Photoplay (Jul - Dec 1927)

Photoplay Magazine — Advertising Section H7 "Jonsey" the preceding Friday. It was her first day at work since the sad services. "Oh. I am so glad you are going to write about 'Jonsey.' You see I am really just what 'Jonsey' and mother have made me. Why 'Jonsey' taught me everything I know. I haven't dared grieve for his death, for fear he would return and say, ' Is this the result of what I have taught you?' " "You see, 'Jonsey' was not such a big success in business. He was a philosopher and he wrote poetry. And he just made me be an actress. ISN'T it wonderful that he did live to see me do something of what he expected? You see, he saw me in 'Seventh Heaven' and 'Sunrise'." "Sunrise" is the F. W. Munrcau super-production which is finished but has not yet been released. "Ah, Jonsey was my severest critic. When he saw 'Seventh Heaven' he liked it but he said I would have done better five years later. He told me about holding my mouth, using my hands — he wanted me to take dancing — and always urged me to read. And that's another thing that makes me happy. Just a little time before — before he left us, I started reading in earnest. "And do you know, although 'Jonsey' was really such a great thinker and philosopher, isn't it funny that all he left of himself to the world was what he has given me? Whatever I do or become will be due to him. So he's sort of left me as his message — I can't help but make good, can I?—" "Miss Gaynor, Miss Gaynor — " called the assistant director, and she was oft" to her role in the rollicking, jolly comedy of " Two Girls Wanted." AND when she returned — " Isn't it funny? While I was making 'Seventh Heaven* and playing all that tragedy I was so happy. We were all so happy, mother and 'Jonsey' and I. And now I'm in my really first big comedy, 'Jonsey' is — But I don't believe I quite realize yet that 'Jonsey' is — " "Miss Gaynor. Miss Gaynor. Some close-ups, please — " called the assistant. And little Janet Gaynor in her trim maid's costume of silvery gray and lacy white cap hurried to her place behind the commonplace, everyday tea-wagon. "Lights — lights — " Electricians and prop men jumped to arrange the great Kleig brilliants. They jostled this way; they jostled that — One interfered with the other. One moment, two, three — My eyes had not left the piquant little face above the gray and white bosom. Then it happened. "Diane!" I was not the only one on that set who gave the involuntary exclamation. For the face that had carried the tears of Diane to an unparalleled place of dramatic glory around the world, trickled tears of the same intensity onto the gray dress of the little figure trying to play a comedy role before us. " J-o-n-s-e-y — " The tears which in a way Jonsey had created — the tears he brought to this world to immortalize the Diane of "Seventh Heaven," were now running in real earnest for — Janet's "Jonsey." if ml in toiletware —for your fitted bag, too LOOK FOR THE NAM E TH E SAFEGUARD OF QUALITY Womanly Beauty— Charm Wherever you go, whatever you wear, to be really attractive you must have a skin free from disfiguring hair.
