MO Picture Show Annual imported for talkies, whose training was essentially for the voice, they are speaking up well enough to maintain their position. Most of the actors, in those days, were much older than the childish heroines, and had had some stage training, even though it may have been extremely brief. Although they are varied in type, there is one thing in common that all these stars have—one thing that has contributed more to their long-standing success than most realise. They are natural. They specialise in human, likeable, unstrained roles. Norma Talmadge, Thomas Meighan, Mary Pickford, Stewart Rome, Chrissie White and Henry Edwards, Jack Holt—not one of them is exotic or artificial on the screen.
