Handling a Cinema Star

But All the Leaders Of Hollywood Have Had Some
One in the Background to Manage Their
Afairs-Value of a Capable Secretary.
Bv Mollie Merrick.

T oLLYwooD, Calf, May Is
IN. A. N. A.. Between every
delicate little motion picture
i i star and the cruel. cruel world
at large, there Is one-man
buffer who takes the raps, wraps the
takes and knows the answer to every
question and every problem that may
arise. Every problem that involves his
client, that Is.
Sometimes he Is . secretary, some
times a lawyer, sometimes a cousin,
uncle or brother, sometimes Just q
friend on the payroll. Hollywood dig
nifies them all by the title personal
manager" They play Panza to million
and one quixotic conceits and foibles.
They catch tears, bouquets and abuse
their individuality always submerged,
their lives dominated by the food Of
work and worries that swirls about
those from whom they collect their
salary. They are, in most cases, silent
Boswells content to do their writing on
the backs Of checks-their employers
checks.
Many Of them should be credited
with the success Of their charges. For
many a Hollywood star-gem has risen
and become brilliant only through the
lifting and the polishing efforts Of
someone whose penetrating vision could
see a diamond or a ruby In the rough.
Very rough indeed, at times.
There are those who will tell you
that Rudolph Valentines fame was
founded on two strong supports: His
own unquestionable talents, and those
of s. George Ullman. his manager
through several years. Harry Edding-
ton, former motion picture producer,
has carefully, from the background, en-
gineered the undeniably successful
career Of Greta Carlo Eddington made
Garbo the recluse that she Is. Some
say that he had no alternative, that
it was good business as well as good
tlleater. But, at any rate, he's the man
responsible for 1t.
Ernst Lubitsch always acted as Pola
Negri's unofficial and unremunerated
advisor from the time Of her arrival
an event made possible through his di-
rection of her most famous German
picture, "Gipsy Blood" Josef Won
Sternberg watched every moment Of
Marlene Deitrich's Hollywood career all
through its course.
One of the most interesting artistic
manager associations extant IS that be-
tween La Belle Mae West and James O.
Timony, who has guided her business
destiny for IA years. In 1919 T1mony
