Motion Picture Classic (Jan-Jun 1929)

thieren). Yet underneath all this lay the stark passion of primal .\frica, the mating call of the jungle, the irresistible forces of Nature and the heart of a monk to the heart of a monk, ever the wide world over. All for Love 'VENTUALLY Joe evolved a plan which was pathetically familiar in its design. He would give up acting and become a director, bending all his energies to making movies that were worthy of the highest artistic and sesthetic standards. Betty showed herself sufificiently feminine to agree that if Joe could make movies worthy of the highest artistic and aesthetic standards, he would be employed in a life work that was worthy of himself. Joe finished his masterpiece as the sinister ape in ".Merry-Go-Round." Then it was that Joe Martin made his decision. He kissed Betty Bradford — it was almost the first time that he had ever done so — and he tore up his contract. Then Joe and Betty kissed Mr. Laemmle good-bye and left Universal City to begin life all over again. Joe Martin for love cf Betty Bradford had given up the movies. After a quiet honeymoon, Joe accepted a modest physical education instructorship in a small mid-Western college, a position scarcely in keeping with hife ability, yet one with some dignity and one wholly satisfactory to Mrs. Joe. She, not without some sacrifice on her part, gave up her scientific career in favor of raising young Martins. If Joe has any regret over the loss of his dresser, his fan mail, his imported car, his chalet and the tinkling laughter of thousands of happy children, it is perhaps discernible in an occasional extra-theatrical flourish from his lecture platform. At that, everyone is too kind to mention it. The Martins rarely go to the movies. This sequestration is not an artificial manifestation but a genuine and sincere one. The -Martins withhold from a coursing and carousing life by preference. It is only those who envy them who will, because of Joe's early environment, refer to them as cagey. Should you have the temerity to ask Joe .Martin how he was able to renounce the life of a motion [picture actor at the to[) of his career, he would reply, with his arm fondly alxjut the "Little Woman," "I looked myself in the eye, considered Betty and found the courage. Yes, sir, that's what did it — my eye and Betty Martin." Wholesale whoopee . . . that's what the eight girls in Clara Bow's picture, "The Wild Party," make.
