Just a Mother Story.

THERE is a certain wistful tender
ness which Belle Bennett dis.
closes upon the screen in her mother
roles.
Not only in stella Dallas was this
convincing quality apparent. but again
in THE Lily" and in THE Reckless
Lady" The impression radiated from
her that she was not merely acting
the mother, but that she really was
swayed by mother love.
And so she was-as the story from
Hollywood goes.
Belle Bennett came TO Hollywood a
few years ago after stage career
largely in stock companies-and
sought work in the movies. With her
was a young boy. a lad just entering
high school-her brother, it was taken
for granted
Engagements were few and not es-
pecially profitable. She got nothing
but small parts, and in time began to
despair of ever getting anywhere in
pictures.
Then Samuel Goldwyn bought the
rights to stella Dallas" and, after
testing many actresses, selected Miss

What They Say of Jetta

S inscrutable as a Sphinx: aloof
- and silent, stunning alike the
clamorous praises Of friends and the
criticisms of rivals--that is Jetta
Goudal. according to a story from the
De Mile, studios at Culver City, Colo.
The motion picture profession has
vet to solve the mystery Of the eng
matte actress who, paradoxical as 1t
may seem, Is the best known and the
least known of all the noted stars OF
the film city.
For Jetta Goudal, strangely, never
mingles in those bright gatherings of
motion picture stars that sometimes
while away the bitter monotony of too
much work, nor Is she ever seen in
the company of an elegantly attired
leading man.
What she does after her work is
over nobody knows. except that she
retires to the mysterious something
that lies just beyond her stout front
door and what she does with her
spare time is perhaps nobody's bust
ness.
And because SO very many persons
seek to unravel the mask of inscruta-
bility which she affects when her work
is over, the little French actress ex.
plains nothing regarding her monop-
oily on the mystery business, and for
this very good reason:
II she should by mistake let out the
secret of her very unusual nature, the
chances are that there would be at
least a thousand other motion picture
stars who would copy her and become
very able enighlas themselves.
Jetta Goudal is enigmatic, decidedly
So If it will interest the motion pic
ture mob at all, it is because she is
shy, very shy.
Jetta works hard, very hard, and
at night she goes home. as all good
stars do, and what she does there is
nobody's business but her own. And
there comes the rub and the reputa-
tion for being a woman OF mystery,
which isn't such a bad reputation.

the late Leo Tolstoy. embarked on his
first movie voyage"

the count. Il used the townspeople
for actors. was the director, and /
acted part, too. It was n short story
OF my fathers, What Men Live By
II called the actors together and
then l read a page from my fathers
book. After that we would make the
scene as we reacted to IL from the
pages in the book. The whole film
cost but few thousand rubles."
That was II years ago. Today Count
Tolstoy is in Hollywood-seat OF the
great film industry of the world. He
is stunned with the progress of movie
making. He cannot make a conpari
son, for there is no comparison. His
movie career in Russia is forgotten
Now he is part and parcel OF the
great American film industry-third
biggest industry in the world-ard II

Harry Councillor and Bill Werber of
Tech were two star players handi-
