Why Little Mary Isn't Jealous
what Owen Moore told me about his leading ladies.
My question was something to the effect that I often wondered if the love scenes on the screen were only acted, or if they were not real sometimes.
"I can only speak for myself on that matter," said Mr. Moore, with a smile,
Fay Tincher, as the vampire in "The Battle of the Sexes," had Moore as a "lover."
"and I cannot say that all the love scenes I have appeared in before the camera were merely acted, for those between Mary and myself were more real than the public who saw them realized. As far as the "love scenes" with my other leading ladies go, however, I can truthfully say it was merely acting. They were my friends, the
same as the other players about the studios, and the fact that the picture in which we were working called for a love scene between us never made us anything more than friends."
"It would be interesting, though," I persisted, "to tell the fans your viewpoint of each of the leading ladies you have had."
He smiled, and then replied : "I suppose you think, like many others, that some of my opinions should be omitted, but you are wrong. I have never experienced the unpleasantness of a disagreement with any of the girls I have worked with. They have all been jolly good fellows and true friends, and, I am glad to say, I have never been unfortunate enough to be teamed with any of the socalled 'temperamental' type. Starting right at the very beginning with Florence Lawrence, my first leading lady, I can recall certain things in regard to all of them which makes me proud to state I played opposite this or that girl.
"What I admired about Miss Lawrence was that she was an artist to the finger tips. She lacked any tion or co?ic harmo"' way, were v screen.
"Marion Leonard I thoroughly enjoyed working with. She was creative in her work, and her valuable suggestions always helped gain success.
"Poor Florence Barker, who recently died, was a charming soul, and had a splendid career paved for her. She had a very good personality, and her performances were excellentlv finished.
