Name Address City State sensational success in tlie UFA production, "Homecoming." It is said, however, that Miss Parlo is to return to Paramount in the early summer to do a talkie. .Vlthough it had been Paramount's hope to play Miss Parlo opposite Maurice Chevalier in "Innocents of Paris," undoubtedly she proved to be "not the type." Remember when all the studios were seeking new Mary Pickfords? A cute little girl called "Cuddles" came to view at that time. OlTicial doors swung wide, flunkies bowed and scraped. Conferences were held. Papers were signed. Then grandiloquent gestures were made in the public prints. THE little girl called "Cuddles," who had been a bright spot in Gus Edwards' "School Days" revue, was announced as a second Mary Pickford. The career of "Cuddles," otherwise Lila Lee, was almost wrecked on the rocks of publicity. She was years lighting for a place. A most capable actress indeed, Miss Lee, but a young lady with a personality all her own. It was only through tireless struggle that she saved herself from oblivion. One wonders if it is a sin to keep marriage a secret. Two years ago Patricia Avery was secretary to Cedric Gibbons, art director for M.-G.-.M. People used to look at her in awe and say, "Isn't she striking! Why doesn't somebody give her a break? Too bad they can't see talent right under their noses." Then one day John Stahl passed her way — John Stahl who at that time was directing for "M.-G.-M. but who now is the Stahl in TiffanyStahl. John saw the pretty little secretary enthroned behind the keyboard, and the gods of luck smiled. Miss Avery immediately became a "discovery" — not one lured from a foreign shore, but found under foot, so to speak. She exchanged her typewriter for a make-up box and played with Lillian Gish in " Annie Laurie. " Things looked bright indeed. Among her transient glories came "Baby Stardom " in the Wampas. Shortly thereafter however, some prying person discovered that Patricia Avery was married. Merrill Pye, art director, was her husband! No sin, of course, yet many who felt responsible for her success — and when one succeeds, it is appalling the number of individuals who feel responsible — were aggrieved because they had not been let in on the secret. Perhaps it had a bearing on the case, perhaps not. The fact remains, ne\-ertheless, that not so long after this news leaked out. Miss Avery discovered that she was no longer with M.-G.-M. Of late she has been seen in the quickies. IT is often difficult to follow the course of a "discovery" who has dropped out. Pride urges strange disguises, discouragement builds barriers that deflect the most diUgent search. Some continue to struggle ineffectuaUy, their flame of hope unquenched. Others enter allied Unes, marry or return disillusioned to their homes. Sally Rand, who streaked across the sky two years ago as a brilliant bonde, has taken her dancing feet and silk-clad legs to vaudeville. The lure of films may have faded for her, or possibly she hopes to return via the route of the talkies. She tried hard and worked indefatigably in pictures, but apparently her personality was not for the screen, and Pathe, having sponsored her as a "find," was forced to witiidraw its backing. Nowhere else in all the world does destiny choose such devious channels or offer such prophetic tokens as in this "City of Broken Hearts." Early in her career, Joyce Compton worked in a picture called "The Lost World, " little reaUzing that the words epitomized her fate. She is struggling hard to recapture her own "lost world," and if she succeeds it will be a triumph for determination and persistence.
