4 Valentino Successor.

IT seems quite a coincidence that
Rex Ingram. who gave Valentino
his first big chance at fame and
services as a result. should be the
producer who now introduces q rival
of Valentines in the dark haired
dark eyed. debonaire Ramon Ma
varro. Such is the case, however,
and, under the circumstances. one
rather marvels at Ingram's willing
ness to accord such opportunities to
fortune-hunting in the movies the
moment fame comes to him.
Ingram. of course. has not q great
deal of choice in the matter. His
task is to make each succeeding
photoplay production bigger and bet
If he happens to have under contract
an actor who may leave him after
he makes that actors reputation, 1t
still does Ingram no good to have
that actors light under a bushel. as
it were. In this respect. at least.
Ingram, the producer. seems to be
usurping the place left empty by D.
W. Griffith after Griffith himself
achieved wealth and fame and found
lit no longer particularly desirable to
select and create screen stars by the
gross.
In one particular. though, Griffith
and Ingram are alike. and that is
their determined idea of making the
director paramount in photoplay
production and picking players for
their ability to act only and not for
their ability to get their names into
electric lights.
However. Ingram has not only
placed Navarro on the threshold of
stardom. but he has also brought to
the same position that dark haired
beauty Barbara La Marr. who has
the chief (and practically the only)
feminine role in ''Trifiing Women"
Ingram's latest production. Miss La
Marr will also be recalled for her
enactment of the role of temptress
