Next Month
"Our Lady o' Dreams"
Few actresses who have been "off the screen" for a few months have been missed as has Miss Marie Doro. Her exquisite charm has suggested the title, "Our Lady o' Dreams," for an article in which Mr. Bartlett will give you his impressions of this delightful woman, with photographs made in her New York home where she has been in retirement save for a brief stage appearance.
Fiction? Why Certainly!
Frederick Arnold Kummer has written another of his fascinating romances of studio life, "The Devil's Camera," in which there is adventure, mystery, and all the other elements that make this author's stories absorbing. Mr. Kummer knows pictures — he has had many of his stories filmed — and his fiction is very true to life. Then there will be stories of current releases, "Milea-Minute Kendall," "Heiress For a Day," and other tales, of the sort for which Photoplay readers have expressed a decided liking.
The Filming of O. Henry
Are you an O. Henry fan ? We _. completed the previously announced pictorial feature, showing the manner in which the characters created by this master of the short story have been transferred to the screen. Whether you know O. Henry through his books or the pictures, you will find this unique comparison of the screen studios and the author's original descriptions, fascinating in the extreme.
We Found Her
Where has Blanche Sweet been? What has she been doing? At last we have the answer to the many questions of this sort that we have been receiving. Harry Carr, whose personality sketches are invariably original and informing, has written about it and next month you shall know all.
The Search for Novelty
There is no business in the world concerning which the public knows so much as about the picture business. You have been told about the studios and the cameras and the making of plays, until the search for novelty seems almost hopeless. But there is always something new. For instance, you have noticed that many companies seem to think their rosters of stars are incomplete unless they have a private "Russian" in the list — even if these Russians were never closer to Petrograd than Brooklyn. In the May issue Photoplay will show you Russian screen stars, who never have been outside of Russia, members of the famous Moscow Art Theatre company, supported by the government, whose creations are now being shown in this country.
Nor So Serious
One side of the life of the manager of a picture company has never been shown to the public. This is the series of pests which infest his office. "Gathering the Nuts" will tell you about them. Then, Delight Evans will contribute one of her breezy — they aren't poems and they aren't prose — we never have decided just what to call 'em.
And So On
And there will be photographs, and more photographs, and more photographs. And unexpected little things too numerous to mention. And so on. So perhaps we shall get away with the job of making next month's magazine even better than this, after all. We leave it to you.
Theda Bara Fans
"Simp" interviews or the sort of personality story best expressed by the word "chat" in which the adoring interviewer sits by, tense in every nerve, worshipping at the shrine, is the pet horror of the editor of Photoplay. If we can't tell the truth about a star, we would rather say nothing. It is much more sensible. Maybe we're wrong but we do think a silly interview is an insult to the intelligence of our readers. You buy Photoplay for&the truth why shouldn't you get it ? This special reference to an interview Theda Bara in the next issue.
