, 
ior one reason or another, passes through two stages before 
he (or, as it frequently happens, she) attains full growth. 
The first stage is Infancy. The second is known as 'the 
romantic age." 

The symptoms of the romantic age in the female of the 
species are these: 

Reading and writing poetry. 

Pasting pictures of Ramon Navarro on the mirror. 

Gazing at the moon. 

Wishing that the days of chivalry would come back. 

Writing fan letters to handsome actors. 

Posing for photographs with a rose held between 

the teeth. 
Practising Greek dances on the lawn. 
The symptoms evinced by the male element are almost 
parallel : 







Stars, once content zzith 
st>orl shirts and evening 
dress, are noiu going in 
for jerkins, suits of 
armour, doublets and 
other antiquated articles

Writing fan letters to comely ingenues. 

Posing for photographs with Bill Hart expression

deed, they are all part of the natural course of events, ..

Noiv Comes the Romantic Age 

A he fact that the movies are fundamentally human is 
proven by their career. They passed through an infancy 
that was as celebrated and profitable as their own Jackie 
Coogan s, and as long as Mary Miles Minter's; now they 
have entered upon the romantic age 

Today, the screen is all littered up with love (in the old 
fashioned sense- of the word.) Stars who, four years ago, 
were content to appear in immaculate evening dress, sport 
shirts or natty cowboy togs are now going in for jerkins, 
suits of armor; doublets, crinolines and other antiquated arti- 
cles of regalia. 

Villains who once were willing tc be killed with blank 
cartridges, are now being punctured with lances, rapiers and 
dirks Fencing instructors m Los Angeles and vicinity are 
growing opulent and fat. • . • 

Chins that were once as smooth as an oil stock promoter 
are now hidden behind Van Dyke beards. The Hollywood 
barbers are starving. 

It is indeed a strange situation, in a world that is suffic- 
iently strange to begin with. 

How, you may ask (and probably won't), did it all happen? 



he romantic age on the screen 
started on a chill December after- 
noon in 1920, at the Capital Theatre 
on the desert isle of Manhattan. 
The occasion was the first film to 
be imported from Germany since 
the invasion of Belgium in 1914. 
The picture was "Passion" — a cos- 
tume drama if there ever was one. 

When Passion — or Du Barry, 
as it was originally called — 
reached the unfriendly shores of 
these United States, it confronted 
a situation difficult enough to scare 
off the most determined invader. 
As the shortage of bananas had 
not become acute at that time, the 
popular song of the moment was, 
"Yes, We Want No Costume 
Pictures." 

Romantic dramas, said the wise- 
ones of the movie industry, were 
as out of date as yesterday's shave. 
Any producer who dared to suggest 
that he would like to make a pic- 
ture with scenes laid in the good 
old days of 1911 — or previous — was 
told to buy a one way ticket to 
Samoa and take time to think it 
over. 
The film rights to old novels were in the same 
Jormant condition with the proverbial Ford Serv- 
ice Station in Jerusalem:; r - ■■••.■ 

Shaking Off the Cocoon 

Jtassion", however, surprised everyone (including its 
sponsors) by making a big hit It was bought on a basis of 
German marks, but it was sold to the local public for 100 
per cent. American dollars. • 

Moreover, it made a profound impression on the Holly- 
wood aristocracy. Movie people decided that they would 
like to direct like Ernst Lubitsch and act like Pola Negri. 
When that idea had been firmly implanted in their minds, 
the silent drama started to shake off the cocoon that had 
stifled it and emerged from its infancy. 

The results of this tremendous upheaval have been 
startling. 

Aside from these incidental aspects of the situation that I 
have mentioned above — the opulent fencing masters, the im- 
poverished barbers, etc. — there have been many revolution- 
ary changes on the screen. What is more, the public has 
accepted them.

THIS 

WASTE? 



By 
HELEN STARR 



J[/ orrest Halsey, the playwright, wrote a story with a 
motion picture angle. He offered it to a big film producer, 
who put a ridiculously low price on it. 

"Originals, they are no goot," said the big producer. 
"But your name, it might sell it. How about fife hunderd 
dollars, nicht?" 

"Nicht," said Halsey decidedly, and put his story on the 
shelf. A month later he wrote a play around the plot, and 
secured a brief Broadway run for it. But after that it 
faltered and died, as so many Broadway plays do, and the 
storehouse received it. 

But an agent, who knew the psychological processes of 
big film producers, asked to be allowed to sell screen rights 
for the play. He named a figure he could get for it — 
twenty times what the first offer had been. Halsey laughed 
at him but told him to go ahead. 




One shot of the fantastic set showing the ancient city of Bag- 
dad, built for Douglas Fairbank's n'eiv photoplay, "The Thief 
of Bagdad." One and a half acres of concrete forms the basis 
of the structure. 

Within thirty days the agent came to Halsey and asked 

if lie would accept a check for $20,000 for the screen rights 

to his story. The offer was from the same producer who 

had originally offered him $500. When Halsey came out 

■ of his delirium, he accepted on the spot. 

The reason for the enormous increase? Simply that the 
scenario was no longer an "original" ; it had had a stage 
showing. And although the publicity value as far as the 
country as a whole is concerned to the producer was worth 
about a thin dime, yet he was impressed by it to the tune 
of $20,000.

will swear to the last 
statement. 

A certain street in 
Hollywood has cost 
the Fox studio thou- 
sands of dollars. The 

Fox studio rambles along on either side of Western Ave- 
nue — the dramatic lot on one side and "the comedy lot on 
the other. Every day, lumber and "props" and lights have 
to be carted across the street, laboriously engineered over 
the heavy flow of traffic. When the studio \vas built; West- 
ern Avenue was a little-frequented street. Nobody foresaw 
that it would become the artery of traffic that' it now is. 
Nobody foresaw that so much time — and time is money 
in picture-making — would be wasted, just in crossing that 
street. 

Fox has purchased 450 acres of land out in Westwood, 
midway between Hollywood and the ocean, for a new

studio. The Fox heads figure that it is cheaper for them 
to buy new land and move their huge plant, than to continue 
carting materials over expensive Western Avenue. And the 
new studio will not be separated by any publicthoroughfare ! 
The studio will have, its own private lake and its own 
' railroad track. It is tired of paying from $50 to $100 an 
hour to the railroads, for the privilege of using their trains 
for a few shots. Now some retired,' decrepit engineer will, 
run one ancient locomotive up and down a studio track 
and enjoy the comfort of his pension days. 



Real Jezvcls for Atmosphere 

II he passion for realism has carried 
many a director to lengths that gave his 
producer acute agony in the region of the 
pocket nerve. Consider the director who 
hired some $400,000 worth of diamonds 
from Tiffany for a ball-room scene at an 
exorbitant rental, when the five-and-ten 
cent store variety screen exactly as well. 

Consider, too, the directors who "write 
in" location trips in the quest for pleasure. 

Locations cost money. To move a whole 
company of actors, technical people and 
live stock counts up tremendously. One 
shudders to contemplate the cost of the 
location trips entailed in The Covered 
ll'agon — but in that case the cost was 
certainly justified by the results. 

More and more, however, directors are 

passing up locations in favor of studio 

se t s — or rather, the cost experts are doing 

it for them. Studio carpenters and "prop" 

men are becoming so clever that they can 

manufacture a desert that looks more like

RODOLPH YALENTINO and MARRIAGE 

By Anna Vrophater 



Y V HEX Rodolph Valentino married Winifred 
Hudnut, the opinion of nine-tenths of the women in the 
United States was that she was the luckiest girl in the 
world. The opinion of the submerged one-tenth was that 
>ht might have done better had she married the Prince of 
Wales. 

And the unanimous opinion of the men who had seen 
the Valentino craze break hearts, homes and engagements 
was that the marriage wouldn't last two months. For every- 
one with any common sense knows that a crazy, dancing 
foreigner is a bad choice for a husband and that a girl who 
calls herself Nat- 
acha Rambova and 
goes in for Rus- 
sian dancing does- 
n't measure up to 
the requirements 
jf the ideal wife. 
Just a couple of 
crazy love Bol- 
sheviks, that's all.

other's jokes. The first sign of domestic trouble comes 
when the husband springs a good one and the wife merely 
answers with a dirty look. The Valentinos haven't come to 
that. 

Of course, just because a movie star and his wife have 
lived together more than a year in peace is no sign that 
they will be celebrating their golden wedding. But you 
ought to give them credit for breaking all records established 
by the Upper Park Avenue set where marriage doesn't last 
as long as the lease on the apartment.

the luckiest girl in the world if you married a man who 
owed $80,000? Would you think you were in for a life of 
bliss if your husband had no position and stood small chance

you stood on the top of the world if your husband were

No, you wouldn't. Very likely you would go home to

Mrs. Valentino, naturally enough* won't admit that she 
wasn't the luckiest girl in the world. But she will admit

million dollars. 

Too much publicity about her marriage has made her

ack in the days when we were young and in- 
nocent and never went to the movies, all little girls 
and boys thought that an envelope was something 
you sent a letter in and that a combination was a 
salad made of cucumbers and tomatoes. 

Also it was polite to refer to lingerie as "unmen- 
tionables," although, strictly speaking, it should have 
been "unpronounceables." 

It was generally conceded that you couldn't beat 
a good, high-necked and long-sleeved flannelette 
nightgown for durability and warmth. You were 
also supposed to be risking a bad case of pneumonia 
or a severe attack of quinsy sorethroat when you 
ventured forth in less than two flannel petticoats. 
Nightgowns or petticoats with ribbons on them were 
thought to be an infallible sign of a wayward dis- 
position and a tendency for the primrose path. 

The first daring pioneers who ventured into pink 
crepe de chine were terribly talked about when 
the neighbors sighted the filmy garments on the 
clothesline. Clergymen were immediately reminded 
of the Fall of Rome. Nowadays the girls who 
wears pink crepe de chine is considered just too 
naive and unsophisticated for words.

flannelette factory 
after another has gone 
out of business. 
Everytime Gloria 
Swanson appears in a 
new picture, the mar- 
ket price of flannel- 
ette drops ten points 
and the price of Geor- 
ette crepe and chiffon 
soars to the skies. 

Such is the terrible 
georgette menace of 
the screen that out in 
Minnesota where the 
thermometer falls to 
thirty degrees below 
in Winter, the girls 
wear the local imita- 
tions of the same gar-

course, the stars' wear lovely lingerie in the interest of art. 
How else, in fact, are you going to portray ladies with 
chiffon souls? If the scenario writer demands that you be 
a daughter of the idle rich, how better to register luxury 
than by a bit of lingerie that won't stand the strain of the 
old family washboard.

Rainbow Lingerie 



xperts agree that pink lingerie is only worn by women 
with no imagination. A trip through the studios when the 
boudoir, sets are disclosed to sight-seers proves that the 
lingerie of the stars comes in 
all the colors of the rainbow. 
Gloria Swanson, for : in- 
stance, has darkish red hair 
and green-gray-blue eyes. On 
or off the screen she seldom 
wears emphatic shades; she 
likes pastel hues. When it 
comes to lingerie her favorite 
colors are green and pale vel- 



dt. Every time Gloria Swanson appears 

in a new picture, the market price of 

flannelette drops 10 points.

gee in Tin Gilded Cage? Of course you do, even if you 
have forgotten the plot of the picture. It was green chiffon 
with an over-drapery of black lace worn over georgette 
lingerie. Or do you remember the still more dashing 
lingerie in His American Wife? It consisted of black 
chiffon, with sleeves two yards wide. And there was an- 
other negligee of pale citron yellow, embroidered with white 
beads and trimmed with ermine tails. Try that at home on 

your sewing machine. 

In Bluebeard's Eighth

winter underwear season. She 
will show you the correct styles

'AN a girl be herself with the world looking 
on? How can a screen star be sure she isn't 
kidding herself as well as her audience? When, 
in other words, to get right down to cases, does 
Gloria Swanson stop doing her stuff and begin 
being Gloria? 

The answers to these questions will not be 
found here. The Swanson Clubs of the coun- 
try might hold a national convention and decide 
it once and for all, except that it's really imma- 
terial to them as long as Gloria wears a new 
coiffure in every picture. . 

So far, Miss Swanson has risen to the occa- 
sion. . And in Zasa she does it again. Accord- 
ing to the records, Zasa was French, and as 
far as we know, never wintered in the Fijis. 
With superb disregard, Gloria, or Gloria's hair- 
dresser, has given Zasa, for some of her big 
scenes, a wondrous wig with a sparkling spangle 
suspended from each curl. Nazimova wore some- 
thing like it in "Salome." It's an Aubrey Beards- 
ley nightmare. Gloria glittered — diamond "Z's" 
around her neck, "Z's" in spangles on her arms, 
"Z" patches on chin and cheeks. There were 
no two ways about it — she was playing Zasa.

It was one of those massive Allan Dwan

lovely young things, presumably from the 
New Amsterdam, stood about waiting to be 
called. 

Gloria, ensconced in the stellar chair, was 
surrounded by visitors — Fay Bainter, from the 
stage; a South American official's spouse, 
breathing rather heavily ; miscellaneous admir- 
ers. Hands on hips, La Swanson rose and 
confronted Madame from Buenos Aires — or 
was it Chile? 

Gloria has no vague voice. It is snappy 
Chicago-ese, untroubled by acquired inflec- 
tions. Madame's daughter wished to go into 
the movies. Her father wouldn't hear of it. 

But — ''Oh, mother," pleaded daughter, 
"please let me try." 

"That," nodded Gloria, "is just what I said 
to my mother." 

"Really," cried the relieved lady, "isn't that 
wonderful ?" 

The substantial South American's permanent - 
rave was kindly but firmly succeeded by an 
Ohio censor. Zaza had little in common with 
him. I am sure it was not his fault.

"Possibly a reaction has set in. I do not see very many

Another Broken Blossom 

.atherine McDonald, the favorite of Former President 
Wilson, Former Husband Malcolm Strauss, and Current 
Husband Charles Johnson, is another broken blossom when 
it conies to living up to her publicity. Let me hasten to 
explain — not in the line of beauty. She's really lovely. But 
about those wondrous advertisements, claiming she got that 
way by using X's cold cream, Y's powder, and Z's corn 
cure.

Katherine is a Scotswoman, who scorns expensive emol- 
lients and perfumes, and goes in for a certain five cent 
brand of soap, and plenty of city water. She has a marcel 
only when the script calls for one, but then she gets only 
$50,000 a picture. 

When Katherine dies she can tell St. Peter the last num- 
ber in her savings.

I know of one hopeful lady interviewer who came to 
Hollywood, determined not to have her cherished fancies

Time was when a perfect 
profile or a baby stare meant a 
iVell nigh sure road to cellu- 
loid stardom. Those days have 
gone forever. The public is 
actually demanding that actors 
act! 

Not so long ago, the Holly-

party and invited many guests, 
at five dollars a head. To en- 
tertain the guests, the press 
agents trotted out their prettiest 
stars of both sexes. And after 
Herbert Rawlinson and Anita 
Stewart and William Desmond 
and Pauline Garon and J. 
Warren Kerrigan had smiled 
and dimpled over the foot- 
lights, who do you suppose 
carried off the greatest round 
of applause? 

Ernest Torrence, the demon 
"heavy" of Tol'able David and 
the memorable scout of The 
Covered Wagon. 

And the cheers that greeted 
Torrence symbolized the new 
public taste. W.hich un- 
doubtedly accounts for the fre-

actors have "stolen the picture"

be he hero, villain or 'comic relief,' is the man for our 
money. 

To "steal a picture,'' in Hollywood parlance, is to carry 
off acting honors away from the star. Such dramatic 
larceny is the end and aim of every actor that is worth 
his salt. But the star could be arrested and put in 
jail for life for what he thinks of the proceeding! 




That Robber Torrcncc 



E 



rxest Torrence is a notorious bandit, when it 
conies to stealing a scene right out from under a 
star's nose. Remember how he stood out as ' the 
central figure in The Covered Wagon ? He wasn't 
supposed to. He was only a scout, a subordinate 
character. He wasn't pretty and he hadn't shaved for 
weeks. And as for the '"sex appeal" that the ex- 
hibitors swear by, he had about as much as Bull Mon- 
tana. But every spectator that saw the picture went 
home to tell about the old plainsman who got so de- 
liriously drunk, and perhaps quite forgot to mention 
anything about the two leading characters, Lois Wilson 
and J. Warren Kerrigan. Quite right, too. Lois Wil- 
son was sweet and gentle, but she missed the chance of 
a life-time to act, and Kerrigan wore what was appar- 
ently a self-cleaning, white doe-skin suit and looked as 
pretty as a new red wagon, but that was 
all. The real actors in the picture were 
Torrence. Tully Marshall and the little 
chap who "chawed tobaccer" so manfully. 

But, speaking of Torrence. reminds us 
of his first success. He snapped into 
fame with his unregenerate bad man of 
Tol'able David, that classic of the Vir- 
ginia hills in which Richard Barthelmess 
starred. Torrence didn't run away with 
Tol'able David, Barthelmess is too able 
an actor for that. But he did put himself 
across with a smash.

wen bandits of the silver-

allace Beery had wronged innocent 
young damsels under the blistering Kliegs 
for many years, before Douglas Fair- 
banks saw that he was something more 
than a "heavy." So it was a delightful 
surprise to the public to view Beery's 
superb characterization of the roystering

Robin Hood. In fact, he was so good that, if 
rumor is true, as occasionally it is, Douglas 
sharpened up the scissors and operated on that 
film in the privacy of the cutting room. It's all 
very well to have one's supporting actors good, 
but it's not necessary to have them too good, 
you understand, Mawruss ! 

A Hebrew Mother Machree 

OU saw Humorcsqucf Of course. Every- 
body did, and loved it. But did you realize that 
one of the most flagrant instances of grand 
larceny was being enacted before your eyes ? 
Vera Gordon was happily engaged in stealing the 
picture right away from the outraged Alma 
Rubens. And she did such a good job of it that 
the exhibitors put her name up in electric lights 
instead of Alma's. 

The success of Huinoresquc precipitated upon 
us the flood of "mother" pictures. Up to this 
time, screen mothers had been all very well as 
atmosphere, handy to have around and all that, 
but they mustn't get under foot when the young 
lovers got into action. Vera Gordon showed 
them that a mother's place is right in the spot- 
light. 

Walter Long Did It, Too 

tealing a picture away from such a popular 
actor as the late Wallace Reid was quite a feat, 
but Walter Long accomplished it. It was in The 
Dictator. Walter Long, as the hard-boiled taxi- 
driver who followed Reid clear to one of the 
banana republics to collect the money the latter 
owed him, proved himself to be a comedian 
utterly wasted as a "heavy." The scene where 
he was arrested by a company of militia, marched 
up against a wall to be shot, at the 
last minute reprieved and all un- 
conscious of his fate, remarked to 
the staggered soldiers : "Well, so 
long, you fellers. When I come 
back, I'll drill you some more," 
stands out as one of the funniest 
scenes the writer has ever giggled 
over. 

There was no danger of Long's 
name being put up in electric lights 
instead of Reid's. Wally was too 
universally beloved for that. But 
he did get a great deal of comment, 
both from the press and the public. 
We would like to see more of Walter 
Long in comedy roles.

W IIAT do y° u think of this issue of Screenland? 

In it you will find a number of writers new to Screen- 
land. 

Delight Evans, for instance. 
One of the cleverest — and youngest 
—writers in the whole field of 
motion pictures. 

Robert E. Sherwood, associate 
editor of Life and motion picture 
editor of The New York Herald. 

Harriette Underbill, motion pic- 
ture editor of The New York Tri-

Times and one of the best informed 
authorities on motion pictures in 
the very capitol of picturedom.

unusual writer on the silent drama 
and the people behind the screen.

You can count upon frank and unbiased criticisms from 
Mr. Smith. Better turn now to his review of the past 
• screen vear in this issue. 



What are the Ten Best 
Pictures Ever Made ? 

SCREENLAND is interested in 
finding out the ten best motion 
picture plays ever made. 

To secure an accurate idea of the 
real ten milestones of the silver- 
sheet, SCREENLAND has asked 
the foremost authorities in motion 
pictures in America to name their 
ideal list. 



The next issue of SCREEN- 
LAND will present the results of 
this canvass — together, with a tabu- 
lated list of the ten photoplays re- 
ceiving the most votes. 



JL hese writers will continue to 

contribute to Screenland. And— 

to this list — will be added the best 

contributors on motion picture 

topics in America. Such writers as Helen Starr, Alma 

Whitaker and Eunice Marshall will continue to contribute 

to Screenland. 

Qcreenland is to be the young magazine of the screen — 
fearless and unafraid, 
untrammeled by prece- 
dent and radical in its 
ideas about the world of 
celluloid. With the best 
writers in all filmdom 
contributing to its col- 
umns, Screenland will 
be the one magazine of 
personality in the entire 
field of motion picture 
magazines. 

Ocreenland poin's 
with especial pride to its 
department of reviews, 
conducted by Frederick 
James Smith, the leading 
authority on the cinema 
in America today. Mr. 
Smith, who is also the 
editor of Screenland, 
shaping its policies, was 

i managing editor of 



Watch the November issue! 



JL ICTORIALLY SCREENLAND will 

be the most attractive magazine of 
the films. The foremost photo- 
graphers in this country are now 
taking pictures exclusively for its 
pages. 

T 

•Jl- ins month you will find such 
distinguished art contributors as 
Everett Shinn, John Held, Jr., and 
Wynn among the pages of Screen- 
land. The next issue will find 
such famous artists as Oscar Fred- 
erick Howard and Ray Van Buren 
added to the list. 

*3 creenland's covers stand alone. 
The greatest cover artist in Ameri- 
ca is making them — Rolf Arm- 
strong. 



JLn brief, the new Screenland 
will be built upon the theory that 
the motion picture needs a magazine of youth. The field is 
crowded with Merton magazines, with their purring, bla-a-a 
interviews and cheese-cake criticisms. Screenland be- 
lieves that the time has come for a magazine to treat of 
the screen lightly, through the eyes of youth. 



We Want YOU To 
Write For Screenland 

SCREENLAND realizes that it must be in direct 
touch with its readers. 

It must have the pulse of the public. 

To reflect this accurately, SCREENLAND wants 
you to write for its columns. 

Beginning with an early issue, SCREENLAND 
will conduct a department consisting of the best 
contributions of its readers. Every contributor will 
be paid for his work — according to the importance 
of the contribution and its individual merit. 

But contributions must be interesting and they 
must be constructive — besides having ideas. Don't 
be afraid to say what you think about the screen 
and its players — in your own way. 

Address your letters to THE EDITOR'S LET- 
TER BOX, SCREENLAND, 119 West 40th Street, 
New York City. 



-UL here will be nothing 
old, antiquated or pond- 
erous about the new 
Screenland. It will be 
a live magazine of per- 
sonality dealing with 
live personalities in the 
one walk of life, in 
which the romantic lure 
of the gypsy still re- 
mains. 



luove all, Screenland 
will strive for humor. 
It will direct its appeal 
to the sophisticated. It 
will be vigorous, young 
and unafraid of any-

Advice to Mothers 



Li, mothers whose sons are away from home should 
keep a lamp burning; in the window. On Christmas Eve, a 
candle should be substituted. The mother should arrange, 
on this holiday, to be seated at the old organ singing. When 
the door opens she should not turn — it might be only Santa 
Claus. But at the word "Mother" she should allow her 
hands to fall slowly from the keys, and should respond, "My 
son." White hair, a hurt expression, and a skirt which 
sags slightly should always be worn. 

Young mothers should neglect their kiddie for Society 
until the little one falls ill and cries feverishly for "Mummy." 
.She should then come running home in her evening gown 
and kneel beside the little bed to gather baby in her arms 
and murmur, "I'll never, never leave you again." At these 
words the little fellow is restored to perfect health and con- 
fidence and pats Mummy's cheek with his hand. This is 
Mummy's cue to break down and have a real good cry.

time, she should give an ecstatic back kick, clutching her 
sweetheart by his coat lapels. The proposal should take 
place in a roadster parked in a flowery lane, in an old 
fashioned garden, or in the conservatory. One of the 
important points in any courtship is the chase from tree 
to tree. Girl should glance coyly back over her shoulder, 
and when she has dodged the tenth tree she should allow 
him to catch up with her and kiss her hands. This scene 
is played only by engaged couples. ;

Conduct for Kiddies 



here are two kinds — rich kiddies and poor kiddies. Tt is 
the rich kiddie's duty to climb out of his bed in the 
nursery while nurse is asleep, and with his little white wooly 
lamb interrupt the big domestic scene down in the drawing 
room. He should take mama's hand and papa's hand and drag 
them together, smiling up at them through his curls. This 
invariably results in a reconciliation and kiddie being bounced 
on daddy's shoulder. The poor kiddie is an orphan ; but he 
should learn to cry prettily and the Little Angel of the 
Slums will take him home with her and 
he will soon be a rich kiddie himself.

d, Any one who desires to behave properly 
in pictures should heed these words of 
advice. The screen has eslablished its 
own code of morals and manners, and 
to succeed in its best society certain rules 
and regulations must be observed. 



Perfect Behavior at Orgies 

Jjtrictly speaking, this is impossible. By perfect we mean, of 
course, correct. Flowers will be scattered and paper caps dis- 
tributed. Sometimes a swimming pool is provided for the guests. 
Care should be taken not to drink champagne from a slipper. Up- 
to-date orgies have a reigning beauty appear from a floral center- 
piece and dance. The. male guests should then toss jewels at her. 
An air of impressive hilarity must be obtained at any cost. To gain 
this effect it is generally necessary for all guests to fall gracefully 
into reclining attitudes. Otherwise your audiences might not guess 
that the orgy has been a huge success. 

Hints for Big Business Men 




ractice is required to give just the right touch to the examina- 
tion of the ticker tape, the alighting from your motor, the chewing 
of cigars, and presiding at directors' meetings. Perhaps even more 
difficult is the scene at your desk when you sit there with 
bowed head groaning, "My God, I'm ruined." The pace up 
and down the office is a good thing to remember. It should 
be done slowly, one hand behind the back, the other toying 
with pince-nez. The pince-nez is also employed to ad- 
vantage^ in a conference — tapping the chin with it has been 
known to change the entire course of events in The Street. 
Don't worry about your home life. You can always be

ribsolutely, Air. Kjallagher ! 
Positively, Air. ohean! 

By HARRIETTE UNDERHILL 

v v henever anyone succeeds at anything;, whether it 
be crocheting- doilies, playing- the piano, shooting a help- 
meet or reciting verse some perspicacious person conceives 
the idea of putting him or her in motion pictures. It" you 
are a him it is desirable that in addition to your other 
qualification you have straight shiny black hair. If you 
are a her it will help a lot if you have wavy blonde hair. 
But these are not absolutely necessary. The real thing is 
to have succeeded at something. 

Now there's Gallagher and Shean. To New Yorkers 
that needs no addendum. "You're a celebrity, Mr. Galla- 
gher, you're another, Mr. Shean," to put it in the well 
known rhythm which has made this pair famous. Mr. 
Gallagher and Mr. Shean have succeeded in making people 
laugh immediately at their verses which they chant each 
night at the Ziegfeld Follies. Whereupon Mr. William 
Fox immediately decided that they would be great on the 
screen. Whether he is right or wrong remains to be seen 
but at any rate the two versifiers are now hard at work 
in a studio built on top of one of Manhattan's tallest sky- 
scrapers. 

"Around the Town" 

W E visited them there the other morning and watched 
them making their first picture which is going to be called 
Around the Town with Gallagher and Shean. For once 
the title of a movie will bear some relation to the picture 
itself. There is nothing so very original in Around the 
Town with Gallagher and Shean, but it is explicit. 

And from what we saw of the shooting, and from what 
we know of the plot, the picture ought to be amusing and 
probably a lot of people will go to see what Gallagher and 
Shean are like who would not otherwise go to see what the 

picture was like. That is why it 
is good businessto become famous 
in almost any line. Somebody is 
sure to realize that the rest of 
the world would like to know how 
you look and will satisfy their 
curiosity if given a chance to look 
you over on the screen.' Then 
that somebody will offer you a job 
in the movies. 



Being a celebrity, Mr. Gallagher, 
along with his partner, Mr. Shean. 
has invaded the screen. Why? 
because he's a celebrity. ■ The films 
never reason why. . . . 



I 



47 



XjSH Mr. Gallagher, oh Mr. Gallagher, 
Do you like to work in pictures here all day?" 

'•Well, I think I'll like it fine, 
for fin swinging right in line, 
And I feel J 'in getting Better Day by Day." 

"Oh Mr. Shean, oh Mr. Shcan, 
You're a star, yourself, if you know what zee mean; 
And if Gallagher's half as good 
You'll be where we said you would." 

"In the ash can, A£r. Gallagher. 7 " 

"In the As/or, Mr. Shean!" 



For years Mr. Gallagher and Mr. Shean worked side by 
side or doing a "single" in vaudeville. If we remember 
correctly they once told us that their average wage in those 
times was $40 a week. Now they must be making 100 
times as much as that for not only have screen magnates 
realized their worth but they have drawn a token of ap- 
preciation from a newspaper magnate, also, in the form of 
a nice weekly stipend for allowing the story of their lives 
to be published or something like that. "Sweet are the 
uses of" — prosperity, with apologies to Mr. Shakespeare. 

Working Atop a Skyscraper 

r. Gallagiiku and Mr. Shean are nice, friendly people 
who seem as pleased as children over the good fortune 
which has come to them. We found them up on top of 
this skyscraper, and the director, the camera man, the assis- 
tant camera man and the assistant director all rushed forward 
with the caution, "Don't tell anyone where we are working, 
it's an absolute secret." 

"But why must you work on top of the — of a building 
like this? Couldn't you take these scenes in a studio?" 

"That's the idea, you see," replied Mr. Gallagher. 

"We are the world's greatest detectives," added Mr. 
Shean. 

"And our office is supposed to be in a secret place high 
up in the clouds," said Mr. Gallagher. 

"As it really is." added Harriette Underbill. For we 
were puffing from the last climb up two flights of stairs 
and one flight of ladder. The elevator dumps you out at 
the twenty-sixth floor and that's two floors below the roof. 
The office of the world's greatest detectives is built up still 
higher and is reached by a secret ladder. We do not care 
much for climbing and there would be even more room at 
the top than there is reputed to be now, if everybody was 
like us. We do not care much for mornings, either, and 
anyone who elects to be interviewed by us before 1 p. m. 
must take the consequences. 

"You see by staging our office scenes up on top of the — 
a skyscraper, we get the whole of New York for a back 
drop," said Mr. Shean. 

"But don't you know that in that way you are taking 
all the joy out of the life of the property man?" we said 
severely. "He loves to furnish painted drops showing the 
Singer Building and Trinity Church and he has a passion 
tor designing Brooklyn Bridges a yard long and Leviathans 
which may be wrecked in a bath tub full of rocks and 
breakers." {Continued on Page 98)

polis mil be the real thing in the way

Hidden Wedding Rings 

By Grace Kingsley 

Film brides Have Been Vutting Mufflers on Their Sledding Bells 






NTH, recently, the best film circles considered it highly 
disastrous to combine a Career and Cupid — publicly. One's 
public must be considered, you know. 

That is, this has been the case right up to the present 
moment. To be sure, it is fashionable to be married by 
ring and book, if you can have the ceremony performed up 
at "Pickfair," for instance as Marjory Daw and Eddie 
Sutherland. And since Rodolph Valentino owned up to 
his marriages without any loss in pop- 
ularity, others are beguiling to 'fess 
up about their nuptial adventurings. 
So little by little, coyly and with bash- 
ful blushes the brides and grooms are 
brushing the cobwebs off their wedding 
rings. 



PANEL 

Louise Fazenda, winner of the pric 

for the loncj time secret marriage. 



But in the old days, you would have thought there was 
something disgraceful in being married, the way these pic- 
ture gels denied their marriages. 

Louise Could Keep a Secret! 

robably the prize long-term secret marriage of the 
bunch is that of Louise Fazenda. And yet they say a 
woman can't keep a secret ! 

Louise Fazenda became a blushing 
bride some six years ago, when she 
ran off to Santa Ana .and became the 
wife of Noel Smith, a comedy 
director,-

F. 



Francis MacDonald Isn't Telling. 



RANCIS McDonald is another screen person who owns 
a hidden wedding ring. He is really a very home loving 
man, even if he does play villains on the screen. Once 
upon a time he was married to Mae Busch. But Mae and 
he parted after about two weeks. McDonald went off a 
few weeks ago, and married Belle Roscoe. the divorced wife 
of Albert Roscoe, but somehow the fact never reached the 
public. Their romance began only a few months ago, though 
the two have been friends for a long time. 

Arc You Deceiving Us, Helen? 

1 here are those who say that Helen Ferguson and Wil- 
liam Russell have a couple of wedding rings that haven't 
been advertised. Bill and Helen have been even as Joan 
and Darby for faithfulness for lo, these many moons. 
Everyone knows they are engaged. And more than a few 
hint vigorously that there has been a giving and taking of 
rings. But both Helen and Bill deny it. 

A very good job of covering up the wedding ring was 
done by Helene Chadwick when she married William Well- 
man. In fact, the world got quite a shock when it learned 
that Helene was not a flapper, but had an able-bodied 
husband. Billy Wellman is a director at Fox's, I believe. 
Now Helene is sueing for divorce, charging desertion. 

The Farnum-Rubcns Match 

Jl7 ranklyn Farnum and Alma Rubens were secretly 
married. The news broke in a Los Angeles newspaper a 
fortnight later — but they had already separated ! So when 



Miss Rubens telephoned Guy Price, dramatic editor ,of 
The Los Angeles "Herald, asking him coyly to deny her 
marriage, Price printed this : 

"Miss Rubens asks me to deny her marriage to Franklyn 
Farnum. She not only is married to him but she is separ- 
ted from him, and divorce proceedings are about to be 
commenced." 



Reginald Denny a Benedict 



L, 



' ittle is heard about Reginald Denny's marriage, but 
not because Denny wishes to keep it dark. I imagine that 
Universal believes that Denny's romantic appeal is greater 
as a bachelor. Denny has been married for ten years, to 
the same wife, and still likes her! He is really thirty, 
though his press agent proclaims him twenty-six years old. 
Malcolm McGregor is married too, darn it ! He passes 
for a bachelor in print most of the time, but is an ardent 
enough husband in private life. Romantic appeal, like the 
case of Denny, is probably the reason for the non-publish- 
ing of the bans. 

Evelyn Brent's Marriage 

1 ne of the most interesting instances of a secret mar- 
riage recently was that of B. F. Fineman, the producer, 
and Evelyn Brent. The marriage was actually kept from 
the public for more than six months ! 

Of course, no account of California matrimonial events 
is complete without comment upon Pola and Charlie. 

No, they're not married ! 

In fact, as we go to press, they're not even engaged. 
Which is as far as we dare predict.

THREE OF THE YEAR'S BEST FILMS: THE COVERED WAGON, DRIVEN AND BLOOD AND SAND 



A.'.-.-ji^-^ . J4- 






CREEN WEAR in REVIEW 



np 

Jl here are any number of 
significant features to the screen 
year which closed on August 1st. 

First in importance — superfi- 
cially, at least — has been the ava- 
lanche of costume dramas. And 
the end is not yet in sight, al- 
though there is every indication 
of an overproduction of the ro- 
mantic picture. 

Of more genuine importance is 
the vogue of picture successes 
made away from the maddening 
studio. This we credit to the 
artificiality of our motion pictures 
in over-lighting, over-production, 
indeed, over-everything. 

The third — and highly disas- 
trous — element of the film year 

was the general slump of our directors. Only two or three 
came through the gruelling twelve months without at least 
one cinema disaster to their credit. It certainly was a bad 
year for the megaphone gentry. 



The Best Verformances of the Year 

1. Florence Vidor in "Main Street" 

2. Ernest Torrence in "The Covered 
Wagon" 

3. May Marsh in "The White Rose" 

4. Emily Fitzroy in "Driven" 

5. Rodolph Valentino in "Blood and 
Sand" 

6. Charles Chaplin in "The Pilgrim" 

7. Emil Jannings in "Peter the Great" 

8. Charles Ray in "The Girl I Loved" 

9. John Sainpolis in "The Hero" 
10. Myrtle Stedman in "Famous Mrs. 

Fair" 



An Interesting Year 



A, 



.IX ix all, it was an interesting year. The silver- 
sheet came out of its slump and attempted many things. 
The steady trend of romancism — the production of one

costume opus after another — was 
a curious thing. It dates back, 
as Mr. Robert E. Sherwood 
points out on another page, to the 
first presentation of Pola Negri 
and Ernest Lubitsch's Passion 
in this country in 1921. Up to 
that point there had been a posi- 
tive belief that audiences did not 
want to see stories of another 
day. A curious theory — and yet 
it completely barred the romantic 
play from the screen until the 
German-made Passion proved its 
fallacy. 

Immediately America launched 
into the costume field. One im- 
portant element of the successful 
German costume pictures was 
overlooked by most of our native producers. That was the 
fact that Ernest Lubitsch, in making Passion, Deception, 
and one or two other pictures, had succeeded in making 
his characters live. They were no mere cardboard folk 
sporting swords and wigs. Some measure of this ability 
to re-create the pulsating atmosphere of another day got 
into Robin Hood and When Knighthood Was in Flower. 
But there was much more of this fine spirit in Peter the 
Great, the visualization of the colorful life of the adven- 
turer who founded the Russian empire.

an Esquimau family of the Far North, made an amazing

Away-from-Studio Hits

oox after that Down to the 
Sea in Ships was released. This 
was a story of the whaling ad- 
ventures of the '50's, made by a 
professional director, Elmer Clif- 
ton, but actually produced and 
financed by the very descendants 
of the old time whalers them- 
selves, families living in and 
about New Bedford, Mass. The 
picture wasn't much on story, as 
it was screened, but it did show 
the hardy days of young America 
— and it had an "away-from-the- 
studio" virility. It succeeded surprisingly. 

Charles Brabin took a comparatively unimportant com- 
pany of players into the Georgia mountains and made 
Driven, which if made in a studio, would have been just 
another moonshiner picture. But, shot far from railroads 
and hotel luxuries in the very cabins of its prototypes, 
it became a living thing. Besides experimenting with a 
slow tempo, Brabin made the picture for $35,000 and came 
back to civilization with a fine contribution to the silent 
drama. It was another "awav-from-the-studio" success.

ERE SIGNIFICANT 




"Covered Wagon" Scores 

JL hen the prize picture of this kind appeared. It was 
Emerson Hough's The Covered Wagon. While everyone 
in motion pictures seems to be willing to take the credit 
for this epic photoplay, we strongly suspect it was a lucky 
shot — and nothing more. One of those chance successes 
that come once in a life-time. Director James Cruze was 
sent with a company to Utah to make this story, a romance 
in the midst of a covered wagon's tortuous passage across 
the plains from the outposts of civilization to the Pacific 
Coast. But the slender romance was swallowed up in the 
midst of the panorama of pioneer hardihood. The wagon 
train had stolen the center of the screen away from an 
ingenue, much as the French Revolution swallowed up the 
petty tribulations of the Gish sisters in David Wark Griffith's 
Orphans of the Storm. History has a way of making mere 
humans seem very inconsequential. The Covered Wagon 
turned out to have epic sweep but we wonder, down in our 
hearts, what the studio staff thought of the picture when 
they first saw it in California. It is significant that two 
minor characters, a quaint scout of the plains, played by 
Ernest Torrence, and a sly old trader, portrayed by Tully 
Marshall, ran away with the production, along with the 
very personable wagon train. How many who see The 
Covered Wagon will remember much of the so-called "love 
interest" ? But who will forget that wagon train, fighting 
its way westward ? One of the amusing things incident 
upon the success of The Covered Wagon is the fact that 
producers look upon it as indicative of a revival of interest 
in so-called "Westerns." It has given Buck Jones and 
other celluloid folk new heart. 

Game of Follow the Leader 

o we are getting many Westerns, for the field of motion 
picture making is one of follow the leader. To this is due 
the many costume pictures. To this sheep reasoning, and 
the fact that a costume piece is a marvelous sop to the 
vanity and ego of an actor. Also to the fact that it gives 
a new outlet to a producer's propensity to spend money 
on big sets. 

But to return to our actual selection of the twelve best 
pictures of the year ending August 1st, 1923. They are: 

1. "The Covered Wagon" 

2. "Blood and Sand" 

3. "Driven" 

4. "The Pilgrim" 

5. "Safety Last" 

6. "Nanook of the North" 



7. "Robin Hood" 

8. "When Knighthood Was in Flower" 

9. "Peter the Great" 

10. "Merry-Go-Round" 

11. "Where the Pavement Ends" 

12. "Down to the Sea in Ships" 

The Girl I Love actually deserves a place in this chosen 
list of twelve and can well be included, dividing honors 
with one of those named above. 



The Year's Best Playing 



Ti 



. he ten best performances of the year, to our way of 
thinking, were Florence Vidor in Main Street (although 
her playing of the title role of Alice Adams wasn't far 
behind), Ernest Torrence in The Covered Wagon, Mae 
Marsh in The White Rose> Emily Fitzroy in Driven, Ro- 
dolph Valentino in Blood and Sand, Charles Chaplin in The 
Pilgrim, Emil Jannings in Peter the Great, Charles Ray in 
The Girl I Love, John Sainpolis in The Hero and Myrtle 
Stedman in The Famous Mrs. Fair. 

Second lists are always interesting — and our second list 
of twelve leading pictures would number : The Bright 
Shawl, The Storm, Bella Donna, Grumpy, The Hero, Pen- 
rod and Sam, Enemies of Women, Mr. Billings Spends His 
Dime, Kick In, Fury, The Flirt and Timothy's Quest. 

And our list of the second ten performances of the year 
would be : Theodore Roberts in Grumpy, Richard Barthelm- 
ess in Fury, Florence Vidor in Alice Adams, Laurette Tay- 
lor in Peg O' My Heart, William Powell >n The Bright 
Shawl, Nita Naldi in Blood and Sand, Tully Marshall in 
The Covered Wagon, Ramon Novarro in Where the Pave- 
ment Ends, Erich Von Stroheim in Souls for Sale, and May 
McAvov in Kick In.

showed any sort of progress. Griffith contributed two dis- 
astrous plays. One Exciting Night, a confused effort at 
thrill melodrama, and The White Rose, a hark back to the 
sol) inducer of other days. If Griffith is to maintain his 
leadership of the American screen he must pause for time 
to set a sane perspective upon himself. Just now financial 
exigencies seem to rush him into one tawdry film effort 
alter another. And the Griffith of 1923 doesn't seem to 
lie the Griffith of five years ago, close to life. He is aloof 
and harried by circumstance. 

Our list of the significant six directors would number 
Griffith, if only for his fine past contributions to the photo- 
play's progress, Erich Von Stroheim, Ernst Lubitsch, Mack 
Sennett. Rex Ingram and Charlie Chaplin. 

Von Stroheim started Merry-Go-Round — but didn't fin- 
ish it. Vet there was enough left in the finished film to 
jive us a taste of this superb master of passion and in- 
trigue, seen through sophisticated Continental eyes. We 
-hall await his film version of Frank Morris' McTcaguc 
with high interest. 

Lubitsch has been directing Mary 1'ickford in The Street 
Singer, as yet unrevealed to the public. Will he keep his 
tine command of himself in America? We shall see. 

Mack Sennett Underestimated 

Ijmilic if you will but we honestly think Mack Sennett 
i- underestimated. No one in all screendom has made 
greater contributions to the screen than Sennett. He has 
developed the one branch of the screen which, if we may 
indulge in a pun, stands upon its own legs. It isn't an 
imitation of the stage, literature or-'anything else. It is in 
the production of film farce that the silversheet has alone 
achieved individuality. 

Chaplin is the genius of this field, of course. And his 
The Pilgrim was a rare thing of comedy. Vet Chaplin is 
more than a maker of laughs. His first serious drama, 



WONG AND CHARLES RAY DID FINE BITS 




A Woman of Paris, on which he has been working for 
months, ought to be highly significant. 

Rex Ingram lapsed with his directorial orgy. Trifling 
Women, and then made a step ahead with his production 
of John Russell's Where the Pavement Ends. This last 
was not only a sympathetic camera drama — but it enmeshed 
the strange lure of the South Seas. That alone was a 
triumph. 



Niblo's "Blood and Sand' : 



F. 



red Niislo did two very excellent photoplays, his vis- 
ualization of Ibanez's story of the bull ring, Blood and 
Sand, and James Forbes' study of a certain phase of Ameri- 
can life, The Famous Mrs. Fair. Two widely different 
things — and yet both well done. We wouldn't be surprised 
if some of the praise for Blood and Sand rightly belongs 
to June Mathis, who so materially aided the rise of Rex 
Ingram, but, even so, Niblo deserves his superlatives. 
Blood and Sand had color and swiftly unswerving move- 
ment in telling its story of the peasant lad who became 
the matador idol of all Spain. 

The other directorial leaders weren't so successful. Cecil 
De Mille seems to be steadily losing his grip. His Adam's 
Rib was an awful thing of its kind. Marshall Neilan 
doesn't take his work seriously. He is losing because he 
doesn't care. Allan Dwan seems to have been more injured 
by Robin Hood than anything else. His efforts since 
have been engulfed in massive sets. King Vidor, once so 
promising, seemed to hark back to his ideals with Peg O' 
My Heart but to slip again with Three Wise Fools. Hobart 
Henley revealed flashes at Universal during the year. 
Under difficulties, too, we suspect. John Robertson has 
temporarily linked his artistic fortunes with Richard Bar- 
thelmess. 'Their The Bright Shawl had charm, if little 
virility, but their The Fighting Blade, a story of Crom- 
wellian days not yet released, has both. Herbert Brenon 
has been disclosing his fine ability, even with inadequate 
materials, at Famous Players. Maybe his The Spanish 
Dancer, with Pola Negri, will give him his opportunity. 

The Shrinkage of Stars 

JL here has been a shrinkage of stars all along the line. 
The meteoric rise and' legal eclipse of Rodolph Valentino 
was the big histrionic event of the year. Valentino proved 
that he was a fine actor with his matador in Blood and 
Sand, and gave the part color, passion and a breathless 
touch of brutality. It was a stark and palpitating per- 
formance. 

The biggest advance of the year was made by Harold 
Llqyd. There is no bigger box (Continued on page 88)

black-robbed figure, its youth and strength subdued 
to stately step, heads a solemn procession through the cold 
austerity of an English courtroom. The moment is fraught 
with intensity, for this young man — the newly-made deem- 
ster — is to sit in judgment on a girl accused of killing her 
illegitimate baby. Out of all the world, only the girl and the 
judge know who the father of that child is. 

The courtroom is crowded with spectators eager for de- 
tails of the sordid tragedy. The girl, white-faced and cold 
in the extremity of her terror, has steadily refused to speak 
the name of her seducer. She has not faltered even though 
she knows that that seducer is the judge whom the prosecut- 
ing attorney is forcing into a pronunciation of the death sen- 
tence. 

Back of this great dramatic conflict stand the minds of 
two men. One of them is Sir Hall Caine, who first created 
the situation in his ''The Master of Man." The other is 
Victor Seastrom, the director who is transferring that novel 
to the screen for Goldwyn. 



Depends Upon the Director

N the hands of a weak man, the story could become merely 
a melodramatic sequence of fights, rainstorms, ranting vil- 
lians, and noble heros. Under the guidance of a certain loud- 
mouthed director — incidentally my pet personal aversion — I 
can easily imagine the girl's trouble resulting from a cafe 
drinking party in which three hundred and fifty extras

PHOTOPLAY

blithely stick confetti down one another's necks 
and thirty-two scantily-dressed Follies girls 
languish in the middle of the cleared dance-floor, 
thereby giving the exhibitors the pesky "big set" 
which he demands. 

But we have been taught to expect better 
things of Victor Seastrom. His greatness was 
first heralded by the pictures which came before 
him from Sweden. These pictures were made by 
a master-mind. They sounded truly and surely 
the sombre note of tragedy which deepens and strengthens 
the great symphony of life. 

American producers and American audiences — which one 
is the cause and which the result we cannot say — have mada 
of life a fairy tale of Cinderellas and happy endings finally 
punctuated by the last fade-out clinch. Producers say ex- 
hibitors demand these abortions, and exhibitors in their turn 
say they are prompted by the public which supports the box- 
office. 

Public Demanding Realism 

JL he public — as far as can be judged from letters received 
by Screexeand and other film magazines — is slowly but 
surely rousing from its passive acceptance of things as they 
are. and is demanding a true reflection of life. 

There is every reason to believe a great, thinking, earnest 
public exists. But, unfortunately, this public never puts pen 
to paper in the interest of motion pictures. It is the same 
public which has tamely allowed certain laws to be foisted 
upon it. 

In the mad dash for ducets, the producer aims to make 
pictures which will at one and the same time please Flossie 
Bright-eyes and an old man with a long white beard, a pro- 
fessor and a cook, a lady and a scrub-woman. Obviously, it 
can't be done. 

But in Victor Seastrom lies hope. Since his coming to us 
from Sweden, he has been instrumental in organizing the 
Little Theatre movement of the screen. It is related to 
motion pictures much as the Theatre Guild is related to the 
theatre.

clubs, a practical release for those 
artistic films which cannot find a place in the commercial 
theatre," its announcement states. 

The first film scheduled for release by this organization 
is "Mortal Clay," a picture which Seastrom made in Sweden. 
The movement is still in the process of formation. It is 
independent in that one studio contributes no more toward 
it than another. Yet it so happens that practically every 
large company contributes one or more of its big names to 
the list of sponsors. 

For instance, Rex Ingram, Ernst Lubitsch, 
Hugo Ballin, Paul Bern and Rob Wagner are a 
few of the men interested. Outside the industry, 
the Federation of Women's Clubs for Southern 
California, the Juvenile Protective 
League, the Friday Morning Club and 
the National Board of Review all 
sponsor the cause.

i- hose who have investigated the purposes of 
the Little Theatre movement in pictures have 
every faith in its ultimate success. With these 
brains behind it and its first release "Mortal 
Clay," it will have a good start on the road. 
Once started, all it will need is support — yours. 

The editor of Screenland wired me to 
ask Mr. Seastrom for his views on 
"What is the matter with American 
photoplays?" But after talking with 
persons who knew the director well, 
I decided that discretion was the 
better part of valor. He is, it 
seems, very bashful with inter-

Sorrows for 

By Anne Austin 



f certain motion picture people now in the limelight 
were to advertise in the classified sections of the news- 
papers, their bid for business would read like this: 

For Sale : Sorrows. Nationally advertised, guaranteed 
to bring tears and sympathy. Seller, realizing enormous 
publicity value of the great tragedy which has marred 
his life, offers his sorrows to the highest bidder. Address 
Hollywood, Box, 23, P. D. Q. 

Sorrow is the most salable commodity in the world of fil- . 
lum and hokum. For sorrow is the woof and warp of hokum. 

The public dearly loves to feel very sorry for someone, 
to see in the flesh or in the film the person for whom it is 
sorry. Of all our emotions, we enjoy our sympathy, our ■ ■ 
vicarious grief, the most. The public never loved Wally Reid 
so well in life as they did in his heart- 
breaking death. So its interest turned 

to Mrs. Wallace Reid and it was natural j can Acker, who has 
that she would be approached by motion capitalized the sorrow

D. W. Griffith's next production will be a big spectacu-

Richard Barthelmess is going to do a big special in the

And there are dozens of others in preparation. 

Divorce in the Air 

A.s Screenland goes to press there seems to be some doubt 
in Paris to whether or not Irene Castle is divorced. Cable 
reports indicated that divorce proceedings had been started 
in Paris but, upon her return from France, Irene declared 
that there was nothing to it ! So there you are ! 

However, Elsie Ferguson did get a Paris divorce. That's 
that. • 

Day of Best Sellers 



roduction is at its height in that portion of the motion 
picture industry located on the West Coast. Best sellers 
are being bought for the screen; plays dickered for, and 
even — oh, unprecedented ! — here and there an original 
story is being filmed. 




It is really surprising how leary the astute producer 
is of the innocent, unassuming little original story. "Has 
it ever been published?" asks the high and mighty one of 
the trembling author. "N-no, s-sir," gasps the intimidated 
one. "Well, I can't look at it until it is. Any magazine 
will do, just as long as it's in print." 

The bewildered wretch stumbles off, not knowing the 
whereof of which. But by and by he learns the reason. 
It's because the chooser of motion picture stories does not 
trust his own judgment — he must first have the product 
stamped with the approval of another brain. 

An interesting example of this is the story which Mar- 
shall Neilan has just finished filming. It is called The 
Rendezvous and was written by Madeline Ruthven, a Texas 
girl. She came to Los Angeles from a Dallas newspaper, 
intent upon gaining a foothold in some lucrative scenario 
department. 

To make a long story short, after months of effort, she 
took a stenographic job in the Lasky scenario department. 
Here she learned every bit of knowledge there was to 
know about the actual construction of photoplays. By 
and by — but not nearly so easily as that — she evolved 
The Rendezvous which in due course of time was returned 
from practically every studio in the business. Then Marshall 
Neilan saw it, and Marshall Neilan does not need any one 
else to tell him when a thing is good. 

And here's the 
s e q u e 1 — Mrs. 
Ruthven kept 
right on at her 
secretarial job at 
Lasky's for some 
months. Promises 
were made her, 
but nothing mate-

'em tell you the streets are paved with gold — good intentions 
is more like it. 

Gulliver's Travels 

„ing Vidor has had a clear enough vision to see the won- 
derful picture possibilities in Gulliver's Travels. He says 
that all his life he has wanted to film it, and he is delighted 
that at last he is to have a chance. As soon as he finishes 
Wild Oranges, from the novel by Joseph Hergesheimer, 
he will stamp Gulliver on celluloid. He says, 

"I believe there is a crying need for more imaginative 
and fanciful productions on the screen. Our growth has 
been retarded by our worship of realism. Most people 
get their fill of realism in their own lives and they seek 
escape into the realm of imagination for their entertainment. 
The cinema is ideally suited to portray fantasy and myth." 

Think how the kiddies will love the giants and pigmies — 
how they will revel in Gulliver's adventures ! And how the 
grownups will enjoy the splendid satire of Swift's fairy 
tale! 

Searching for Paul 



not find it in her heart to refuse. And so Three Weeks, 
which has almost become a classic — so widely has it been 
read — will become a motion picture the latter part of August. 

The cast of the picture will be small, and necessarily Mrs. 
Glyn is bending all her energies to picking actors and ac- 
tresses who are ideal types. There are many rumors afloat 
as to the heroine. Theda Bara and Aileen Pringle seem 
to be the runners-up so far. 

Picking the hero is even harder. The author favors a 
stalwart Englishman, name so far unknown, who she thinks 
is the ideal. But insofar a she is unknown to the public, 
Conrad Nagel — who is also a popular choice for the part — 
seems more logical.

peaking, of Conrad Nagel — he's been bitten by the 
fatal California real estate bug. The attack, though severe, 
promises to be lucrative. 

He owns two ranches. The first comprises 40 acres 
planted to watermelon, honeydew melon and cantaloupe, 
and is valued at $65,000. This he will subdivide and sell 
five lots to the purchaser with the admonition to build resi- 
dences. 

The second ranch extends over 25 acres of ground and 
is covered with orange trees. As it is situated closer to 
the business section Conrad will subdivide it and build apart- 
ment houses thereon. 

Schildkraut Moves 

JL he Master of Man, now being filmed by Victor Sea- 
strom from the novel by Hall Caine, started out originally 
with Joseph Schildkraut as leading man. After several 
weeks' work on location, the daily rushes revealed the fact 
that Mr. Schildkraut looked too — well, too — Yes, that's 
it. So they put Conrad Nagel in his place, and retook all 
the shots in which Mr. Schildkraut appeared. 

Lila Lee and Kirkwood Marry 

.eee's news hot off the wire! Lila Lee and James Kirk- 
wood are married. The rumor of their engagement had been 
bruited about Hollywood for some time,- but was firmly 
denied by all parties concerned. Piersonally, we're just a 
little bit puzzled about it, because not so long ago Mr. 
kirkwood and his wife, who have been separated a long- 



homas Meighan 
arrived the other day 
from his umpty-steenth .

because one meets such

train! He will start al- 
most immediately \ on 
Woman-Proof, another 
George Ade Story. Lila Lee will be his leading woman. 

Doug, Jr. to Do His Stuff 

Douglas Fairbanks, Jr. is about to start on his first 
motion picture. It is called Stephen Steps Out, arid is 
taken from a story by the late Richard Harding Davis. 
In the cast supporting him will be Theodore Roberts, Harry 
Myers and Noah Beery. Quite a lot of high priced support 
for one young feller ! 

Name Changed Again 

illiam de Mille has again changed the name of The 
Faun, which he has been making into a photoplay from 
the William Faversham stage success. The preceding title 
was Spring Magic. Now it is The Marriage Maker. 
If Mr. de Mille doesn't watch out, he will run Norma Tal- 
madge a close second as a title changer. Only no one 
could beat Norma when it comes to terrible titles ! . Agnes 
Ayres and Jack Holt are the featured players of The 
Marriage Maker. 

Louise Fascnda 

JL< ouise Fazenda has been given a long-term contract by 
Warner Brothers whereby she will play straight roles. By 
the contract she will virtually become a star, although a 
provision is made enabling her to go on immortalizing her 
inimitable slavey characterization. 

Hale with Warners 

•reighton Hale started' August 20th in a picture, as yet 
untitled, directed by Ernest Lubitsch. Creighton has two 
children and three brothers. The three brothers are all 
officers in the Navy. One is a commander, another a 
lieutenant-commander and the third a lieutenant. The two 
kidlets are also in the Navy — as much as they can be. 
The eldest wears an officer's uniform and the youngest that

JUillian T ashman, that decorative young lady of 
stage fame, is in Los Angeles as the guest of the 
parents of Edmund Lowe, well known stage leading 
man who is playing Don John in Ik the Palace of the 
King. I'll bet they're engaged ! 

Mary on Goldwyn Lot 



Lary Pickford come over to Culver City to pay 
Abraham Lehr and the Goldwyn lot a little visit the 
other day. Immediately all the publicity hounds were 
out with their cameras, and all sorts of rumors ran 
rife. Now what significance had the visit of Mary? 

Did You Know That 

..oscoe Arruckle appears before you in Hollywood, 
the James Cruze production for Lasky? When 
Angela, the heroine, tries to find work at the casting 
window of one of the big studios, she turns away 
hopelessly to give place to a gentleman of generous 
proportions. The casting director takes one look at 
that rotund countenance and slams the window shut. 
Although they do not tell us so, the actor is none other 
than our own Roscoe — more power to him ! Watch 
for him, you fans who have been hungry for sight of 
that genial face. 

The Motion Picture Exposition 

JL he Motion Picture Exposition, celebrating the Cen- 
tennial of the Monroe Doctrine, was expected to be 
an affair that was going to make the San Francisco 
exposition look like an Elks' minstrel show in Paducah. 
But there's many a slip 'twixt the cup and the hip, 
and we regretfully announce that the exposition was 
more or less of a flop. 

The exposition was held on a huge park, very beauti- 
ful to look at in the evening, when the colored domes 
of the buildings gleam under the electric lights. On 
the opening night, tickets were ten dollars apiece. 
The visitors paid and paid and paid, and when they 
got past the eagle-eyed guardians of the gate, they 
thought at first that all they had purchased was the 
right to go in and spend more money at the Owl drug

booths scattered around the grounds. But later they 
found their way to the Coliseum, where a three-ringed 
circus was going on, punctuated by the exhibition of stars, 
driven around the arena in their motors to be stared at 
by the tourists. 

Fred Niblo, the noblest master of ceremonies of 
them all, announced them. He worked hard, did Fred, that 
night. In fact, he got a greater amount of applause than 
any of the stars, especially when he introduced his wife, Enid 

Bennett, with the remark, 
"This is Enid Bennett, and I 
think she's sweet !" She looked 
sweet, too. 

Last year, under the super- 
vision of Daniel Frohman, the

was enormously successful.

her intention of supporting her husband, Buster Keaton, 
in his next feature comedy. And to make the family circle 
complete, Baby Joe Keaton, a little more than a year 
old, is to have a part in the picture, too. 

A Sacrifice for Art 



nna Q. Nilsson had a wealth of lovely blonde hair. 
We hope you notice the tense. She had it. She hasn't any 
more. When they cast Anna Q. for the leading role in 
Ponjola, she at first thought she could wear a man's wig 
when she came to the sequences where she would have to 
doff skirts for male clothes. But the realism wasn't per- 
fect, so Anna Q., like a heroine, marched into a barber- 
shop and ordered, "Cut it short and shave my neck." By 
the way, Ponjola isn't the heroine's name, as you might 
think. It's Rhodesian for ''hooch." 

Louise Presented Cup 

JL» ouise Fazenda had a new job wished on her out at the 
Ship cafe, at Venice, the other evening. She presented a 
silver cup to the pair of best dancers on the floor. And 
although a number of screen players contested, the winning 
dancers were non-professionals. 

Harry's Life Story 



■It's stylish to get the bi- 
ographies of stars for studio

Myers a blank questionnaire the 
other day, and here is the way 
he filled it out : 



Lillian Tashman paid a visit 
to Edmund Loive at the 
Goldwyn Studios and the 
rumor of their engagement 
tvas revived. Mr. Lowe is 
the Don John of In the 
Palace of the King. 



Name: Harry Myers. 

Bom: Yes. 

Lived: In luxury until I was weaned. Since then 
it's been a devil of a struggle. 

Educated: At all saloons north of the Mason and 
Dixon line. 

Pets: Directors, stars and cameramen. 

Father's profession: He hated work, too. Just a 
good talker. 

How entered films: Had something on Lubin, 
Laemmle, Beaumont, Lasky, and Warner Bros., and un- 
less I get some work for Louis Mayer soon, I'll pull one 
on him. 

Company: Do you mean who I go with?

came home from visiting her auntie at a week-end party 
for grown-ups at the beach the other day. Mrs. Mont- 
gomery wanted to know if the host had said grace at 
dinner. 

"What did Mr. B say, dear," she asked. 

"Oh," said Peggy, "he said, 'We'll be seated now.' " 

"And then what," pursued mama. 

"He said," Peggy answered, " 'never mind putting 
too much orange juice in it!'" ...

The Hollywood Exodus 

JL hey're coming back, all of 
Hollywood's little film pilgrims 
to the -wicked shores of New 
x ^ork. Harold Lloyd and Mil- 
dred Davis Lloyd are back from 
their honeymoon in Gotham, 
speaking in awed tones of the 
wonderful time they had. Only 
the Follies didn't come up to 
expectations, with Will Rogers 
gone. For Will is in Holly- 
wood, too, now. 

Which reminds us that Will 
was one of the reasons that 
Harold Lloyd packed up and 
left Hal Roach, according to 
rumor. Harold had been hav- 
ing some friendly disputes 
with Roach over salary 
But when Roach brought a 
rival comedian to the studio 
where Harold had reigned 
alone for so long, the dis- 
satisfaction came to a head, 
and Harold took his doll rags 
and went over to the Holly- 
wood studios. And took his 
.whole organization with him. 

Tommy Meighan is back, 
too. Again. It's hard to keep 
track of Tommy, he's back 
and forth so frequently. This 
time Tommy received all re- 
porters at one fell swoop before leaving the big town, and 
entertained them in B. V. D's and black dressing gown, the 
while he threw shirts and socks into his bag. No, Ella-

Could I Roller-Skate?

(( 



I, 



.f I can't do anything else when I get to Hollywood, 
I'll do extra work" — I'd like to het that nine out of ten of 
you aspirants to movie fame have secretly admitted this 
to yourselves. But you little dream that what is demanded 
of us in extra work is ten times more than what is de- 
manded of a star. 

For one all too short period of my Hollywood career, I 
Ritzed about like a Jazz-Queen. Didn't I have a job at 
$150 a week with Gilbert Tarryton? I did — for two weeks. 
But Nemesis still pursued me. The "Hell's Litany" com- 
pany went broke and my contract was a scrap of paper. 
When I found myself outside the studio doors, well then — 
I jumped at whatever came my way. 

One day a call came from Hope Hampton's director. 
Was there a girl at the Studio Club who could both sing 
and play the piano very well, and both at the same time ? 
Anyhow, the job was wished on me. I reported at nine 
A. M. on Sunday morning at a little Victrola and music 
store on Broadway in Los Angeles. I was to be an "ivory 
tickler" who jazzed off popular melodies, chewed gum and 
sang — over and over again, the two or three hits of the 
hour. This sounds easy. Try it sometime. 

I sang and chewed and pounded till I was dizzy, but I 
felt an utter failure that night. I needed the seven fifty 
they, gave me for the day's work, or I'd have mailed it 
back. I knew I didn't make the grade. 



JL he next day the Service Bureau wanted 
three girls to roller-skate. Again I was pushed 
in on the job. This time I had no fear, be- 
cause as a child I used to neglect the higher 
branches to improve the lower limbs. Many 
a time and oft, have I "hookied it" from school 
to roller-skate around Mt. Tom on Riverside 
Drive. 

So, forgetting the years that " have inter- 
vened, I vowed to the director that I could 
skate. So I was promised three days' work 
oh my glib assurances. 
My first hours on those skates ! Trying to look grace- 
ful, keep my balance, and talk naturally to the spectators 
made one of the most painful memories of my life. Again 
I barely made the grade. However, I now feel I must 
practice roller-skating several hours daily, so I won't feel 
a fool if ever (large if) another chance comes to do roller 
skating. I might be called on to double for a star, or I 
might be a star myself some day. 

A girl I knew called me up and told me there was a 
great job coming up at Ince. Just a few girls to be used 
all through a picture in riding habits. She knew I'd get 
it if I went out all dressed up in a stunning habit. She 
had done this and had landed the job. 

The next day the casting director called me up about 
this. He said, 

"Put on your habit and come right out. I can promise 
sixty-five dollars a week for several weeks." 

Scattering cats ! All the money I could borrow in 
one's, two's and five's I gathered together, went forth 
and bought me a real riding habit — latest model, all wool ; 
rented a taxi and drove in state to Culver City. They 
liked my looks. They led me to a path and helped me 
mount a horse. A trick horse. I lasted about twenty 
seconds. The rest you will guess. I landed a fall instead 
of the job, and I tore a large hole in my brand new riding 
breeches. They have never graced my girlish figure since

SCMEEMLAND 



Being a Bathing Beauty 

1 n the strength of my accumulated debt I jumped at a 
call that very week to go to Santa Monica with a comedy 
company for three days' location. There we had to jump 
into barrels, into fake fishes' mouths, with our feet and 
legs sticking out, play leap frog, and last but not least, dive 
off a cliff — really quite a dangerous trick. I was utterly 
disgusted with life, myself, the jobs 'I'd been handed, and 
the people I'd been working with. 

Generally speaking, I love movie people. As a class, 
they are as fine and real as any other people in the world. 
But this particular crowd didn't vibrate with me, nor I 
witli them. So instead of going home with them when 
the work was over, I said I was going to visit a friend. 

With my three days' checks in my pocket, to be cashed 
later, plus my car ticket and seventy-six cents, I started 
off walking down the board walk beside the ocean, thinking. 

About an hour later I passed a fortune telling parlor — 
"Prisda, the Gypsy Queen." Now I must confess to a 
weakness for having my fortune told, so I stepped in and 
asked the "Gypsy Queen" what she could tell me for fifty 
cents. She led me into her mystic den, and instead of 
telling my fortune, we began to talk — of life, its battles, 
its heartaches, its victories, and its joys. 

When I told her of my life, she said, "Why don't you 
stay here with me a few days? You can dress up as a 
gypsy. You can clear a few dollars. I'll advertise you 
as 'Vera, the Medium' — just here for a few days on her 
way to Roumania." 



I 



"Tella-a da Fortune, Lady?" 




fell in with the idea, with the same thrill I'd have had 
as a child at running away with a circus. Think of ac- 
tually living with a gypsy queen! 

But had I visited the Queen of Sheba, she could not 
have treated me more royally. I told dozens of fortunes. 
Several of the biggest stars in pictures came into our 
little booth. And I wonder, now that I am back in Holly- 
wood, if the next time I'm working on a lot with some of 
them, they will recognize the mystic, seeing eyes of "Vera, 
the Medium." 

Hollywood's Religious Complex 

T March 10, 1923. 

he newspapers and magazines throughout the coun- 
try accuse Hollywood of all sorts of things. But I feel 
that Hollywood's greatest complex is a religious one. 

There are many churches in this small community. Every 
other person you meet discusses science, truth, healing, 
demonstrations, the subconscious, or the particular Karma 
you are working out, until sometimes at night I find my 
head reeling with isms and ophies that I had never even 
heard of before. 

And even in my film work, this summer, I've lived in a 
deeply religious, strictly orthodox, Biblical atmosphere. 

I read the other day that ninety per cent of the High 
School children in New York City knew -nothing of the 
Bible. I suggest sending them to Hollywood to enter the 
so-called "wicked world" of filmdom. Here at least, they 
will imbibe a bit of sacred history, just from extra work, 
or the constant talk about the Pilgrimage Play, or the open 
discussions on religion. 

Here, no one is ashamed to profess his faith openly and 
ardently. Neither do we have religious martyrs. Tolerance 
is perhaps Hollywood's greatest crime. 

Making Bible Pictures 

JL began early in June, working with the Sacred Film 
Company, in the episode of Sarah and Abraham. 

We searched days and days, in scorching sand and through 
barren waste, to find the Promised Land. 

It was there, oddly enough, that I met one of the .real 
people of Hollywood. A carpenter who had been building 
the tiny hillside homes to be used as the setting for the 
great Pilgrimage Play. I was fascinated in the sketches 
he was making from colored prints of Bethlehem and 
Nazareth. We began talking, of course, and one day he 
took me with him up into the canyon where the work was 
going on. There, clinging to both sides of the narrow 
canyon, on the steep sides of the hills, were small, flat- 
roofed homes, just like the ones we had pored over to- 
gether in the big library Bible. 

Things come about in strange ways, and it was really 
through this new friend Davies that, about a month later, 
I got a chance to play the part of Martha in the Pil- 
grimage Play. 



F. 



The Pilgrimage Play 



John the Baptist rode to rehearsals on 
a motor cycle. 



OR three summer months, the life of Christ is por- 
trayed every evening. The performance takes place in the 
hills in a real natural theatre, and the audience, about fif- 
teen hundred in number, sits at the foot of the hills, on 
the sloping floor of the canyon.

The entire play is handled in a reverential spirit. But to be in the Pilgrimage Play, 
and possess a sense of humor, is to be handed a laugh a minute. 
And surely the Lord loveth joy. 

John the Baptist on a Motor Cycle 

X. he first thing I laughed loudly o'er was the approach of the man playing John 

the Baptist. Can you imagine the "Voice crying in the desert" riding on a motor cycle ? 

Well, "John" did. He attended rehearsals and performances at the risk of his life, 

approaching in breakneck speed on a snorting red motor cycle. 
Then suddenly someone would call out to me — 
"Martha, if you go down the street, bring Herod and Caiaphas a 

couple of eskimo pies." 
- Another remark oft heard was, 

"Lazarus, have you got a Lucky Strike?" or "Pilate, give me a 

stick of gum." 

St. Peter Will Be Waiting 

1 ne day, during the run of the play, I was working in a picture in 
the daytime, and the gate man on the lot came to me with a baffled 
expression on his face, and said, 

"There is a strange man outside — he sent this message: 
He says to tell you St. Peter will be waiting at the 
gate for you in his Ford to take you to the performance 
tonight." 

When the demoniac boy left before the season was over, 
we all chipped in to buy him a cigarette case. 



Six Maids and a Man 

April 4, 1923. 

Pame Fortune's daughter has clamped her hands heavily 
upon us Extra girls, lately. Not a call from any of the 
agencies. Not even a promise of work at the studios. 

The portals of the "Land of Make-Believe" seem locked 
and bolted for at least three months. Everywhere the of- 
fice boy would say, 

"We are not casting today." 

This threw a great gleam of gloom upon us. So one 
night, about six weeks ago, we held a debate in the attic 
of the Studio Club. Three held fast to the affirmation of 
the affirmative : 

"It is worth while to struggle, suffer, and starve for 
Art's sake." 

The negatives : 

"It is selfish, stupid, and soul-slaughtering, to let Youth 
slip by on the quicksands of the Film world." 

It was about two A. M. when the debate abated. I saw 
Pat slip out of the room chattering with the cold, but 
grasping a pad and pencil. Babs followed her. We all 
felt the "muse was on." 

Two hours later, when the other four of us, still wide 
awake and huddled together in one bed, were about ready 
to cash in on the whole movie game, Pat entered the 
room and demanded our undivided attention. In two hours' 
time, seated on the side of the bathtub, she had written a 
short Vaudeville "Act," depicting the life of six girls in 
Hollywood, struggling for entrance into filmland. It fairly 
glistened with clever, witty lines. And Babs had, with 
the aid of a night light and a blunt pencil, written some 
adorable lyrics for three songs. Pat had a friend who 
could write jazzy music. We could think up some dances, 
and go storming into vaudeville with the act, while the 
studios were so dull, playing about on small time for a 
few weeks, and perchance be booked on Orpheum time later 
on. We felt we had a great message to bring to girls in 
the big cities and girls in small towns and hamlets, warn- 
ing them against entering into this heart-breaking struggle 




My first hours on 
those skates! Try- 
ing to look grace- 
ful, keep my bal- 
ance and talk 
naturally I barely 
made the 



unless one had an herculean constitution, aided by the pos- 
session of at least one thousand sheckles.

Rehearsing for Big Time 



I ext day rehearsals actually started and continued for 
many days to come. If you've ever tried getting anything 
ready for vaudeville, you know what hard work is put 
on things that are apparently dead easy. Pat was terribly 
strict about rehearsals. Glory used to tumble downstairs 
in exactly one garment, and the rest of us hadn't much 
more on, I must admit. 

Booked at Last 



e tried to make each a distinct character, and true to our 
own type, and at last the Act seemed really whipped into 
shape enough for its "premiere." We managed to get a 
booking at one of the cheap little movie theatres at the 
Beach for two days, giving four performances a day. 

I must tell you that our chauffeur on this and many suc- 
ceeding occasions was none other than Davies, my old friend 
of the Pilgrimage Play. There are rare individual souls 
scattered here and there in the world, who give and 
give without a thought of receiving. Davies is one of 
them. His battered old Saxon {Continued on page 97)-.

Thousrnds of Dollars Are blasted on the Altar of Ego. 



Justifiable Waste. 

irERE is wanton waste and eco- 
nomical waste, paradoxical as the lat-. 
ter may sound. Cecil B. DeMille has 
been an expert on making- wastefulness 
bring in dividends. Did you ever see 
a. C. B. DeMille picture that did not 
have at least one big scene that looked 
like a million dollars ? You never did. 
There is always a great ball-room scene, 
or an expensive-looking bacchanal, or 
a historical Hash-back with intricate 
and elaborate costumes. You whistle 
and comment, "Gee, C. B. certainly shot 
his wad on that scene." 

The exhibitor reacts in just the same 
way. He sits in the projection room 
.and mentally calculates how little he 
can buy the picture for. But expensive 
looking scenes impress him. He figures 
that he must expect to pay niore for a 
picture that cost so much to make. 

It is an error in economics to spend 
money that does not show. No matter 
if it is artistic, the lavishness must be 
as visible as the nose on the exhibitor's 
face. In Charles Ray's picture, The 
Ctrl I Loved, a whole farm was built 
on the studio lot, at enormous expense. 
But Charlie couldn't convince an ex- 
hibitor of the fact. 

"Go on," the exhibitor would argue 
slyly. "Don't tell me that picture 
should cost mc so much money: Why, 
you could shoot most of it out in some- 
body's cow pasture." 

"More sincerity and less flashy os- 
tentation" is the plea of the critics and 
the public, but the plea is not echoed 
by the exhibitors. And as the policy 
of pictures is often- held in the pudgy 
hands of some ignorant, pig-headed ex- 
hibitor who firmly believes that what 
the public wants is something they have 
outgrown at least two years back, can 
you blame the producer for deciding in 
favor of ostentation? 

Driven, on the other hand, cost some- 
thing like $35,000 to make. An ab- 
surdly small budget to make a picture 
on. Yet Charles Brabin did it, and his 
picture was acclaimed one of the finest 
of the year. 

Economy did it. Brabin took his 
company up into the Georgia moun- 
tains. They lived the life of the moun- 
taineers, in little cabins. Every ex- 
pense had been figured out beforehand. 
Brabin knew almost to the foot how 
much film he would shoot. And he did 
not over-shoot. 

Over-shooting is one of the greatest 
sources of waste. A producer often 
shoots four and five times as much film 
as he ever expects to use. 



Is This Waste? 

{Continued from page 19) 

Occasionally a canny producer gath- 
ers up the rejected film and patches it 
up into a new picture. 

Do you remember the Paramount 
comedy, Don't Tell livery thine) ? If 
Hollywood gossip was true, it was 
made partly of the remnants of the 
ill-fated Affairs of Anatol. 



T 



'Time Is Money 



J-ME is money, with the enormous 
studio overhead running up every 
minute. But you would never know it, 
gazing at the leisurely fashion in which 
motion pictures seem to be made. Some- 
times hours pass by, while a director 
fumes and frets and the actors yawn 
and gossip, and electricians sweat over 
some lights that refuse to function. 

Sometimes a camera will balk right 
in the midst of a great mob scene, and 
the whole thing will have to be repeated. 

"I never saw a camera balk over a 
small shot," Cecil DeMille said once. 
"But take a big, smashing scene using 
thousands of extras, and ten to one 
something will happen to the camera." 

It is the apparent time-waste that re- 
duces the efficiency experts to a state 
of inarticulate frenzy. These "cost- 
hounds" are the most cordially hated 
persons on a lot, and sometimes justly 
so. Used to the cut and dried function-, 
ing of a factory, they cannot under- 
stand that a motion picture cannot al- 
ways be turned out with all extra move- 
ments eliminated. They pounce upon 
little evidences of waste with all the 
gleeful zest of a cat upon a mouse. 

"Look here," the cost hound demands 
of a director. "This cost sheet shows 
that you bought two fifty-cent cigars 
for your picture on location. Why 
wouldn't nickel cigars have done just 
as well?" 

"Because we were in a small town, 
and that was all they had. Tt would 
have taken three hours of valuable 
time to go to the next town for cheaper 
ones." 

Cosily Philanthropy 

Sometimes a director allows hundreds 
ol extra folk to dawdle on salary for 
days, in order to preserve the strength 
or humor the whim of a high-salaried 
star. One director is greatly beloved 
by extra people because of his bent 
for keeping as many extras on salary 
throughout the picture as he can. He 
knows how much a day's work means 



to an extra, and when he has the slight- 
est excuse for keeping an actor, he does 
it. Because he is a very good director, 
he gets away with this laudable but 
costly philanthropy. 

The malady known as "klieg "eyes" 
has caused more waste of time and 
money than any other malady. Scenes 
have been held up for days, while the 
star kept ice packs on her streaming 
eyes. 



But the inveterate cost hound is 
working on this expensive malady, and 
little by little it is being conquered. 
Many actors wear colored glasses on 
the set, when not working, to prevent 
the ultra violet rays of the big lights 
from inflaming their eyes. 

Handling Mobs 

■IT or years, a great deal of time has 
been wasted in handling extras in the 
big mob scenes. But army efficiency 
methods are being injected into -the 
movies. Fred Datig and Harold Stal- 
liugs, . casting directors at Universal 
City, worked out a successful plan for 
handling the great crowds used in The 
Hunchback of Notre Dame. 

It has formerly taken from three to 
four hours to check the extras into. the 
studio and give them their costumes. 
Under the new system, it took just 
fifty minutes to dispose of some 1,200 
extras and start the cameras grinding. 
They received their tickets at the froni 
gate. Then, instead of the usual tedi- 
ous roll call on the set,, they passed 
before two men at typewriters. The 
typists took their names as fast as they 
were given, and the next official, gave 
them their costumes. 

Salvaging Sets 



great source of waste in days 
past has been the huge and elaborate 
sets built. Much of this waste is now 
being overcome. 

At the Lasky studio, there is a studio 
carpenter who makes a study of cheap 
materials, lie can build the most mar- 
velous ball-room out of composition 
board, stained or covered with wall 
paper. The wall corners are held to- 
gether only by small iron keystones. 
The polished ball-room floor is usually 
made of composition board, too, and 
treated with bard glaze finish. 

The elaborate fireplaces, . friezes, 
fountains and carved panels are de- 
signed by the studio artists, and cast 
in plaster moulds. A fter they have 
been used, the plaster is discarded, but

Difficult to. Interview 

JL cudgeled my brain for the opening 
question. This is all-important, for by 
it, the interview may freeze his vic- 
tim into ice on the instant. 

They had planned that T talk with 
him at lunch, but at noon, when they 
approached him on the subject, I could 
see him shaking his leonine head vigor- 
ously, something like terror in those 
. sea-blue' eyes. I thought, with- an ir- 
reverant inward giggle, of the terror of 
an elephant for a mouse. 

At last they persuaded him to remain ; 
cornered for a very few minutes, .v. .

understand the -ward, means "studio" in 
Sweden. - ."...... ' ~

one poor subject of conversation. , . 

So, - if we are to learn his views on 
American photoplays and photoplay- 
making, we must reconstruct them from 
the few remarks recorded on these 
pages. ... 

Therefore, at. the risk of incurring 
his righteous wrath, I shall make so 
bold. as to give you his views as I con- 
ceive them: 

He— quite naturally^-likes to make 
pictures' better in Sweden than he does 
here; You can't blame him. There he 
is v ampng his people, speaking his 
tongue, basically thinking his, thoughts. 
His mind is' Swedish and his pictures 
appeal first and foremost to Swedish 
minds. 

Great Technical Opportunities ^

nical . opportunities for the making" of 
pictures 1 -— providing the American pub- 
lic will accept .them.- That- ft the' ehafrce : 
he is "running, now. In all probability,

Master of Man is r, '..""" * 

"Am I making a picture which the 
American mind will embrace ? Will each 
and every scene in this picture be clear ; 
to the American public?" 

I sensed that he regretted having said 
that Swedish motion pictures were con- 
trolled .by . a trust. The remark oozed 
out, jits . it were, and was quickly re- 
pressed." But here, perhaps, is another 
reason ..why Seastrom is making pic-

Victou Seastrom. Far from it. My life 
as an interviewer: has been made up of 
such a large number of things, that I 
have honest liking and gratitude for

one realizes the past achievements of 
the man— realizes' the nice application of 
his vast knowledge of life and acting 
to the work at hand, it. is astounding- to 
find such reticence:

We are all awaiting eagerly the re-

under varying circumstances, in two -

comparison. By them we can learn the 
relative merits and demerits of the 
native and the foreign branches of the

Our Stars Try Costumes 

considering categorically, the big- 
gest stars and directors in The Filmy

taken a flyer in romantic drama. Some 
of them have gone in for costume stuff 
to the exclusion of everything else. 

Douglas Fairbanks, in the past three 
years, has made two pictures — The 
Three Musketeers and Robin Hood 
■ — both of which were reeking with 
romance. His next production, The 
Thief of Bagdad, v/fll follow the same 
schedule. 

Mary Pick ford has made Little Lord 
Fauntleroy and is now engaged on 
Lolita, a story of old Spain. 

Rex Ingram has done The Prisoner 
of Zenda and Scaramouche. 

Norma Talmadge reflected two stages 
of the 19th Century in Smilin' Thru 
and The Eternal Flame, and has 
gone even farther back into the dim past 
in Ashes of Vengeance.

: .' -,- •'■;' Satisfying Stellar Vanity 

here" is-' no doubt that many of 
these spectacular romantic dramas have 
been produced to satisfy the star's per- 
sonal" . vanity. There is no actor ;or 
actress 'in.; the. world . who doesn't like 
to! dress up, and the gorgeous costumes 
of the olden days offer great opportuni- 
ties for costly display. But it is equally 
certain that films of this type have, on 
the whole, been successful financially. 
Although" statistics gathered by the 
energetic"' Mr. . Roger Babson indicate 
that exhibitors still believe that the pub- 
lic doesn't * want" costume . pictures, ~the 
actual box-office' records prove other- 
wise. "." .' ■ ". "''..N 

So the production of costume dramas 
will probably continue until every pe- 
riod in* the : history of the world has been 
carefully covered. Then, perhaps, the 
silent drama will pass quietly from the 
romantic age and achieve its full 
growth. 

In the meantime, however, it's going 
to be pretty tough for the Hollywood 
barbers.

matter. The new business was so great 
that it carried the movie makers along

appetite for pictures is a bit sated. 
Waste is cutting into the profits so 
deeply that the producers, being busi-

taking steps to prevent waste.

Dust of Erin, according to Tom's Scan-

Lucille Rickscn to Have Lead 

J-»ucille Ricksen is really and truly 
grown up she says. She has been 
assigned a leading role in support of 
Jack Pickford in his new mountaineer 
picture, as yet untitled. Lucille says 
she is 16, but privately we think she's 
nearer 14. Never mind, she'll reverse 
the ratio in a few more years. Mean- 
while she's a fine little actress. 

Sympathy Wasted 

e had been feeling very sorry for 
Margaret Leahy. You know, the little 
English girl who was brought over here 
by the Talmadges. She was highly 
touted, had all sorts of publicity, but 
somehow, when it came to acting, she 
just wasn't there. Buster Keaton en- 
gaged her for his leading lady in one 
picture. Then Margaret found other 
jobs not available, and quietly she crept' 
off back home. We felt mighty sorry 
for Margaret. But we needn't have 
been. 

A copy of a staid old British news- 
paper reached Hollywood from London. 
This was what it had to say about Mar- 
garet Leahy: 

"Although no one knew of it in ad- 
vance. Margaret Leahy was in London 
yesterday incognito. Her one day's 
slay at home on her way to Paris was 
supposed to be a secret. 

"But Margaret Leahy, in England, 
cannot keep her identity a secret. When 
at Euston station she left the train 
which brought her to London after her 
enthusiastic reception at Liverpool, 
1000 people were waiting to see her. 



"Then Miss Leahy dropped into 
Giro's for lunch. No one in the club 
knew she was in the city. But as she 
passed down the floor to her table, 
luncheon parties rose and stood, out 
of courtesy to her, until she was seated. 

"For dinner, she stepped in at the Em- 
bassy club. Here, again, there had 
been no announcement. Not even a 
table was reserved for her. But the 
club staff recognized her at once and 
addressed her by name. In a few 
minutes glasses were lifted to her in 
silent toasts, whichever way she 
glanced." 

The paper said more. It told of how 
she had begged to be hidden away [at 
Murray's Club late that evening, for a 
bite of supper, and how again she was 
recognized and toasted and cheered. 
And it seems the King and Queen have ' 
commanded her presence at the pre- 
viewing of "her picture" at Bucking- 
ham palace. And wlien she gets ^to 
Paris, President Millerand is going -to 
receive her. 

After long and earnest thinking, we 
have come to the conclusion that our 
sympathy has been wasted. Hereafter 
when we have any sympathy left over 
after contemplating our own troubles, 
we're going to donate it to Will Hays. 
He needs it worse than Margaret does.

LIONEL STRONGFORT 

Dr. Sargent, of Harvard, said of me, 
"Strongfort is untiucstionably the finest 
specimen of physical development ever 
seen." 

STRONGFORTISM 

Strongfortism is the science of buoyant, 
alive, vigorous, health, developed after 
tzventy-five years of physical and health 
teaching by me. I developed myself to be 
one of the strongest and healthiest men the 
world has ever known. Dr. Sargent, of 
Harvard, said of me; "Strongfort is un- 
questionably the finest specimen of physical 
development ever seen." I did this for 
myself through natural means — nature's 
own way. For twenty-five years, I have been 
teaching others how to do the same thing 
for themselves; how to become physically 
able, without the use of pills, or dope or 
drugs of any kind; without the use of fads 
or fancy methods or expensive contraptions; 
without interfering with your occupation; 
entirely in the privacy of your own room. 
My way is the scientific way, nature's own 
way — you follow my simple, sensible in- 
structions and you will build up your 
health and restore your vitality. I guar- 
antee that I shall, accomplish all that I 
undertake.

HUM 

^reYOU 

One of 
Them? 




By the side of the road to success, the road to happiness and content- 
ment, are heaped up the soulless, bloodless, unhealthy bodies — 
human wreckage of the pace of life— the failures in the home and in 
business*— those who could not make the grade. 

ARE YOU ONE OF THEM? 

Man, Oh, Man, look yourself over! Take stock of yourself! Check 
your ailings and failings before it is too late. Don't strike the high 
road of life unfit for the happiness of home and the battle of business. 
Don't let yourself be dumped on that heap of human wreckage ! 
In all the whole wide world there is nothing so pitiable as a heart 
burning with ambition, a mind determined, but a body unwilling ; the 
saddest failures in life are those of souls fired with genius but seared 
with a despoiled body. 

BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE, AWAKE! 

Shake from your shoulders that indifference, that listlessness, that 
lack of ambition and lack of health — make yourself healthy, strong, 
vigorous and alive — be a man — a real man — a man who gets some- 
where in the world and who can go to a happy home and look his wife 
and children proudly in the eye. Do it now — before it is too late — 
Strongfortism can help you as it has thousands of others.

office attraction in America today than 
Harold Lloyd. He doesn't approach, of 
course, the serio-comic genius of Chap- 
lin, but he is a conscientious, highly 
likeable and ingenious funmaker. Right 
here let us note that, curiously, the sad- 
faced Buster Keaton, working along the 
same lines, has been wanning. This 
is an old phase of the screen, to be sure. 
The only other star who has more 
than held his own is Richard Barthel- 
mess. This earnest young actor has been 
steadily going on. His invasion of the 
costume drama has been an interesting 
one. Here is a star who turned to ro- 
mantic stuff to develop himself. He 
felt that to stick to the field of homely 
Americanism, in which he is pre- 
eminent, would be to limit himself. 
Barthelmess, we might add, is many 
degrees higher in popularity than a year 
ago. 

Lillian Gish's Position 

L/ illian Gish worked nearly all year 
in Italy on The White Sister but 
the production has not been revealed 
publicly. Her position as our foremost 
emotional actress still seems to stand 
untouched, however. Doug Fairbanks 
is still plunging on spectacles. There 
is a limit to this sort of thing, but 
apparently Fairbanks hasn't reached it 
yet. They say that The Street Singer 
will reveal a new Mary Pickford. We 
shall see. Just now her status is doubt- 
ful; her revival of Tess of the Storm 
Country wasn't such a happy thought 
after all. Norma Talmadge is slowly 
dropping backward, while Constance 
Talmadge seems to have slipped almost 
from view. On the other hand, Gloria 
Swanson, plus clothes and personality, 
has more than held her own. 

Pola Negri gained nothing by invad- 
ing America and is nowhere nearly as 
important a personage in Hollywood 
as she was in Berlin. Yet the next 
month may change all this. Pola is a 
person of high power potentiality. 
Thomas Meighan, to be honest, is get- 
ting along in life. He is reaching the 
difficult age of getting vehicles — and 
holding his followers. Jackie Coogan 
has not made any particular progress 
in the twelve months. 

Tzvo Sensational Come-Backs 

Two sensational come-backs were 
staged during the year. Mae Marsh 
gave a brilliant performance through 
much of the turgid distance of Griffith's 
The White Rose and Charlie Ray, 
after a long chain of artificial screen 
creations, came back to his hoosier boy- 
hood and did a smashing thing in The 
Girl I Love. We wouldn't be at all 
surprised to §£e Blanche Sweet do a 



real come-back in Eugene O'Neil's 
Anna Christie. 

Marion Davies' Progress 



ariox Davies has made a surpris- 
ing progress during the year. Long 
just a pretty star, Miss Davies has 
suddenly developed into an actress, as 
well as a comedienne, of distinct pos- 
sibilities. 

We credit Florence Vidor with the 
greatest personal development of the 
year. She is steadily advancing and, 
if all goes well, should soon challenge 
the historionic leadership of Lillian 
Gish. Here is an actress of charm, 
beauty and a rare humanness. Her 
Alice Adams and her Carol. Kcmiicuit 
of Main Street were superb charac- 
terizations. 

Ramon Novarro, the Rex Ingram 
discovery, made a striking flash across 
the horizon as the pagan lover of 
Where the Pavement Ends and rather 
took us off our feet. And yet, looking 
back at this distance, we aren't wholly 
convinced about Novarro. For a mo- 
ment we looked upon him as the young 
actor to challenge Valentino but we 
doubt all that now. 

Barbara La Marr was another strong 
personality to hit success during the 
year. From a minor role in The Pris- 
oner of Zenda she has stepped to star- 
dom in little over a year. A picturesque 
but not a sweeping personality. Nita 
Naldi lent picturesqueness to a role in 
Blood and Sand and immediately be- 
came popular. A colorful 'personality 
— but we now realize her limitations. 
Of more potentiality is little Mary 
Philbin, the heroine of Merry-Go- 
Round. Here is a young actress who 
may really do something worth while. 
We see nothing in that much touted 
"discovery," Eleanor Boardman. 

Leatrice Joy has been striking a very 
good average but our chosen six as to 
reliability are Baby Peggy, the Prince 
of Wales in all his news reel appear- 
ances, Farina, Mae Busch, Lois Wil- 
son and Strongheart. 

Mae Murray seems to be able to 
go on capitalizing affectation. An odd- 
ity of popularity this. 

It has been a bad year for the No. 2 
stars, such as Agnes Ayres, Bebe Dan- 
iels, Jacqueline Logan, and even wo"S2 
for .wanning. lights such as Mary Miles 
Minter and Dorothy Dalton. Other 
minor figures, such as Viola Dana, go 
along their way seemingly untouched 
by time. Yet Priscilla Dean isn't quite 
the same. 

The season's worst flops? Cecil de 
Mille's Adam's Rib and the Over- 
lordship of Will Hayes!

PLAY PIANO BY EAR 

Be a Jazz Music Master 



Anyone Who Can Remember a Tune Can Easily and Quickly Learn to Play 

Popular Jazz or American Rhythm By Ear at a Very Small Cost. The 

New Niagara Method Makes Piano Playing Wonderfully Simple. 

No matter how little you know about music — even though you "have never touched a piano" — if you can 
just remember a tune, you can quickly learn to play by ear. I have perfected an entirely new and simple 
system. It shows you so many little tricks that it just comes natural to pick out on the piano any piece you 
can hum. Beginners and even those who could not learn by the old fashioned method, grasp the Niagara idea 
readily, and follow through the entire course of twenty lessons quickly. Self-instruction — no teacher required. 
You learn many new styles of bass, syncopation, blues, fill-ins, breaks and trick endings. It's all so easy — so 
interesting that you'll be amazed. 

A Simple Secret to Success 

No need to devote years in study to learn 
piano nowadays. Special talent unneces- 
sary. Every lesson is so easy, so fas- 
cinating that you just "can't keep 
your hands off the piano." Give it 
part of your spare time for 90 days 
and you will be playing and entertaining 
almost before you realize it. No tiresome 
scales, no arpeggios to learn — no do-re-mi 
— no difficult lessons or meaningless exer- 
cises. You learn a bass accompaniment that 
applies to the songs you play. Once learned, 
you have the secret for all time — your difficul- 
ties are over and 

You Become Master of the Piano 

Even talented musicians are amazed at the rapid prog- 
ress of Niagara School students and can't understand 
why this method was not thought of years ago. Natu- 
rally, the Niagara Method is fully protected by copy- 
rights and cannot be offered by any other school. A 
special service department gives each pupil individual 
attention.

Be Popular in Every Crowd 

One who can sit down at any time without 
note? or music, reel off the latest jazz and 
popular song-hits that entertain folks, 
is always the center of attraction, the 
life of the party, sought after and in- 
vited everywhere. Make yourself the 
center of attraction — master the piano 
by spending an hour 'a day studying 
le fascinating Niagara Method. 

As easily as thousands of others have 
learned, so you, too. can learn and profit — 
not only through the pleasure it provides, 
but also by playing at dances, motion pic- 
ture houses and other entertainments. 

Decide to Begin Now ! 

Just spend a part of your spare time with a few easy, 
fascinating lessons and see how quickly you "catch on" 
and learn to play. You will he amazed, whether you 
are a beginner or an advanced student. 

Write for interesting, illustrated booklet, "The Niagara

CURIOSITY! 

Curiosity to know what 
our neighbors are doing; 
what the young married 
couple in the apartment 
next door are quarreling 
about; why the old lady on 
the next floor has tear-red- 
dened eyes; why the police- 
man on his beat wears such 
a jaunty smile of cockey 
happiness; how the pretty 
stenographer can dress so 
well on twenty-five dollars 
a week ; why the clever young 
man is failing in business ; why 
the Gardners are getting a di- 
vorce — curiosity is one of the 
. ruling passions of our lives. 

And that passion is not an evil one. 
It is a hungering after knowledge to 
use as a torch to light our own stum- 
bling feet. Maybe the others have 
learned lessons from their experiences, 
which would help us in ours. This 
stretching out of the curious, exploring 
fingers of the heart toward other hearts 
is our only means of contact. Every 
soul is bitterly lonely, for at least a 
fraction of the time. And every soul 
yearns to touch other souls, to get 
warmth from contact. 

We have gone into the business of 
wholesaling soul contacts. We believe 
you want what we are giving you — a 
magazine of real life stories, from 
which you can garner the. experience 
you crave, and by which your soul can 
touch other souls, in a satisfying, hu- 
man contact that will lift the weight 
of loneliness — and help.

That is the purpose of our 
new magazine — REAL LIFE 
STORIES. The first issue will 
be Hhe October, on sale Sep- 
tember 1 5 on all news stands. 
Twenty-five cents the copy.

and uninterruptedly. All about his new 
picture, which by the way, deals with 
the life experiences of Peggy Hopkins 
Joyce; about his trip abroad — he's still 
talking about it; and about Charles 
Spencer Chaplin. The Tatler stag- 
gered out about midnight, but the mono- 
log continued until 3 :3S the next 
morning. 

Egoism, would you say? Or artis- 
tic temperament? Or just loneliness? 
Any man that talks as interestingly as 
Charlie Chaplin and loves an audience 
as well as he does, ought to have a wife, 
sav we. 



Take Your Choice 



T: 



here seems to be a difference of 
opinion over why Evelyn Brent took 
her make-up box and left the Fairbanks 
lot. Evelyn said that she had signed 
with Doug to work in pictures, and that 
so far she had been the world's cham- 
pion rester. 

Doug said that his Thief of Bagdad 
picture had to be an airy, ethereal sort 
of picture, and that Evelyn was a bit 
too voluptuous to match the picture. 

But Dame Gossip says that Mary put 
her pretty little foot down and told Doug 
to get another leading lady. For be it 
known that Doug has an appreciative 
eye for feminine pulchritude, and Mary 
knows the weaknesses of sex. 

The same thing is said to have hap- 
pened when Doug was casting for 
Robin Hood. Marguerite de la Motte 
had been eminently satisfactory to the 
public, and to Doug, and Fairbanks ex- 
pected to retain her for Robin Hood. 
But Marguerite had been announcing 
fondly in print that all that she was 
and all she hoped to be she owed to 
Douglas Fairbanks, or words to that 
effect. So Mary changed his mind and 
picked out Enid Bennett, a lady who 
was safely in love with her own hus- 
band. 

So there's three stories. You pay 
your money and you takes your choice. 

Page Cupid 

olleen Moore and John McCormick 
were married on August 26, and Colleen 
has a platinum band next to her engage- 



ment ring of two tiny emerald sham- 
rocks with diamond centers. Emeralds 
bring Colleen luck, she says, and the 
Shamrock is her favorite flower. 



Ruth Holds Her Own 



A 



few years in serial pictures cer- 
tainly makes a gal agile. The other 
evening at the Cocoanut Grove, hun- 
dreds of brilliant balloons were released 
on the dancing floor. The game was 
to keep one's own balloon intact, while 
endeavoring to burst one's neighbor's 
balloon. 

A glorious scramble ensued. Big 
stars and little stars scurried in and 
out between the tables, hugging their 
balloons as if they were more precious 
than rubies. But Ruth Roland knew a 
trick worth two of that. She climbed 
up on a table and stayed there. And 
when the conflict ended, her pretty red 
balloon was the only one intact. 

For a prize they brought out a mon- 
key, a most inquisitive little beast. 
Ruth took him home and parked him 
in the bathroom over night. The next 
morning she sprung him on her aunt, 
who promptly fainted when the monko 
hopped onto her shoulder and wound 
his tail around her neck. It looked as 
if the little monkey was all set to enjoy 
a good home, but monko was too effer- 
vescent. After he had wrecked the con- 
tents of the china closet and a vase or 
two, Ruth turned him over to the zoo. 

Agnes Doesn't Diet 

^on't diet! Eat what you like," 
says Agnes Ayres in a recent interview. 
Agnes declares that she never diets, and 
one might well infer that this is the 
cause of her slenderness. 

Oli Agnes ! Wait until you are fair 
and forty, and watch the ounces climb ! 
Just keep on absorbing three square 
meals a day and Father Time will at- 
tend to the rest. It might be well for 
ambitious reducing specialists to take 
Miss Ayres' address for future use. 

Pauline Starke to Wed 

auline Starke is wearing a spark- 
ling square-cut diamond on the right 
finger, and blushingly admits that the 
diamond is the gift of Jack White, the 
youthful producer of Mermaid come- 
dies. When will they be married? 
Pauline isn't quite sure. 

"It's too late to be a. June bride now, 
isn't it?" queried Pauline when ques- 
tioned. "Maybe we'll decide to make 
it fifty-fifty and get married about 
Christmas time."

Admired 
By All. 



jjL RE you fat? You shouldn't be. Without rigorous dieting 
l\ or exercise — by a simple natural process — you should 

*G\ quickly and easily be able to have the slender fashionable 

figure that is so attractive. 

Scientists have discovered that excess fat is often caused by the 
subnormal action of a small gland. Once this gland is healthy and 
functioning properly, your weight should reduce naturally and without 
iffort on your part, to the normal amount for your height. 

And science has discovered a simple extract which tends to regulate 
the gland that controls fat. Without lifting a hand in unnecessary and 
violent exercise, you should find it a delightfully simple matter to have 
the ideal, slender figure admired by everyone. 

The wonderful thing about the scientific formula known as Rid-O-Fat 
is that in losing your superfluous fat you should gain added vigor, health 
and energy of mind and body. 



Feel Young — Look Young 

There is nothing which adds to a person's age so much as fat. A few 
extra pounds makes any man or woman look from five to ten years older. 
Not only that, the excess weight and increased heart action saps vitality 
and energy. 

Once the gland which controls your fat is functioning properly your 
food should be turned into firm, solid flesh and muscle. As your weight 
comes down to normal you should experience a delightful and amazing 
improvement in your appearance. You should not only feel and look 
younger — you should actually be younger. You should also be in better 
health — a real health of energy — not the fictitious and deceiving health 
of fat that insurance companies say shortens the life ten years. 

Complexion, health and figure are improved at the same time. The 
result is new vitality, magnetism and- personal charm that makes for 
■ success. Tasks once hard become easy and life worth while. 



QajSftlf RpClll'jhc Rid-O-Fat, the scientific compound comes in 
MlVam llCalllla convenient tablet form, and is practically 

fdg% EvAfciCA tasteless. You simply take one at each meal 

■^™ t * cl * IS * and bedtime. Results often surprising in 

No Starvation Dieting. ^ hi »ffi- da ys you S hou Id 

be conscious of a new feeling of energy and lightness, taking the place 
of that tired, worn-out feeling. 

Quickly as the fat gland resumes normal functioning you should lose 
weight in a healthy, normal manner. Many fat, ungainly figures are in 
this scientific manner helped to regain their normal and idealistic pro- 
portions, giving that fashionable slenderness and athletic poise. 

And all this time you live as you please. 

Nature is doing the work. No more irksome exercise — no more de- 
nying yourself of all the things you like. Take just one small, pleasant, 
Rid-O-Fat tablet after each meal. Could anything be more simple? 

Rid-O-Fat Used By 100,000 People 

Since the announcement of the wonderful Rid-O-Fat formula it has 
been used by more than 100,000 people. Twenty to thirty thousand more 
people are writing for it every month. The following letters show 
what users think of the scientific Rid-O-Fat system of fat reduction: 

Lost Forty-One Pounds In Thirty Days 

"When I wrote for your Rid-O-Fat sample I weighed 245 pounds. 
Today, which is 30 days later, I weighed only 204 pounds. A reduction 
of 41 pounds in a month. I am delighted. Please send me another 30- 
day treatment, as I want to reduce to 145 pounds, which is the correct 
weight for my height. I am sure that I will realize my ambition with 
Rid-O-Fat and I feel better than I have in years." 

Lost Twenty Pounds In Three Weeks 

"According to weight tables I weighed exactly 20 pounds too much, 
Rid-O-Fat reduced me to normal in just a little more than three weeks. 
I feel better, don't get tired, and my friends say I look like a new person." 

Generous Sample FREE 

I want every fat person to have a chance to try Rid-O-Fat in their own 
homes at my expense. I don't want them to take ray word or that of 
the thousands who have used it. I want them to see for themselves that 
the results are more pleasing than anything I can say. To introduce 
Rid-O-Fat in a million more homes I will send a free sample to anyone 
who will write for it. In fact it is really more than a sample, as it is 
sufficient to reduce the average person several pounds. I will also send 
with the sample an interesting booklet that explains the scientific reason 
for fat, and why Rid-O-Fat meets with the highest approval.

K.T is reported that elaborate experi- 
ments are being made by Thomas H. 
Lice's cameramen to get new fog effects 
for the impressive fog scene in "Anna 
Christie," Eugene O'Neill's play, which 
Mr. Ince is making. 

The old fog machines that blew a 
cloud of silver dust in front of the 
cameras have recently been discarded 
in favor of smoke pots, which give a 
good effect when used on "sets," but 
which are hardly practical for exterior 
scenes made "on location." 

The fog sequence in "Anna Christie" 
is one of the most effective scenes in 
the play. In reproducing this scene on 
the screen great care, it is said, must 
be taken to make it evident that the 
hazy, silhouetted outlines are done in- 
tentionally and are not the result of 
poor photography.

T is thought by Mary Pickford's man- 
agement that at no time in the history 
of films has a greater variety of locales 
been selected by producers than those 
which form settings for pictures soon 
to be released. Regarding this Mary 
Pickford said: "The reason' for this is 
that until a comparatively short time 
ago the majority of pictures were set in 
American locales, and naturally there 
was a tendency of the public to tire of 
such settings. Consequently producers 
are now striving for variety by seeking 
not only to get stories that are different, 
but also to place their stories in foreign 
locales. This way of obtaining a change 
can be compared to the practice of many 
persons changing the setting of their 
jewels." Miss Pickford's new picture, 
"The Street Singer," is a Spanish story 
of how a beautiful street singer ex- 
tricates herself from the clutches of a 
decadent king. 



a^-ccording to Samuel Goldwyn, 
Rex Beach and Rupert Hughes are the 
only well-known authors who under- 
stand the technique of the screen. 
Both these men direct the screen ver- 
sions of their own novels. Mr. Hughes 
has recently returned to Hollywood 
after a visit to New York, where he 
witnessed the opening of his "Souls 
for Sale," based on his novel of the 
same name, which Harpers published 
last year. 



Womanly Beauty Marred 
By Surperf luous Hair 

WOMAN'S crowning glory is her hair, but she must exercise 
care not to have it show in embarrassing places. Most efforts 
to rid milady of superfluous hair result in stronger growth, 
because only the surface hair has been removed, leaving the 
follicles to produce a more luxuriant growth just where it isn't 
wanted. 

A Safe Treatment 

It has been absolutely 
demonstrated that no strictly 
external application can ex- 
terminate the hair follicle 
(which is another name for 
the hair root) without injury 
to the tender skin where the 
objectionable hair growth 
exists. When the hair follicle 
is alive and healthy, no amount 
of purely external application 
can prevent increasing and 
coarser hair growth. AH hair 
is dependent for life upon the 
secretions of the endocrine 
glands. A deficiency of this 
gland secretion causes bald- 
ness. Kilrute Hair Destroyer 
has proven perfectly effica- 
cious in cases of superfluous 
hair growth not only by re- 
moving the hair but by its / 
power to penetrate and dry f 
up these gland secretions. \ 
The natural and inevitable 
result is starvation and death 
to the follicle which produces 
and nourishes the hair. 

Kilrute consists of a powder 
and liquid, both applied 
directly to the skin with the 
hands. It can be applied to 
the tenderest skin and may 
safely be left on over night. 
In fact it has the added fea- 
tures of a skin softener and 
beautifier. 
(A s effective for men as forwomen) 

You Owe It To Yourself 
And To Society 

There is no longer any 
need to suffer the annoyance 
and humiliation caused by 
superfluous hair growth. No 
extravagant claims are made 
for Kilrute. Kilrute will re- 
move hair safely and effec- 
tively. In some cases one 
application has given perman- 
ent relief. Discriminating 
women of refinement are dis- 
carding former methods for 
this one successful treatment 
for the elimination of un- 
sightly hair growth. You owe 
it to yourself to preserve your 
womanly charm and daint- 
iness. 

Kilrute will be sent C. O. D. 
or on receipt of $5.00 plus a 
few cents for postage.

name twisted on him, and now he's 
Wally Reid, Jr. 

J) uanita Hansen was a fairly well 
known motion picture actress before 
she interrupted her career by letting the 
drug habit get the best of her. On the 
tide of sentiment aroused by Wallace 
Reid's gallant fight and pitiful death, 
Juanita Hansen rode into the safe port 
of a gorgeous vaudeville contract. 

A crushing sorrow or a great per- 
sonal calamity causes a motion picture 
star's stock to jump. Mildred Harris, 
for instance, was a little blond ingenue 
in pictures. Nobody particularly 
noticed Mildred Harris, until she mar- 
ried Charlie Chaplin. 



.Out the public is a fickle jade. You 
can never tell just what type of sorrow 
will go over big. Rodolph Valentino 
stepped pretty lightly when he first 
broke with Famous Players-Lasky. He 
couldn't be quite sure how the public 
would take his wares. He had several 
distinct brands of sorrows to sell. First, 
he knew he was a good actor on a 
salary which did not look so big in 
Hollywood, where others not so good 
were drawing down two or three times 
as much. Second, he had been divorced 
by his pretty wife, Jean Acker, and 
then thirdly, given the very deuce of a 
time by the California authorities over 
his marriage with his true affinity, 
Natacha Rambova. An overdose of ro- 
mantic troubles, suffered by Tom Mix 
or Buck Jones, would have been fatal 
to popularity. Tears of sorrow would 
have turned to tears of mirth. But 
the romantic Italian got away with it in 
fine shape ! 

Jean Acker, strangely enough, took 
her wares to the same market and did 
pretty well, thank you. Her particular 
sorrow for sale was that Valentino 
hadn't let her in on the secret that he 
was going to become America's Sheik, 
and that she had divorced him, and that 
now the ungrateful boy didn't want her 
to use his name. She managed to head- 
line vaudeville bills throughout the 
country, in spite of the fact that she 
apparently received scant sympathy. 



O ympathy comes from devious 
sources, and, if adroitly taken advantage 
of, can be turned into most satisfyingly 
chill hard cash. Take the case of Doug- 
las Fairbanks, Jr. Subtly the public 
feels a going out of the heart toward 
this thirteen-year-old boy who has been 
reared away from his wonderful 
father's influence.

passed the Binet test and thought in 
terms of "full-face" and "profile," 
but the interviewer was nothing if not 
fair. 

Everything was going famously. 
Agnes had exhibited her butler, her 
Gallic maid, her new pup, a newer Fox 
scarf. 

"Do you use rouge, Miss Ayres?" 

Agnes mulled over that one for some- 
time, then her face was lighted with 
intelligence. The eyes snapped. Her 
round chin lifted. 

"Why," asked Agnes with gestures, 
"why paint the lily?" 

A New Theda 

JL hat famous vampess, Theda Bara, 
is far different from our fond imagin- 
ings. Theda has swept the incense 
ashes out of her home and is willing to 
let you see just what she is — a nice 
gal with a neat sense of proportion 
and of the ridiculous. 

The Chamber of Commerce points 
with pride to Conrad Nagel — who 
spends his Sundays ushering at church. 
Poor Conrad one peccadillo from him, 
and the Chamber of Commerce would 
resign in' a body. If Conrad ever took 
to blonde ladies and brunette liqueurs, 
1 can't imagine who'd be the next purity 
sign-post. Jack Holt, perhaps.

delightful piece of hokum that is 
hooted here is this "nationality" stuff. 
A certain star with blue-black hair 
and the orbs of Esther, claims she is 
Spanish. You almost believe it un- 
til you hear the rich tongue of the 
Talmud from her mama's lips. Then 
you recall that Madrid types are often 
1 loiules with violet eyes. 

Why doesn't someone step forward 
and claim Lapland as her birthplace? 
You can't expect the Latin countries 
to born all the movie stars. 

Eight Yards of Books!

"George Sand? Of course, I know 
George Sand. He used to go to school

because we render sincere service at 
a "square price." 

It is our privilege to prove the old

generally applies to ONE ROOM in 
a 300-room unit.. We wish to go on 
record that the BROADWAY-CLAR- 
IDGE HOTEL has 100 rooms and 
baths for $3.50. This does not mean 
that the rooms are cheap. It is 
simply corking good value. 



Now making yearly leases at 
moderate rentals. 

We are desirous of catering to the 
right kind of people and assuring 
them of a hearty personal welcome. 
There is NO CHANGE OP POLICY,

warm personal greeting and welcome

Vim, Vigor and Vitality 
In "African Bark" 

Scientist Produces an Invigorator 
Superior to Gland Treatments- 
Wonderful Power of Bark 
From Africa. 



Have you lost your youth, vigor and "pep"? 
Does life seem dull and work a grind? Don't 
worry. Science has produced a new formula 
said to be superior even to the- much discussed 
gland treatments. Many men and women are 
now quickly and easily regaining lost vim, vigor 
and vitality in the privacy of their homes. 

The principal ingredient is an extract from 
the bark of an African tree. It is said to he 
a most remarkable invigorator. Combined with 
it are other efficient tonic and vitalizng ele- 
ments of proved merit. In many cases the 
compound produces marked improvement in 24 
hours. In a short time the vitality is usually 
raised, the circulation improved and the glow 
of health is felt in every part. 

The laboratories producing this new vital- 
ize^ which is called Re-Bild-Tabs, are so con- 
fident of its power that they offer new cus- 
tomers a large $2 supply for only $1 and 
?uarantce to refund the money if the remedy 
ails to give results in one week. 

Any reader of this paper may test the treat- 
ment without risk. Send no money, but just 
your name and address, to the Re-Bild Labora- 
tories, 458 Gateway Station, Kansas City, Mo., 
and a full $2 treatment of Re-Bild Tabs will 
be mailed. On delivery, pay the postman only 
$1 and postage. If not delighted with the re- 
sults, notify the laboratories and your monev 
will be refunded in full. Do not hesitate about 
accepting this offer, as it is fu lly guaranteed.

Rodolph Valentino and Marriage 



(Continued from page 24) 



fight — has been against "Sheik stuff." 
Does she care when crowds of 



People laugh when you talk about ideals 
in this business. They think you are 



women mob her husband every time crazy. They say the public doesn't 



he appears in public ? 
she's used to it. 



No, she doesn't ; 



The Inconvenience of Popularity 

JL t only means that he is popular 
on the screen. Sometimes it is incon- 
venient. When we were on tour, the 
children used to crowd around the 
private car and try to look through the 
windows while we were eating break- 
fast. We had to pull down the shades 
and stuff towels in the cracks. I sup- 
pose you can't blame the children. 
Private cars aren't an everyday occur- 
rence in small towns. It must have 
been just like a circus to them. 

"But in most of his pictures, Ro- 
dolph has been a false personality. 
People have the wrong idea about him. 
In 'The Sheik,' for instance, he was 
an impossible sort of man. No wonder 
the men took a dislike to him. As soon 
as people hear him talk, they change 
their minds about him. They forget 
all the ridiculous and impossible things 
they have read about him." 

No Secret of Matrimonial Success 



want good pictures. How do they 
know ? Have they ever tried making 
them ? 

A Pretty Woman zvith an Idea 



nd the secret of the success of their 
marriage ? 

"There is none. You can't speak 
about marriage in generalities. Of 
course, Rodolph and I have the same 
interests. Perhaps this fight — this law- 
suit — has brought us closer together. 
We both believe in the independence 
of the artist. Yes, and in the dignity 
of the artist, too. The whole tangle 
has been inconvenient but it hasn't been 
exactly hard because we know we are 
right. 

"If Rodolph had simply been an at- 
tractive man with a certain charm for 
women, it would have been easy to 
replace him. But it hasn't been so easy 
to find another Valentino, has it? 

"The movie fans will learn that suc- 
cess — permanent success — isn't a ques- 
tion of luck and a good-looking face. 



hen Rodolph begins working 
on his new pictures for Ritz Carlton, \ 
he's going to make good pictures. 
And I believe the public will like them. 
And then, we'll know that it has been 
worth all the trouble and all the fights." 
Substitute the small, blonde Mary 
Pickford for the tall, dark Mrs. Val- 
entino and you have the same argu- 
ments that launched Douglas and Mary 
on their career as independent artists. 
Mary, stubborn and contrary, also 
fought her way through lawsuits and 
matrimonial difficulties. A pretty 
woman with an idea firmly fixed in her 
mind can baffle strong men. 

Nataclia Like Mary Pickford 

■O esides their stubbornness, Mary 
Pickford and Mrs. Valentino have 
another trait in common. They have a 
sense of humor. They can laugh at their 
husband's jokes and at the grotesque 
comedy of the rest of the world. They 
are experts at discovering the silver 
lining and at making the best of bad 
situations. The dancing tour may have 
been bad in many ways, but it made 
new friends for Rodolph. The law- 
suit was disagreeable but it has proved 
to the public that Rodolph has the 
courage of his convictions. The more 
adventures that befall you in marriage, 
the less possibility is there that mar- 
riage will suddenly turn dull and stale. 
And marriage can weather many storms 
but it can't stand a long period of 
calm. Just ask the man who has mar- 
ried a placid wife! 

Will H. Hays is fond of urging con- 
fidence and co-operation on the pro- 
ducers. The Valentinos, unlike the 
producers, have taken the motto 1 
seriously and lived up to it. And look 
at the trouble they've started !

I Have Found Out 

How to Get Rid of 

Superfluous Hair 

At Once 

Here f s the Secret 

I had become utterly discouraged 
with a heavy growth of hair on my 
face and lip. I had tried every sort 
of depilatory and electrolysis and 
even a razor. But I couldn't get 
rid of it. 

Then I made awon- 
derful discovery. I 
found a simple 
method by which I 
I removed the hair at 
' once and most won- 
derful to relate, it 
keeps the hair re- 
moved. My face is 
now as smooth as a 
baby's, not only free 
from superflu- 
ous hair but 
from pimples 
and blemishes. 
I have explained 
this discovery 
to thousands of 
women who 
have had the 
same exper- 
ience with it 
_, that I had

had long since seen its best days, but 
somehow Davies always managed to 
pull it together for just one more trip. 
So here he was, helping with the stage 
scenery for our Act. tending to the 
Radio outfit, flying off for popcorn for 
our small white mouse, — an important 
member of the cast, — paying for our 
lunches and being general handy man. 

A Great Party, Girlie 

e were all excited. So much was 
at stake besides the mere retreiving of 
our battered fortunes. The local man- 
ager was lovely to us, in fact, he quite 
showered us with attentions. Pat was 
suspicious, but I laughed at her. My 
motto is to love everyone, and to be 
willing to take as well as to give. But 
at the last performance, he became en- 
tirely too friendly. One after another 
of his friends kept coming into the 
stage entrance, standing in the wings, 
and trying to chat with us. In the end, 
he invited us all to a grand party in his 
home. Said he had some good old 
vintages, etc., etc., that it was the cus- 
tom of the road, and he would be able 
to insure us return booking, etc., etc. 

And now out of the blue stepped forth 
friend Davies with plenty of plain and 
unvarnished words, mentally dealt him 
a knock-out, and carried us all oft", bag 
and baggage, homeward bound. 

"Hurrah for Davies, Long may he 
wave." 



He'll Use a Double Next Time 

J ohn Bowers used to scoff at doubles. 
His trick stuff he did himself, by 
Gorry. But now he's willing to admit 
that there are time when doubles are 
advisable. John has the leading role 
in the western picture, When a Man's a 
Man, and in it he is supposed to bull- 
dog a steer. Several cowboys from 
Prescott, Ariz., offered to double for 
him but Jawn waved them aside with 
a superb gesture. The next gesture he 
made didn't carry quite so much dignity, 
for poor John's left foot caught in the 
stirrup, his body was thrown too far 
toward the steer he was pursuing to 
maintain his balance, and he fell and 
was dragged by his horse. . 

Hozv Come, Mickey? 



arshali. Neilan plays a part in 
Edward Dillon's picture, Broadway 
Gold. He appears dragging a baby 
carriage, which may or may not make 
him a leading man. Edward Dillon 
returns the compliment by appearing in 
Neilan's Eternal Three. What are they 
doing, trying to get even with each 
other for something? However, it is 
the public which pays and pays and 
pays, and then has to suffer !

If you were dying 

■ • mm Jt_ ■ and T offered yoti something 

Tf^WllI CF Jr"%T that would add ten 
* ,, - r * **&***• your life, would you take it? 
You'd grab it. Well, fellows, I've got it. but. don't 
wait till you're dying or it won't do you a bit of 
good. It will then be too late. Now is the time. To- 
morrow, or any day some disease will get you and if 
you have not equipped yourself to fight it off. you're 
gone. I am not a medical doctor, but I'll put you in 
such condition that the doctor will starve to death 
waiting for you to take sick. Can you imagine a 
mosquito trying to bite a brick wall? A fine chance? 

A REBUILT MAN 

I like to get the weak ones. I delight. In getting 
a man who has been turned down as hopeless by 
others. It's easy enough to finish a task that's 
more than half done.' But give me the weak, sickly 
chap and watch him grow stronger. That's what I 
like. It's fun to me because I know 1 can do it. I 
don't just give you a veneer of muscle that looks good 
to others. I work on you both inside and out. I 
not only put big, massive arms and legs on you but 
I build up those inner muscles that surround your 
vita! organs — the kind that give you real pep and 
energy, that fire you with ambition and the courage 
to tackle anything set before you. 

ALL I ASK IS NINETY DAYS 

I'll put one full inch on your arm in just 30 days. 
Yes, and two full indies on your chest in the same 
length of time. Meanwhile, I'm putting pep into 
your old back-bone. And from then on. just watch 
'em grow. At the end of thirty days you won't know 
yourself. Your whole body will take on an entirely 
different appearance. But you've only started. 
Now comes the real works. I've only built my foun- 
dation. I want just 60 days more (00 in all) and 
you'll make those friends of yours that think they're 
strong look like something the cat dragged in. 

A REAL MAN 

When I'm through, you're a real man. The kind 
that can prove it. You will be able to do things that 
you had thought impossible. Your deep full chest 
breathes In rich pure air, stimulating your blood and 
making you just bubble over with vim and viltallty. 
Your huge, square shoulders and your massive mus- 
cular arms have that craving for the exercise of a 
regular he man. You have the Hash to your eye and 
the pep to your step that will make you admired and 
sought after in both the business and social world. 

This is no idle prattle, fellows. If you doubt me, 
make me prove it. Go ahead. I like it. I have 
already done this for thousands of others and my 
records are unchallenged. What I have done for 
them, I will do for you. Come then, for time flics

ginning of new life for you. SEND FOR MY BOOK

The Movies? Mr. Gallagher? 
Absolutely! Mr. Shean! 



(Continued from Page 47) 

Luncheon on ' the Roof 

R. Gallagher and Mr. Shean 
smiled pleasantly. They thought we 
were mad and suggested luncheon. It 
was brought to all of us on the roof 
and our spirits rose immediately, after 
the consumption of a ham and egg 
sandwich, coffee in a container and 
some chocolate almonds. Only the 
"hound dogs" teased nearly all of ours 
away from us. There is one thing we 
cannot resist and that is the reproach- 
ful eyes of a great Dane. "How melan- 
choly he looks," we exclaimed to the 
camera man, "you should call him 
Hamlet." 

"We should," retorted the C. M., 
"but we call him Ophelia, instead. 
That one is Hamlet and that little one 
is Hans." 

"Why do you call him Hans ?" 

"Let me tell it," interrupted little 
Mr. Shean. "It's a good one. We call 
him Hans because he is 'the blue eyed 
Dane.' Isn't that a good one " • 

And sure enough Hans' eyes are 
bright blue. The first Great Dane we 
ever saw with azure orbs ; and we used 
to be kennel editor of the Tribune 
before we went into the dramatic de- 
partment and began to write about ac- 
tors. These beautiful canines, which 
will take prominent parts in Around 
the Town ivith Gallagher and Shean, 
are from the kennels of Francis X. 
Bushman ; he has bred many champions. 
Hans is picturesque, but he is only 
three months old and he likes to play 



better than he does to work. His idea 
of a corking good time is to leap on 
you when you're not expecting it and 
hurl you to the mat. Hamlet and 
Ophelia are the two seen in the picture 
nearest the center. They are the ones 
wearing kegs around their necks. The 
kegs are empty! On the left is Mr. 
Gallagher and on the right is Mr. Shean. 

Comedv Detectives 



ut on the set away from the of- 
fices of the "world's greatest detec- 
tives," we detected Alan Hale, Lucy 
Fox and Arthur Houseman. 

"What are they doing here?" 

"Oh, yes," answered Mr. Shean. 
"There are really two stories in this 
picture." 

"A love story and a detective story," 
added Mr. Gallagher. 

"And the two never meet," continued 
Mr. Shean. "You see, we are hired 
to find the girl, Lucy Fox." 

"Who iias been stolen by the villain, 
Alan Hale" — 

"Is pursued by her lover, Arthur 
Houseman" — 

"And we go all over the world on 
all sorts of adventures." This is Mr. 
Gallagher talking now. "And never 
once come anywhere near the girl." 

"How true to life," we ejaculated. 
"This scenario writer certainly has held 
the mirror up to nature !" 

Again the two versifiers smiled at 
us pleasantly. They have a way of 
saying exactly what they mean and of 
not understanding people who speak in 
bitterness.

Bis Beautiful Woman *Y0U 

It is natural to be beautiful. Every woman is by 

nature beautiful. Only when artificial influencesinterfere 

does the human body, Nature's most beautiful product, 

lose its grace, slenderness, or symmetry. The delicious 

foods of our modern civilization are so tempting that 

one eats too much. Machinery does so much of our 

work that we exercise too little. The result of this of 

rse, is disfiguring fat— yet underneath every stout 

fleshy figure lies the lovely slender figure that is 

yours — the beautiful woman that is you.

roids, which neutralizes sugars and star- 
ches taken into the stomach and prevents 
them from forming into fat. His marvelous 
prescription, Neutroids, has been pre- 
scribed for more than two years to the

Kills Catarrh Germs 
In Three Minutes 

Wonderful French Discovery Succeeds 
After Everything Else Has Failed 



Thousands who have suffered from catarrh, 
head noises, difficult breathing, hawking, etc., 
and who have tried everything without success, 
say that the famous new scientific discovery 
Lavex rid them of their troubles in a few days. 
Many say they had no further trouble after the 
first three minutes of treatment. 

. Lavex ' is a French discovery, easily used by 
simply inhaling a pleasant, harmless powder, 
which tends to hill the catarrh germs almost 
instantly. The results are astonishing in their 
rapidity. For instance Rev. J. F. Stephens, a 
widely known preacher, says, "I had suffered 
from catarrh for years and my doctor said there 
was no i cure. Had to quit preaching as a 
Methodist Minister. After using Lavex I can 
sleep and. eat well, voice is Hear, can walk or 
run or work as well as I could twenty years 
ago and I am now sixty-nine." 

So confident is W. R. Smith, 758 Lavex Bldg., 
Kansas City., Mo., American distributor of La- 
vex, that it will rid you of all your catarrh 
troubles, in no time at all, that he generously 
offers to send a ten-day treatment on free trial. 
It obligates you in no way and comes to you in 
plain wrapper, postpaid; therefore you should 
accept this introductory offer today by simply 
sending your name and address to Mr. Smith.

knickers, belted coats, and two-toned 
sports shoes for the boys. At one time 
a girl appeared on a tennis court in 
sweater, skirt, and low-heeled shoes. 
She was frowned down, laughed at, 
by those who know. She never realized 
that low-heels were her undoing. Girls, 
profit by her mistake. 

A riding habit must be included in 
your wardrobe for week-ends. You 
don this for tea. It is hardly, the 
thing, however, to be seen on a 
horse. 



Family Dinners 



u 



SUALLY given on the occasion of 
Dad and Mother's wedding anniversary. 
All children and grandchildren should 
be present, also food in large quanti- 
ties. The children should just be them- 
selves. The baby must not neglect to 
smear its face with jam. It is not 
amiss for one of the little ones to spill 
the stew on Grandma's new silk' dress. 
One of the sons-in-law must balance 
peas on his knife while the rest of the 
company exchange nudges. A toast by 
the eldest son is always in good form : 
"Mother — God bless her." Mother, at 
this point, must not neglect to dab at 
her eyes. 

Carnival Time in Venice 

JLs attended largely by wives. You 
should not go with your husband — leave 
him, and the Jiild, at home. Go off in 
a gondola and enjoy yourself. Just 
before returning home assume an in- 
jured expression. You will need it 
for the reckoning scene. This, never 
ends tragically if you conduct yourself 
in the proper manner. Throw your- 
self upon a divan while your husband 
stands over you in a threatening atti- 
tude. Just then sonny will patter in in 
his little night-things and everything 
will be all right. ■■

The Errant Wife 

fter months and months of neglect, 
you may decide that your husband 
cares no longer. The thing to do then 
is to don a duster and a little hat with 
a veil. Never depart except at night, 
and by no means forget to write the 
letter. The form letter follows : 

Dear Husband : 

I am going away. Do not try 
to find me, as you will not succeed. 
May you never know the unhappiness 
you have caused me. Goodbye. 

Your Loving Wife. 

If you have a butler, give the letter 
to him. Otherwise prop it against the 
reading lamp. 

For Girls Leaving Home 

e do not recommend this course of 
action unreservedly, but at times it 
seems to be the best tiling to do. Select 
a stormy night — snow storm is to be 
preferred, but a thunder storm is almost 
as good. Never wear a hat, but fling 
your cape about you before going out 
into the night. Carry your clothes in 
a bundle or a box. Before leaving, 
pause before your parents' door and 
stretch out your arms. You may even 
lean against the door and sob, but be 
careful not to wake them. Once out- 
side, do not neglect to turn back and 
stretch out your arms again. After 
that the storm will have everything its 
own way.

little immigrant heroine and Bryant 
Washburn for the stalwart hero. They 
needed a mother, and they chose Rosa 
Rosanova. They didn't realize they 
were choosing her for the star, but 
they were. 

Madame Rosanova, with all the 
wealth of her stage training, both in 
America and in Russia, endowed her 
small part with such pathos and feeling 
that the director enlarged her part, 
wrote in more scenes for her — in 
fact, gave her the picture. The love 
interest ? Superbly handled, particu- 
larly by Helen Ferguson. Yet Mine. 
Rosanova overtopped everything. 

He Stole His Chance 

ears ago Charles Ray was griev- 
ing his boy heart out over the fact 
that he couldn't get a chance to show 
his ability. He was an actor — he knew 
it. But, in tiny, unimportant roles, 
how could he prove it? 

Fate finally smiled upon Ray. She 
gave him the role of the son in The 
Coward, in which Frank Keenan was 
the star. It was a story of the Civil 
War, revealing the suffering of a proud 
old man wh6 sees his son lacking in 
courage. Keenan had the "fat part." 
Or he thought he did — until Charles 
Ray took it away from him by sheer 
force of fine acting. Ray was made 
overnight ! 

Other Famous Screen Thefts 

II here are at least two other famous 
cases of celluloid grand larceny. Re- 
member how Theda Bara first flashed 
across the film horizon? It was in a 
small role with Nance O'Neill in The 
Kreutser Sonata. Miss O'Neill was 
the star — until the picture appeared. 
Miss Bara's hit led immediately to 
the vampire role in A Fool There Was. 

The other famous instance centered 
about Florence Vidor. She appeared 
in a tiny role in A Tale of Tzvo Cities 
with William Farnum. It was such 
a minor character that she wasn't even 
listed in the cast. But the audiences 
centered their interest upon "the girl in 
the tumbril" and she was lifted to in- 
stant fame. 

Richard Barthelmess, too, ran away 
with a lot of pictures before Griffith 
noticed him and made him a star. Re- 
member how he galloped away off with 
Marguerite Clark's series of Bab 
stories? And how Thomas Meighan 
slipped away with many a picture before 
he was advanced to stardom? 



The Most Famous Case of Theft 



aciiT here we should list the one 
supreme case of silversheet grand 
larceny. We refer to the immortal 
theft of The Kid from Charlie Chap- 
lin. And the gay little bandit was no 
other than Jackie Coogan. 

Chaplin realized that the comedy 
would make Jackie. He told everyone 
sc in advance. But Chaplin is a great 
genius of the screen; fearless and un- 
afraid of competition. Besides, Charlie 
had come to love little Jackie. So his 
generosity went at least half way into 
the making of a comedy classic. And, 
of course, it lifted Jackie to supreme 
popularity. 



Rudie Was Notorious Bandit 



I 



t wasn't any unusual thing for Ro- 
dolph Valentino to steal a picture away 
from the star. It was his usual pro- 
cedure. After his sensational success 
in The Four Horsemen and The Sheik, 
every feminine star on the Lasky lot 
would have given a week's salary to 
have Rudie for her leading man. But 
after they got him, and saw with tears 
how neatly he took the picture away 
from them, they would have given twice 
the sum to hear of his swift demise. 

Dorothy Dalton was starred in Moran 
of the Lady Letty. I'm telling you 
that here, because otherwise you might 
never have known it. The canny ex- 
hibitors just sort of neglected to men- 
tion Dorothy Dalton's name in the bill- 
ing, and blazoned Valentino's name in 
electric lights. Or if they had over- 
developed consciences, they announced, 

RODOLPH VALENTINO 

in 

MORAN OF THE LADY LETTY 

with 

Dorothy Dalton. 

Beware of Hackathorne 

^ne of the best little stealers of 
pictures these days is young George 
Hackathorne, who suggests the Bobbie 
Harron and the Henry B. Walthall of 
younger days. Hackathorne has been 
running away with a lot of fil-ems 
lately. Doubtless you have noticed his 
hits in Mcrry-Go-Round and Human 
Wreckage. He certainly ran away with 
the individual success of Mrs. Reid's 
propaganda production. 

Another character player, Dial Pat- 
terson, stood out of one or two of 
Richard Barthelmess' pictures this year. 
Remember her bit in "The Seventh

Is the Screen Afraid of Sex? 



(Continued fr 
Whereupon Madame pointed out 
that there are two ways of looking at 
sex. Much like the opposing points 
of view of two persons who might he 
discussing it. One of these persons 
will say "Sex" and will mean innuendo, 
sensuality, peep-holes and a cartooning 
of the vital instincts which are as 
true and as necessary and should be 
as frankly and normally treated as the 
equally necessary functions of food 
and sleep. 

Another person will say "Sex" and 
will mean frankly what he says, the 
creative functioning going on from 
the amoeba to the heirs of the First 
Man. 

Strike at Morbid Curiosity ' • 



om page 37) 
cally. is not afraid. 

Instead of telling us that innocent 
little Daisy Dimple "went wrong" in 
order to pay dear, old mother's bills 
at the hospital or to buy her little lame 
brother a wheeled chair we should see 
the 'orrid truth about little Daisy, with 
the always inevitable consequences one 
way or another. 



I 



No Lession Taught by Sex Evasion 



I 



t is this last, frank, revealatory 
aspect of sex which Madame declares 
the screen fears. 

The screen should have on orgy of 
such sex material. 

Rend the skirts from the piano legs 
and deal morbid curiosity its death- 
blow. Or else dispense with it 
altogether. Abandon innuendo. 

Provocative pandering with sensu- 
ality is the danger-point. And it is 
this parody of the organic functioning 
of sex of which the screen, paradoxi- 



nstead of witnessing a cinema flapper 
entering an anomalous road house to 
the lilting strains of jazz never to reap- 
pear quite as she went in, but ever after, 
haloed with pensive peplum of pain 
we should be called upon to observe by 
what processes nature arrives at this 
sickly conclusion. 

No lesson is taught by an evasion of 
fact. 

It is the fact of sex which the screen 
shuns. 

It is the fiction of sex with which, 
constantly, it whets the appetite of 
curiosity-mongers and half-feeds the 
amorous appetites of the audiences. 

Once tell the truth about sex on the 
screen and there will be neither curi- 
osity nor fear. 

Thus spake Petrova. 



Grand Larceny 

(Continued from page 102) 



Day"? With half a chance Miss Pat- 
terson will burn up the celluloid. 

Watch for Sid Chaplin 

idmebody once said that the only 
rival Charlie Chaplin has in comedy is 
his brother, Sid. Perhaps you think the 
statement is exaggerated. Charlie has 
kept Sid so busy being his manager 
that Sid has had little opportunity to 
display his talents. You remember him, 
perhaps, as the neighbor whose derby 
hat is used as a casing for a plum pud- 
ding in The Pilgrim. 

The wise ones in Hollywood are say- 
ing that Sid Chaplin, is purloining 

» Marshall Neilan's picture, The Ren- 
dezvous. It is a Russian picture, writ- 
ten by Madeleine Ruthven, and Sid 

^ affords the comedy relief as a British 
soldier. He looks as if- he had been 
lifted bodily from The Better 'Ole. 
Certain it is that Sid is contributing 
some rip-roaring comedy to an other- 
wise sombre story. 



Watch for Moses 



I 



T seems highly irreverent to accuse so 
venerable a figure as Moses of stealing 



a picture, but that is what he appears 
to be doing. Theodore Roberts is a 
dominant figure in any scene. In fact 
his little playmates on the screen assert 
plaintively that he is too dominant, that 
he is too apt- to rub his famous nose 
or chew his equally famous cigar 
while they "have the scene." 

But as Moses, in The Ten Command- 
ments, Roberts is doing some remark- 
able work that stands head and should- 
ers above the acting of the other 
members of a fine cast, it is said. An- 
other triumph of brawn over beauty ! 

Barbara LaMarr fairly wrested her 
stardom from the reluctant hands of 
producers. They frowned upon her, 
because she would not bind herself 
with a long-term contract. But when 
they saw exhibitors feature the name 
of Barbara LaMarr over other mem- 
bers of the cast, in The Hero and Poor 
Men's Wives, they saw a great light. 
Everything Barbara achieved, she 
helped herself to. But now she is in 
such demand that she works in three 
pictures at one time. And dividing 
her energies thus, children, how many 
of those three pictures will Barbara 
steal? Quite right, Bobby, she won't 
steal any.

Does Gloria Believe It Herself 



{Continued from page 30) 



Just a Middle-Western Gal? 

Jo ut she did it very well. Behind her 
Benda mask— her curious eyes and the 
mouth that has been called mysterious 
—is there just a good business woman 
from the middle- west? 

There have been whispers that Gloria 
had become temperamental. That she 
carried her emotions around with her, 
in and out of focus.- Zasa, went the 
whispers, is such a darned emotional 
part that it- can hardly be played two 
days in succession. 

I watched and waited for an outburst. 
I have wasted precious hours in stu- 
dios hoping for a display of tempera- 
ment. I have never seen one. It was 
always just the day before that Elsie 
Ferguson threw something at someone. 



Stars and Their Temperament 



I 



have heard that Blanche Sweet, in 
a justifiable irritation, cleared the top 
of a dressing table of its contents. That 
Mary Pickford once retired weeping to 
her dressing room because Marshall 
Neilan, then her director, gave her a 
good talking-to. But I am always a day 
too late. Perhaps, if I had taken Miss 
Swanson quietly aside and told her just 
how I felt about it, she would have 
given us something to talk about. As 
it was, she spoke of such things as the 
modern woman. 



thing in her arms; followed various 
attendants. The parade proceeded to 
the throne. Zasa held out sparkling 
arms. 



it 



Gloria and the Modern Flapper 

v3 he is. much abused. I believe she 
is more wholesome than her mother or 
grandmother. . The things they longed 
to do and dared not, she does naturally. 
She is herself. Her cigarettes, her 
passion for Jazz and speed, are simply ; 
little symbols of her : Urge for expres- 
sion. I see the psychology of it— one 
of the: results of war 1: Women had 
faith, and waited and prayed for their 
sons, sweethearts, husbands, brothers, 
who often did not come back. Now 
they have felt the reaction. They have 
lost some of that faith. They seek 
relief in action. And she is none the 
worse for it, that I can see." 

It was then that what seemed to be 
a small parade passed through the set. 
Everyone waited — -if not with bared 
heads, still with bated breath. Came 
a correct nurse, shearing a white, fluffy 



The Swanson Baby 



Ly baby," she cried. 

It was just like a scene from a play. 
1 expected director Dwan to call 
"Camera" at any moment. And the 
sub-title would read, "The great actress 
paused in her make-believe and became 
— just a mother." 

Gloria the Second was made to stand 
upon a chair. She surveyed the ador- 
ing group about her and. ducked her 
head. 

"What," . asked Gloria the First, 
"does my baby think of mother all 
dressed up like this?" 

Her baby looked at mother and made 
no answer. 

"Adorable !" gurgled the group. 

Gloria II Is Two Years Old 

- JL he LiTTi.R Swanson-Somborn is 
about two years old now. She has eyes 
like her mother's as to color, but they are 
not in the least oriental— yet. Th ev 
are just wide, infant's eyes. She has 
a mouth, and a nose, and light hair. 
It may have been an off day in the 
nursery, but it did seem that Gloria II 
was a bit bored with it all. Her life 
is practically her own. She never poses 
for publication. Her mother believes 
a baby's place is in the home; that if 
Gloria wants publicity when she's old 
enough to know . her own mind, she 
shall have it, but not before. 

"She's been crying all day," remarked 
her nurse. 

"A-a-ah," murmured the sympathetic 
group; ; ; >f v — : ':'•'' 

• Living in Norma' s House 

JL. he Swansons are installed in the 
house at Bayside, Long Island, which 
belonged to Norma Talmadge and Joe 
Schenck. : After the Swanson place in 
California, it is probably 7 little more 
than a rude shelter. But Gloria and 
little Gloria must put tip with it for 
two more pictures. The next, to fol- 
low Zasa will be a costume affair. 
. Red on the eyelids; by the- way, is 
a detaiL of the Swanson make-up. It 
helps to give her eyes that inscrutable 
expression which has innocently caused 
so many of our home girls to acquire 
lasting squints.

JlongSought Secret Vital to 
Jhppittess,/fasBeen Discovered. 

/His! t'lui! spring should vanish with the rose! 
That youth's swccl-scented manuscript should close! 

■ — Omar Khayyam. 



A SECRET vital to human happiness has been, dis- 
covered. An ancient problem which, sooner or 
later, affects the welfare of virtually every man 
and woman, has been solved. As this problem undoubt- 
edly will come to you eventually, if it has not come 
already, 1 urge you to. read this article carefully. It may 
give you information of a value beyond, all price. 

This newly-revealed secret is not a new "philosophy" . 
of financial success. It is not a political panacea. It has 
to do with something-- of far 'greater moment, to the indi- 
vidual — success and happiness in love and marriage — and 
there is nothing theoretical, imaginative or fantastic about 
itj~ because it comes from the coldly exact realms of 
science, and its „value has been proved. It "works." And 
because it does work — surely, speedily arid most delight- 
fully — it is one of the most important discoveries made 
in many years.' Thousands already bless it for having 
rescued them from lives of disappointment and misery. 
Millions will rejoice because of it in years to come. 

The peculiar value of this discovery is that it removes 
physical handicaps which, in the past, have been con- 
sidered inevitable and irremediable. I refer to the loss 
of youthful animation and a waning of the vital forces. 
These difficulties have caused untold unhappiness — fail- 
ures, shattered romances, mysterious divorces. True 
happiness does not depend on wealth, position or fame. 
Primarily, it is a matter of health. Not the inefficient, 
"half-alive" condition which ordinarily passes as "health," 
but the abundant, vibrant, magnetic vitality of superb 
manhood and womanhood. 





- Unfortunately, this kind of health is rare. Our civili- 
zation, with its wear and tear, rapidly depletes the organ- . 
ism, and, in a physical sense, old age comes on when life 
should be at its prime. 

But this is not a tragedy of our era alone. Ages ago 
a Persian poet, in the world's most melodious epic of 
pessimism, voiced humanity's immemorial complaint that 
"spring should vanish with the rose" and the song of 
youth too soon come to an end. And for centuries before 
.Omar Khayyam wrote his immortal verses, science had 
searched— and in the centuries that have passed since 
then has continued to .search— without halt, for the 
fabled "fountain of youth," an infallible method of 
renewing energy Tost or depleted by disease, overwork, 
worry, excesses or advancing age. ... 

Now the long search has been rewarded. .A "fountain 
of youth" has been found! Science announces uncondi- 
tionally that youthful vigor can be restored quickly and 
safely. Lives clouded by weakness can be illumined by 
the sunlight of health and joy. Old age, in a sense, can 
be kept at bay and youth made more glorious than ever. 
And the discovery which makes these amazing results 
possible is something any man or woman, young or old, 
can easily use in the privacy of the home, unknown to 
relative, friend or acquaintance. 

• The discovery had its origin in famous European 
laboratories. Brought to America, it was developed into 
a product that has given most remarkable results in 
thousands of cases, many of which had defied all other 
treatments. In scientific circles the discovery has been 
known and used for several years and has caused un- 
bounded amazement by its quick, harmless, gratifying- 
action. Now, in convenient tablet form, under the name 
of Korex compound, it is available to the general public. 

Anyone who finds the youthful stamina ebbing, life 
losing its charm and .color or the feebleness of old age 
coining on too soon, can obtain a double-strength treat- 
ment of this compound, sufficient for ordinary cases, 
under a positive guarantee that it costs nothing if it fails 
and only $2 if it produces prompt and gratifying results 
In average cases, the compound often brings about amaz- 
ing benefits in from twenty- four to forty-eight hours. 

Simply write in confidence to the Melton Laboratories, 
818 Melton Bldg., Kansas City, Mo., and this won-, 
der .restorative will be mailed to you in a plain wrapper. 
You may enclose $2 or, if you prefer, just send your name 
without money and pay the postman $2 and postage when/J 
the parcel is delivered. In either case; if your report aftertl 
a week that the Korex compound has not given satis- 
factory results, your money will be refunded immediately. 
The Melton Laboratories, are nationally known and thor- 
oughly reliable.; Moreover, their offer is fully guaranteed, 
so no pne need: hesitate to accept it. If you need this re- 
markable scientific rejuvenator, write for it today.

"And you can study under my personal 
direction right in your own home. " 



FEW people living outside of New York, 
Chicago or the great European capitals have 
the opportunity to study dancing with any of 
the really great masters. And the private, personal 



instructions of even average 
teachers range upward from 
ten dollars an hour. 
But now, the famous Sergei 
MarinoS has worked out a 
system of home instruction. 
You can learn classic dancing 
in all its forms — interpretive, 
Russian, ballet, aesthetic, Greek 
— at a mere fraction of the cost 
of lessons in the studio. 

A Fascinating Way 
to Learn 

It is so easy and so delightful. Just 
put the record on the phono- 



FREE 



'Dancing Costume, 'Phonograph 
'Records, Complete Studio Outfit 

A dainty costume designed so as to 
permit free use of the limbs, ballet 
slippers, everything you need to help 
you with your lessons comes FREE 
with the course. Simple charts and 
beautiful photographs illustrate 
every lesson while phonograph rec- 
ords and simply worded text teach 
the essential points of technique. 
You can learn to dance, as you have 
always longed to dance; and your 
lessons will be pleasant and easy. 



graph, slip in to the dainty little dancing costume (fur* 
nished free with Course) and you are ready to start. 

And guided by the charts, the photographs of MarinoS stu- 
dents and the easy text, you master the technique of the dance. 

Charm and Grace 

The natural beauty of the body is de- 
veloped, an exquisite grace and flexibility 
cultivated by correct training in classic 
dancing. For better health — for greater 
beauty; for poise; for slenderness; dance! 

As a means of developing grace in chil- 
dren, dancing is unsurpassed. And with 
my method, mother and daughter can 
grow graceful together. 

For the theatre — vaudeville — the movies 
— civic and college pageants — for private 
and social affairs — everywhere the dancer 
is in demand. Startling salaries are paid. 
And those who can dance for charitable 
entertainments or for the pleasure of their 
friends quickly become social favorites.

For you, Madamq^ 

—a new secret of 
charme Parisien 

Of the toilette of Madame, Paris has rightly 
said: "It is only the details which matter, 
but they must be perfect." And those Pttrisi- 
ennes of the type one sees at Longchamps 
and wherever fashion gathers, would send 
to the American ladies this message: 

"In Paris we select, with what care, a 
single scent. Each of our articles de toilette 
bears this same French fragrance. The one 
odeur we have made our own, breathes 
gently through our entire toilette. " 

Naturally, then, and with so great con- 
fidence will the American ladies turn to 
Djer-Kiss — the parfum masterpiece of M. 
KerkofF. For does not each of the Djer- 
Kiss toiletries bear the same odeur captivante 
of Parfum Djer-Kiss itself? The Parfum; 
Toilet Water, Face Powders, Talc, Sachet, 
Soap and Rouges — all are French, adorably 
French. 

May we ask that Madame look over her 
table de toilette. If any of the Djer-Kiss 
Specialties are missing, do obtain them this 
very day. Do achieve, through the purchase 
of the Djer-Kiss Specialites, the secret of this 
French harmony of the toilette. 



Send for M. Kerkoff's 
new sample paquet 

A new paquet of Djer-Kiss samples, con- 
taining Parfum, Face Powder, Cold Cream 
and Vanishing Cream, will gladly be 
mailed in return for merely 15 cms.
