<o~~7The BEST LOVERS of the Screen as Peggy Joyce sees them By Helen \.aurier "It isn't the kiss itself that counts," says Peggy Hopkins Joyce. "It's really all in the getting up to the kiss. Technique is ivhat I believe in." are the best lovers on the screen? I put the question to Peggy Hopkins Joyce, professed connoisseur of the art of lovemaking, and was surprised to discover that — She found nothing thrilling in Rodolph Valentino as a Romeo. But she did award the honors for celluloid lovemaking to William Haines, the juvenile lover in Three Wise Fools. Since Mr. Haines is essentially unknown, he should step forward to make a bow. She awards second honors to Ralph Graves, now playing opposite Marion Davies. Only Gloria Knows How to Kiss j> for the women, says Peggy Hopkins Joyce, Gloria Swanson is the only one who knows how to kiss — and how to demonstrate on celluloid that she does. Here's how she explains it. It actually isn't the kiss itself that counts. "It's really all in getting up to the kiss," Peggy explains. "Technique is what I believe in. The way a lover looks at you and works into it — that's what is important. And the way he uses his arms. . . . The Most Marvelous Kiss JL. he most marvelous kiss I've ever seen, the most wonderful kiss I ever hope to see, is the one given by Bill Haines in Three Wise Fools. He puts Rudie in the amateur try-outs. That kid just grabbed the girl and kissed her . . . kissed her as any young flapper longs to be kissed. Yes, even as I would like to be kissed. "I was only in the audience, but I felt that kiss — felt it all through me. It was the kiss I've wanted all my life ! Oh, dear! And that little ingenue got it.
