Screenland (Oct 1923-Mar 1924)

said never again, just as many a woman has said it. But she was young, she was beautiful and she was popular. She met Herbert Somborn, said to be a millionaire producer and she married him. Their married life was brief. Gloria claimed she had all the butcher and the baker bills to pay and Somborn claimed bis wife would not stay home, that it was not a case of loving of her home less but of loving her art more. Gloria was free again. But this time with a girl baby, Gloria the Second, with her mother's eyes, and something of the wistful smile of the old Gloria of Essarjay days used to have. Two Domestic Tragedies TThese two domestic tragedies have left the little girl of Essanay days sad. They have robbed her of her faith, and of her belief that there were still men who rode on white horses and came to claim their ladies fair. She doesn't believe in knights and brave men any more. She doesn't believe in her public very much because she has been misjudged so many times. She fears newspapers because so many of her actions have been distorted. She has learned to look at the world with a suspicious and wary eye. But Gloria has learned to act. From aU this sadness and bitterness and loss of faith has risen an actress. Her Zaza might have been the fulfillment of everything she hoped in those Essanay days. It is doubtful if her achieved ambition would have been as eagerly sought after if she had known the heart aches that were to accompany her success. But life is that way — we have to take it as we find it, which may sound like a platitude but is nevertheless true. Beery, Too, Finds Success WALLACE Beery, too, has found his success. Instead of the comedian he thought himself, he has become one of the screen's best and most sought after character actors. Probably Wallie had ideals too, although no one ever accused him of anything like that. Perhaps, if Gloria and Wallie had not been so young at the time they went their separate paths, they might have made allowances for each others shortcomings and have avoided the breach which sent them in opposite directions but toward the same goal. Perhaps Wallie would have been more patient with Gloria's ambition and Gloria would not have found Wallie's rough and ready ways so distressing to her sensibilities. Youth is always intolerant and these two were no different than many other young folk placed in the same position. Of 'course, both Gloria and Wallie feel their course was the only one open to them and most of their friends feel the same way but sometimes, when I think of the little girl in the tam o' shanter and tailored suit and the reckless Wallie, I wonder, if they had continued together, what would have happened. Certainly so far as worldly success is concerned they could not have bettered their lot. Heartaches have brought fame to Gloria and individual effort has not lost Wallie anything in the way of screen value. Today the little extra girl, who wore the tailored suits and saucy tam o' shanters, is one of the highest paid stars in the film firmament. She is a sure bet for the exhibitors and one of the players Famous Players-Lasky knows earns every cent of her salary. Gloria has everything that she dreamed of having in the old days, she has fame, she has beauty, she has jewels, servants, cars, furs and a beautiful child and a growing success. A, Through With Love JUL the luxuries and sumptuous comforts that she adores are hers for the asking. The eager girl has become a gorgeous woman, charming with all the touches that an ambitious acquaintance with a big world could give her. There is nothing left to be desired unless it is love and Gloria is frank in saying she is through with love. Men have not been what she thought them and she will never trust another. With all these worldly things, with all this adoration of a motion picture public who try to copy her gowns, imitate her walk and smile her inscrutable smile, everyone says she must be very happy. Is she happy? I wonder. fit, Further Adventures of the Fascinating Phyllis you are a regular SCREENLAND reader you have already fallen in love with the piquant Phyllis, most charming of all the creations of the famous artist, John Held, Jr. CE.SCREENLAND is the only motion picture publication in which the work of Mr. Held appears.
