Picture Show Annual 103 The INCARNATION OF YOUTH /^•onhaD Nagel played " Youth *' in " Ex- ■w perience," a part that was undoubtedly suited to him, for he is the very incarnation of youth in real life. He seems indeed to look younger in each of his successive roles. Strange when one discovers that he is a very deep- thinking man—a man who realises his responsi- bilities toward the world. For Conrad Nagel is a keen student of religion, and it is this trait in him that makes him very particular about every part he portrays. He will rot take a part that he does not think has any- thing worth while in it, and refuses any role that has ideas or actions he considers wrong, so you can always be sure of seeing a wholesome, happy picture when Conrad's name is attached to it. " It's so much more worth while," he says, " to give pleasant things to the world than unpleasant ones." Perhaps it is to this clear, bright outlook that Conrad can attribute his eternal youth; perhaps it is to his almost yellow hair. But, whichever way it goes, Conrad is the ircamation of youth, and he manages to convey his happy outlook on life to his screen audience.

Her greatest fame, of course, came in " The Covered Wagon, and after this picture she worked for two years in nine films without a single day's holiday. Conrad Nagel
