Photoplay Magazine — Advertising Section 119 She Hates Broadway! (Concluded) company three weeks' notice. Really, it was just as though I had left home. They felt so hurt and grieved. "I played in pictures with Tom Moore. I am glad that he has done so well. I love to see the real screen players make good. To me it seems that the stage players caused all this fever for high salaries, with limousines and bungalows thrown in. Producers engage 'Broadway' leading men at high salaries when they ought to develop the talent in their own studios. 'Broadway' names don't mean much in the small towns. The small town people are better acquainted with the regular movie actors. And let me tell you, small town popularity is the success that counts." You see, living in Weehawkan has made Marguerite scornful of Broadway. Names of individuals in electric lights are not visible from the Jersey shore. You only glimpse a misty glare. "After Kalem I went to Gaumont and then to Famous Players. You may remember 'The Kiss' and 'Rolling Stones.' And then this country went into the war. And I did a little war work. "You see, over in Weehawken there was a recruiting office for the marines. I used to help them out. Finally the sergeant who did the desk work was ordered to France. They needed someone to take his place and I volunteered. It took all my time so I had to drop my studio work. Then I made tours and sold war savings stamps. And I met some boys from the middle west so I adopted them and wrote to them all once a week while they • were abroad. Altogether I was away from the screen for a year. So it's very necessary that I catch up now. "I came back in 'The Perfect Lover,' with Eugene O'Brien. And then I made 'The Teeth of the Tiger' for Famous Players, with David Powell." Then she did "Bound and Gagged," a Pathe serial. "I wasn't very anxious to play in a serial," she said, "and before I signed the contract I took good care to find out that I wasn't the person to be bound and gagged. But I haven't regretted it." Besides living in Weehawken, Miss Courtot can boast of two other departures from type. She has never been to Los Angeles and she doesn't use any make-up, except a coating of powder when she is before the camera. By Request THERE had been a movie ball and one of the principal cafes of the city was filled with fans and notables. A large male person stepped upon the orchestra platform and announced: "By special request the orchestra will now play 'The Maiden's Dream,' dedicated to Miss Tottie Twinkle the famous Superba Picture Corporation star, and based upon her latest cinema triumph of the same name. 'The Maiden's Dream,' ladies and gents, by special request." "By whose request?" demanded a nearby diner. "By request of Miss Tottie Twinkle's press agent," the imperturbable, though not especially sapient announcer replied. ANY good photodrama shows the stars in their makeup, but only the Photoplay Magazine Screen Supplement reveals the great screen favorites off the studio floor — in their homes — automobiles — living their real lives. Ask your neighborhood exhibitor when the Supplement will show in his theatre. ifolvhmvea^ru tgkSkinairnootk :oahi ^ahnu J^dui Use Tissue Cream — "One of the Sev The normal skin is 1 ing — fine in textureprovided with enough natural oil to keep the surface moist and free from any tendency to wrinkle.
