lovemaking that is successful. Con-way Tearle is one of the most satisserious and determined lover is wanted, as in 'The Common Law.
After all, the lovemaking that does not rest upon a solid foundation of sincerity must fail, no matter what may be its other characteristics, or how fine its technique, and for this reason Conway Tearle is one of the most satisfactory of screen suitors. That is why he is always in demand when a serious and determined lover is wanted, as in "The Common Law" and "The Forbidden Woman." In moments of disappointment he can give an impression, perhaps more intense than any other leading man I ever knew, that the entire world lias collapsed, and what woman could resist such an appeal to her sympathies?
Milton Sills, on the other hand, in such stories as "The Claw" and "The Savage Woman," never permits the impression that he is beaten. There is something of the "I'll get her yet" expression about his eyes that arouses admiration rather than sympathy. And after all, there is something compelling about that sort of lover.
So the variety, infinite and fascinating, goes on. There was Chester Parnett. the pathetic Little Billee to my "Trilby," as unhappy a lover as the world has ever known, but hardly a type of lover because he was a victim of circumstances that he could not possibly control. There was Earle Williams, the dignified gentleman type, and Harry Morey who takes one back to the primitive. There was Joseph Kilgour, the suave, manabout-town, and Rockcliffe Fellows, the rugged westerner, excellent contrasts in "The Easiest Way." There was Vernon Steele in "Hearts in Exile," a charming composite of the aristocratic, romantic and esthetic lover.
My own preference? This is purely my personal viewpoint, but of all the screen lovers I have had, '. really believe I prefer Paul Carellan', who played Armand to my "Camille." Of course, Mr. CapeFani had all the advantages in the world, for Armand is a wonderful role, and should inspire any man who has the least germ of talent for lo^-e-aking. But in addition to that he has the foreign — -einaps I should say the latin technique. The men of the iatin races are born lovers. This is undoubtedly because in the Anglo-Saxon countries women have been more companions of men. The latins set their women apart, on a pedestal perhaps you might say, and study them in all their manifestations. There is much to be said for both viewpoints
The American, for exapiple, does not study woman, and for that matter American women discourage men from studying them — as women. American women have demanded equality, and they deserve equality. But in fighting for that equality they have voluntarily relinquished their former prerogatives. Women in this country have been so insistent upon their claim that mentally and psychologically there is no difference between the sexes, that men have begun to believe it. Consequently they jump to the conclusion that women react to the same impulses and emotions as themselves, and make love as they would want a woman to make love to them if the situation were reversed.
