Where ia Ivy Close? I'll tell you.
Ivy played in La Roue {The
Wheel) with Abel Gance in the
year 1922, and in a few Stoll
films after that. But she
recently lost her husband,
Elwin Neame, the famous
photographer, and now devotea herself
.rr\niK dm his business, and to the
of in r children. I. i/st -Henry Edwards, actor, ud
Guy Newall director. Likewise Victor
Seaatrom, actor. Seaatrom, who ^ one of screenland's finest artists, directs only
those days. Guy Newall asked for -'id
obtained leave-of -absent e from filmland tc write a book. Then he W'red for an extension to make said book into a play for his wife Ivy Duke, promising to film it afterwards. Now he's bs d< serted and become a film actor (in What the Butler Saw). But he really belongs amongst the strays, for he mav return. And Henry Edwards positively will return.
A prime favourite a few years ago was Olga Petrova from Petrogral. This noted stage-actress won thousands of friends for herself via the silversheet. Have you forgotten her? Or <5o you want her back. If so it's up to you to shout for her. And all serial fans should unite in one tremendous and far-reaching yell for Pearl White, who declares she is through with acting for ever.
jWlissing from filmland since a year or two before the war, Godfrey Tearle has deprived picturegoers all over the world of a really worth while someoncto-rave-about. He is considered by many, the finest actor on the British stage; he has personality, good looks — 'n'everything. His last film was a coloured costume play, made, I believe, in France. He screened splendidly. Why was he allowed to drop out? Film fans rave over Conway Tearle, bur, with all due respect to Conway, Godfrey is a far better actor, and where Conway commands his ten thousand admirers Godfrey could command his twenty. If he would. But he's an extremely modest man. He objects to publicity, and especially personal publicity. He'll probably object to this. But won't some good, kind producer please sign up Godfrey Tearle.
Why W. H. Berry has never made a film is something I never could understand. Here is a face which could move mountains — to laughter. The genial comedian would be a second John Bunny if someone would just write a few bright scenarios for him.
Mary Miles Minter hasn't entered a studio for a year. She was so much ahead of schedule that her last Realart feature is only just released. And she has enough £ s. d. to keep her in luxury for life, yet she will return one day.
Co much for the lost ones. Now for the stolen — the stage has taken most of them. Commencing with Eille Norwood who is taking Sherlock Holmes in person round the provinces, we are left lamenting Milton Rosmer, Cecil Humphreys, Olive Sloan, Mary Clare, Phyllis Neilson Terry, Nora Swinburne. Langhorne Burton, Ethel Clayton, Elsie Ferguson, Alice Lake, Miriam Battista and Constance Binney. (Continued oil page 54).
