126 THE TWENTIES Acting on the principle that there's nothing like warming over a good title, Erich von Stroheim followed his 1919 money-maker, Blind Husbands, with Foolish Wives. As before, he wrote and directed it, besides starring in it, for Universal. The public liked it. In the scene above, he is having trouble with Dale Fuller. BELOW Dorothy Dalton is said to have revolutionized the vampire. Dorothv was a vamp, but there was nothing exotic about her. Just a good, wholesome, bad, home girl, you might say. Whatever the reason, the wickeder she got, the better the audience liked her. She began her stage career in stock and vaudeville and then went to California, where she played in a wide variety of pictures for Ince. After a while, she dropped the vamping altogether, to become a Western two-gun heroine. In this capacity she appears in The Crimson Cliallenge, made in 1922.
