Continued from page 41 was so much more interesting than an affair of moving shadows — when suddenly a close-up attracted my attention. Gloria Golden was smiling straight at me. "Pretty, isn't she?" I said. My cavaliers gave the screen a fleeting glance, then came back to our infinitely more important interests. "M-hmm," they said carelessly. And not until I was in bed at home and had gone over and over the evening, till its last flavor of memory was weakening a little, did 1 find time to think of Gloria Golden again. "Well, isn't it queer?" I thought drowsily just as I was dropping off. My "crush" had smiled straight at me, and I had not had a thrill. This happened quite a few years ago. I can look back on it now and see how funny it was — just as funny as the affair with the tall, handsome sophomore. But it happened recently enough for me to appreciate the way I felt then, and I think that one of those affairs was just as natural, and just as harmless, as the other. Neither was mere silliness ; both were the result of an emotional hunger which the average girl has and doesn't recognize until something comes along that satisfies it. The "something" may be a paper-backed novel, a puppy-love affair with the freckle-faced boy next door, or a "crush" on an actress. And I have told about this experience, and have tried to analyze it, as nearly as I could, because I have come to learn that it is very common among girls in their early teens, and because I believe that all parents should understand it and treat it sympathetically. I don't regret my adoration of Gloria Golden. I still admire her; if for no other reason, I should admire her for the way in which she won her way to the top, by hard, sincere work. I respect her for it — and I'm quite willing to admit that not long ago, when I first began to plan my own wedding, I went to see my favorite in her latest picture, to find out how she'd draped her veil in the wedding scene. My crush on Gloria Golden was good for me. I'm glad that I learned to walk as she did, for instance. And my imitation of her had its place in my development ; we all get our ideas on externals from somewhere, and if my three-cornered hats were not becoming, neither was the style of hair-dressing that my mother copied from the minister's wife. I'm not sure of how much I know of the real Gloria Golden, despite all I've read about her. No matter how much you may read about a person, I presume the real man or woman would seem different from what you had imagined when seen for the first time in person. But my ideal of her was all that was fine and womanly and gracious. It was the ideal Gloria Golden that I imitated in the real, secret things that nobody but myself knew. And in trying to live up to it, I was trying to live up to my own better self. I realize that now, and though when I see Gloria Golden on the screen these days she seems like an old, much-loved friend, that ideal of her is tucked away in my heart, too. The Real Dick Barthelmess Continued from page 4 7 sorts of social and politic claims are made upon him. Dick's conservatism and adamantine will are capable of resisting false claims if he recognizes their falsity. And his perception, bred of introspection and reflection, virtually insures that. I have presented a rather serious study of Barthelmess. He is a rather serious young man. Of frivolities others may write more enthusiastically. They are superficial. For the benefit of those who believe that the really important facts about a man's character are the unimportant ones, I shall add that he is a worshiper of beauty in literature, art, music, and femininity, and the last is not the least important in his estimation. He has all the bad habits worth while. One of these with which I am particularly in sympathy is the habit of going to bed after midnight and always reading among the pillows, the cigarette ashes falling where they may. His disposition is temperate except when awakened too early, and any time before noon is too early when he's not working. He likes careless-looking clothes, always wears white shirts — not silk — and black neckties, will not tolerate tinted or silken pajamas, only likes one brand of cigarette, but likes that one well enough to make up for his indifference toward the others, is positively provincial in his love for New York, approves sophistication, but not cynicism, is so urbane he al
