BUT I cant take fifteen hundred words to write: "She has nothing she considers sufficiently important to say."
What's the matter when a lady wont talk? — and for publicity, at that ! Is it because she's simply, dumb, and really has nothing to say? Perhaps — but I am one of those peculiar people who thought "The Salvation Hunters" a fine picture, and Georgia Hale's acting excellent. And, again, one who sneered in a sophisticated — or disillusioned — way when the critics failed to appreciate her work in "The Gold Rush." No, she cant be dumb, for then my judgment would be wrong — better the world should end than that ! Maybe. . . .
Dig a little deeper, Dunham.
For, when polite maneuvering fails to maneuver, and leading questions fail to lead beyond a "yes" or "no," one must try another tack — must, if he is of that tribe for whom eating is a better builder-up than fasting.
If, when one asks, "What part are you going to play in 'The Great Gatsby'?" the lady answers : "I dont know yet," and intimates that, furthermore, it doesn't worry her much; what is one to do ? Dig ! — perhaps even deep enough to find out why
If one can !
Yes one can if one will be patient and try to coax her into relating her experiences and philosophy of life.

Emotions Run Deep
T n "The Salvation Hunters" Miss Hale's emotions were not a pretty, prim, and precious flower — as are those of the elder Gish — rather, she grasped the roots and, controlling them, let grow whatever would — straight and tall or stunted and gnarled, as was decided by the sun and wind of its environment. And she has continued in this way.
From earliest childhood, she has been as she is now.
In the years of her schooling, for instance, she got along
very well — tho she never did her homework.
She never did her homework for the
thoroly sufficient reason that, at the
moment, she had other interests,
and would not waste her time
on any single thing that did
not fit in with them.
But, in case the same thing held in the opposite direction ! Here, the main interest wrought by her environment was to learn. And she threw herself into the work of the moment with sufficient vigor more than to make up for the lack of interest when other influences were working on her.
She Lives the Moment
and here we have it! "Live
the moment" is the key to
which all her life is pitched. When
the moment arrives, act as you see
fit ; not as you planned at some other
time, when you could not be aware of
just what this moment would contain.
doesn't worry
Georgia thoroly lives the moment. It is the key to which all her life is pitched. She has prepared herself to be natural. As a result, everyone hails her as a regular fellow
