New York, or 630 So. Wabash Ave., Chicago Something different for 'Bobbed Hair There is a tremendous difference in bobs. Some are wonderfully attractive and becoming, while others, well — which kind is vours ? I wish you could picture the becoming kind I have in mind — the sort that makes men turn to admire. I can't tell you what the color is, but it's fullof those tiny dancing lights that somehow suggest auburn, yet which are really no more actual color than sunlight. It's only when the head is moved that you catch the auburn suggestion— the fleeting glint of gold. You have no idea how much your bob can be improved with the "tiny tint" Golden Glint Shampoo will give it. If you want a bob like that I have in mind, buy a package and see for yourself. At all drug stores, or send 25^ direct to J.W. Kobi Co., 678 Rainier Ave., Seattle, Wn. Golden Glint SHAMPOO A CHANGE OF PLANS Circumstances which have arisen since our last issue went to press have changed the original plans of Famous Players regarding "The Sorrows of Satan." The production is not to be made on the huge scale at first decided upon, and Richard Dix will not take part in it, as was announced last month. Dix will undoubtedly be cast in the leading role of some other big production within the next few months, but for the present he will continue in comedies. What the Fans Think Continued from page 11 Eight Favorites. Here are my favorite stars, all nicely listed, and the reasons why I like them: Rudolph Valentino. The perfect Borgia ; Casanova in a "straight-eight ;" all the gorgeousness and subtlety that was the Italy of Machiavelli. He is the screen's most attractive man, and never acts as if he knew it. Norma Shearer. The typical American society girl — the way she ought to be. She is much more womanly than the majority of the movie stars, and unbobbed. (Hurrah!) Although she is very modern, one can picture her as one of the ladies those old troubadours of France sung of in their chansons. Lew Cody. Why don't we see more of him, and hear more about him? He is Jurgcn come to life — the eternal trifler with love and life — the connoisseur of thistledown loves. He is the only man on the screen that one can call cute without implying a lack of manliness. He's just a little boy playing grown up, for all of that devilish mustache ! Esther Ralston. The original blue-and-gold fairy princess; the Lady of Shallott; the unattainable dream girl ; Psycho — poetry, starlight, and fairy rings. Well, I am becoming incoherent! Anyway, you can judge for yourself whether or not I am wild about her! Wallace Beery. Bluff King Hal himself. He has mastered the art of lovable villainy — or has he tried to master .it at all? I doubt it. I think he acts as if it were perfectly natural for him to be just as he is. And praise be unto Allah that he is — just that! What a personage he is ! — a half-comic, half-heroic figure — Falstaff, and the third Plantagenet. Aileen Pringle. She is aristocratic without being frigid ; beautiful without being dumb; alluring without being vampish, and she possesses a' sense of humor without indulging in it all over the set, or trying to be cute. Douglas Fairbanks. Every gallant and roistering cavalier that ever swashbuckled his way around Whitehall or Versailles ; the spirit of old romance. I think that he realizes and regrets that he was born several hundred years too late. What a figure he would have cut at Poitiers ! Mary Pickford. I know it is the fashion nowadays for the sophisticated to belittle our Mary, but I, for one, will never think of her but as the most absolutely perfect thing God ever made. Why attempt to describe the indescribable? Any adjectives that I could use would be inadequate. Leah B. Drake. Waverly Apartments, Hampton Court, Lexington, Ky. Concerning Wallace Reid's Pictures. I would like to say a few words about the reissuing of Wallace Reid's old pictures. If the Paramount organization cannot see its way clear to reissue these pictures, it is because they have too many new pictures. Well, if they don't want to place the Wallace Reid pictures in competition with these, why not cut the Reid pictures down? Many a five-reel picture could be cut to advantage. I firmly believe that some of his pictures reissued and released in two reels would make a bigger hit than if they were released in their original form. In addition to the regular program, we would be granted twenty-five minutes of reunion with Wallace Reid's shadow self. I don't see why this could not be done. I find this department the best thing in the magazine. It surely is different from two years ago. It has become a place where one may gain helpful, constructive ideas, instead of those horrible brickbats that used to be published a while back. I always, enjoy reading Trix MacKenzie's letters and only wish she would write to the department oftener. Martin Boyer. 80 Hemlock Street, St. Thomas, Ontario, Canada. Thoughts in Rhyme. Dear Editor : Have you the space To grant me just a little place? First — off must come my hat, complete To throw right down at Gloria's feet. There was a time not long ago When I seldom saw a picture show If Gloria was shown that day, For she was just a clothes display. But something strange has come about. She's human now, without a doubt. She struts no more, but acts — 'tis true, I loved her in "Manhandled," too. Charles Ray we need, in rustic garb, But I can spare the stunning "Barb." Too much she loves to pose, I fear, Just gorgeous gowns and gems to wear. Mae M. should wear a thing or two, And throw away her paint pot — phew! Dear Dick Barthelmess ! There's a boy Who gives his fans their fill of joy! Of Alary, dear, and Lillian Gish We never get enough. I wish Ben Lyon need no older grow, A jolly youngster, he, to know, Chock full of charm and simply great ! Marmont is dear, his work first-rate. But Dorothy Mackaill — oh, well ! She may improve — it's hard to tell. J. M. Laird. Montgomery, Ala. Continued on page 114
