Editor Is Mourned

Jimmy Quirk, editor and pub
Usher of Photoplay. is dead. A
fine fellow and a loyal friend of
the celluloid industry. I knew
him in the days when he was
night police reporter at Boston
police headquarters in Pemberton
Square. We used to pass dime
picture theater in. fremont Row
called the Comique, and Jimmy
Quirk marveled at the steady
stream of customers it attracted.
1t opened his eyes to the possibil-
ity of money in the motion picture
industry. He served on The
Washington Times, and then it
was his good luck to start the first
real fan magazine.
Occasionally I got a letter from
Editor Quirk, for he was one who
never failed to acknowledge any
kind reference to his activities by
motion picture editors. When
Adela Rogers st. John once Wis
tied Washington with Mrs. Wally
Reid they spotted me as from Bos-
ton. You talk" said Mrs. st.
John, Gust like great friend of
mine, Jimmy Quirk. Do you know
him?" From that moment on we
were friends.
He liked to keep up his con-
tact with active newspaper men
and every once in a while dropped
into the Times-Herald office for
tanning bee with Managing
Editor Mike Flynn and a word
with this editor. Out of pic
lures he made a snug fortune,
but he always remained the
same. His last letter to me
asked me to catch his first
speech ever a radio network and
give hiM the real lowdown on
his ability as an ether orator.
I was able to report he was good.
The industry has lost a friend
who will be missed. Peace to
his ashes.

GouIdins Finds
Four Points
in Acting

Acting, according to Edmund
Goulding, is not one thing but
compound of many things.
Few film directors have had
Goulding's success in wringing
from screen stars the utmost of
artistry they possess. Under his
guidance players surpass them
selves. Perhaps because, having
once been an actor, too, he can
play upon them with the vir-
tuosity of an actor.
Gloria Swanson achieved her
highest acting triumph when
Goulding directed her in THE
Trespasser." And in the eyes of
the majority. the heights to
which Greta Garbo rose in
Grand Hotel" mark her loftiest
ascension of the emotional scale
Goulding was at the directorial
helm of that mammoth produc.
ton.
1t is for this reason that Gould
ing may be pardoned for predict
ing that Marion Davies will
eclipse anything she has yet done
in Blonde of the Follies," the
new Cosmopolitan production
coming soon to LoeW's Fox Thea,
ter.
Miss Davies herself affirms
that Goulding understood her as
no other director. According to
Goulding there are four cardinal
points of acting which should be
clarified. They are as follows:
Acting is thought. If you can't
think, you can't act. But great
many people who think they can
act can't think.
Acting is feeling. If you can't
feel, you can't act, though a
great many people who feel they
can act can't feel.
Acting is honesty. A great
many people who believe they
can act can't, because they're not
honest.
Acting is charm. Many people
who are charmed with the idea of
acting lack charm"
Goulding further believes that
real actors are born. Acting can
be taught, he says, but without
the gift, no one can be taught to
act.

Late Stage News
Direct From
Broadway

NEW YORK, August 1T is
possible that Earl Carroll may
regain possession in the fan OF
the theater which was opened for
him last August and renamed the
Casino in the spring when the
late Florenz ziegfeld took over the
house for his revival of Show
Boat" Persistent Broadway re-
ports to this effect could not be
confirmed, although Mr.. Carroll
admitted that he had recently
discussed the matter with repre-
sentatives of the 755 Seventh
Avenue Corporation, owners OF
the theater and the land on
which it stands.
Mr.. Carroll is preparing two
musical productions for fall-one
of them new edition of the
"VanitieS," the revue which
opened the theater. Possession
of the house was relinquished by
the producer in March following
a dispute with the owners.
B. G. De sylvia, who is co.
author with Laurence Schwab
of the forthcoming "Humpty
Dumpty," will journey to New
York from California next week
to help prepare the production.
He will bring with him the com
pleted score by Nacio Herb Brown
and Richard Whiting. These
composers will come on from
Hollywood a week later to attend
rehearsals. Sid SilVers and Clara
LangSner are late additions to
the "Humpty Dumpty" cast.
Henry Travers has been en-
gagged for The Good Earth"
which will open here on october
3 as the Theater Guilds first
offering of the season. Mr.. Tray
ers, who has appeared in many
Guild productions, will have the
role of Wang's father in the
dramatization of Pearl S. Bucks
novel.
The first Shubert presentation
of the new season will probably
be a play called Crimson Cat"
which was not included in that
organizations recent announce
ment of it's activities. The author
ship of the play, opening in At
lantic City on August %, is un'

accurately enough for you to
know that she did. Get load

we've been waiting for. The
chance of a lifetime. The old
dame wants to marry me. Can
you beat that?
THE whole thing is a cinch.

she'll do it, too. She's so nuts

It'll stick with her for a
couple of years and get all the
dough I can out of her. Mean

all over again. And we'll both
be sitting pretty. Did you ever
hear of a more perfect plan?"

Dreamed Of Riches
So there you have Mary and
Arthur Greene. The man blab-

Their favorite form of amuSe-
ment was to stand on the out
skirts of an important function
and watch the big shots as
they passed.

I'd tog you out like nobody's

Just wait and see."
So Mary Waited-and waited.
The months rolled by, and Ar
thur did little about getting
the money aside from talking
and dreaming. 1t grew so bad
that nonappearance of actual
cash began to threaten their
marriage.
Their bitterness centered
upon each other. Deprived of
the thing they wanted most in
life, they became irritable.
They began to insult each other
with that beautiful fineSSe that
comes only after months of
married life. They still loved
each other after fashion. I
suppose. But love, to them,
wasn't nearly as important as
that million.
You probably knew that Ar
thur would eventually hit the
perfect plan. Did 1 tell you

To Co-Star in

HOLLYWOOD, Calf, Aug. g.
You can read a double signif-
icance into Fox's announcement
yesterday that Will Rogers will
play the farmer in the film ver-
sion of "State Fair"
In the first place, this picture
now definitely becomes FoX's con-
tribution to the all-star cycle
started by Grand Hotel" With
Rogers and Janet Gaynor in the
cast, and with more important
players to follow. Estate Fair"
promises to be one of the i'm
portant specials of the year.
Secondly, the casting of the
cowboy comedian leaves a plain
inference that he and Fox either
have reached a new agreement
or will 90 so in the near future.
The cid Rogers contract, calling
for $225,000 a picture, will be up
in September.
Meanwhile, author Phil Stong
is in Hollywood helping to adopt

Henry King is to direct.
And here's another echo of
that reported engagement be-
tween Nancy Lyons and Harry

They Read the Will

IIIST NCoO wv
It was then that the other
woman solved the entire prob
lem in the simplest of fash
ions. She merely went to sleep
one night and didn't get up
any more. Arthur was exultant.
What could be more perfect?
He'd now have Mary and the
money, too. Hot-Cha!
The day after the funeral the
will was read. Arthur sat
quietly and tried his best to
look fearful. The lawyer talked.
The entire estate of the late
Mrs. Greene was left to her son
by a. former marriage, Harold
Hale. And to her husband,
Arthur Greene, went the sum OF
one dollar.
Arthur no longer had to act
the fearful part. He sat stunned
and miserable. He raised his
eyes and looked over at Harold.
There was no mistaking the tri-
umphant smile on the face of
the other man. Arthur knew
that Harold knew. And he
knew that Harold had told his
mother about Mary. The be-
quest of ST was Mrs. Greene's
little joke; her reward to Ar
thur for his infidelity.
1t took him almost two days
before he could summon enough
courage to visit Mary. He had
put it off as long as possible
because he dreaded the eXplana-
tions and the scenes that would
surely ensue. They we're back
now where they had started
from three years before. Back
to poverty that would now be
harder to bear than it had been
in the beginning. True, Mary
had saved some money. But
how long would that last?
At Mary's boarding house, the
landlady was most courteous to
Mr.. Greene. She was sorry-but
Mary had moved away two days
before.
She's going to be married."
she explained.
"Married?" repeated Mr..
Greene incredulously. ITO
Whom?"
L can't remember his name
exactly" she replied, but it's
some young man who has been
coming to see her for six months
or so. He just came into a for
tune. I think the name is Vale
or Hale, Or. Hale, that's it?

monthly alimony check came
in, was she putting it away for
the day that she and her dar-
ling would be together again?
I'm sorry to say that she
wasn't.
Ente" Harold, the serpent in
Arthur'S Eden. Harold was his
present wife's grown son. He
was a sneering, Sulking youth
who was almost as old as his
new papa. Harold knew all
the angles, and he held moth
ing but contempt for the man
his mother had married. There
was no open enmity between
the two men, but you'd never
mistake them for two doves.
Boom goes another year.
And still another. Arthur
visited Mary more frequently
now, neglecting his elderly
wife to do so. Mary was dis
satisfied, and said so frankly.
When, she wanted to know,
was Arthur going to give his
aging mamma the air? She
was sick of this scheming and
Sneaking.
Arthur kept putting her off.
The money wasn't coming as
easily as he had anticipated.
His wife was keeping him firm
ly bound by his dependence
upon her. Much as he now
loved Mary, the idea of going
back to his old life of priva-
ton was just a little too un-
attractive. So he urged Mary
to wait a little longer.
