Minnea/ s Mil Reputations (Continued from page 47) "Not on any of your Western ranches with cactus and cowboys," said he, "but on a home-like, quiet spot in New England. I like scenery, but not too much of it. I'd rather have a few traditions thrown in with my picturesque landscape. "The solitude of the country is the only hope for any man who has bucked the world for a number of years, wresting his pittance from it. Even now I try to believe I'm in the country — even tho I know the street-car runs only a block away." "He believes so much," interrupted Mrs. Washburn, "that we've sat down to many a cold dinner because he wouldn't stop fussing with the hens out in the chickencoop." Probably because Washburn has brown eyes, an infectious smile and a dimpled cleft in his chin, picture producers have always offered him to the public in light, innocuous comedies. Whereas he really is a rather serious-minded sort of person who has a logical outlook on life. Recently he terminated a starring contract— terminated it because he was tired of doing vapid, old-style farces and comedies, when he felt he was capable of bigger things. "An actor," he said, "suffers terribly thru other people's mistakes. If he gets a line of bad stories, the public blames him —and he really has little or nothing to say in regard to what his producer will buy for him to play in. "Because he makes one play that is a success, all the scenario readers and writers in the studio are put to work in an effort to get repetitions of the same effect. "They dont ivant you to be versatile on the screen. They go on offering and offering you in the same line of stories until what admirers you've had begin to get tired of the type." Long ago Washburn started about upsetting people's illusions. When he was with Essanay he got married. His wife is charming and brilliant and a compliment to any man's sense of possession. And he immediately announced his marriage— and never since has denied it. He was the first screen actor to admit that he had a wife ! "Another star told me I'd kill myself if I ever spoke of Mrs. Washburn," he explained. "And I said, 'All right, then I'll die game.' "Finally it got to be the thing for actors to use their wives in their publicity. And I cant recall any sudden professional deaths among the married men as having occurred, either. "Deep down in their heart, the public likes to be clean. A scandal may offer spicy sensation for the moment, but decent-minded people dont care to know their scandalous neighbors. "It's all right for you to sow your wild oats — but dont hold anybody else responsible for the crop." Speaking of Washburn's being the first film star to admit having been married, reminds me that he has also been the advance scout of other cinema foibles. Over a year ago he took his company to England to produce there "The Road to London" — the first British-made production of an American cinemateur. Since making that trip and that production, Washburn has developed a tremendous liking for European manners and customs. Yet, while his admiration for Britishers is frank and open, he never momentarily forgets that he is first an American. "Those who are always knocking the United States because of prohibition and other perhaps arduous constitutional amendments, should have no place in America," is his opinion. "Europe is spacious and still liberal in the matter of personal liberty. But . . ." He confesses to having been very happy when, once more, he set foot on native soil. For he is extremely sincere, has a mind of his own, and is not afraid to speak it. Soon he hopes to engage in making a' revival of "Skinner's Dress Suit," the play that really proclaimed him a star. If he does refilm it, he will do so with his own company. Negotiations are now under way. And the new production will be very different from the former one, made in the days when pictures were in their swaddling clothes. After departing from Essanay, his cinema alma mater, Washburn became a Lasky star, and "Till I Come Back to You," "The Way of a Man With a Maid," "Why Smith Left Home," "It Pays, to Advertise," "What Happened to Jones" and "The Six Best Cellars" were, perhaps, the best of the pictures made there. Still, his Lasky experience was a case of half-in-half. Some of his vehicles were wretched in their story-value. Others were side-splitters. But the experience has taught Washburn never again to make pictures on a program schedule. In "Hungry Hearts," which he recently made at Goldwyn, he ventured into the purple depths of heavy drama. He liked it — and wants other equally good opportunities. And his latest picture, "The Woman Conquers," with Katherine MacDonald, he feels has given him the chance. And so, when we see the new Washburn playing different roles, we need not be surprised. For he declares that he's going to do some serious work before he ever thinks of leaving the screen. He has the facility of using his good, clear brain to the best advantage. He believes in fair play — and a good reputation. Hollywood has never been able to scandalize either him or his wife. And probably never will be able to. For Bryant and Mrs. Washburn represent the decent coterie — people who love and live and are raising their children to be self-respecting, genteel citizens. Even as you and I. Trouble (Continued from page 106) a snowstorm inside, in the parlor, and a stereopticon with pictures of the Alps and wild animals and the World's Fair !" Jackie's eyes gleamed, but still there was one last point to be settled. He turned to the rosy old man. "Do you like dogs?" he asked breathless with suspense. "If you do. you'd be sure to like General Pershing, because he is almost all the kinds of dogs there are!" "Always was fond of dogs !" affirmed the rosy old man. "The farm would be just the place for the General — great juicy bones, woodchucks to chase — haven't you ever heard that farming was a dog's life?" Jackie hesitated no longer. He clutched the hand of the little faded woman. "We'll come, wont we, Mother?" he cried. "It's a home with a little 'h,' like the cop said I'd find if I prayed."
