Motion Picture Classic (Jan-Aug 1919)

CLASSIC Sugar and Spice and Everything Nice {Continued from page 51) “Hello, dear!” she greeted us. “Can y^ou find a chair?” I The chorus-girls, far too comfortably ensconced in the star’s dressing-room to iremove themselves, somewhat impaired ny powers as an interviewer. So I 5tudied my surroundings. The walls ivere plastered with telegrams of conjjratulation from critics, producers, prominent men, other actresses and actors. jHere indeed was all the glamor of the “'heater. That Smith girl said you were only in understudy once ; that’s not true, is it, Collie?” quoth the chorus-girl in Alice [i)lue. , “No, dear, it isn’t,” said Mollie, as she jwisted her golden locks into the precise hape she wished. ^ And that Gray girl — you know, the one |/ho has a husband and baby, and swears jhe hasn’t — she got turned out the other lay. They say she drank.” The lady II brown spangles rolled this delicious lorsel of gossip slowly between her yimsoned lips. Now, that s too bad. Cant anything e done for her?” said Mollie, carefully dding the last touches of make-up to er peach-like complexion. “Nope; guess she’s too far gone for lat,” harpied the third guest, as she ilped herself to the box of cigarets reosing on Mollie’ s table. Want one?” she ofifered us, generusly. We gave up in despair. For a moment e held Mollie’s perfumed little hand in _irs, then we hurried away — out past a pw of the principals and chorus-girls 'itting final pins in their elaborately scollete costumes. The atmosphere was arked by a lack of worry. If the overye was finished, why, the musicians )uld play another bar. W^hy worry Out in front, I reached my seat under irkened lights. " Suddenly the spotlight flashed on. An audible gasp ran around the semircular audience. In the middle of the ige stage there stood, all alone, a slen^;r figure clad in pure shimmering white ;tin, a touch of coral beads spanned At white shoulders. It was the dazing, cameo-like beauty of the girl’s face, ;amed under the huge picture hat of 'ral-colored velvet, that accounted for gasps. Had she done nothing more than stand lere and let them look at her, the fdience would have been satisfied. She stepped forward and smiled . fe took the audience into her confi<nce She seemed to say, “You are my tends. I like you.” Everybody forgot their pristine amazef-nt at her beauty; they clapped and pped Md clapped. They banged on the Ws. The music started . . . Her little voice spoke the words to a ?pu.ar song. ,tt was Mollie King, the queen of New YK s musical comedy stage.
