How they brighten up bare walls and lend a touch of human sympathy, alike to the homes of the rich and poor! And what could better serve the purpose of decoration for the homes of motion picture enthusiasts than portraits of the great film stars, who have become worldwide famous? The publishers of the two leading motion picture monthlies, the Motion Picture Magazine and Motion Picture Classic, have accordingly prepared at great expense, especially for their subscribers, an unusually fine set of portraits of twenty-four of the leading players. These portraits are 5j/2" x 8" in size, just right for framing, printed in rich brown tones by rotogravure, a process especially adapted to portrait reproductions, and are artistic, accurate and high-grade in every way. You will like these portraits, you will enjoy picking out your favorites. You will delight in framing them to be hung where you and your friends may see them often.

Her entire attitude, expressed and unexpressed, is “Who am I that I should hold myself in high esteem?” She thinks her mother and dad are the dearest people in all the world, and when she has a “lot of money,” her main ambition is to buy back the old homestead where she was born and convert it into a home for destitute children. She still tells of her first job, which was to pose for Harrison Fisher, with honest awe in her manner. “Whatever may come to me in life,” she said, “it will never have the thrill I felt when Mr. Fisher asked me to pose for him.” She doesn’t want to go on the stage. Just doesn’t care about it. “Pictures are for me,” she said, “and I am going to stick to them. I dont believe in divided and subdivided aims.” She always, always wears black, or old blue, or a mixture of both. She has a hobby for kimonos and has a remarkable collection of them, more in the way of quality than quantity. She is emphatically not extravagant. She loves rare perfumes. Her idea of a home is concentrated upon one room which, she told me, with the wide eyes of a child, should be hung in black velvet and strewn with old blue velvet chairs and divans and have a marble fountain playing in the center. “There would be attendants,” she said, “to fan me and rub me. I think harems must be lovely — only I’d probably be doing the fanning instead of being fanned.” Which is quite, quite probable . . . knowing Rubye de Remer. She has a host of friends, and “Everybody just loves Ruby” is their slogan. It isn’t as the “most beautiful blonde since Venus” that those old Denver friends greeted her, nor yet as the girl whom World Films is starring and whose pictures are circumnavigating the globe, but just as “Rubye dear” who went to school with them. She has a duck of a new Romer car. “I dont consider it an extravagance,” she told me, seriously speculative. “You see I just have to have something to take me back and forth to the studio, or I would be fagged out and tired-looking, and there would be no profit in that. I feel like a child with a new toy.” There is never a night, no matter at what hour she retires— this was confided to me by her chum, who lives with her at her hotel — that she doesn’t get down on her knees by the side of her bed and say her prayers. And she does not need to pray to be made a child again, just for tonight, for she has kept thru fame and fortune, fair and ill, the ready laughter, the dear unself-consciousness, the clear heart of the eternal child, than which no art is finer, no power stronger, no magic deeper.
