We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.
Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.
Picture Show Annual 31 There are exceptions. That great actor, Emil Jannings, has no type. He is different in almost every picture in which he appears, so different that he is scarcely recognisable as Jannings himself. But the German actor is a law unto himself. He never was a type, so the public don't look for him to be one. It is different with the others. The public took to the Menjou they saw in " A Woman of Paris," and they still want that sophisticated man of the world, with his half-cynical, half-humorous outlook on life, and Adolphe and his directors see that they get it. So whether Menjou plays hero or villain (and he is equally at home in either part) he still remains that delightful, fascinating figure, neither a paragon of virtue nor a real blackguard. Other screen heroes are not allowed so much liberty as Menjou. Ricardo Cortez must be romantic, no matter what part he plays. He must also remain a " foreigner " in the eyes of English-speaking picturegoers. Richard Dix is a distinct type, and a very fine type at that. He represents the modern young man who is as keen in business as in sport, clean living, and getting a whole lot of fun out of living. Not too romantic, but full of a very real chivalry to women of all ages. A good pal to a man and a staunch lover to the girl he chooses. It took .Dix rather a long time to get there, for he was not given parts worthy of his ability, but, like the type he represents on the screen, he never thought of quitting, and he battled on with a smile. To-day he is at the top, and he is one who looks like sticking there for a long time. In circle: Victor Varconi. Huntly Gordon and Anna Q. Nilsjon.
