John Gilbert She Acts When She Chooses Continued from page 43 and said, 'Gloria Swanson is out front to-night.' That put me in a panic. 'Oh, dear,' I sighed, 'why did you have to tell me now ? Why didn't you wait until the performance was over, so I shouldn't have to go on knowing Miss Swanson was there !' " Afterward Gloria came backstage to congratulate her. "She said very nice things," remarked Miss Joyce, "but I haven't the faintest idea what they were. I kept staring in a sort of fascination at those luminous eyes of hers. The light in the dressing room shone right across them, and they looked such an amazing blue I couldn't think of anything else." And this from Alice Joyce ! This girlish awe ! "I met Erich von Stroheim," she said, "and he made some favorable comment about my work on the stage. I wanted to make some clever answer to his praise, but I was so pleased, so flattered, I'm afraid I just stood there rather gawkily and said, 'Thank you.' Von Stroheim ! Von Stroheim congratulating me !" It doesn't seem quite credible, this girlish naivete, after years of fame and adulation, and yet, somehow, you can't question Miss Joyce's sincerity. When she describes her thrilled delight, because John Gilbert escorted her to a party, she might be any fan of seventeen. But you can't help believing she really means it. Her quiet way of speaking, her elegance, her poise, all these qualities belie such impressionableness, but at the same time convince you she is above posing, above talking for effect. "I never think of Alice as a movie star," a friend of hers told me. "She seems more like just a friend, another woman like myself." And it is quite true that Miss Joyce has none of the egoism of the actor, none of the mannerisms of Hollywood. For instance, a few months ago, she and her small daughter, Peggy, visited the convent where thirteenyear-old Alice, her other daughter, is going to school. "Alice soes to Sacred Heart in Torresdale, just outside Philadelphia," Miss Joyce explained. "She was acting in a little play, so Peggy and I went down to see her. "We had to change to a local train at Trenton, and there was quite a long wait there. Do you know what we did ?" Miss Joyce's eyes twinkled as she talked. "We took a box of lunch — sandwiches and oranges and things — and ate them sitting in the waiting room at Trenton." Just fancy! If you had been longing for a glimpse of your favorite star in person, and suddenly saw him —or her — placidly eating sandwiches out of a box in the station waiting room! Well, I assure you, if you missed Alice Joyce in Trenton, you probably never will see any such thing. Most stars would feel such conduct beneath their dignity. "Eat a box lunch in the station? Suppose some one should see me?" That would be the Hollywood reaction. Fear of imperiling one's dignity which cannot afford to be imperiled. And that's the secret of Alice Joyce. Hers can ! It is only the man not sure of himself who worries about what others will think of him. Only the woman whose dignity sits on her rather precariously fears that it will fall off. Miss Joyce doesn't need to worry. Hers is the poise, the self-assurance, which doesn't mind admitting awe in the presence of glamour ; which doesn't feel her position is endangered by eating in a waiting room. That perhaps is the secret of her continued success on the screen, despite such intermittent efforts. A role in "The Squall," recently completed ; a fling at the stage ; a role in "The Green Goddess," her next picture. Vacation, home life, travel in between. And always sure of her screen welcome when she wants to make a picture. No, she doesn't have to worry that some one else will fill her niche. She brings to the screen something very few have to offer ; youthful maturity, in addition to beauty, and a sure, quiet elegance. The grand manner in its best sense, without pose, without affectation. The personification of that misused term — a lady. That's Alice Joyce.
