108 Picture Show Annu.il There have been other teams besides Harold 'Lloyd's which have resulted in Cupid lending a hand. To begin at home, there are Henry Edwards and Chrissie White, the pair whose screen work, above all others, was perhaps the most redolent of wholesome British sentiment and atmos- phere. These two, who co-starred for many years in films, later turned their attention to the stage and captivated fresh admirers and bound old ones closer to them by their charm in the flesh, a charm even stronger and more definite than their film figures possessed. Guy Newall and Ivy Duke are another British pair of screen stars who wended their way to the altar after playing in many films together. They also turned to the stage during the same time as Chrissie White and Henry Edwards. Both the latest efforts on the films of these two couples have been made by the masculine half only—Henry Edwards appearing in the title role of "The Flag Lieutenant" and Guy Newall in " The Ghost Train." In America, John Bowers and Marguerite de la Motte, after considering the matter for some time while they worked together in various pictures, decided that they would marry and appropriately enough their first picture together after the ceremony was called " Pals in Paradise." William Boyd swept Elinor Fair off her feet during the making of " The Volga Boatman," and the wedding was performed upon the completion of the production. It is, in fact, reported that William proposed to Elinor and was accepted during one of the love scenes between the Princess and the Boatman. A screen team of a different sort is the Von Stroheim— Dale Fuller type. These two are not co-stars, but Stroheim recognised Dale Fuller's abilities while she responded particularly readily to his acting and directing. There were many famous co-starring teams back in the old days. Francis X. Bushman and Beverly Bayne, whose forte was strong melodrama ; Mr. and Mrs. Sidney Drew, the pioneers of the screen comedy that was not the custard-pie variety; the Carter de Havens and, of course, many comedy couples of the same sex, including Eddie Lyons and Lee Moran, one of the most famous ; Ham and Bud, and so on. But although faded from the screen themselves, their prototype enthrall and amuse, and will continue to do so while is an audience left to clap its hands. W
