Screenland (Oct 1923-Mar 1924)

SC1EENLAN© 105 An vpffKin cr Rate 25 cents a word Last forms April Issue close March 20 Truckee, Nevada, or the environs of Big Bear Lake loomed up on the screen. It is safe to say that the Northwest Mounted Police have been able to get more men at Truckee than they have ever pinched in the dear old Dominion. The breeding and raising of malamutes should be a good business up there where the snowsheds begin. But since Big Bear Lake is nearer Hollywood it is given the preference by less adventurous directors with home lives uncomplicated by suspicious wives or perhaps limited production allowances. More beautiful screen stars have been exposed to frost-bite and the camera co.incidently up there in the cold and the snow, dying a death far worse than the death they are dying to escape the fate worse than death (No. i, Stock Titles File, Winter Series, Exteriors Section) than anywhere else. In fact, if one should organize a club of screen belles who have contracted chilblains, divorce complaints or subpoenas there, the Big Bear Leading Women's League would be quite a sizeable association. Each one would tell you that that place had been shot to Hades. The Art of Patsy Miller — From page 34 put just a few of my own ideas into my interpretation." I am sure no one could be cross with Pat, not even the hard-hearted public, which may not be half so horr d and hardhearted as some people think. And then Pat told me some more of her wonderful ideas about the part and I thought of how fast this high-spirited girl is growing up and how each picture she undertakes finds her just a little bit different from her last picture. How is it that this lively girl, always ready for a lark at the soda fountain or a romp with her kid brother, has been chosen for the greatest tragedy role in all literature? Perhaps it is because when she gets before the camera she is another person, not a carefree girl but a finished artiste with all the strange power and the uncanny intuition that one only associates with the great lights of the stage. So Pat told me about Lady Macbeth and how she pictured that Scotch "vamp" in her own mind. But it isn't like Pat to be serious for long so I wasn't surprised when she suddenly jumped up and exclaimed, "Let's run over and see if Mildred Davis Lloyd has been cast for any Shakespearian roles today."
