Motion Picture Magazine (Aug 1926-Jan 1927)

Bible story of Ruth — about ten in. all? And all the grand operas and Shakespearian plays. * * * ""The Fox Company pays Tom Mix fifA teen or twenty thousand dollars every week, and good salaries to a few hundred other players and directors, yet their statement to the Government shows a surplus of $12,029,239. Not so bad ! T loyd Hughes is the most unassuming, democratic, good-natured, natural fellow I have met out here. Of course, he is very fine -looking and dresses well, but there is something remarkably frank, wholesome, and easy about him that places him in a class by himself. While he is not at all effeminate, he strikes one as being a one-hundred-per-cent. young man, with no bad habits and perfectly trustworthy and honest. I cant imagine him lying, or posing, or putting on. He is just what he looks to be on the screen, apparently an ideal young man. ""There are about 20,000 people here engaged in the movie industry. And every actor and actress, I think, believes that sooner or later the lightning will strike him or her and make a new star, just as it struck Belle Bennett in "Stella Dallas." At the Blackton Tennis Tournament last Sunday I noticed among the good players Lionel Belmore, who is, as you know, fat, gray and sixty. Yet he gets around almost as lively as the young fellows. And as for Richard Neill, well, he plays like a champion and has all the strokes. So has Ralph Ince the director. Patsy Ruth Miller is quick on her feet and graceful, but she plays only a fair game. .Charles Ray and Montague Love are about in the same class, both playing a good fast game. As for me, well I beat Belmore, anyway. Everywhere Charlie Chaplin goes he is the life of the party. So is Syd Chaplin, but they never seem to go to the same parties together, altho they are the best of friends. I attended a party at Kathleen Clifford's and you should have seen the stunts Syd and Larry Semon pulled off. They were making coins disappear in midair and then they would discover them in queer places — such as in the mouths or slippers of some of the guests. These two when together are a whole show in themselves. You may not see much of Kathleen Clifford on the screen just now but she is very much in evidence in Hollywood all the time. nr.HERE is an atmosphere of inspiration and confidence over on the De Mi lie lots these days, owing no doubt to the tie-up with the Keith-Albee people whereby they are to have a large number of first-run houses and plenty of money besides. They have abandoned the plan of doing "The Deluge" (Noah's Ark) because the Bible is not copyrighted, and the patents on the ark must have expired by this time. Anyway, the great success of "The Ten Commandments" seems to make the producers think that the good old book has more than one good story left in it, and we will probably have sooner or later, Adam and Eve, Cain and Abel, Daniel in the Lion's Den, Ruth's Romance, The Star of Bethlehem, The Lord's Supper, The Sermon on the Mount, and so on.
