Motion Picture Magazine (Aug 1924-Jan 1925)

Advertising Section 0T10N PICTURI MAGAZINE tions. In the July issue of the Motion Picture Magazine the article, having for its purpose to make a mockery of the screen's latest interpretation of Three Weeks, was carried entirely too far, and was by no means upright on account of its harsh tone and its unfair judgment. I have yet to witness a picture flawless in every detail. "When the time comes that all things have attained perfection in all of their minute points, then the very world will stand still on its axis. The old axiom, "There is nothing new under the sun," could as truthfully have been "there is nothing perfect under the sun." It is variety and the constant striving for this state 'of perfection that makes life worth living, and the future of each of us interesting— not merely the assured monotonous certainty of one perfect thing after another to look forward to. I was not disappointed in this production and have heard many others say the same thing. I thought the fact that the love of the Princess was supposed to be spiritual rather than sexual for the Englishman, Paul, was more forcibly stressed than I imagined it was possible for it to be. I have seen many plots that I know were just as suggestive and shocking as Three Weeks, and certainly not by any means as well interpreted. Again let me say, tho the others in the cast chosen by Elinor Glyn were not so striking, do not condemn all in this picture because each individual did not appear cameo-like in his or her part. Remember, we are each of us human beings, actors and actresses as well as the rest of us. I think, however, some of the narrowminded prudes that inhabit this earth have the idea that actors and actresses, likewise directors and producers, are divine, gods and goddesses, and are therefore not capable of making mistakes, and should be blamed forever for every fault enacted. If all of Washington, D. C, is laughing and their merry mood is due to Three Weeks, why even they were benefited by this production, for if they are in the majority, like the one who so heartily deplored this picture, a hearty laugh will do them a great deal of good. I think Aileen Pringle was wonderful, and has the acting ability to become a big star in the silver-screen firmament. I also think, taking everything into consideration, Three Weeks was good ; evidently untold numbers (Continued on page 118) Enid Bennett gives a remarkable characterization of a degraded woman in The Red Lily I The Husband—" Your figure is perfect i?i that corset."
