She Stood Alone

Yet there is no apparent sue
cesSor to Marie DreSsler. The actor
who was to pick up the mantle of
the lamented Rudolph Valentino
never appeared. There were pal
lid limitations of the great Latin
lover but none who completely
filled the spot he held in the
hearts of the moviegoing public.
A talent, unique and distinctive
like Marie Dressler's is not easily
detected. Without going back
many years I can recall when
Marie Dressler's services went
begging. She had just completed
and released a full length comedy,
"The Galatians and the Muir
phys" a low comedy drinking
shennanigan that aroused the
Irish. societies.. Metro Goldwyn
put it on the shelf and Marie
DresSler and Polly Moran went
into a jobless limbo for many
months. Her later chance
brought the tremendous popu-
larity that made her the No. l
box office attraction with exhibi-
tors.
At the time of her death
could she have been assured a
tenure of life that would have
meant more pictures-I doubt
whether Metro Goldwyn Mayer
would have sold her contract for
$1,000,000 cash. Her replacement
value was priceless.
Marie Dressler had so many in
dividual qualities it will be diff
ficult to match it is my belief
that her successor will not be
found in the ranks of Hollywood
aspirantS. For one thing I have
heard Marie DreSsler we'll de-
scribed as. "Everybody's Mother" :"
That is she reflected so many Of
tender, sincere. and commendable
character traits, such a genuine
wholesomeneSS and human sin
certify in maternal roles, it was
easy to vision her as a desirable
member Of ones family.
For another thing have seen
Marie DreSsler carry low comedy
roles that necessitated action,
which played by others, would
have been ludicrous or burleSque.
This queen of comedy and mis-
tresS of fineSSe could make them
believable. She also had a fac
ulty of halting on the right side
of line that separated vulgarity
and good taste.
