Vampire Parts Are
Craved by Women in
Quest of Movie Job

.""Ah-h-h, ha-a-al And the villain
still pursued herr
This time-honored line, that has
been used in melodramas since the
day when the drama first became mel
low. is in grave danger Of revision.
1t has been declared on the best OF
authority that the one who created the
line and the legion OF those who have
made use of it did not know human
nature as it is known today. In their
times science had not revealed the true
instincts of man and woman and it
! was supposed that man always was
the pursuer and the woman the pur-
sued. But the motion pictures have
opened up the soul of woman and re-
vealed therein emotions and instincts
that must have been hidden carefully
from time immemorial. At least, that
is what Alan Crosland, casting d.
rector for Thomas A. Edison, Inc,
Motion Pictures, asserts.
"I've got to change my whole con-
ception regarding the natures Of man
and woman" said Mr.. Grassland re-
Gently. Before / came into the pic
lures truly believed that the ma
jority Of men were villains at heart,
who only succeeded In concealing
their true natures by being hypocrites.
And, at that time, believed that all
women were good and true and that
all of them had noble aspirations and
high ambitions. Alas, alasl l have
found that the majority of women,
deep in their souls, have the desire
to be wicked and cruel. For prac-
Stically every girl who comes into our
studio in search Of position seems
to be obsessed with the. idea that she
would make a tremendous hit il
featured as a vampire or an ad-
ventures. More than once / have
been startled half out of my senses by
hearing some misguided maiden, with
a face like a Kentucky turnip, claim
that she would startle the world by
her portrayal Of a Lucrezia Borgia
or Charlotte Corday.
And, as my suspicion of woman
has increased, man has risen higher
in my regard. The average man, &C
cording to my experience, has no aspi-
ration to play the role Of low
browed yeggman or horse thief or
some part corresponding to those
which the majority Of girls desire to
portray. Male villains do not seem to
relish their parts and l never saw an
Nactor, capable of playing a leading
role, doing his best to break into the
villain class"

Talks With Screen-Shuck Girls

or the city block at home; or she may
find the same degree and quality Of
good. 1t rests with the girl rather
than the profession.
A girl can most assuredly be just
as honorable in pictures as else
where. Some Of the sweetest and
best girls / have ever known are
motion picture actresses.
Why then the bad name that so
many people give the profession? In
the first place people are always look
ing for the bad, and especially look
ing for 1t In the high places. They
would much rather find it than the
good. The newspaper editor, who
must necessarily be keen Judge of
human nature and human likes and
dislikes, knows this. That is why
so many headlines concern them
selves with crime and divorces and
scandal.
Now in looking for the bad, the
people naturally turn their eyes in
the direction where the spotlight of
publicity strikes most brilliantly.
Scandal about humble factory girl
has small relish, but if it be about
a woman Of fame and achievement
it is very, very sweet indeed.
No one is placed more prominently
before the public gaze than the mo-
ton picture actress. Little notice is
given her virtues. That side is un-
interesting. But If she takes the
smallest step amiss, a great shout
goes up at once. Her misdeed is
magnified and extended until it Is
made to overcast the entire profess
sion.
