Meet the Duchess! [ CONTINUED FROM PAGE 39 ] Pretense is not one of her gifts. She has the frankness of the true aristocrat. John Masefield is her literary favorite. She reads him constantly because he interests her. But so do boxoffice reports, Poetry and practicality. Her taste in pictures is positive and critical. She considers "Driven" the finest work thus far executed— not a grain of hokum in it. "But it didn't pa)'," she deplored, proving that she knows boxoffice reports as well as artistic values. "Neither did 'Sentimental Tommy,' another masterpiece." I ventured the optimistic thought that the public might in time be educated to an appreciation of such art. She shook her head. "Is Tolstoy popular? Does the public at large crave Barrie?" When I arose to go I noted some of her photographs on the table. "Do you like them?" she asked. I didn't. There was a nun-like severity about them. "Too virginal," I said. Her brows puckered slightly. "Oh dear," she murmured plaintively, "that will never do. Photographers don't seem to get me." They don't. Neither do directors, as yet; She's a slim flambeau of alabaster, waiting the touch of flame. I recalled my first impression of her. It was the opening night of Von Stroheim's "Foolish Wives." She was in ermine, an imperial wreath of gold leaves about her head, a diadem suiting her patrician features and queenly impassivity. I thought of Josephine at the coronation in Notre Dame. Mais noil. Rather the pagan Zenobia in the emperor's Roman triumph, moving in purple, gems and amaranth amid the swirling incense. When she finishes "Under the Red Robe" she says she is going to wait until she finds the right role. Then perhaps the flame will melt that frigidity of feature, burst through that majestic marble calm, and we will behold, as the Parisian taxi driver did, a flaming Borgia! Gag Men [ CONTINUED FROM PAGE 45 ] day, while he watched Harold carrying out one of his ideas. "A situation is the meat and a gag is the dressing. A gag must always depend upon true characterization or logical development of a situation. It takes a serious minded guy to think up gags. "I do a lot of them — but Harold is a marvelous gag man himself. He works right with me on everything." Lloyd Hamilton has a gag man named Archie Mayo, who used to be a shirt salesman, but had so many funny ideas when he was selling Hamilton shirts the comedian invited him to become a gag man. Which he did. Al Christie, who has made over nine hundred comedies, is a great gag man, and works supervising this line of work for the entire studio. He also employs a gag department of six or eight men. Oh, it's a lucrative, respectable, and laudable profession in Hollywood — gagging. STIMULATED by the success of "Robin Hood" and "The Covered Wagon," virtually every producer is hastening to film costume pictures. The public will be swamped by costume pictures this fall, with enough to extend over the entire next year. As usual, many producers see only the external. The success of such pictures as "The Covered Wagon" and "Robin Hood" is not due to costumes. Clothes do not make a picture. Nor do time and place matter so long as the story is great. There is this to be said, however, for dramas of other times and of other places, they give to the screen a longdesired variety. Every advertisement in PnOTOPLAT MAGAZINE is guaranteed.
