132 THE TWENTIES Maid Marian, Robin's lady fair, was played by Enid Bennett. She became the wife of Fred Niblo, the director, and later retired from the screen. ABOVE RIGHT Constance Binney made her stage debut as a dancer in Broadway musicals. Then the films beckoned, and she played opposite John Barrymore in The Test of Honor. She attained her greatest success in A Bill of Divorcement, made in England. Here she is in Tlie Sleepwalker, a Realart production of 1922. BELOW In 1923 another picture star tried becoming his own producer. Charles Ray, sick of the monotonous country-boy characterizations that had brought him such success and money, left the Ince Studios and sank a huge amount of money in a production of The Courtship of Miles Standish, with himself as John Alden. The picture failed, and Ray was never again able to regain his hold on the public. This reproduction of the Mayflower will give an idea of the elaborateness of the film.
