Standard Food & Fur Ass'n 403A Broadway New York M jAMerryXmas a Twelve Times — See Page 8 § 3 Christmas Gifts and Giving (Concluded from page 48) to speak—the day after Christmas and the proceeds of its year's work are not molested until a couple of days before the next Christ- mas. Then they are used to garnish the tree and buy all the things, the frivolous things, that weren't planned for in the Christmas budget. It isn't a bad plan to try by oneself—just a penny in the bank whenever one uses a bit of pet slang, or whatever your especial failing chances to be, and the accumulation used to provide a little more Christmas joy for some one whose holiday you want to make particularly- joyful. If you haven't yet begun your Christmas shopping for this year I wish you would make a solemn vow to start now —and to begin in the mornings. Also to finish before noon. If you have ever chanced to be in the midst of a shopping mob on the last day before the Yulctide holiday you know what I mean. There is something about a crowd like that that completely demoralizes me. I find myself grabbing wildly at impossible things I haven't the slightest use for, just because some one else has been trying to corner it. I have my toes trodden on and the breath nearly knocked out of me before I can make my way out of the crowd and compose my reason and my hat. What do you suppose the result of such a wild, clamor- ing mob is on the girls who have to stand there hour after hour and attend to their frenzied demands? So this year I hope you will plan to extend your Christmas giving to the people who serve you in the shops, and do it by getting through with what you have to buy well before that last frantic week begins. We learned something of discipline during those days when our men were training for battle. I think we might extend that to our every day life and by "taking thought" learn to diminish the burdens that those around us have to carry. Perhaps, after all, this is the meaning of Christmas. Perhaps the learning to think of the other person's worries and cares, the learning to think less of ourselves and more of others was the greatest lesson that came to us that far-off morning when the shepherds followed the Star in the East. And now I must run along and attend to my own Christmas shopping, so I will leave you with Tiny Tim's Christmas wish: "God bless us every one." Gold and Leather Medals (Continued from page 41) because he is more continuously employed. Alec B. Francis is characteristically seen in his delicate and beautiful study in "Earth- bound." Frank Keenan has had a quiet year. J. Barney Sherry, Tully Marshall and Herbert Standing are, in their classes, be- yond reproach. Hobart Bosworth came back —and stayed. His performances in "Behind the Door" and "Below the Surface" were as fine as anything he has ever done—and to those who know their photoplay history, this is saying a great deal. Marc McDermott has shown us acting of a sort seldom beheld, as the paralytic father in that gripping finale to "While New York Sleeps." Matt Moore seems to be turning into a young character- actor of rarest promise. His Henry Calverly, in the as yet unreleased "Passionate Pilgrim," is an earnest of this. Will Rogers is at once one of the year's sensations and one of its greatest puzzles. A quaint, clumsy actor, devoid of every allur- ing asset except downright honesty and a serio-comic sincerity, he provided in "Jes' Call Me Jim," one of the finest portraits in the gallery of photoplay recollection. "Ju- bilo" was another old-fashioned wonder. Yet the booking-men say that Rogers is not a "money-getter." If this is true, it means that despite the enthusiasm with which his admirers everywhere greet his pictures, he must be an acquired taste. And if that is so, a lot of taste-cultivation would do no harm. If William S. Hart keeps on seeking other fields than the plains he will have to turn his monarchial sombrero over to Harry Carey— who, in turn, is pressed close by both Tom Mix and Buck Jones. And we cannot let go our masculine chron- icle before we mention that Francis X. Bush- man has a grown son, Ralph, now prancing before the lamps with some success and more promise. Mary Pickford remains the queen of the movies. And this is little short of marvelous, when one considers the length of time she has held the sceptre, and the vicissitudes of the most rapidly changing occupation on earth. Not so long ago she cemented her supremacy by the notably artistic and imagi- native "Suds," the least appealing of her recent pictures in a popular sense, but one of the finest. Pearl White has been working for many months in a new field, and the in domitable energy which held her season in and season out the pre-eminent serialeuse i* beginning to show in her features; incredibly bad at first, they are getting better, and probably Bernstein's "The Thief will be as good as "The White Moll" was disappoint ing and dull. Nazimova has not progressed at all. The reason seems apparent: ego. No one knows as much about anything con- nected with her pictures as she; the selec- tion of stories, acting, direction—in all these hers is not only the last word, but the first. When she discovers that the movies, like most other arts and crafts, represent a co- operation of talent, we will probably see a return of the great actress of "Revelation," and "The Heart of A Child." Norma Tal- madge, instinctively and by actual practice one of the finest and subtlest as well as one of the loveliest of screen actresses, is in a peculiar situation. Peculiar, in that she of all people is theoretically in the best situa- tion for everything—stories, time, direction, equipment, yet her talents, and her mighty personality, continue to be wasted on trash. On the other hand Norma's snappy younger sister, Constance, while possessing little of Mrs. Schenck's dramatic intelligence and even less of her emotional depth, is one of the greatest successes of screendom, and is con- tinually growing in popularity. Timely and entertaining vehicles well put on, arc the solution of this family puzzle. Pauline Fred- erick ran an uneven course. Having done little that was worth while in many, many months, "Madame X" brought her back to the very front rank. It would be too much to say that the piece alone is responsible, or that it was an "actor-proof" restorative ca- pable of reviving anybody. The truth of the matter is that "Madame X" and Pauline Frederick were in very great need of each other. And, thank the stars of art, they found each other! Alice Joyce has really marched ahead. In the early days when photoplays were only moving pictures she had only beauty to commend her. Return- ing, after a very considerable retirement, she began all over again, and in the past seven or eight months has worked as though a millionaire husband and an assured social Etery ld7erti3eaeut in PHOTOPLAY MAGAZINE is guaranteed.
