KATHRYN MURRAY, Inc. Suite 1 159 Garland Bldg. Chicago Illinois New Stars for Old Continued ft have considerable invention, too. With the assistance of Miss Fair he is giving the screen an entree it has been craving — racy farce. While writing these paragraphs a newspaper advertisement of "His Debt," with Sessue Hayakawa came to my attention. The exhibitor of a Middle Western town in advertising this production saw fit to lift another player from the cast for a featured position along with that of the star, with the result that we read this line, "Jane Novak also in this picture." The theater manager evidently had reason to believe Miss Novak had a following, and I believe the same. She has been skipping about from company to company as leading woman. Some day she is going to stay fixed as a permanent luminary. Still another young leading woman who never fails to interest, yet who has not been critically tried in a big part, is Agnes Ayres. She has played in short O. Henry subjects and various Vitagraph productions. When I saw "The Gamblers," with Harry Morey, I wished she had been cast in the leading feminine role. She will have her opportunity one of these days, and we believe she will make the most of it. "Cutie Beautiful" Seymour became famous by her part in "The Girl Who Stayed at Home." The character name has almost supplanted her own, Clarine. She testi om page 31 lied on a witness stand that a slapstick comedy concern had fired her because she couldn't act. "Are you acting now?" asked the judge. "Yes," said Clarine modestly, "With Mr. Griffith's company."' "You win," said the judge, or something to that effect, and the young lady received judgment against the comedy works. I am inclined to believe that the young lady will continue to play the jazz type of "The Girl Who Stayed at Home." Perhaps, with a thorough schooling under the tutelage of Mr. Griffith, she will become one of our star comediennes. She has beauty and personality, and, as we said, that combination has made many a public favorite secure. It is manifestly impossible to list all the players who have been doing good work. Almost each succeeding month brings forward a new player of interest. From out of the past twelve months I have selected those that impressed me as being the most likely players of star potentiality. At least, it will be of interest to the film astronomer to keep his glass on Richard Bartheimess, Doris May, Eugene O'Brien, Helen Jerome Eddy, Elliott Dexter, ZaSu Pitts, Jean Paige, Betty Blythe, Robert Gordon, Wanda Hawley, Al Ray, Agnes Ayres, Gloria Swanson, Jane Novak, Douglas MacLean, and Clarine Seymour. Y\7E'VE heard a rumor that Charlie Chaplin may win more fame playing "Hamlet" on the stage than he's already acquired in movies.
