The Photo-Play Journal (Jul 1919-Feb 1921)

October, 1920 61 LOVE on the Mexican Border Sweetly she smiled into the eyes of both, kisses she took from both — the ruddy American and the dark-skinned Mexican. And in the strong arms of the man from the North, was it any wonder that for the moment she forgot that Pedro would soon be there? Her punishment? Men of the North laugh coldly and pass on, but the Southern brother below the Rio Grande loves, as he hates, with a singleness that knows no mercy. On this erring woman, going so gayly to her fate, O. Henry could look with excuse and pity, as he did on the weaknesses of women always, everywhere, for he knew their small shoulders hear burdens that would break the backs of men. O. HENRY His death put an end to a life as varied and romantic as one of his own tales — for he was one of the lovable spirits of earth. At heart he was always a vagabond, a wandering minstrel, telling the stories that just bubbled from him as he went his seeing way. More people are reading O. Henry today than ever before. They read him because he has the flavor of life as we know it, the tang, the zest, the breathless, careless haste, the ironic, happy, tragic irresponsibilities which go to make up life as it is really lived. 17151717 CONAN DOYLE riVlLJL 7 Volumes The Only Complete Set of Sherlock Holmes Stories Ever Published Problems that have baffled the most vigilant of police — crimes that have left no slightest trace of the criminal — false clues, that have led trained detectives off the scent — all these he has probed with that super-human genius that has thrilled all the world. Pear, hate, love, revenge, passion — all those desperate motives which ravage men's minds and women's hearts and make these mysteries eternally yours and real.

REAL NEWS OF REEL PEOPLE (Continued from page 52) phenomena, the Goldwyn director replied, "Yes, I do. But what are they?" * * t Alice Duer Miller, the novelist, is the author of "Ladies Must Live," George Loane Tucker's Mayflower production to follow "The Miracle Man." It has just been completed. * * * Helen Raymond, English comedienne who created the role of Signora Monti in the original London production of "Twin Feds," portrays it in the Carter de Haven celluloid version now being made under the direction of Lloyd Ingraham. In his now famous picture, "Humoresque," Frank Borzage worked under difficulties that he might secure the most perfect atmosphere. He chose for the less important members of his cast actual inhabitants of New York's Ghetto, people who had never been before a camera in their lives. * * * An entire year was consumed by Gecrge Beban in making his second independent photoplay, "One Man in a Million." "I worked sincerely on the picture every one of those 365 days," he says. * * * Once in the movies apparently the lure of it can never be thrown off. Bessie Love went all the hot three thousand and more miles to New York — and when she got there spent most of her time in the motion picture theatres ! Bessie reminds one of the London bus driver who got his first day off in ten years and spent it riding around the city on a bus. * '* * These four stars will appear under the Robert Brunton banner during the ensuing year: Dustin Farnum, Fritzie Brunette, Ruth Roland and Charles Hutchinson. While the rest of the Hollj'wood film colony sits and sips from tall, cool glasses, Fritzie Brunette goes blithely about her tennis, unaware of the heat. Fritzie comes from 'way down south, and an occasional 100 degrees makes little impression on her. * * * Frank Lanning, the player of heavy roles, was married the other day to Merva Eaton, a non-professional. ^ # =£ Although Henry King is famous for his direction of child actors and actresses, his own attractive kiddies never appear before the camera, and will not at least until they have reached their 'teens. One of his children achieved fame as Ruth Stonehouse in films, but was withdrawn by the parents and put into school. ^ ^c ;£ An imposter representing himself to be D. W. Griffith has been fleecing guests in poker games at eastern resorts. The real Griffith says he never played poker but once and that time he committed the offense of trumping his partner's ace. * * * At the Harold Lloyd studio in Los Angeles Mildred Davis and "Snub" Pollard have a good-natured rivalry to see who can think up the drollest poses for photographs. When Mildred appeared one day in an aviation helmet, a bathing suit, and a pair of army shoes, "Snub" gave up the contest." * * * "All Souls' Eve," adapted from the Anne Crawford Flexner stage play, will be an early vehicle for Mary Miles Minter. William Conklin, one of the most popular of the leading men, will next be seen in Metro's all-star production of "White Ashes." * * * Arthur Edmund Carew, having recovered from a severe operation, will resume his place among the screen players after an absence of some months.
