FIFTEEN CENTS A COPY ] linn A NEARER POINT OF VIEW “CLOSE-UP 99 A MAGAZINE OF MOVIE-LAND ETHEL BROADHURST RoFn Film Co. ACTING FOR THE FUTURE It doesn’t necessarily mean that be cause Ethel Broadhurst is at the present time cavorting in comedies with the Rolin Film Company that she has given up her original love for the speaking or dancing stage. It seems inconceivable that a *glrl of her magnetic appearance should not wish to return to her original love and have “the people out in trout" applauding her appearance and ability. Not so very long ago we had Several inquiries at this office regarding this young lady and one of them was in respect to her recent appearance here at the Orpheum Theatre. When we informed our interrogator that Miss Broadhurst was bound hand and foot for a number of years in the film game, .said party looked disgustedly at us and muttered, “Isn’t it a shame that all the beauties are being copped by the movies?” So for this reason we have an idea that Miss Broadhurst will sooner or later become homesick for the smell of the old dressing rooms en route. At this writing she is playing an ingenue with “The Vanity 'Maids” under the direction of that peer of comedy supervisors, Hal Roach. “ THE S A PAGE” By Barbara La Marr Yes! I would have put away God and the World And, into space, Hope of Eternity hurled To have clasped the dream-form of Love to my breast, Forgetting all else — but the lips I caressed. For Woman’s Life was Love, since Life’s beginning ; And the Hypocrite alone calls it sinning. But, if ’twere, the Highway of Sin I would trod — Straight on — till l returned unto Dust and Sod! i I would fight till Death! in jurtglc-mad fashion For my Mate — and then, from ShePanther passion, I would turn — to sink like a slave at his feet — To wait — the surrender of myself, Complete! And then — as the blood ran riot in my veins T o lips trembling with the ecstacy that pains — 1 would call out for death, though 1 knew full well l had gained Paradise through the Gates of Hell! THIS MAY BE TRUE “In the old days,” mused Lloyd “Ham” Hamilton reminiscently, “when Bud Duncan and myself used to cavort together for ‘Kalem,’ we used the West Lake Park for location for many of our comedies. As you know, I used to wear a stage moustache— well, one day in a comedy scene, I jumped in the lake and lost my moustache. I hailed the property man who was a good swimmer and asked him to dive in and get it. He dove down and came up with a handful of moustaches lost by Charlie Chaplin, Chester Conklin and others who had used the lake for location, and yelled, as he tossed them on the bank, ‘Hey, “Ham,” which is yours’?” HELENE LYNCH Ingenue Leads A NATURAL-BORN COLLECTOR It is a pretty well known fact that young ladies, or, more particularly, young girls, are apt to be ardent collectors, and we might say that Helene Lynch is no exception to the rule. When she was a little tot of four she was collecting dolls, and at the age of ten she started to collect (we might have said measles, but we doubt if she has ever had them), but anyway she was acquiring a large collection of postage stamps. At the age of sixteen she started collecting high school boys’ hearts. How many are in her possession at this writing we would not venture to enumerate, but by glancing at the infectious smile of this lovely girl above, it will naturally be presumed that she must have quite a collection of photographs, so it was natural, a year or so later, for the writer to pay a visit to this charming girl’s mother and then we discovered a varigated assortment of cats in their winsome little home on Hudson avenue. Miss Lynch, who has just finished playing an important part in “The Throw Back” under the direction of Jacques Jaccard, admits her predeliction for these four-footed furproducers. At this writing she is resting preparatory to fulfilling another important assignment in screenland. PLEASE PATRONIZ E— W HO ADVERTIS E— I N “CLOSE-UP
