Motion pictures, naturally, were not then as popular, as universal in appeal as they are now. My friends would have done anything, just anything, to prevent it. For it is such a hard life. I have autographed as many as a hundred checks a day, of my own. And speaking of autographs, there is one subject upon which I must speak my mind. I feel very strongly about this, and I want the world, that is to say my fans, to know that every picture which leaves my studios is autographed personally, by me. It is a sacred duty. Often, after a hard day's work, I will battle with myself. I will say, "Sylvester, you have given greatly of yourself this day. Can you give more ?" And always the answer is, yes. Thus have we often remained at the studios, my little secretary and I working away; but I feel that it has not been in vain. My mother and father still reside in the old home. I have seen to it that there is a new pump in the yard, and last Christmas I sent my mother a washing machine. In closing, permit me to quote from "Sylvester Simplex, His Life Story, published by the S. S. Publishing Corp., profusely illustrated with hitherto unpublished portraits, each copy inscribed by Mr. Simplex." "Is it any wonder, then, the world loves this man? That the goodness and the truth and the honesty which shine from within should be mirrored on the screen Virile Words from Dick O'Dare ick O'Dare, well-known western star, has this to say: Enough has been printed about me to convince folks that I'm a straightthinkin', clean-livin' cuss. I play fair all the time, always have; I don't know no other way. I'll climb to the top of the highest mountain in God's country and tell the world all I have to say. I have worked hard : but, pardners, all that I am, all that I do, all that I have, I owe — to that little woman, my wife. It was my wife, when everything looked black and there didn't seem to be no place in pictures for a man who could ride and shoot straight, told me to keep at it ; that folks would get so tired of seeing pretty faces on the screen that they'd turn to mine for relief sooner or later. It was my wife who first got the idea of havin' closeups of me talkin' to my horse. I always did just what she told me to do. The blow was all the harder when it fell, for I thought the world and all of the little woman. But when I was all set on this career of mine, I got all dolled up one day in a John Emerson AnitalLoos '—PHOTOPLAY From John Emerson and Anita Loos, two of the world's most famous, most successful, highest paid screen writers.
