r ■ ®» Peggy Joyce's list of the only screen players who know how to make love: William Haines Ralph Graves Lionel Barrymore Gloria Swanson why it is, but I've remembered that kiss and nothing in real life has ever come up to it. No Thrill from Rudie JL ou know, Rudie would be all right as a lover — if I didn't know him ! But he looks on the screen as though he didn't register more than 98 degrees normal when he's kissing— to me anyway. There's no thrill in watching him kiss ! "Gloria Swanson, now, is the girl who knows how to kiss and the only one who does. In a kiss, she's, she's so voluptuous . . . why, she's perfect ! Most screen stars think that if their lips meet for a certain length of time and with a fair amount of force — that that's a kiss ! They don't know that they have bodies and souls. Gloria Swanson does and she makes you know that she feels the kiss all through her. It isn't just acting. Pola Doesn't Feel Her Kisses UHT JL hat's what Pola Negri does — just acts — acts as though she were being kissed! Isn't it silly though? Not to be able to kiss? H."Most screen stars think But really she never thatt '%f their lips meet for a J . , certain length of time ana dld except in that zyjfA a fair amount of force one picture, Passion. — that that's a kiss," says In her other pictures Peggy Hopkins Joyce she looks as though kissing meant eating ice cream. Something cooling and refreshing ! Most people think she is the great screen vamp, because she's foreign and foreigners are supposed to be passionate and skilled in kissing, but Pola Negri can take lessons from Gloria all right. "Movies affect me so deeply ! I went to see Enemies of Women and I cried like a child all through it . . . just like a child ! Plays never move me. They are so boring. No play has ever moved me like Enemies of Women. It was splendid. I sobbed even after the picture was over. But then Lionel Barrymore is so wonderful ! He's my ideal ! If you've ever seen him in a picture, you know that he's one man in a million — one who knows how to make love ! But what did he have to get married for ? There's no good in my thinkingabout him now. H,Ralph Graves, one of Peggy Ho p k in s Joyce's selections as a ncar-pcrfect lover, as he mill appear in Yolanda with Marion Davies. He's caught ! Foolish, foolish man! Lionel is so wonderful. A star should never marry. (Cont'd on p. 93)
