MOTION PICTURE MAGAZINE 167 other colors in the rainbow besides ultramarine. I rank Ruth Roland in her sphere of unspoken plays with May Irwin on the speaking stage. Yours truly, Percy Stjgden. Enclosed find 360 votes for Clara K. Young and Earle Williams. These votes have been brought in voluntarily by patrons of our theater. Very truly yours, Mrs. T. S. Scott. Since first I saw Earle Williams, he has been my favorite and is to me the greatest artist in photoplay. Because he is handsome some infer is the cause for his extreme popularity. 'Tis true he is of most pleasing personality, yet he never seems conscious of it, but no doubt it is his comely appearance that has won for him so many admirers. But altho he is there with the looks, (so to speak), he is also there with the acting. With him "beauty is more than skin deep. " How many times in actual life are we not attracted by a pretty face, and by more intimate associations we discern nothing deep lies beneath the surface: does not the charm soon wear away and the individual lose his hold upon you? And so it would be in photoplay were beauty all that was there to hold— for there especially is facial expression most essential. Unlike many, Mr. Williams is quiet and unassuming. No wild gesticulations mark his acting, but a face that speaks volumes brings the desired effect. Surely such productions as "The Vengeance of Durand" and "Love's Sunset" bespeak one's artistic talents. My votes I now enclose, and with them go my wishes for Mr. Williams' success. Lena Jensen. I think Earle Williams is the "greatest artist" because of his wonderful emotional talent. No matter what part he is called upon to play, he always plays it perfectly. He does not use a great many gestures as so many of the players do, but, instead, depends upon his very expressive face to carry his emotions to his audience. I believe there is no other actor on the screen who can portray an emotion as quietly and with as much effect as Earle Williams. Dorothy N. Walton. I vote Mary Pickford and J. Warren Kerrigan the two greatest artists, because both know just how to put the right spirit into every part they portray, and therefore make it convincing. My greatest wish has always been to see them play opposite each other. Respectfully, H. Manners. $1000 CASH paid for a Photo Play. Hundreds of dollars in smaller prizes offered. Enormous demand.
