In your 'Teens, gentle cleansing is all your skin really needs. Use my Cleansing Cream. Ten Years Ago in Photoplay TEX years ago this month Photoflay drafted a recruit from the speaking stage. His name was Burns Mantle — then the dramatic critic of The Chicago Tribune, and now, in 1930, filling the same post on The New York Diiily News. He opened his brief career as a movie reviewer by taking a man's-si/.ed hack at "The Greatest Question," the latest production by D. W. Griffith. That picture was built around Lillian Gish, at that time at the height of her young powers. Mantle moaned because it was just another film in which poor Lil took another beating. v |N YOUR TWENTIES, the Second Age of I Beauty, your skin needs one added protection to meet the strain of widened activities and the use of make-up.

In 1916 Lucille Zintheo was one of the winners of PHOTOPLAY'S famous "Beauty and Brains Contest." Late in 1919 she was Larry Semon's leading lady. Where is she now? Tell us, Lucille! She was then, as she still is, the leading beatee of motion pictures. Burns didn't like it, and said so. Others in the cast of that picture were the late Robert Harron, Tom Wilson, and George Fawcett. C~}UR second review, this month, is of "The ^^Copperhead." This tine picture saw the cinematic coming of age of Lionel Harrymore, who gave a beautiful performance in the leading role. Doris Rankin, then his wife, played opposite, and others in the cast were Arthur Rankin (then a kid actor) and M. F. Schroell, an early and now forgotten Lincoln. This picture was dire, ted magnificently bv Charles Maigne. Late in 1929 Maigne died in a hospital in San Francisco, after a long illness. His wife, Anne Cornwall, actress, was at his bedside. Maigne was fifty, and long through with pictures. His best work lives after him, hidden somewhere in a round, fireproof can. TEN years ago other remembered pictures were noted and noticed . . . "Red Hot Dollars," with which Charles Ray followed his best work. Mantle called him "the male Mary Pickford." . . . And Paramount's "Huckleberry Finn," with Lewis Sargent in the name role. The picture was directed by William Desmond Taylor, later shot and killed by someone who to this day is an impenetrable mystery. . . . Our lead story this month is "If Christ Went to the Movies," written by the late Rev. Percy Stickney Grant, an ill-fated Episcopal clergyman of New York City. . . . And we get a little sensational this month, too. One of our feature stories is called "The Technique of Lovers," and was written by Clara Kimball Young, then the reigning beauty of the screen. And one who remembers her in 1919 will never forget her loveliness, particularly in the region of the eyes. WE have a swell story on the superstitions of picture actors. Maybe it would be even better today. At any rate, we read that Mary Pickford refuses to leave her home by the side door if she has previously entered by the front door; that she will allow no whistling in her dressing room, and that in all other matters she is utterly without bias. Chaplin, we find, cannot bear the smell of a cigarette or of gasoline in the morning, and that it is not superstition, but caution. Nazimova would not touch a violin, even at the pistol's point. And J. Warren Kerrigan says the numeral 7 brings him the worst possible luck. All of which was vastly important — in 1919. IIS month we trace one of the winners of •our famous "Beauty and Brains Contest." Her name was Lucille Zintheo, and we find, three years after the contest closed, that Lucille is playing opposite the late Larry Semon in his two-reel comedies. And a pretty girl she was! . . . Just about this time Lillian Gish directed sister Dorothy in a fivereel comedy, and made a good job of it, too. . . . We have a story on Alice Joyce, telling of the days when she posed for artists at fifty cents an hour. For that beauty? . . . M. D., of Hartford, Conn., digs up an odd mistake in a current picture. In an English scene in "The Miracle of Love," the leading lady is reading a supposedly English paper. But it happened to be The New York World. Was she so far wrong? Patsy II, Australia.— Pearl White's first Fox picture is "The White Moll." Anita Stewart is Mrs. Rudie Cameron. Y'wekkum. THI HOLLYWOOD has adapted the new fashions in graceful, charming ways.
