Where are the stars of yesteryear? Some of them are still going strong but others belong to the legion of the lost.
R
right stars I loved, inside the Kinema, where are you now? Where are you now?" is the moan of the Movie fan these days. The return of Pauline Frederick and Nazimova has reawakened fond thoughts of those others whose faces are never seen on the silver sheet now. And the Personal Columns of the daily papers could be filled to overflowing should anyone think of advertising all filmland's absentees to " Come back and all will be forgiven."
[ et us deal first with the " lost " ones. Stars who are " though lost to sight yet still to memory dear." Like Marguerite Clark, for instance. Dear little " Wildflower," " Prunella," " Babs." Heroine of hosts of other charming childhood and fairy tale films. Fans still write to George asking " What has become of Marguerite Clark?"
The answer's a wedding-ring. Marguerite married L. Palmerson Williams, a gentleman of the Old South, and is a leader of Society down in New Orleans. She still answers her fan mail, though it is pretty certain she will make no more screenplays. Not even Peter Pan.

Mercy Hatton and Gregory Scott have not been seen in filmland for ag.'s.
And, talking of wedding rings, why does the Editor of PICTUREGOER always look guilty when anybody mentions the fact that Mercy Hatton is seldom or never seen on the screen nowadays? Why, indeed? Because Mercy married and left the screen and it was all his doing. Hers was a PICTUREGOER romance, which commenced at the first Kinema Carnival at the Hotel Cecil, and culminated in wedding bells.
" Meet Russell Mallinson," said the Editor of PICTUREGOER, on the first-named occasion, " he writes interviews and articles in the PICTUREGOER."
" Delighted," said Mercy, who was a Romney lady that night.
They danced together all the evening, and that was the beginning of the end of the film career of a charming British star.
Then there is Gregory Scott, hero of so many Broadwest films. Or rather, there was Gregory Scott. When last heard from, he was chicken farming somewhere in Sussex and apparently Movieland will see him no more.
