The Perfect Mascara The Screen in Review Continued from page 54 The narrative, though overlong, is vastly helped by superb acting, particularly on the part of Alice Brady and Frank Morgan, a vaudeville pair, whose son. Russell Hardie grows up and marries Madge Evans. Their son. Eddie Ouillan, enters the movies and goes Hollywood in a big way until his grandparents bring him to his senses. Excellent as Mr. Ouillan is as a brash, conceited youth, and Mr. Hardie and Miss Evans, first honors must go to Miss Brady and Mr. Morgan. Theirs are portraits that will endure long after the picture is forgotten. This is really entertainment for old-timers since it deals with bygone days along Broadway, beginning with Tony Pastor's in East Fourteenth and including Weber and Fields's Music Hall in its heyday. Unfortunately, the picture chooses at this point to become spectacular and to break out with Rasch dancers, which wasn't true to Weber and Fields's intimate type of show at all. But it does very well to inject flash into a film that really doesn't need it. "The Man Who Dared." Preston Foster, Zita Johann, Frank Sheridan, Irene Biller, Leon Waycoff, Joan Marsh. Director : Hamilton MacFadden. Although this picture is not generally liked, it has merit and should be seen by all those admirers of Preston Foster who write to Picture Play, not overlooking friends of Zita Johann who do the same. For both players give exceptional performances, sympathetic, unaffected, and real. True, the story is episodic and unexciting but for quiet biography it is well done. As you may know, it purports to trace the career of the late Mayor Cermak of Chicago from the time he arrived in this country, a Bohemian immigrant, till his life was ended by an assassin's bullet. Mr. Foster plays this part, renamed Jan Novak, and Miss Johann is his devoted wife who remains in the background and inspires his political ca reer. Few married couples on the screen have succeeded in making the marital relation as convincing or managed to be idealistic without becoming oversentimental. This brief reminder of a pleasing picture must not end without a word of commendation to Frank Sheridan for an exceptional portrait of an Irish politician. Continued on page 60 Maureen Laughs It Off Continued from page 39 "That he is too worldly for me is positively ridiculous. 1 like people for their real selves. I don't know anything about Johnny's 'wild' reputation. Maybe he is the bad man of the world Hollywood credits him with being, and does the many things he is accused of doing. I don't know. I do know 1 regard him in a very high light for what / know him to be, and I shall continue to." This from Maureen who had just passed her twenty-second birthday! A young person as straight as a die, as disarming as happy laughter, and as intelligent as a thoroughbred. I lolK wood creates many of its own rumors. Maureen was born and educated abroad, and holds to traditions that even a picture career will never shake. She understands Hollywood but Hollywood will never understand her. I have often been begged by other players : "Oh, don't publish that ! What would people think of me?" Too often there is a good reason for suppression. With the O'Sullivan it is never so. When the false rumor spread its rounds that she had become wild, she remained silent. "Why should I bother over a thing which is untrue?" she said. "People who strongly deny accusations are
