Screenland (Sept 1922–Feb 1923)

\ 57 radiant bride at twentyat twenty-five— what? Is the Husband or Wife to Blame? Is the husband or wife to blame for the tragedy of too many children ? Margaret Sanger, the great birth control advocate, comes with a message vital to every married man and woman. HOUSANDS upon thousands of women today marry with the bloom of youth upon their cheeks. A few years of married life rub the bloom off. Children come, too many And instead of the energetic, healthy girl we have a tired and bedraggled young:old woman. Why do women allow marriage, the holy thing, to work this wicked transformation? , , . MARGARET SANGER, the acknowledged world leader of the Birth Control movement and President ot the American Birth Control League, has the answer for this most momentuous problem of womankind. Every married woman knows only too well the tragedies resulting from ignorance of birth control. Why should a woman sacrifice her love-life — a possession she otherwise uses every resource to keep? Why does she give birth to a rapid succession of children, if she has neither the means to provide for them nor the physical strength properly to care for them? In her daring and startling book Margaret Sanger gives to the women of the world the knowledge she dared to print — the knowledge for which she faced jail and fought through every court to establish as woman's inalienable right to know. "In Woman and the New Race" she shows how woman can and will rise above the forces that, in too many cases, have ruined her beauty through the ages — that still drag her down today — that wreck her mental and physical strength — that disqualify her for society, for self-improvement — that Partial List of Con ten ts •Woman's Error and Her Debt.

In blazing this revolutionary trail to the new freedom of women, this daring and heroic author points out that women who cannot afford to have more than one or two children, should not do so. It is a crime to herself, a crime to her children, a crime to society. And now for the first time Mrs. Sanger shows the way out. And she brings to the women of the world the greatest message it has been their good fortune to receive.

WATERMAN PIANO SCHOOL, 2 54 Superba Theatre Bldg., Los Angeles, California, Screen fans who have admired Mary Miles Minter will regret to learn that she is to return to the Speaking Stage, which she left when she was a child star in "The Littlest Eebel"; and she hasn't used her voice in public in the meantime. Just as soon as she finishes her last picture for Famous Players-Lasky she'll come back to Broadway. How the Money Rolls In T he movies have been exceedingly kind to the followers who have stuck to the screen and with any kind of a run of good luck the average star can keep from going "over the hill" for many years. Recent years have sent screen salaries to where, with good judgment used in the investment of what the stars have made they have been able to build up some pretty neat fortunes. And don't let the idea get into your head that the average star is not fragile or that they spend all their money in riotous living. True some of the big money makers in the game have squandered a good portion of their earnings on wild parties and a few gone through with the receipts as fast as they came in, but as a whole the screen stars are level-headed business people, they realized their popularity can not last forever, and they are putting their proceeds where it will work for them. Probably the leading financier of the silver sheet is Mary Pickford, whose personal fortune is estimated at $1,500,000 safely invested in bonds of the government besides a considerable amount of money which is naturally used in her current pictures. She and Doug Fairbanks have a $350,000 home and several hundred thousand dollars invested in their studio and its equipment. Mary is not only the queen but also the wealthiest individual in the movies. Charlie Chaplin is no doubt next in line as a movie financier. He has a beautiful new $100,000 home and a studio that is valued at a quarter of a million dollars. He has invested quite a sum in California real estate and the financing of his own production keeps a large amount of his cash at work. Harold Lloyd has been quite successful and has a neat fortune in railroad and Liberty bonds and is a heavy investor in real estate. Norma Talmadge probably has a million dollars invested in stock and bonds and is a half owner in "The Music Box Revue." The Gish girls each draw down about $1,500 a month in interest and have a beautiful home. Mary Miles Minter has spent a quarter of a million for a home $10 for the best answer to "Which Advertisement in This Issue of Screenland Appeals to You Most— and Why?"
