She married and retired. Then suddenly she performed a miracle — went Into pictures and made an instantaneous hit in the highly emotional "The Cheat.” Actors and managers said it couldn't be done, but “The Little Cheat” came back with a vengeance. THE AUGUST CLASSIC reproduces a stunning painting of Fannie Ward, by Leo Sielke, Jr., on its cover, and contains a profusely illustrated biography — the strange career of the Perennial Fannie. The Beautiful Bessie Barris tale at Home Painting is a charming homestudy of the “Little Colleen,” is suitable for framing and well worth the price of the entire Classic. “Here Comes the Bride!” Every gossip now knows that Grace Cunard was recently the star performer in a most romantic marriage — that she is now Mrs. Joseph Moore. The inside story of how she came to be led to the altar is as interesting as a thrilling feature picture. H. H. Van Loan discloses the facts in a charming news-story surcharged with the Los Angeles studio atmosphere. “The Screen Kiss” was so lasting that we thought it would keep without spoiling, and lots of other good things crowd it out of this month’s issue. Edwin M. LaRoche, the veteran actor, author and playwright, is at his best in this highly amusing and instructive feature article on just what the Screen Kiss means and how it is expressed. Illustrated with fifteen kissing pictures — some especially posed. Kings and Queens Contest — which made its bow with the Bigger and Better June Classic, was a hit from the start. A new and taking idea in Players’ Contests. The votes for the screen’s most beautiful, most charming and most finished player — both actor and actress — are pouring in with every mail. Each voter shares equally in the prizes. The August Classic will tell you lots of news about the Kings and Queens Contest and will give a tabulated list of the player’s standing up to date. The Classic Extra Girl Plays with Theda Bara — Miss Ethel Rosemon, our extra girl, has just finished playing in a picture with the one and only Theda. Her extra work was finished too late to appear in this issue, but the story holds the same absorbing and human interest as her tale of Vitagraph experiences with Peggy Hyland in the June Classic. Miss Rosemon’s "Camille” story in the August Classic tells us all the hazards and chances of the extra girl. Via Camera, Wire and Telephone presents itself with this issue and promises to grow bigger, better and more newsy in the August Classic. All the Regular Departments Are There — A superb Rotogravure Gallery of Players, Greenroom Jottings, the not-to-be-imitated Answer Man. And, for good measure, look forward to a heart-to-heart Chat with “Polly” Frederick; the “Confessions of a Scenario Reader”; “At Home with Beatriz Michelena”; “The Home Life of Howard Hickman and Bessie Barriscale”; eight beautiful portraits of Anita Stewart; “Filmdom's Tiniest Star — Little Mary Sunshine,” with the “cutest-ever” illustrations; “Kid Love Affairs,” in which Margarita Fischer “ ’fesses up” her youthful indiscretions; Shirley Mason in a new “Daughter of Eve” dance, beautifully posed and illustrated; "Roping Douglas Fairbanks Into an Interview,” some brand-new slants at the famous comedian. But why continue? Enough is as good as a feast — and the August Classic is the richest feast of Motion Picture news, views and stories ever set before a hungry reader. ( Four )
