Picture Show Annual 55 HE LIKES EVERYTHING There's a thing to say—and about the screen's most devastating villain ! For surely a villain is supposed to have sincere hatred for everybody and everything. But it's all wrong, you know. The gentleman* in question is only a film villain, so naturally he is the reverse off screen. Still, no one believes all the bad things about Lew Cody, although he actually plays all his meanest tricks before our very eyes. He's one of the villains you love. He has deviated from the path of villainy once or twice, and as the hero of the piece managed to win the love of the girl of his heart. But he's the ideal villain of films, for all that, and that's how you like him best. L.ew Cody will tell you, however, that he likes everything and everybody. He has hosts of friends—no one has more in screenland — a passion for French- Canadian poetry, a love for animals, and a strong appreciation of music. Not only is he an accomplished musician, but a composer too. His love for French poetry may be accounted for by the fact that he is of French descent. His real name is Cote, you know. He likes his work—in fact, as he says, he likes everything cMARY'S SUBSTITUTE Rather a big undertaking, you'll think, to take the place of the World's Sweetheart, yet that is how pretty Sally O'Neil came to the screen. Sally had never had the slightest idea of a movie picture career — until Marshall Neilan spotted her one day, and asked her to take the role in a film that had been written specially for Miss Pickford. Mary had disagreed with him over the script, and he had to find a substitute, and it had to be a good one. This part in " Mike," Sally's first film, proved her to be a real success. Since then Sally has never been without a contract. Her best-known films include I'Sally. Irene, and Mary," " Don't," " The Auction Block,' and " The Waning Sex." She is only a wisp of a thing—five feet one and a half inches in height. Sally O'Ntil.
