Paje E~t Looking at Hollywood with Ed Sullivan Scenes That Live in Memory By ED SUWVAN Hollywood. N OT SO MANY weeks ago, as you. will recall, we conducted a pol11ngeon- test to learn what pictures movie fans would prefer to see again. They named twelve pictures. In order they were: (1) II Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs," (2) ••Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse," (3) II Mutiny on the Bounty," (4) ••A Star Is Born," (5) II The Hunchback of Notre Dame," (6) ••Birth of a Nation," (7) II Smilin' Through," (8) II The Big Parade," (9) ••Life of Emile Zola," (10) ••Captains Courageous," (11) II San Fran. cisco," (12) II The Kid." This expression was Interest- ing, but more interesting to me was the fact that almost every letter contained a fan's recollec- tions of particular scenes he would like to see again. The scenes they mentioned were per- Claudette Colbert in the hitc:h·hike .c:elle of ••It Hczppelled ODe Night." sonal mementoes, dating a pe- riod in their lives as a popular song dates an event for you. In their asides the fans commented that they remembered this scene or that scene because. they saw it the week Brother Joe and his wife had a baby, or the family had bought a new car, or Tom's salary had been raised at the store. I thought to myself, thought I, some day we'll go through that mass of mail and pick out the scenes which the fans ·mentioned. Out of 20,000 letters I'd like to tell you some of the rcrget-me-nots that movie fans sent in to explain why they idolize the stars. Emil J~mnings' return to his home on Christmas eve in II The Way of All Flesh." ... Chico and Diane as Janet Gaynor and Charlie Farrell brought them to life in II Seventh Heaven."... Barbara La Marr and Ramon Novarro in their memorable love scene in "Trifling Women." . . . The fadeout in ••All Quiet on . the Western Front," when Lew Ayres reached for the but- terfly, an agonized contrast of beauty and death.... Jackie Coogan as the tiny high·hatted chhnney sweep in ••The Kid.'; . Valentino's love scene with Nita Naldi in "Blood and Miss Am.erica's (Colltinued from page olle.) softeners will be among the most popular of all Christmas gifts. A great part of the balance of the American woman's 261 mil- lion dollar beauty budget Is devoted to such things as deplla- tories, deodorants, rouges, and gadgets of one kind or another and is spent during the season of jingle bells. Hairbrushes, hand mirrors, makeup boxes, and thousands of other luxuries and necessities will be presented to American beauties all over the land. Gifts of beauty, by which we mean any gift that comes from the cosmetic counters, are now among the m 0 s t important items in the sum total of all Christmas business in this coun- try. Women in America value Another 1901 gift-a drellY fic:hu alld girdle of .oft pink silk trimmed with lac:e. their good looks; they're vain about their good looks. And there is {\ sound psychological basis for the popularity of a beauty gift; its very selection is a subtle tribute to the femi· ninity and beauty of the woman who receives it. eee Millions will be spent this Christmas on such tributes. Be- cause the beauty business is here as nowhere else in the world a volume business, the individual beauty gift can cost much or little. In America fashion and beauty are com- pletely democratic. The shop- girl earning $15 a week may use exactly the same imported per- fume treasured by the richest girl in the land. The shopglrl buys hers a dram at a time and uses it sparingly, but It is her Sand." ... John Barrymore In ••The Sea Beast," wincing as the severed stump of his leg Is cauterized by a red-hot branding iron.. . Marie Dressler's mimicry of the drunk in "Anna Christie." Gangster George Bancroft, in ••Underworld," solicitously feed· ing a kitten.... The spine- tingling scene in "Phantom of the Opera" when Lon Chaney, at the organ, removes his mask and the hideous face fills the scene.... Karl Dane's pop. ping the German sniper out of the tree in ••The Big Parade." . Freddie Bartholomew's plea, "Pray, don't beat me, Mr. Murdstone," in ••David Copper- field." Fred Astaire's machine gun tap dance in ••Top Hat." . . . Edward G. Rcbln- son kicking Margaret Llvtng- ston in the rear end in II Smart Money.". . The unrorget- table chariot race In ••Ben Hur," with Roman Novarro lashing his thoroughbreds.... Charlie Chaplin, in "City Lights," swal- lOWinga whistle and then giving of! strange noises until it was removed.... Lilian Gish in ••Broken Blossoms.". . . Doug Fairbanks Sr. pricking a "Z" on his dueling victims in ••The Mark of Zorro." •• The touching scene in " Caval· eade " when the you.!g lovers move from the rail of the ship and you see just for an instant the "Titanic" lettered on the lifebuoy....

Miss Vere de Vere uses tuberose bath' salts, Im- ported from France. Miss Shop- girl uses bath salts, too. They cost a lot less, and the scent is not so lasting, but it's the best imitation of a flne version of tuberose that science and vol- ume business can achieve. One or two million dollars will be spent this Christmas on corn- pacts alone. A square of gold, studded with rubies and dla- monds or rubies and sapphires, will sell very well indeed at a Chicago jewelry shop for $500. But hundreds of thousands more costing less than $5 will be sold in drug, beauty, and de- partment stores all over the country. Cases fitted with creams and lotions will sell, too. There will be purchasers for a lether case, fitted with cloisonne-topped jars and bottles, priced at $375. There will be far more purchas- ers for fabricoid kits containing creams, lotions, and makeup ac- cessories, priced at $5. Less than thirty years ago a woman's beauty equipment was soap and a pure white powder with which she surreptitiously vanquished the shine on her nose. Today there is no surrep- . titiousness about her pursuit of beauty. She wants to be lovely; she IS lovely. Big business- and Santa Claus-are only too happy to cater to her whims. ·Two Stars Color photo. 01 the. e per.on. appear on p4lle one 01 the Picture Section. AUCE Wal bom in New FAYE YorkCity.

I wanted every one to know that I had turned traitor because I could no longer endure the ha- tred and suspicion of my own people. While I was in Russia I had time to build a new eabl- net.

Dear Miss Tin~: I have a few questions I would like to bother you with, because It's been quite a strain on my mind for quite some time. Up to the time I saw the picture ••Frankenstein" I was told that Colin Clive, the star of the picture, had died. Could you please tell me it thfa that you have reati the column all these years and disagree with me sometimes. OtheT1.Viseyou woudn't have been human. Is true? When I saw Mr. Clive in" Frank. enstein" I grew to be very fond of him, but I hear so little about him. Miss Tin~e, would you possibly dig up some information on Colin Clive? What are some of his best pictures? Thanks a mUlion and lots of love to you and your column. DARLENE HARDY. Editor's note: Mr. Olive died June !5, 19~7, in Hollywood. A fine actor! Amottg his best pictures were "Journey's End," " Ohristopher Btrong," "Jane Eyre," (( The Bride of Frankenstein," "The Man Who Broke the Bank at Monte Oarlo," " History Is Made at Night!' You and your love are welcome to the corner. Dear Miss Tin~e: If you wanted to write to Deanna Durbin and Robert Tay· lor how would you direct your letter? Would you please print a small picture of Robert Taylor and tell me a little about him? Thank you. L. ERDMANN. Editor's note: Well, if 1 wanted to w r i t e 'em, here's how I'd di- rect the letters: Deanna Durbin, car e Universal Studio , Universal Oity, oa., Rob- ert Taylor, care Metro Goldwyn. Mayer Btudio, OUZver Oity, Oal. Glad to oblige. Robert Taylor WM born in Filley, Neb., Aug. 5, 1911. He's 6 feet tall, weigh's 165 pounds, and has brown hair and blue eyes. Attended Pomona college. His real name is B. Arlington Brough. Dear Miss Tin~: I recently saw the film" Keep SmU1ng,~'starring Jane With· era, I enjoyed It very much, as I usually do Jane's pictures. In the cast wIth her was an unusually attractive little girl playing the part of Bettina. Her name was not on the cast shown at the theater. Please tell me her name. I have read your column for more than twenty years, and most of the time I agree with your criticisms. Very sincerely yours, MRS. EDWARD O·BRIEN. Ed(lor's note: Bettina was played bll Paula Rae Wright. 1 am so happy to ktlou ltOBERT TAYLOlt His mlnut. blollr.phy .pp •••• tod.y. Dear Miss Tln~e: Will you please settle an argument about Richard Greene, the new young' actor who played the lead opposite Sonja Henie in ••My Lucky Star"? Is he still llving? If so, what was the name of the young skating part. ner of Miss Herne's who passed away reo cently? Yours very truly, M. M. M. Editor's note: Richard Greene is not dead. The young skating star who died recently was Jack Dunn_ Mae TIn~e: Just what do you mean by ••an absorbing book "-has It got sponges? -,Pulsing with intelligence?" What p11lle! "Picture devotes most of Its footage "- what is footage, and how can a picture have footage-whatever footage is? ••This quiet, assured girl" - a schoolgirl can write better, ••Handsome, tempestuous, unstable Frank "-pure affectation.

Say, old topper, you're just trying to be AFFECTED. No one knows what you're talking about, and we don't believe that you know yourself. PROFESSOR. Editor's note: WOW! Am 1 in YOUR hair! Sir Guy Standing, in ••Annap lis Farewell," rowing out to his old ship and in his delirium call ing orders to a ghostly ere that existed only in his memory. . . . Walter Huston, as Abra ham. Lincoln, prostrating him self on the rain-dtenched grav of his fiancee, one of the mos poignant scenes ever filmed. Will Rogers' hilarious imita tion of a crooner in "Doubtin Thomas." . . . The fight tween Bill Farnum and To Santschi in II The Spoilers."... Pearl White and Warner Olan in one of the old movie seria at the nickelodeons.... Mabe Normand in II Mickey." ... Wil liam S. Hart glaring over th blue barrels of his guns in th old western thrillers. I could go on for pages an pages, because the movie fan sent in thousands of these forget me-nota, but these are sutflcien to illustrate the point I'm mak Ing. The movie fan idolizes th star of the fiickers because 0 some particular scene which h has played. It is not a negligi ble interest, this fandom of th moviegoers, but a very real an a very intelligent appreciatio of the performers over a stretc of years. w 1Z ar I shall finish these records. shall wrap them as well as can. I shall wait until I a ordered to destroy my country' ships. Then I shall throw m package overboard. When have done this I shall direct m invisible lightning against th Red ships. I shall destroy eve one of them, because I shall b in a steel turret which I shal lock on the inside. You wil have heard that I asked the Re Circle to deliver me some radiu tubes by Sonya Danilo and Com rade Petrovich. I shall not n these tubes, I have asked fo Sonya and Petrovich so tha they may be aboard one of th ships of the soviet fleet when send my lightning there. Sony is called the Firefiy. It was sh who brewed suspicion abou Maida Travers. It was Petro vich who contrived the kidnap ing of Maida Travers. ••I have only a little left t say. It is this: I have nothin to give my country except m grotesque and hideous body an a mind that has learned to lov liberty. These I freely give, an I am ashamed only for th meanness of my gifts. I a Peter QUill. I am the symbol 0 the human race. I lived in hesi tation and weakness. A beauti ful voice led me out of darkness and ignorance. It was the voic of hope and freedom. I found a world of beauty and the bound less liberty that dwells in wis dom, I was confronted by fea and distrust. I destroyed them. I know the Red Circle. The Red Circle is autocracy. It is mis- ery. It is terror. It is slavery. It is ignorance. I learned the greatest destructive principle of all ages. But it will destroy only one thing. It will destroy igno- rance. You have called it Invis- ible lightning. Well, invisible lightning is human thought. Human thought will destroy ig- norance ... "I bid you . Again I say . . . this is Peter Quill . . . poor . . . twisted misshapen Peter QUill asking . . . asking you . . . to be . .. to be . . . be true to your country." (THE END.)
