Gloria Has Grit.

THE only woman actor producer re-
naming in the motion picture field
Is Gloria Swanson.
Even Mary Pickford has quit, fnd-
ing producing too much Of a burden.
But Gloria sticks to her determination
to carry the full responsibility in at
least two more pictures-thus following
the precedent she set several years ago
when she turned her back on a straight
acting contract that would have meant
$4,000 a week for two years-more
than $4,000 900. SEE
There are. as a matter of fact. only
two stars besides Gloria who continue
to Harold Lloyd and Charlie
Chaplin" says Photoplay Magazine.
Harold makes only one picture a year
and Charlie less. Both of these men
have loyal organizations of years stand
ing. Gloria, on the other hand, makes
several pictures a year. And there is
absolutely no one to whom she can turn.
She has no shrewd relatives capable of
advising her, and no tested and tried
staf on which she can depend
Part OF Gloria's troubles are financial
She must, the article points out,
shoulder the whole burden of negoti-
ating with bankers, and sometimes it's
difficult. On one occasion. in order to
keep up appearances. she arrived in
Hollywood IN the proper private car
but the car was hired on borrowed
money.
To her career as star-producer Gloria
sacrificed herself. her home and her
husband. the Marquis Henri de Falaise

Novarro Reborn.

IN his latest -ooldwyn-M Mayer
picture arthur Schnitzler's anus
ing and sophisticated 'Daybreak'D
Raymond Novarro makes an abrupt
switch from Spanish Characterization,
and, instead of q broad-brimmed hat
and long black cape with scarlet
borders, he appears in the tight hitting
gold laced uniform of an ofiicer Of the
Austrian Royal Guards before the war.
And his hair is closely clipped accord
ing to military regulations.
Will Kasda, debonair young lieuten-
ant, the character he creates, is the
same sort of gay love adventurer that
Schnitzler presented in the person of
Max, the hero of his first great play,
The Affairs Of Anatol." To Kasda
an interlude with Laura is just another
love affair, but twist given the story
by Schnitzler carries the tale to the
gates of tragedy.
The eminent French artist and di-
rector, Jacques Feyder, was given the
duty of preserving intact the unique
Continental atmosphere of this produc-
ton.
