SCREENLAND 97 C[ Ursla Fisher, who is playing in "The Joy Girl". lightful face. You've read of these smiles that are like sunbeams breaking through the clouds? Fd never believed in them, either; but Norma's is a smile like that. Fd like to be able to see it every rainy day — as I did when she was in New York last and invited me to lunch with her. Oh, but it was a day — just one of those days, with traffic piled up to the accompaniment of slush and sleet and swear words. I was late and sat waiting for her for half an hour. Fd about given her up when in she came into the hotel lobby — and she brought California sunshine with her. She'd been delayed by the traffic, too; and she'd been posing at the photographer's all morning; but when she smiled — everything was all right. She wasn't tired or ruffled; she hadn't lost her sense of humor. She smiled. And I think — I don't know, mind you — that she's one of these rare creatures who's in a good humor even before breakfast, and whose serenity of soul spares her all the trouble of worrying over such trifles as weather and flat tires. With a smile like hers, who could worry? Did you ever see a kitten smile? They do, too! Ask Carl van Vechten. Ask anybody who's ever played with a fat, contented, jovial little kitten. I can tell you that kittens smile, when they're happy; and a kitten's smile is the most roguish thing in the world. It's an arch, over-the-shoulder smile; it invites you to join in the fun, to drop your cares and come along and smile too. I don't know how Renee Adoree will like it, but I just have to make a catty comparison. I don't know whose smile Fd rather watch, Renee's or the kitten's. They're both so friendly, so confiding; they're infinitely coquettish and wholly charming. In the same category is Phyllis Haver's smile. Don't you love it? Betty Bronson is still remembered as the Peter Pan Girl. But did you know that Mai St. Clair calls her "the most sophisticated girl in pictures"? Since Mai started it, I'll continue, and confess that I find Betty's smile a mocking one.
