LADIES AT PLAY gentle and simple young lady, to the public as a modern Messalina, tales of lurid lives have filled the cheap newspapers and the movie fan magazines. Thus, while she takes the fan magazines and follows avidly the matrimonial career of her favourite star, the Club Woman has a breathless feeling that the women of the movies are all women of the world, and that the men are super-lovers. She can get a thrill from seeing and reading about it — but it might hurt her neighbours ! If a movie star commits suicide, it is news. If he is discovered crazy with dope, it is news. The press agent of 1920 has done his work. We all know that Hollywood is the one big bagnio, the one grove of Daphne allowed a stern and frigid nation. At least, the Club Woman knows it. The press agent told her. But wait. It is 1929. Who are some of the present movie stars? Walter Houston Ruth Chatterton H. B. Warner Baclanova George Bancroft 119
