Picture-Play Magazine (Mar-Aug 1926)

Advertising Section 115 The Screen in Review Continued from page 74 met on that common meeting ground, the screen, and unless I am very much mistaken, "Ben-Hur" should go on and on, as the nearest thing 10 a Passion Play that America is likely to produce. Mae Murray Back to the Old Life. "The Masked Bride" is a fantastic tale of that underworld of Paris of which we have so often been told. There is the Montmartre studio and the apache dance, with Mae Murray as the lady who gets the worst of this old argument. Miss Murray is indeed a beautiful dancer. There is a big-hearted millionaire who hopes to take her away from her sordid surroundings, and he is none other than our old friend, Francis X. Bushman. Mr. Bushman seems a trifle wooden, but possibly that was just the depressing result of possessing so much money. Roy d'Arcy, that steadily advancing young man, plays the part of a French prefect of police with engaging humor. Basil Rathbone is Miss Murray's dancing partner, and he ver)r nearly takes the acting honors of the picture. Miss Murray's acting has suffered a relapse since "The Merry Widow," which only goes to prove that there is more in directing than meets the eye. Political Entanglements. In the very first part of "The Golden Cocoon," a Warner Brothers picture, the heroine faints on the steps of a house of ill fame, to put it mildly, and "s carried in and revived. Years later, this unfortunate incident pops up almost in time to ruin her husband's political career. Just why ladies in such predicaments do not speak up and tell what, really happened, I have never been able to fathom. A prying taxi driver causes all the trouble, as he saw the lady in question come out of the house. M ost taxi drivers do not even remember the number of a house for more than five blocks, and I have yet to find one who knows whether the even numbers are on the north or south side of the street, so it seems a little far fetched that this particular one should remember a face through many long years. However, without the memory, there would have been no plot, and without the plot, no picture, and without the picture, I could not have had an opportunity of renewing an interest in Helene Chadwick. She is so seldom to be seen and so well worth seeing, that I would sit through How the Shape of My Nose eia u.ccess EDITH NELSON I HAD tried so long to get into the movies. My Dramatic Course had been completed and I was ready to pursue my ambitions. But each director had turned me away because of the shape of my nose. Each told me I had beautiful eyes, mouth and hair and would photograph well — but my nose was a "pug" nose — and they were seeking beauty. Again and again I met the same fate. I began to analyze myself. I had personality and charm. I had friends. I was fairly well educated, and I had spent ten months studying Dramatic Art. In amateur theatricals my work was commended, and I just knew that I could succeed in motion pictures if only given an opportunity. I began to wonder why I could not secure employment as hundreds of other girls were doing. FINALLY,^ late one afternoon, after another "disappointment," I stopped w to watch a studio photographer who was taking some still pictures of Miss B , a well-known star. Extreme care was taken in arranging the desired poses. "Look up and over there," said the photographer, pointing to an object at my right, "a profile ," "Oh, yes, yes," said Miss B , instantly following the suggestion by assuming a pose in which she looked more charming than ever. I watched, I wondered, the camera clicked. As Miss B walked away, I carefully studied her features, her lips, her eyes, her nose . "She has the most beautiful nose I have ever seen," I said half audibly. "Yes, but I remember," said Miss^ B 's maid, who was standing near me, when she had a 'pug' nose and she was only an extra girl, but look at her now. How beautiful she is." IN a flash my hopes soared. I pressed my new-made acquaintance for further comment. Gradually the story was unfolded to me. Miss B had had her nose reshaped — yes, actually corrected—actually made over, and how wonderful, how beautiful it was now. This change perhaps had been the turning point in her career! It must also be the way of my success ! "How did she accomplish it?" I asked feverishly of my friend. I was informed that M. Trilety, a face specialist of Binghamton, New York, had accomplished this for Miss B in the privacy of her home ! THANKED my informant and turned back to my home, determined that the means of overcoming the obstacle that had hindered my progress was now open for me. I was bubbling over with hope and joy. I lost no time in writing M. Trilety for information. I received full particulars. The treatment was so simple, the cost so reasonable, that I decided to purchase it at once. I did. I could hardly wait to begin treatment. At last it arrived. To make my story short— in five weeks my nose was corrected and I easily seciared a regular position with a producing company. I am now climbing fast— and I am happy. ATTENTION to your personal appearance is nowadays essential if you expect to succeed in life. You must "look your best" at all times. M.
