Motion Picture Magazine (Aug 1918-Jan 1919)

Design Courtesy of Famous Players-Lasky "That's Out" Up-to-the-Moment Comment on Film Activities By TAMAR LANE ~^HE remarkable ability of astrologers, writing in motion picture publications, to read the characters of screen stars and forecast their futures has so inspired us that we yearned to develop uncanny powers ourself. So for the past few rr these months we have been studying the stars and hereby offer for approval our first efforts at writing horoscopes. It is very difficult work, and our results were achieved without the use of either a telescope, a high-school education or a dead-reckoning. Xativity of William S. Hart, born December 6. In the figure of this subject's nativity the fifth degree of Cadum is on the cusp of the Fifth home, and Durham, Lord of Tor, is in an angle and in close aspect with Listerine and Squantum, while the Fifth also holds the benevolent Jupiter. Thus we see what a great actor he must be. At his birth Aquarius was rising with Fievur, which indicates that altho the native had but one mother and father, he will gain quite some fame and distinction in public life, but will not marry until late in life, if at all. He loves liberty and scorns defeat. Those born with the Sun in Volupuk are fond of outdoor life, especially horses, and should be handy with guns. The Sun so situated gives him lofty ambitions and desires. We would never advise Mr. Hart to become a brakeman or a gas inspector, and he should be careful not to play with dynamite on Mondays. Nativity of Mary Pickford, born April 8. Miss Pickford was fortunate in having the seventeenth degree of the Zodiacal sign Pluribus on the Eastern hori-* zon at her birth. Had it been on the Western horizon she might have been a brunette and could never earn over $500,000 a year. I will quote Professor Flukus in his Arcana of Astral Phulosophy: "From fifteen to twenty degrees of Cuticura ascending shows that the subject will meet success early in life, accumulate a-good deal of wealth and become prominent in~ the public eye." In future she should never want. She loves liberty and scorns defeat. As Venus is in good aspectwith Mars, she was born with the power to sway the world and has the makings of a good actress. She was born at 12 p. M., just as the Sun was setting in the horizon, and the Sun so situated gives her lofty ambitions and desires. She should stick to comedy and dramatic roles and avoid railroad wrecks, religious arguments and similar disasters. Prosperity will be hers as long as she refrains from investing in Kimberly oil wells and California diamond mines. Nativity of Douglas Fairbanks, born May 23. At the hour of this noted player's birth the Rexall sign was just beginning to ascend and Mammon was ruling in Caserole. These are sure indications that Lucre will smile at him and guide him thru life. It is evident from the way in which Cremo eclipsed the Owl that Mr. Fairbanks will achieve athletic prowess and an ability to overcome obstacles. He will do quite some traveling and become popular with the public. He loves liberty and scorns defeat. Persons born under this sign are of a happy disposition, prefer a belt to suspenders, Hollywood to Fort Lee, Packards to Studebakers, and always celebrate their birthday during the month of May. At the hour of his birth the Sun was headed north, northeast by west, which, according to Ptomaine, the father of Astrology, is a sure sign that the subject will never drown as long as he keeps his head above water. The sun so situated gives him lofty ambitions and desires. Things to avoid — Third rails, left-handed monkeywrenches, Spanish influenza. Perhaps one of the worst handicaps a man can have is to be original or hold ideas different from the accepted 55 PA£li
