New-York tribune., 1922-01-15

Of fact MIR. Lloyd said "That's He,
but on account Of the name Of his
comedy it spols the story to make it
grammatics 81 thought no ono would
know me without my trimmed
spcctaclcs and the first night got here
went to the lTroic and Will Rogers,
without saying a word, threw his rope
around my neck and dragged INC out
into the open. And when went to sec
'Bombo,' Al Jolson suddenly stopped
and said, wv ell. we'll, there's little Har-
old Lloyd, There, that's him, And when
tho show was over every ono crowded
about whether it was or wasn't 7, and
tell you it's dsrned embarrassing.
Why, didn't think any one here would
know mc'-Vhch is q very modest
premise.
(Which do you prefer, New York or
Los Angeles?" MIR. Lloyd laughed.
There isn't any comparison. Los
Angeles is so far ahead of New York.
It's only for the theaters that like
New York
"And after the theater?" vcntured.
"Why, after the theater our town has
yours beat mile. Our restaurants are
bigger and better and gayer than yours,
but, of course, we have no theaters.
I've been here six days and have seen
;oL& I'll ,
and 'Liiom' the best so far" Which is
very good selection. II refuse to
waste an evening on any other form
of entertainment and if any one in
vites me to dinner at 1880 I say You'll
have to make it $3.50 and agree to go
to the theatcr afterward, for refuse
to go in after the curtain is up "
Hear! Hear! How nice it would be if
all theatergoers were Los Angclans.
And then Mr.. Lloyd spoke of his
work, and, would you believe it, it takes
just as long to make one Of those come
dies as 1t does q feature picture! He
makes only about four a year, which is
not enough, because the demand must
always exceed the supply in this case
Mr. Lloyd has been making his come
dies more and more legitimate until
now they are without doubt the best
things of the kind on the screen. And
he is going to introduce something in
his next picture that never has been
done in comedy and soon he is going
to begin to produce six-reel pictures
Which will be six times as good as
the old one-reelers and three times a S
much fun as the present ones.
And when we left the restaurant the
waiter said, THANK you. Mr.. Lloyd"
and the captain said, Good day, Mr.
Lloyd" and the hat boy said, Here
you are, Mr.. Lloyd" and the starter
said, Taxi, Mr.. Lloyd?" and there yod
are.

How Won Stroheinn
Made Capital of
His Prussian Face

Here arc some facts about Enrich

begins it's run at the Central I~hcater

Won Stroheim was born in Vienna
and educated there. 1t is often as

spectacular young foreign nobleman.
In 1909 he arrived in New York, broke.
He went to work at the first job he
could find. 1t was an important job.

Won Stroheim lit out for California,
where the climate was reputed to be
less vigorous. He got a job taking
, care of the Muir woods, and then the
hotel people at Lake Tahoe offered him
more money to row boatloads of plump
pilgrims around the lake.
Tho time came when the war was
getting away to fairly good start in
Europe, and war pictures were click
ing through the camera. Won Stro-
helm offered himself to several Los
Angeles producers as an expert in
everything pertaining to foreign mill
tary costumes. He began work as
technical adviser to some Of them, and
then directors began to notice the man
himself.
AS straight as Il poker, built like q
clothing model, and with a neck that
runs directly from the top of his head
to his shoulders, Won Stroheim was =
perfect type Of the Austrian officer.
With little practice he learned to
simulate the arrogant strides of tho
true Prussian officer.

Don't Tell Truck He's Lucky:
He Doesn't Believe in Luck

that you're lucky chap to have
achieved any degree of success? He's
denying that you have any ambition,
any industry, any. of the qualities that

knew as 'gumpton. He's assuming
that you just sat still and let things
happen to you-that the gods selected
you for favors which they cast in your
lap without any effort on your part !
think it's unjust"
This was the contribution to a dis
cussion Of luck, made by Ernest Truck,
whose playing in the leading role of
Six Cylinder Love" has made that
comedy a success-so much of a sue
cess that more than once he has en-
countercd the attitude he describes.
1T wasn't luck that ever since I've
been on the stage I've figured whether
the thing I planned doing next was
the best thing could do to further
my career. 1t wasn't luck that made
me 90 all sorts of odd jobs to keen
myself alive when first came to New
YORK and couldn't find place for my
self in the scheme of things.
When L first came here | used to
read all the theatrical papers to know
what plays were to be produced. and

read all the books that could get
hold of to see if they might lend them
selves to dramatization and if | could

that there might be boys part in it

ayers Office until he all but threw me
out and then, realizing he wouldn't
pay any attention to me, schemed to
meet the author. When I finally sue
ceedcd she introduced me to the man
aeer and I got the part.
And it wasn't luck that made me
see finally that I couldn't go on for
ever doing boys parts if I was to be
q well rounded player. 1t wasn't luck
which caused me to raise the mus
tsche that made me look less like =

And it wasn't luck that made me real

luck that helped mo to overcome that
handicap.

There was no uncertainty regarding
her future career in Grace Moore s
youthful mind. She knew definitely
that she wanted to go on the stage,
and yet the outlook for her was far
from promising. In the circles in
which her parents moved the stage was
scarcely regarded as a profession for
a young woman-jt was a radical
thought indeed. When the girls OF
these Southern families reached their
teens they married and prepared to
settle down to family life. So little
Grace $ visions conflicted. Much as she
desired to become an actress she feared
that when she reached young woman
hood she, too, would follow the usual
routine.
'ln those days when l looked ahead
to twenty -onc," she said reminiscently.
Il thought would be married woman
with two children"

sioer myself lucky because I am on the
stage. They arc restless. Some of
them confide that they, too. would like
to become actresses, but I tell them
that it is hard work and that it must
be taken just as seriously as any other
profession. If they arc ready for hard
work and plenty of it tell them to so
ahead and go on the stage"
1t is Miss Moore's ambition to do
something really artistic on the musi-
cal comedy stage, and she plans to
work toward this goal. There is no
reason, she feels, why there cannot be
as much real stage art in musical COM
edy as in the other theater forms.
Grace Moore has made an excellent
start toward the port for which she
has set the bow Of her ship.

Singing With Martinelli
Was the Turning Point

Now Grace is just past twenty-one
and instead Of being matron in q
Southern home she is playing her first
Big part in Broadway production,
creating the appealing role of Jean
Jones in Cup In the Clouds" nightly at
the Lyric Theatcr. Expecting little
sympathy from her parents, she told
them nothing Of her girlhood plans and
IN time she became a student in Ward
Belmont College in Nashville. From
Ward Belmont she went to another r
finishing school in Washington, chiefly
to continue her vocal studies. Marti-
nelll, the tenor, came to Washington to
sing at the National Theatcr and Miss
Moore was selected to sing solo as
part of the supplementary program.
1t was after this event that her de-
termination to 60 on the stage became
firm indeed.
George NJ. Cohan and others heard
her sing in Washington and urged her
to try for place on the musical
comedy stage. The authorities at tho
finishing school frowncd upon the plan,
but the girl knew her own mind. She
worked hard, She studied and secured
engagements which were gradually
more and more encouraging. Last wear
she was in Raymond Hitchcock's
"Hitchy-Koo" and acted also as under
study for Julia Sanderson. Now she
has the leading role in Joseph NJ.

Clouds She has role which en-.

in her home in Tennessee not many
years ago she was a singularly thought
full child Unlike curious and inquisi-

tive and guarded most OF her Thoughts
and observations from the cars Of her
elders. Grace had visions, some ra-
diant and others comfortable but not
so radiant. All day long at play she
forsook the usual games Of childhood
and imagined herself an actress. She
gcstured, she mimickcd she walked
dramatically across tho lawn in front
