JANET GAYNOR KNOWS
WHAT SHE WANTS

Would Janet Gaynor like to do
a dressed up" part instead of the
little waif characters that have
been her lot since she rose to star
domH
Most certainly she would, only
Janet's idea of dressed up role
is entirely different from the aver
age persons. You and | might
think that such such a part would
mean an extensive wardrobe of
gorgeous clothes, the very last
word i'll style and color-perhaps
a bit ultra, in fact. But not Janet
Here idea of a dressed up part
is something in the way of period
role, something in the crinoline
and lace of the Colonial times, or
the severely plain modes of the
Empire day. And above all, some
thing that would call for a charac-
terizatI0n. The S0-eailcd society
roles of the modern day have no
appeal at all for little Miss Gay
nor inasmuch as they are almost
always devoid of character.
In Street Angel, " to be shown
at the Yashon Theatre, Saturday
September %, Miss Gaynor is al
lowed to dress up" a wee bit for
short time. She wears the filmy
costumes of the star of a tiny one
ringed circus.
Charles Farrell is co-featured
with Miss Gaynor in this produc-
tion which was made for Fox
Films under the direction Of Frank
Borzage.

Be gone awhile before,
Be now a moment gone before,
Yet, doubt not, soon the seasons
shall restore
Them both to you.
They have but turned a corner
still
They re pushing on with right
good will,
Thro mire and marsh, by heugf
and hill,
That self same arduous way
That self same upland hopeful
way,
That they with You through many
a doubtful day
Attempted still.
They are not dead, these friends
not dead,
But, in the path we mortals tread
Got some few, trifling steps aheac
And nearer to the end,
So that you, too, once past th'
bend,
Shall meet again, as face to face
these friends
You fancy dead.
Push gayly on, strong heartl Th'
while
You travel forward mile by mile
They loiter with a backward smil'
TIL you can overtaSe,
And strain their eyes. to searel
their wake.
Or smiling as they see you through
the brake,
Wait on a stile.
