It might be compared to the acquisition of money. Both are wonderful in their anticipation and disappointing an their attainment. If you were to have all the money your heart desires at this very moment you would, in a very short time, he the most unhappy person in the world. Accomplishment is the worst thing that can happen to a person — or to love. There is only one thing that can never be accomplished to the utmost . . . and that thing is Friendship.
Inasmuch as I have used the term friendship a great deal in this discussion of love I think I should give my definition of just what the word means to me. Friendship as I see it means: Tenderness, companionship and understanding. If that happens to be your definition of love then we are talking of the same thing. But that has not been my experience with love. Then men who have said "I love you" to me, have never meant tenderness, companionship and understanding!
AND I might add. while Dorothy is on the subject, that I can well understand how men could make that mistake. Passion and sex-appeal are her outstanding attractions. Companionship and understanding? Yes, I can vouch that she would call out those instincts in men also. Dorothy Mackaill has as many friends as anyone in Hollywood . . . perhaps more, and I have no doubt that each one of those same friends has a tender spot in his heart for Dorothy. But as she says, if any one of her friends should fall in love with her he would immediately exchange tenderness for passion and jealousy. I knew that her expose on love would at least be unique and differ, nt and that is my reason for saving her story for the very last of this series. I have no way of knowing what your reaction to Aliss Mackaill' s answer may be, but I, for one, am frank to admit that her distinct departure from the ordinary has set me thinking. It is obvious she is not talking to create typical fan interest. But I am sure the underlying note of absolute sincerity and logic in her words will affect you the same as it did me. Dorothy Mackaill is honest with herself — of that we may be sure. And from my real-life acquaintance
with her, I might tell you
Here is Dorothy telling her secrets to Polly, who seems to take them seriously. Perhaps she's telling her pet about life, or maybe it's just "Polly wants a crackWho knows?
that she is 'also a very real very human and thoroughly delightful human being. {Continued on page 92^
Her first marriage was unsuccessful, but if there's a next one things will be different, according to Dorothy, for she'll choose a good friend instead of a romantic lover.
