The Mother of All Living.

To call Vera Gordon. "the mother
OF all living" is, in the first place, to
appropriate to her and for myself
the name of bestselling novel, and
in the second place. il isn't literally
true. of course. or even in part. since
Vera Gordon is the honest-andtrue-
mother OF only two children, a son
eighteen and a daughter aged six
teen.
On the other hand. Vera Gordon has
been playing mother parts since she
surely is deserving Of special mention.
Motherhood Is always difficult role
TO enact. It is so apt to lead one
into sticky. byways of over-sentimen-

born mother" or a born artist
with a flair for just that. is to put
II very mildly.
Vera Gordon first began to act in
her native Russia. There she played
on the stage in both the Russian
and the Jewish tongues and continued
In these languages after she came to
Canada, which was. / believe, her
first lighting place in America.
Between then and now lies long
and dreary struggle for a chance. for
recognition of her ability. for the
portunity. This came to her. fully,
as most of us know. when Fannie
Hurst commended her for the mother
role in "Humoresque," and Frank
Borzage recognized the truth of the
fact that she and none other was
the one to do the part. In other words
and direfully, II 1t had not been for
Miss Hurst and Mr.. Borzage we
might never have seen one OF the
greatest screen performances ever
given. Vera Gordon. in "Humoresque."
For years no director would even
see her. And IL they did see her
could see nothing in her. perhaps
because she isn't a blond ingenue
with ritZy curls. but is. instead. a
stoutish, plain appearing woman with
that something in her eyes, a COM

artist not mediocre. but great.
And now, after the scars OF battle.
which show only in desire to make
her family comfortable and the more
needy ones less needy than before.
Vera Gordon is sending her boy to
college. riding about in her own
Limousine and taking care OF a null
titude (she wouldn't admit this, per-
haps) of relatives and friends and
others who are not relatives at all
and don't know that they are friends.
