Picture Play Magazine (Sep 1927 - Feb 1928)

Advertising Section thrilled, to admire the hero, and envy and love the beautiful heroine, but who saj's tu him or herself, "I wonder if he or she is a citizen of the U. S. A.? If she isn't, I won't like her any more." It is really absurd. As to liking the foreigners, I do and I don't. For instance, I like Anna Q., Greta Nissen, and Pola Negri, and I love Vilma Banky. Also Lya de Putti is interesting to watch. But I simply detest Greta Garbo. Another thing — I wonder who likes the news reels. I hate them. If you do not get in at the beginning of the show you have to wade through all the latest events. We can read all about them in the newspapers. It is really very boring. Marion Hesse. 154 Elm Street, Elizabeth, New Jersey. Our Miserly Film Producers. Mrs. Olive Thompson wrote, in the June issue of Picture Play, that it is the producers who are to blame for so many foreigners being in our movies. I agree with her on that point. Her explanation was "that many of our great moving-picture magnates were born in foreign countries, so was it not to be expected that they would give encouragement, and even preference to other foreigners?" But on this point, I disagree with her. Mone}', not love for their countrymen, is what motivates on film proucers. It has been my impression for some time that the producers believe in the axiom, "A penny saved is a penny earned." They are not paying all of their imported talent the fabulous salaries given to the home artists. Greta Garbo's temperamental tantrum proved this. When her old contract of four hundred and fifty dollars per week was changed to three thousand dollars, she became herself again. Do your subtracting and see what a nice little penny the producer was saving weekly on this actress alone No wonder Greta sulked. She is a boxoffice attraction and is entitled to her share of the spoils. I am an American and believe in justice. Therefore, Greta is entitled to the things she has justlv earned. To my mind, an actor or actress who proves to be a mone. getter should be accorded fair play, regardless of nationality. Fleta Belle. Truckee, California. A Charming Star to Meet. One of the most pleasant interviews I've ever had was with Mrs. Lowell Sherman, alias Miss Pauline Garon, during her recent vaudeville appearance in Boston. With a chic tailored suit, silver slippers, a smart, tight-fitting black hat, and her pearly white teeth, she was a picture for any movie fan to see. How any one could write anything disagreeable about this charming little lady is beyond my reckoning, for she is bubbling over with a peppj personality, and is just as enthusiastic over meeting her fan friends as they are to see her. Possibly the young lady who wrote the letter about her in these columns, complaining that she had refused to see her, did not use the right means of approach, for no star would be a star unless the public willed it so. and the only way to become famous is to be interviewed and have it circulated. I am a firm booster for Miss Garon, always have been and always will be. She has always come up to my expectations in pictures, and my interview with her has confirmed my belief that she is one of the most charming girls in filmdom.
