Alice Joyce continued to grow in stature as an actress. William Farnum maintained his hold on the public and was outstanding in "If I Were King." Thomas Meighan was thoroughly deserving of his new star billing. Richard Barthelmess, after his fine work in "Broken Blossoms" and "Way Down East," achieved stardom. Constance Talmadge, Mabel Normand and Dorothy Gish continued as the screen's most delightful comediennes. Chaplin and Harold Lloyd were among the leading comedians.
