Motion Picture Classic (Jan-Dec 1920)

The Motion Picture Magazine Every person thruout the country, who is at all interested in the movies, will rejoice over the September issue of The Motion Picture Magazine. It exceeds each previous issue in a great many respects. It has a larger number of interesting stories; it carries the most beautiful photographs of the stars ever published; it furnishes a news interest about the players that will delight the reader, — in short, it will mark an epoch in its own interesting history. You will laugh over the funny interview that Gladys Hall had with Connie Talmadge not so long ago. You will be thrilled at the intimate biography which Ethel Roseman writes of William Farnum. You will admire the new photographs, and become very interested in the history of Marion Davies as written by Adele Whitely Fletcher. James Fredericks has interviewed Hobart Henley, the director who now stands in the foremost rank of directors. The popular vampire, Louise Glaum, has been interviewed by Betsy Bruce. The novelizations are of the b.e s t pictures of the month; the photographs are the most artistic that can be obtained. Ijhe emotion 'Picture ^M^agazine 175DUFFIELDST. BROOKLYN. N. Y. Bill Hart's Dream Home (Continued from page 47) contentedly grazing over those pastures. "I'eing practical. I am making an exhaustive study of irrigation as the means to the end of realizing all this. I love Dakota, the land of my boyhood, but the long, cruel winters cause so much suffering among the cattle, I couldn't stand that, so I am turning my eyes toward the Southwest. Here the one difficulty is lack of water, but irrigation solves that." "And it must be cattle?" I asked. "Oh, yes, absolutely; that is part of the big 'dream.' There is just one drawback to that business, the," and the serious eyes looked squarely into mine. "I know very well that when I have watched a herd of cattle grow until they have become splendid specimens of beef — that I will never be able to part with them — to think of having them killed," and the big-hearted man laughed a little ruefully. "Seriously, will you ever be able to give up motion pictures?" My question was prompted by a glance around the little study, which bore silent witness to the many triumphs of this film idol who has blazed an artistic trail by establishing a true type of Western character. He has portrayed the rugged life of a dramatic period of the country's development which is now fast disappearing, and thereby causing his pictures, those .splendid pictorial studies, to be viewed in the light of historical episodes. "Absolutely," and Mr. Hart's reply was emphatic. "Not that I do not appreciate them ; in fact, that is the very reason I am giving them up. When a man has put every ounce of energy, every thought center into his work for over twenty years, you must realize that he cannot keep it up forever — I'm going to quit while the quitting is good. This is not alone for my own benefit, but for the very thing I try to represent — the virile West. If I were to let up in my efforts, that which has been my life work would suffer, and I know nature too well not to know that it will demand a price. "There will be many interests to fill my time. Probably Sister Mary and I shall both write. She is such a very wonderful woman. Her well-trained mind has the keenest sense of dramatic values. I have alwaj'S considered her my best critic, confident that she really knew. We're great pals, too," and he beamed upon the portrait above his desk. So William Hart is cheerfully plan•ning a future — with his dream ranch — a desert waste reclaimed thru irrigation — his real home — his herds of cattle — and his pen!

The Answer Man you refer to is not an old man at all. but a younj? lady. I would not thus give away on her if her department was not deliberately copied after mine. Oh yes, I am living in my hall room as peaceful as ever. These rent profiteers cant touch me. Billie Burke will play in "A School for Scandal" next season on the stage.
