Advertising Section 107 A Prophet of the Cinema | Continued from page 90 told about it very simply, without any heroics, even with an impersonal humor such as the Sea Wolf might have shown. It would have broken some men — but not Hobart Bosworth. He resolved to '"come back" — and come back he did. It has left some scars upon his inner spirit. His blue, alert eyes look very tired at times. But the experience gave him a perspective that man)' a rising young star might take a lesson from. "I learned that you are only as big as the real you — inside — measures up. Fame ? Why that can pass in the night. It means nothing ; less than nothing. Money, applause, fair-weather friends — they don't count. It is when you are stripped of everything, even your health, that you find out how big the universe is, and how small the individual is. You learn that you have to begin building again — inside of you. If you can do that, nothing can hurt you again." Now Hobart Bosworth has reestablished himself as one of the screen's best character actors. He brings to every characterization a sincerity, a finesse, that is the result of his triumphant fight against fate. There is a bigness about him that sets him apart. A wonderfully sympathetic voice, a virility, a graphic trick of using gestures to illustrate whatever he is saying. His pictures are extremely popular in Japan. Even the old ''Sea Wolf" has been reissued many times over there. A Japanese actor told him the reason for his Oriental following: "It is because you always struggle so hard for what you believe to be right. Even the Sea Wolf died fighting— his spirit was never beaten." "Since I am to be billed as a prophet," he said, "I'll make another prophecy. The pictures of the future are going to swing back to simple, sincere portrayals of life. Just now the influence is coming from the Continent. Emil Jannings' picture, 'The Last Laugh,' is a wonderful example of that. Look at the theme ! Just the bare portrayal of an aging man's losing fight. Yet it swept Broadway off its feet. If I had taken the script of that story to any producer in America and said, 'Look, this would make a wonderful picture,' I would have been judged insane. But sooner or later it will come. Pictures of filth and sordidness will pass into the discard. When? Oh, ask me something easy. I wouldn't risk my reputation as a prophet by setting a definite date. The people who said the world was coming to an end got into trouble that wav." The Beauty Touch Your Skin Needs The appearance of your skin and complexion reflects the degree of your beauty.
