Screenland (Apr–Sept 1923)

from Hollywood 99 accepted innumerable social engagements. But she always managed to squeeze in time for interviews and pictures and her appointments were always kept on time, too. Lately her matrimonial troubles seem to be getting on her nerves, however, for she has publicly insulted interviewers and declared that newspaper men and publicity had never done anything for her. Without publicity, the greatest singer in the world would be as little known as Einstein's theory. She Got an Interview N, ot so long ago, we sent a star out on the road to make personal appearances. The star refused to be interviewed by local newspapermen in some of the towns she visited. We called her back to the studio, after learning the outcome of one of these refusals. In a large Ohio city, she was particularly curt in her refusal to talk to a reporter. He determined he wasn't going back without some kind of a story, so he went back-stage and stood behind a piece of scenery, on the lookout for material. He got it. After the star had lisped her little "so glad to know all you folks" and had tripped off-stage, she spied a vaudeville singer she had known in the good old days when both toured the circuits. They made a supper date. Then when the star had gone into her dressing-room to change into street togs, and the vaudevillian began to undress and don his make-up, things back stage became very playful. Somebody squirted a bottle of vichy, and the film star thought it would be fun to moisten her vaudeville friend. She squirted the vichy through the transom of his door, and he produced another bottle and squirted it through her transom, and as nobody was completely dressed, it made a lovely story in the local sheet. The newspaper man called it "My interview with Veda of the Films" and described the scene in vivid detail. My typewriter lost both bolts and screws in my frantic attempt to kill or cover the story. Legal Complications .nother star got us into legal complications. She signed with a perfume manufacturer, allowing him the exclusive use of her picture and signature for three years. That was such easy money that, unbeknown to us, she also signed with a facial pack manufacturer for virtually the same thing. We had a hectic time persuading the judge that the little dear didn't know what she was doing. Still another star will always pose for pictures, but he invariably dislikes Banish Gray Hair Wm. J.
