Silver Screen (Nov 1931-Oct 1932)

Silver Screen for February 1932 73 lack of temperament. She doesn't fuss about Her Art. Her theory is that any role can stand out if it's played to the hilt. When I think of Bessie Love I almost want to cry! Here is a splendid little actress who can stand before the cameras and put over everything from Little Eva to the hey-heyest part. "The Broadway Melody" proved her talkie excellence. She has a wistful smile that makes you want to go knock out a couple of giants. I talked to her the other day and she looks prettier than ever. She did a stage play, a vaudeville tour, and a quickie this last Fall. The gamest girl in the whole business, beloved Bessie Love! As for Alice White I'm willing to agree that she needs another chance. Many of us never cared a whoop about her jazz epics. But there is no doubt but what she built up a real following. She, too, made a very successful vaudeville tour this last Fall. Since she tumbled off her pedestal as a First National star she has done only a few quickies. If she ever gets back into the running she assures us that she will discard her flapperisms and show us some first-class acting. Aileen Pringle made her screen debut too soon. She was the first true sophisticate in Hollywood. Little good it did her in the era of innocents. She should be in demand, for she is one of these women of the world whom we idolize. But her infrequent appearances are in quickies, usually murder mysteries. Oh, Hollywood, it is to laugh! Yet I doubt if Aileen herself sees anything funny in the irony of her fate. The heretofore despised quickies are to be thanked for bringing back Clara Kimball Young to us. For giving Betty Bronson and Carmel Myers hope that they may reach the heights again, and for giving Rita La Roy and Frances Dade a chance to carry on the work they love. Those two distinguished character actresses. Beryl Mercer and Mary Carr, ought to be kept so busy in first class pictures that they would not have to play in these obscure talkies. Next time you are blue, giving yourself a lot of condolences, think of these gallant girls who never say die. Let's give them a cheer for keeping their fingers in the movie pie, and hope that they will soon pull out some grand plums!
