1t has frequently been said that
beauty is more necessary to success
on the screen than ability, personality
or anything else. If this be true, how
comes it that Blanche Sweet is more
popular than the vast majority of the
beauties of the silent drama? Miss
Sweet may be able to get good pho
tograph at times mote the accompany
ing pictured. but those who have seen
her great deal o. the screen know
that beauty is not one of her strong
points. She isn't even neat, her best
friends must admit.
But everybody loves her, and the
crowds go where Blanche plays. The
reason is obvious. Miss Sweet is
finished actress, and, more important
still. she has personality. Very few
actresses indeed have a more Win
ming personality than has Miss Sweet.
She has been on the screen as long
as Mary Pickford and used to appear
in the same pictures with Miss Pick
ford when the two were with Biograph
a few years back.
