An all-star basketball team composed of Alice White, Yola D'Avril, Frances Hamilton, Thelma Todd and Rozella Williams, as they appear in the court costumes ly accepted, there will be no need for it to swing. Consciences won't hurt any longer and the loosened bond will loosen to the point of unpreventable laxity. "There's too much freedom now. The younger generation has its own way about everything. Why say to them, 'Here, we know you can't go through with any binding, sacred contract, so we will give you little darlings Companionate Marriage and make it all nice and easy for you.' "Every girl and boy should do a certain amount of experimenting, in order to arrive at the type of person they would like to marry. "I've had quite a bit of it, and I've been credited with quite a bit I haven't had. I've been card-indexed with Barbara La Marr, Gloria Swanson, Pola Negri, Anna Q. Nilsson, Ruth Elder and goodness knows who-all. Some of it has been so. Some hasn't. And there has been Marilyn, of course. "I found in Barbara a generosity of heart that was a real and lasting lesson to me. Her heart was greater than her caution or her common sense. She gave until it hurt and that not being enough, she gave until she died. Barbara is best expressed in the one word — generosity. Glorifying Gloria f admired Gloria. Just as my reaction to Barbara is generosity, so my reaction to Gloria is admiration. She can do so many things. Play and sing and dance and talk profoundly and invent things. She is sophisticated and groomed, mentally and physically. She is surrounded by bad advisers. If she were not, she would be easily the leading personality in pictures today. "I get from Ruth Elder the feeling of gallantry. She is adventurous and spirited, and fine and free. "Marilyn — well, Marilyn has been and probably always will be the great love of my life. It was a marvelous companionship. It still is. We are not engaged to be married any longer. Separated as we are by reason of our work, neither one of us could appear, however casually, with some other man or woman but that the press would announce it and give it a significance it didn't have. That humiliated Marilyn and humiliated me. We have decided to remain friends and see each other whenever there is an opportunity. But all ideas of marriage are over. "Marilyn, to me, is like a flower. Fragrant and sweet. It is a sentimental simile, but it is Marilyn to me. She is the freshest, loveliest thing I have ever known. I've never seen her walk into a night club or a cafe but that the whole place seemed to lighten and glow with a newer, brighter life. She quickened it, somehow." Long-Distance Love It was a little saddening, this talk of Ben and Marilyn. I had been in his apartment so many times when he had called. Or she had called him. Two young things burning gold at the altar of love. And when Ben came back from those longdistance love-talks, his face bore no trace of the I-am-afraid-to-marry talk of this latter day. Truth compels me to confuse you by saying that he even called her that very day — and when he came back into the room — oh, but figure it out for yourself—! "I don't know," he said, finally, "This sex business is pretty complicated. But I do know that I shall not marry for some years to come. I'm disappointed about it, too. I always dreamed of marrying very young, of having my son grow up with me. But I'm afraid. If girls would only realize that they are destroying the very charm of living and of loving. There are only one or two girls I know for whom I can feel that lovely mystery and charm. Marian Nixon is one of them. I have never heard and never felt one unpleasant thing in her presence. And I don't mean that girls have to be vestal virgins. Frankly, I'd prefer them not to be. I like experience. I like the quality commonly called 'It.' And I like character, too. Try to find it !"
