story. A little bird connected with the
studio said something about the thing

Lincoln Is portrayed as the young law

ture years to be convincing there.
Did you like him in the Drinkwater
play?" asked l.
i. In the last two acts. I didn't care
for him at all in the first part of the
play"
OF Walter Huston he said, He is the
most convincing actor of his time"
dignified line for a dignified artist.
D. W. Grifith. whom have often
list of the great. seems to be on the
edge of an interesting renaissance.
There's fire in his eye and the certain
tenseness of the man who has got
something good up his sleeve-and ar
tistic Impotence to be on.
The old masters first adventures with
the new medium were sad affairs. Lupe

tunes and some dialogue that sounded
like a dog fight. / refer TO La Paivo,"
or Lady of the Pavements" 1 think
1t was called.
When the vogue for half-frozen, in
hibited little girls wearing white or
CANDIES with a black velvet ribbon tied
about their middies passed, D. W., who
specialized in this form of popular APP
peal, would have seemed to have been
left stranded.
I lunched with Frederick March yes
terday. He is the charming actor whom
all Hollywood is betting upon to take
the place which talkies will probably
make vacant for Jack Gilbert.
But has he the Tt necessary" was
my bromide comeback to these prophe-
cies.
Just teeming with It," was the an
sWer. Wait and see"
I'm telling this story just to snow
what an TT" producer / am not. we
began to order luncheon, and each dis
covered that the other side was an ac1-

fine gray eyes.

Yes"

/ You know said he. they're letting
me have a little f1let Mignon now"
MOI" l exclaimed.
Il actually feel like a king" he added
We talked of plays. Mr.. March Is
loyal to the stage. and has dream oil
| going back some day. Every good actor
has. And we talked OF pictures.
Frederick March has the delightful
humility characteristic of the able In
any art. He is grateful for what pic
lures are teaching him. He hopes tho
public will grow to want the Deter
things-the good stage successes they
have never seen done as they should.
We talked of people, of Marion Spit
ger and Kenneth Harlan and Thyrf
Samter Winslow of Connecticut, OF New
York
"Yon either love It or you don't" sale
Frederick March. Il love New York
Again there was an elusive glimpse
Of that light which others see behlnc
the regular features of the actor--tha
light which makes them feel that herr
il the coming idol of the motion pic

Mr.. March wondered why more so
phtsticated Aims are made on the Eas
Coast than in Hollywood. He told M
the amazing original ending Of zeal

nhope and calls the police
II killed him. My motive was jeal

Splendid stuff" said Mr.. March
And most radical for cinema. II na'
thrill--a difference"
The new TT man of Hollywood
spread his fine, ascetic hands In elo
quent explanation. On the fourth finge
OF his left hand was thin platinum
band-an honest-to-goodness wedding
ring, worn proudly in Hollywood town!
