THE IMPOSSIBLE MRS. BELLEW (1922) 121 As Lady Babbie in The Little Minister, Betty Compson scored a success that justified Paramount's making her a star after The Miracle Man. She was perfect as the titled young woman who preferred gadding about with gypsies to drinking tea in a castle. Another of Betty Compson's pictures that year was To Have and to Hold, costarring Bert Lytell with her. The contrasting scenes, some at the court of James II, some in the Jamestown colony, together with Indian fights and pirate skirmishes, gave Director George Fitzmaurice an opportunity to show what he could do BELOW Doug Fairbanks' going to United Artists left a gap in the Paramount ranks that was filled by Thomas Meighan, whose star ascended steadily after The Miracle Man. Here he is in a scene from If You Believe It, It's So, a crook comedy drama of 1922 in which Pauline Starke played opposite him. BELOW Gloria Swanson— with no trace of Mack Sennett left by now— had The Impossible Mrs. Bellew, a gaudy vehicle that enabled her to wear exotic clothes and consort with dukes and millionaires at a French watering place. Conrad Nagel, taking the whole thing very much to heart, is on the right.
