I was always confronted with the problem of getting my little girls interested in the performance of their necessary daily tasks, until one day returning from a " Billie Dove" picture the elder ^irl said, "I would give anything to look like Billie Dove." So I told them of the daily care and work of the stars to keep their beauty, health and position. Consequently, they have acquired a sense of orderliness in their rooms, neatness and taste in dress and master their lessons, music, etc., thoroughly with pleasure, holding the thought that some day they may be famous and lovely like Janet Gaynor, Mary Brian or Billie Dove! Mrs. O'Baley. Minding Their Pros and Cons IRENE LIEBERT, of Manitowoc, Wis., is hereby appointed valedictorian of the Brickbat and Bouquet graduating class on the strength of the following phrase: "A silent picture is cunningly devised and graved with sibylline promise; whereas: the talkies are gruffly straightforward." We don't know what it means, but it sounds swell. Cecil B. De Mille has a lot to answer for. LOUISE LYDIA LYBARGER, of Newark, N. J., who used to be a devotee of "jazz pictures," went to see "The King of Kings" and promptly lost interest in saxophones and other hollow svmbols of this fleshly life. LUCILE MOORE, of Terre Haute, Ind., is running a temperature over Jack Oakie. She wants to be marked down as a Jack Oakie fan for "always and forever." We'll enter you on the waiting list, Lucile. At last — a histrionic yardstick — a means of measuring dramatic talent! MABEL HARRIS, of Nicholasville, Ky., offers this: "I despise moustaches. I like Ronald Colman in spite of his, which convinces me, at least, that he is an actor." MRS. H. S. SCHANCK, of Jamaica, L. I., is strongly in favor of the personal appearance of an actor or actress along with his or her current picture. She says Leatrice Joy got a wonderful reception when she appeared in Brooklvn. WARD HUTCHINSON, of Paris, France, thinking no doubt of the comebacks staged by such seasoned troupers as Bessie Love, Lila Lee, Betty Compson and others, remarks: "The talkies seem to have 'discovered' more old actors than new ones." London, in the person of H. F. HOMER, refutes the old allegation that Englishmen have no humor by telling us that Lloyd, Chaplin and Keaton comedies are always held over at London theaters "by popular demand." He sends a specially big bouquet to Messrs. Laurel and Hardy. SPENCE MENDENHALL, of Salt Lake City, Utah, will probably be lynched by outraged Garbo and Crawford fans, but since this is a symposium we'll have to let him have his say. Here it is: "You can keep all your salloweyed, hollow-cheeked, flat-chested, anaemiclooking women like Greta Garbo, Josephine Dunn and Joan Crawford, but give me Clara Bow — the most human person on the screen and America's greatest actress." Meadows, wrap up Clara Bow for the gentleman. A young lady who prefers to remain anonymous says: "I'd like to tell every girl that I've followed Photoplay's tips on the fashions and I'm always dressed up to the moment." We-e-11! (business of rubbing hands and expanding chest). ASTRID SOLBERG, who is languishing away up in Molde, Norway, likes American pictures "because they do not overdo the characters and the play the way so many European films do." (Bet Astrid's a blonde.) C. PHILLIPS, of Nutley, N. J., is pretty much upset to hear of Leslie Fenton's exodus from the films. She thinks he's a swell actor. As if the old Hollywood guard weren't losing enough sleep over microphone troubles already! —PAUL PETRUCCELLI, the old meanie, suggests that Photoplay establish an "English Box" so that readers can send in errors spoken on the talking screen. NEWELL HOWARD, of Salisbury, Md., merits an editorial salaam. He is embarking on his tenth year as a regular reader of Photoplay. Portable talkies ! The above device will bring talking pictures to the school, church, hospital, lecture hall and home — and it can be set up anywhere in less than fifteen minutes.
