BROKEN BLOSSOMS (1919) 87 Richard Barthelmess had been in pictures for three years, but it was his sensitive and touching performance as the young Chinese who befriends the little slum girl, in Broken Blossoms, that set him on the road to a brilliant career. BELOW Gloria Swanson, having been graduated cum laude from the ranks of the Sennett Bathing Beauties, was starred by Paramount in a screen version of Sir James M. Barrie's The Admirable Crichton. Director Cecil B. DeMille changed the title to Male and Female, with the explanation, so the story goes, that the original name might have led the average moviegoer to think that he was going to see a navy picture!
