170 Pauline Frederick
makes a singular success in a picture, at once these " tearer downers " will assert that her legs are padded to make them look a good shape or if a close-up is shown on the screen, then it was " someone else's " legs which were photographed for this close-up! But what can be expected when even Will Shakespeare was not allowed to enjoy the authorship of his own works! So because Pauline Frederick was as fine a " Queen Elizabeth " as has ever been seen before the footlights, the " tearer downers " had to look for something to mar the praise if they could. She played the part of Elizabeth in " Elizabeth the Queen " and in " Mary of Scotland " and there were those in the cast who resented her success and did what they could to detract from it. Pauline would have shrugged her shoulders and smiled a rather sad smile over such statements, particularly those regarding the tantrums. Very often the best way to treat lies is to ignore them. After all, as she so very often remarked, there is room for all of us in this world to have our own special quota of success, so why resent the other fellow's.
The west coast tour in " Elizabeth the Queen " opened first at the Belasco Theatre in Los Angeles and then went to the Curran in San Francisco. On the night of the dress rehearsal, a professional make-up artist was hired from one of the film studios. He worked upon Pauline first, but when he had finished she was not satisfied. To her way of thinking she looked too much like Pauline Frederick and not enough like Queen Elizabeth. She commented upon this to the artist who replied that it was not necessary to completely disguise her beautiful features; the audience would want to see Pauline Frederick. Well, after all, when we consider how much Disraeli, Rothschild, Richelieu and Voltaire were all like George Arliss, this point of view from a film make-up expert can be understood!
