PIERRE VALLIGNY 34 West 58th Street Dept. 124 New York Sport Story MAGAZINE TWICE-A-MONTH Issued on the 8th and 22nd of each month 15c PER COPY What the Fans Think Continued from page 112 married women, so it is but natural for the public not to expect her to play flapper parts several years later. If she expects to continue to hold her own in filmdom, she must look to her stories— and also her wardrobe. Some of her clothes in "The Untamed Lady" were impossible, particularly the dress she wore in the hospital scene, which was most unbecoming— so much so that even the men in the theater made remarks about it looking like a "washerwoman's outfit." There is a rumor to the effect that Famous Players are grooming Florence Yidor to take Gloria's place, when her contract expires. Well, as far as clothes, good looks, and figure are concerned, Miss Yidor far outshines Gloria. Gloria is a good actress and a clever person, and should be able to continue to hold her popularity over a period of years, but she needs good stories. If she signs with United Artists, no doubt she will get them, but I do hope she uses better judgment in her selection of clothes as well as of leading men. Grace O'Donnell. 2242 W. 98th Street, Cleveland, Ohio. Ten Wishes. I have been pianist in the local movie theater for three years, and of course I have my favorite stars. I consider Helene Chadwick the greatest actress on the screen. I admit that she has had some poor pictures, but her Betty Jo, in "The Re-Creation of Brian Kent," Joan Randle in "The Border Legion," Molly Shannon in "The Golden Cocoon," and a few other roles were proof of her versatility and charming screen personality. But the various moving-picture magazines never seem to give her credit. Her trouble with Goldwyn was unfortunate, and when she gets the recognition she deserves for her sympathetic portrayals, then I'll be happy. Richard Dix and Edmund Burns are my favorite male stars. They both have a sense of humor, and their work has improved with each new role. This Burns will bear watching, for he will soon be one of the most popular stars, I think. If I had ten wishes, here's what they would be : 1. That we might see more of Helene Chadwick. 2. That Gloria Swanson would cut out the comedies. • 3. That Norma Talmadge and Ronald Colman would costar. 4. That Dorothy Gish find a suitable role. 5. That the Colleen Moore craze would subside. 6. That Pauline Garon be made a star. 7. That Enid Bennett would come back. 8. That we see Virginia Lee Corbin oftener. 9. That Valentino would make another picture similar to "Monsieur Beaucaire." 10. That Madge Bellamy would be directed by Lubitsch. Frankie. 15 Farmington Avenue, Plainville, Conn. Look Out, Interviewers! If I read another article saying how humble John Gilbert is — how unassuming — how success will never go to his head —as if he were a youngster instead of a regular old stager — I think I shall go crazy ! I'm so sick of having John Gilbert crammed down my throat that I am not going to see any of his pictures, and many of my friends, who are also very keen on the movies, feel the same as I do. Elizabeth Dawson. The Rectory, Corby, W. Keltering, Northant, England. Marriage vs. Career. I never heard of any one more selfish than Warner Baxter. Imagine his just calmly letting his wife give up her very promising career just to stay at home and make things a little more pleasant for him! It's always the woman who has to make the sacrifice. And it seems to me that this one was so unnecessary. Just because Warner Baxter got annoyed because hi> wife wasn't always at home just when he wanted her to be there, and just because he couldn't be more considerate of her when she was just as tired as he was, she, to keep peace, had to sacrifice her entire career, so that she could run around after him and wait on him and cater to his whims. It's very plain to me, from that article about them in the June Picture-Play, that he was really the one at fault, though she tries to make it out that she was just as much responsible as he for the situation that arose. He comes right out and says that he never wanted her to go into pictures anyway, and that he's the type of man that likes to be the sole breadwinner in a family. In other words, he likes to be the master. Well, when a man brazenly admits that kind of an attitude, it's easy to see that he has probably been the cause of all the trouble. He was opposed from the outset to his wife's having a career, and so, I presume, he probably made use of every opportunity to point out its disadvantages to her until, finally, because she cared enough for him, she gave it up, but it's quite evident that she didn't want to one bit. I must say, I hope I never marry a man like that, and he certainly doesn't deserve to have such an unselfish wife as Winifred Bryson must be. Sarah Leonora Winfield. Germantown, Pa. A Note from the Argentine. For a number of years we have been ardent readers of Picture-Play, and find much interest in the correspondence page, where all fans are allowed to give their views. So far we have seen no letters from the Argentine, so we hope you will give us an inning. Our interest has increased considerably with the growing popularity of Latin stars, whose films are intensely popular in Buenos Aires, particularly those of Rudolph Valentino; who is idolized ! We cannot understand the harsh criticism that some persons extend to poor Rudolph. It seems increditably unfair and unwarranted. Valentino is one of the few actors with a decided style of his own, and several other actors who now are favorites with the fans have deliberately copied his original mannerisms. Recently we saw in a magazine a photograph of a delightful-looking Argentine, one Manuel Acosta, who is described as the Argentine president's grandson. How can this be, when President Alvear has neither son nor daughter? We hope, nevertheless, to see some of Manuel's films, as it will surely mean a holiday !

Fans, do you know that every year in England, about July, we have a "Cinema Garden Party?" It is held in the Botanic Gardens at London. All of the English stage and cinema stars attend, and if any American ones happen to be in England at the time, they are also present. I had heard
