Continued from page 26 to be based on her work, "The Man and the Moment," but it was done in England, and was not exactly an immortal effort. Pola Negri and Ernst Lubitsch were also busy abroad, working jointly on "Gypsy Blood" which, when it was brought here, helped to make Americans conscious for the first time of Continental rivalry in the production of movies. What a different horizon a few years can build ! When we see how scattered present talent was, we wonder how Hollywood managed at all. The favorites of 1928 were all over the globe, doing all sorts of things. Gary Cooper was a cow-puncher, riding the lonely wastes of a Montana ranch. Margaret Mann was a housewife in Seattle. Gilbert Roland was a thirteen-year-old urchin in the streets of Chihuahua, Mexico. Ford Sterling was half of the vaudeville team of McEvoy and Sterling. Jacqueline Logan was a reporter in Denver. Norma Shearer posed for kodak advertisements. Josef von Sternberg was a senior at the University of Vienna. Victor Seastrom was an ac tor in Stockholm. Mary Philbin was a music student in Chicago. Few scientific treatises bother to point a moral. This one, however, on the stars of 1938, does. Ten years will see the passing of all those now at the top. If they're good boys and girls they'll save their money, so they can retire to a nice ranch somewhere. If they're foolish and don't count their Rolls-Royces now, they'll be riding a street car en route to play a small-time vaudeville date. And meanwhile, a new generation will be in Hollywood, signing big contracts and buying pale-blue, foreign limousines on the installment plan. Right now that new generation is scattered far and wide. If it's true that history repeats itself, some of 1938's stars are in school, some in offices, others on farms. Or should it be that talking pictures will change it all, to-morrow's John Gilbert is calling out trains in a railroad station, and his screen love, to-morrow's Greta Garbo, is screaming her customers' orders for ham and eggs loud enough for the chef to hear. Over the Teacups Continued from page 31 L _J Agua Caliente for the week-end by airplane. Imagine a person on crutches getting into an airplane ! "Anna has never been at a loss for company all the while she has been laid up. The Warner Baxters, the Neil Hamiltons, the Allan Dwans, and simply loads of other people live around her and drop in all the time. She looks amazingly well, considering all she has been through, but it may be some time before she can work again. "Oh, dear, I swore that curiosity wouldn't attract me to another talking picture until the process is perfected, but come to think of it, ifAnna ever confides that delightful Swedish accent of hers to a microphone, I'll be the first to rush to hear it. "Don't be surprised if you hear of Ruth Roland coming back to pictures, now that voices count. All the voice culture she has been indulging in for years isn't going to be wasted. "Oh, by the way, Ruth and Ben Bard won the dance cup at Montmartre the night Ruth Elder was guest of honor and judge. A nice tribute from the newcomer to the old-timer." "Have you met Ruth Elder?" I gasped. I do get enthusiastic and curious once in a while. "Oh, yes," Fanny admitted, striving hard to sound casual. "I called on her the other afternoon. She is living just a block from me. I don't want to appear to gloat over trifles, but I am jealous of any one who can pilot a plane. I might just as well tell you. She is one of the worst automobile drivers I have ever seen. Every motorist on our street scurries for cover when they see her coming out of the garage." "But what is she like?" I demanded. "Indescribable," Fanny admitted. She looks like a coarser, mpre brunet version of Corinne Griffith. Sort of road company No. 3. She has a lot of charm, and a husky voice with an Alabama drawl. "She wants to stay in pictures as a real trouper, not as an aviatrix who is being exploited. But aviation is really her first interest. You would like her." I am sure I would, but unless Fanny becomes generous and introduces me, I shall have to admire her from afar, like the rest of the public, when she makes her debut on the screen.
