130 Picture Show Annual THE BEAUTIFUL LITTLE RICH GIRL BEAUTY and riches ! What more could any girl desire > Many would be satisfied with even one of these, but not so Dolores de! Rio. She wished for fame as well. And through the screen she has attained it. Dolores del Rio is the daughter of Don Juan Astunsolo, a wealthy Mexican, and for many years occupied a prominent place in Mexican society. She was educated in Paris and has taken dancing lessons from Europe's most famous masters. Often had she turned longing eyes towards picture work, and when, while travelling in Mexico,. Edwin Carewe saw her and offered her screen work, she jumped at the chance. But Dolores was married—to Don Jaime del Rio of the Mexican Diplomatic Corps, and she had to obtain his permission, but a doting husband was persuaded, and before very long he had the pleasure of seeing his wife in " Joanna. ' After " Joanna " came the second lead in " High Steppers.^ Then followed " The Whole Town's Talking,'* " Pals First," " What Price Glory," " Resurrection," and " Carmen." Beautiful, rich—and famous, so do you wonder that she is happy, too ? cA GAME LOSER CHARLES Ray —there was a time when this name was always included in the first dozen names of leading screen stars, when the owner of the name was rich and successful. Success made Charles Ray ambitious. He wanted to produce as well as act, and so he spent a heap of cash in buying a studio, outside which he hung the sign " Charles Ray Studio." But Charles unfortunately did not make such a success of producing as of acting. Charles produced a few good pictures, but he produced a great many more poor ones. When one proved a failure he gambled with the next with desperate persistence. But all to no avail. His money all went, his beautiful home was sold, and only when forced to by sheer necessity did he give in. But Charles Ray was a game loser. He shut his studio, lived meagrely for months and worked on and on until he had paid off his debts, and regained his position in the film firmament. He admits now that it was a bitter experience, but that it was all really worth while. His boyish idealism cost him a fortune, but he is a finer artist for the experience.
