GREAT LOVE STORIES OF FILM FOLK.— A remarkable series of true stories concerning the romances of favorite stars, by Grace Kingsley. There is no writer who knows the screen folk better than Miss Kingsley, and no one who can write about them with a more human touch. This absorbing series will begin in the October issue of Picture-Play Magazine. The first of the series is, we think, a real achievement, for it reveals for the first time the romance and home life of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Ray. It is a story that will be of unusual interest to every admirer of "the best-loved boy on the screen." In the same number will appear a riotous story by Herbert Howe about Doraldina, the famous Hawaiian dancer, who has gone to California to do a spectacular picture, by which Mr. Howe proves, in his own inimitable way, that you can't judge a dancer by the clothes she doesn't wear. Of the greatest interest to all screen aspirants will be an article concerning the try-out which Thomas H. Ince recently gave at his studio to a number of young persons who were ambitious to become screen stars. Just what happened will be told in full. There will be a great many stories and articles, including an interview with Lillian Gish, who is about to become a star, a story on how Seena Owen made a fortune by going into the oil business as a side line, a story on "the wickedest woman in pictures," and several others. Don't fail to read the October issue of Picture-Play Magazine.
