Interesting and Edifying
BY Harriette Underh;ll


One day recently Norma Talmadge's
press representative called US up and
said, Miss Talmadge is making her
first Chinese picture. She has been
securing the Chinese shops and restau-
rants for material, and if you care to
Interview her no doubt she will have
much to say that is interesting and
edifying."
So. not because we cared about
learning much that was interesting and
edifying, but because Norma Talmadge
is the best fun in the world, we looked
forward with enthusiasm to the tea
which had been arranged for us at the
Algonquin.
Every time we see Norma Talmadge
we wonder how she does it. She is un-
doubtcdly one of the finest emotional
screen actresses we have. and vet w,
know her TO be an inimitable come
dierNc. No one else has sense of
humor quite like Norma's unless it be
her sister Constance.
When we went to keep our tea en-
gagement three Talmadges descended
on us-Norma, Constance and Mrs.
Talmadge. They all began to talk at
once. and it was such good entertain
ment that it was some time before we
got chance to say, please, Miss
Tamadge-I mean Norma-say some
thing interesting and edifying," accord
ing to formula.
Undressing and edifying," exclaime d
Miss Talmadge. IL guess you've come
to the wrong place. Why, I don't even
know what they mean"
