q GREEN vampires as well as

ways successful in their ef-
forts. If you do not believe it, just
read what Nita Naldi has to say.
And she ought to know, for she
is probably the most talked Of
Gree in the movies today.
When one plays vamp roles
she surely has her troubles" said
Miss Naldi. ''In Blood and Sand
just walked away with the heart
Of the young bull fighter, but in
Anna Ascends' I don't seem to be
getting anywhere trying to steal
the love Of young newspaper
man. Maybe it's because newspa-
per men are so hard-boiled.
"These scenario writer's are
smart persons. They know when
their hero shouldn't be vamped
and when he should. However, it
makes no difference what hap
pens In the end, for I have to
work just as hard whether I win
'em or not"
