Where have you heard that name before? Oh, yes, she is the wife of Lloyd Hughes and you think you have seen her in pictures. Most of the girls of Our Club have been recommended to take the place of the Mabel Normands, the Pearl Whites, the Norma Talmadges, the Nazimovas, the Mary Pickfords, the Alice Joyces and the Blanche Sweets who have gradually been growing scarcer on the screen. They are being groomed and trained for future stardom. I, All Nice Gals of Nice Families N fact, the baby stars will be an improvement on the older generation. They will have no shadows of poverty, shabbiness and sordidness darkening their pasts. They won't have the horrid experience of working in dingy little studios with roughneck directors and small salaries. They won't have the dispiriting adventure of working their way into public recognition; the press agents have smoothed that path for them. I They are nice girls of good family. They have bungalows, little motor cars, good clothes and they lead the sheltered lives of high school girls. No one can say a word against their morals. Lois Wilson's reputation is considerably higher than Eleanora Duse's. Patsy Ruth Miller may not be as great a comedienne as Mrs. Fiske but she went to a nice private school in St. Louis, whereas St. Louis remembers Mrs. Fiske as the homely daughter of shabby theatrical folks. Unfortunately for the precedent of screen stardom, even the movie stars weren't always socially acceptable. Most of the genuine favorites had humble beginnings. They sharpened their wits on something less sweet than fudge. Patsy Wants To Be Like Nazimova P, atsy Ruth Miller once wanted to be "exactly like Nazimova." In order to realize her ambition, Patsy Ruth might go to Russia and learn how it feels to be a Jewess in an intolerant community. And then she ought to learn how it feels to come to a strange country and play in a slum theater. Colleen Moore has one thing in common with Mabel Normand — she's Irish. But Colleen's family — the Morrisons — are nice people. Mabel's family lives in Staten Island where they are able to enjoy their native customs in peace. Mabel went to work when she was fifteen because the family had grown too large and demanding for father's pay envelope. As for the girls who would be Alice Joyces, Pearl Whites, Norma Talmadges and Blanche Sweets, they may have all the social advantages of Our Club, but unfortunately social advantages do not create actresses. The only social advantage that Pearl White enjoyed was life in a circus. Alice Joyce's early social circle was in the studios where models pose for hats. When Blanche Sweet was a baby star at the Biograph Studio, no one took the trouble to tell the world about it. Blanche didn't even get her name on the screen. Norma Talmadge worked for Yitagraph for twenty-five dollars a week and no publicity. Where Are The Stars of Tomorrow? The future of the screen may lie with the baby stars just as the future of American social life may lie in the ice cream soda. But I doubt. In spite of the assurances of the press agents that these nice young ladies are the emotional actresses of tomorrow, I still believe that there are good bootleg stars now being snubbed, discouraged and unpress-agented in the ranks of the extra girls in Hollywood. I see no reason to believe that a public trained to enjoy Gloria Swanson and Pola Negri is going to get just as worked up over May McAvoy and Lois Wilson. However, if one of the members of Our Club gets mixed up in a divorce suit or gets thrown out of the Ambassador for being too rough, I'll be generous and admit that she has possibilities as an emotional actress.
