Stars Are Made, Not Born

"Well, I hope they won't insist on
making q star of him, too," said Sam
ucl Goldfish moodiiy as we watched a
beautiful new leadipg man at work in
the Goldwyn studio.
What do you mean they7" we
asked; don't you make your own
stars?"
"Of course we don't and never did,"
he replied. ut isn't the producer nor
the director nor the newspapers that
make stars. It is the public-the NOV
ing picture fans. They pick their own
stars. They select the authors, they
determine the style and line Of each
particular star. They do everything,
in fact.
"a few months ago, for instance. it
became obvious that they had decided
to star Tom Moore. 1t was no decision
of mine. In fact, it was with a wrv
face that realized it. Tom Moore
was the best leading man we ever had
"A perfect juvenile because he is
good-looking without being a mere
pretty boy, and there is no such thing
as part too difficult for him. He was
an ideal foil for either Madge Kennedy
Or Mabel Normand. So you can see
that it was an internal nuisance when
he became a star. it meant not only
I organizing q new company but finding
new leading man: and that just at
present is about one Of the hardest
jobs in the world.
THE draft has taken so many Of
them. And those who, for one reason
OF another, are exempt have acquired
an idea that moving pictures came into
existence to pay them bank presidents
salaries"
How can you tell when the public
has made up its mind that an actor or
actress should bs starred % We asked
breathlessly.
"By the size of their ms'l every
morning" replied Mr.. Goldfish dryIy.
IF it fnctuates or is only moderately
large I know 1 have popular leading
man or woman and needn't worry. But
when it reaches a certain steady VOL
ume--sGy 800 letters day-then re

1T is curious, but the stars of the
screen seem to engage the imagination
Of their public far more powerfully
than the actors and actresses whom
people hear rs we'll as see. OF course.

Then, too, the appeal to the eye is
stronger than the appeal to the ear.
Scientists will tell you that the visual
sense is more keenly developed in the
great majority of people than tho

One cannot call the slackening up a

Obviously, the German high COM

Germanic storm troops growing more
weary, Hindenburg apparently Is
puzzled by the sloA progress his over
