He said he believed in, longed for it. He thinks there is one love, one love only and many counterfeits. He thinks we believe in the counterfeits because we so greatly want to, need to. He talked with something of a sympathetic sadness of a certain type of girl of today— girls who tlegrade their youth by painting their faces and smoking cigarets and sitting in the vitiated air of cabarets. It is a mistake, he says, to believe that men, worth-while men, want that. "You women want good men, dont you?" he asked; "good men? Well, we men want good ^voineii. Wholesome women. Strong, sanely balanced women. Women who are, primarily, good comrades." He told me of his home in California and the sweep of land and sea and sky it had and the free, out-of-door life he led there. He told me, too, in relevance to our talk of women and men, that no woman was permitted to smoke in his home nor to touch wine. "They may do it where they will," he said, "I dont doubt but what some of them did, but I dont want to have to see it, and I have a right to preserve my ideals in my own home, haven't I ?" I asked him if he thought many people had ideals, consciously. He said he thought they did. He has never, he says, lost his simple first faith in human nature. Never swerved in his empedestalling of women. Never relinquished the belief that the great and good life, the secret of lasting happiness, the alchemy of deep content is the simple life, the quiet life in the country with little of the fever of ambition, with books and a few friends and the woman one loves. "Love is the greatest thing in life, of course," he said. "I couldn't stand New York," he went on — "the elevated over my head ; the subways underneath ine ; the look on the faces of most of the people I see; the strain and push and sweat and grind. I'm going back to California where, if anywhere, people really live "I was born and brought up in New York City, but that doesn't make me love it. I was born and brought up in a theatrical family. That doesn't make me love the theatrical, either. "I have come thru to a lot of beliefs I didn't have, of course, say ten years ago. I have not always had this philosophy or this way of looking at things. I'm a Christian Scientist and that has solved a lot for me, given me light. And then, too, I have gone down and lived in the very depth of things, not because I was ever so unfortunate as to have to, but because I wanted to, for the experience. I wanted to test out the theory that environment will make or break a MOTION PICTURE CLASSIC The Riddle Man {Continued from page 59) man. 7/ will not. It is the man every time. A man can keep intact his immortal soul as well in a dive as in a mansion. No person or no place or no circumstance has power over him. His is the power. His alone. Man cannot blame his state on circumstance, since he moulds circumstance — or could." We talked a while of books. Bill Russell likes to read biographies and autobiographies— because they're real We talked of hobbies and the pursuit of pleasure — and he has his pipe — not cigarets ; and he likes to take his car and ride about the Westchester hills — when he is in the East — and feel the freedom of the winds he loves sweep past him as he goes. He likes to dream as men dreamed long ago when the world was new — and he has built about him a shield of idealism that these dreams be not destroyed. A Man-Person. A flash-back to Adam, the first man, when he walked in the cool of the first morning. Barthelmess: The Boy {Continued from page 17) It is his mother love. Now mother love, I am afraid, is a thing that may become destructive, foolish, a figurative ball-andchain. Not with Barthelmess and his mother. Between them there is companionship, pal-dom, love. Before our interview his mother had been ill, confined in a Long Island sanitarium for weeks. Barthelmess spent every week-end with her. "Mother does not want it," he told me when I heard him turn down an invitation to a house party, "but I know her heart — and I am not going to disappoint her." Her recovery was slow but finally she has been able to join her son in New York. Once again Barthelmess has the companionship he longs for, and when time permits — (the Griffith players frequently work far into the night) — he does the theaters with his mother "The two pals," they call them. And well they may. Py ANNETTE La Touche Hancock Your eyes were blue. When first we met; I thought you true, Annette! Annette!
