Why has Pauline Garon never been "discovered"?

matter. Here's hoping she stays there, where she belongs. Up high.
Lila Lee was a little somebody playing in this and that for companies nobody had ever heard of. And she used to be a Paramount star. You remember her opposite Thomas Meighan in his old pictures? Well, all of a sudden, a svelte and chic siren appeared in a picture of marital complications called "Just Married," and the siren was Lila Lee, in sleek coiffure and earrings. And now she's opposite Richard Barthelmess, in "Drag," and Tommy Meighan again in "The Argyle Case." Just like old times !
There was another popular actress who, about five years ago, was one of Paramount's box-office bets and would have ranked high in a popularity contest. You remember Agnes Ayres? She married Manuel Reachi and retired. She made only one important appearance after that. Rudolph Valentino wanted her for the flash-backs in "Son of the Sheik." And so she made a little aftermath in Rudy's last picture. Then I saw her in a two-reel comedy. Imagine Agnes Ayres racing through one of those trick houses ! It was a pretty good comedy as comedies go, but not a vehicle for the lovely Agnes. More fitting was the "Lady of Victories," a color film, with Miss Ayres as the Empress Josephine. But, of course, not an important picture, one not generally shown. Now there is a finis to Agnes' marriage, and she has returned, more beautiful than ever, in the alltalkie. "The Donovan Affair."

of real tragedy is struck in the almost successful comeback of the gorgeous Alma Rubens. Absent from the screen for some time, Alma returned. a striking figure in a John Gilbert success, "The Masks of the Devil." Then the wonderful opportunity to play Julie in the eagerly awaited "Show Boat." Followed by a poignant role in "She Goes to War." Success indeed ! Then Alma's dream castle crashed. She collapsed in a nervous breakdown. Unpleasant publicity swiftly and surely broke down the walls of her success. To-day she is in a California sanitarium for narcotic addicts, a pitiful figure. Some day, perhaps. Alma will have another chance. She is too beautiful to go down in defeat. And yet there was Barbara La Marr. Doris Kenyon has made a gradual return to prominence during the past year. Doris retired from films after her marriage to Milton Sills to attend to more important domestic duties. When she came back it was as her husband's leading lady in a series of his pictures, but in these she was subordinated to his more dominant personality. Then she appeared in "The Home-towners" and "Interference." two of the better films. She was once more an important player.
