Above and below : Two portrait studies of Wanda Haivley
" ' Kedzie Thropp ' in that film," mused Wanda, " was a real saucy little salamander. Not a sub-deb like Marguerite Clarke's ' Babs,' nor an ingdnue like ■Mary Pickford. Just a salamander."
Unwilling to confess my ignorance, I agreed that
'" Kedzie " undoubtedly was
a salamander. If I remem " ^~^
her rightly, she was the young lady who belied the title and did have everything, including a ducal husband, played by Elliott Dexter. Leads with
Bryant Washburn, W. S. Ha'rt, Charles Ray, Wallace Reid, and Robert Warwick followed. One of her cherished daydreams had been to work
Wanda Hawlev in " The Outside Woman."
It's " Hobson's Choice" for Wanda in that crinoline.
with the Talmadges — Norma is Wanda '.s
ideal screen-actress. She did make one
picture with Constance, A Pan of Silk
Stockings. One of her best roles was
that of "Betty Hoyt " in For
Better, For Worse, also a De Millc
production. This war time story
starred Gloria Swanson and Elliott
Dexter, but Tom Forman and Wanda
Hawley ran away with the honours.
Tom, you remember, was the young
soldier who returned on the day
his wife was about to marry her
old sweetheart. And Wanda was
the nice girl who had loved him all
the time, and who consoled him for
his sufferings.
Incidentally, Wanda remarked that a sincere role like that one was a delight to her, though she's versatile, and tackles comedy, farce, costume, or character parts quite easily. " My best part," she said, rather wistfully', " no one will ever see. I mean ' Peg,' of course. Oh, you don't know how I loved playing ' Peg.' (In Peg a' My Heart.) It was my first star picture, and everybody was so interested in it. Laurette Taylor wrote to me, and promised to come down. John McCormack came down. We had such a cast, too. Tom Meighan was ' Jerry ' (the only time I ever played with Tom, though I know him very well). Barbara Castleton and Mayme Kelso were the two English ladies. Then, after we'd quite finished, the blow fell.
" The author, Hartley Manners, had sold the play to Oliver Morosco, and he disposed of the film rights to FamousI>asky. Neither knew that this wasn't allowable. Anyway,. there was a law-suit, which Famous-Lasky won. But the matter was taken before a superior court, and, as often happens, the judgment was reversed, and the film copyright of ' Peg ' reverted to the author. And no one was sorrier than ' Peg ' herself, Laurette Taylor, who sent me the .sweetest of letters."
