Sheridan Road, Chicago musician, many an artist and a few actors to the great elemental realm of feeling. Valentino Instinctive But Not Subtle the public thinks Valentino subtle, he isn't. He is only being instinctive. His quality called 'mysterious and fascinating' comes from a strong but almost unconscious comprehension of forces repressed in every one of us. "Valentino is relatively free from inner conflict and remarkably responsive to the impulses in the heart of man. This un SCEEENLANB repressedness and lack of distortion is Valentino's gift and the cause of popular misunderstanding. "To do Valentino justice it is necessary to analyze his whole figure. The modern analyst does not look at bumps on the head or judge character by an eyebrow or any one feature, or even from the whole figure. He uses a hundred different means. As was said in the quotation from Jung's book, he weighs and measures every action, every movement, shape of the hands, style and, even, Sherlock Holmes fashion, manners in shoes. C^4 Battle For Independence of Press — From page 31 Screenland's Fight for Freedom freedom, it understands how Mr. Fairbanks must feel when he tosses his whole fortune into a single picture because he wants to do it for the love of the thing. All of which is a bit beside the point. Screenland Will Carry On creenland is going on, just as fearless as before. Glancing through the pages of this and future issues, you will find that it does obtain the best pictures and the livest news first. You will find that it will tell the truth about people and things, that its criticisms will be honest and unbiased and that it will take more than the antiquated portion of the motion picture industry to quench its spirit of independence and youth. One thing more, you will find that this fight will not bias its columns. Screenland will treat its enemies and its friends alike — honestly and fairly. C[ Why Stars Desert Stardon — From page 28 Making Failure Pay May was one of the ill-fated Realart stars. The next day May was engaged for "West of the Water Tower" by the same company that had failed to put her over as a star. And, like a wise child, she asked and received much more money than she had ever drawn from the regular pay roll. And there is Enid Bennet, once starred by Thomas H. Ince. She, too, was cut off the role of glory. But it hasn't damaged her financial standing. Miss Bennett is sought after as a leading woman. Instead of wondering whether or not her star pictures are going to be a success, all she has to do is to collect her salary and go on to the next studio where a leading woman is needed. Why are they worth more as plain actors than as stars? Why, for instance, does Mayo, no longer starred by Universal, get more than Herbert Rawlinson who is still on the list? The answer is easy. The market is overcrowded with stars and it is short of actors. And it is especially short of leading men. Any young man with an agreeable personality can get over as a star for a short length of time — that is, until the public gets tired of him. But it takes experience, patience, a level head, and a good appearance to be a leading Feminine stars may count upon Mayo, Tearle, Dexter or Walsh not to run away with the picture on them. They have a way of setting off a scene without being unduly conspicuous. They are agreeable about helping the ladies on and off with their wraps. They know their business — the studio business — and if they have an inward craving to get away with a little glory for themselves, they think of the financial returns of being a star as compared with the financial returns of being merely "good support." They squelch that prima donna instinct. By way of comparison, it is interesting to note that Rodolph Valentino, from the standpoint of the star, was the worst leading man in the business. He was a handicap and a detriment. No matter how his scenes were cut, he could be counted upon to run away with the picture. Alice Terry, Agnes Ayres, Dorothy Dalton — even Gloria Swanson couldn't outshine him. No star that has played with him has ever asked for a return engagement. And the moral is that it pays to be inconspicuous and that it is better to be among those present with Goldwyn or Paramount than the owner of the largest star dressing room at Universal City.
