The Sister-COnfessOr
Of Hollywood Idols

Miss st. Johns has better
right, perhaps, to say that than
any other writer, or commenta-
tor. She grew up with Holly:
wood. She gave to the lusty in
fant industry, back in the silent
era, the genius she inherited
from her father, the late Earl
Rogers, called the greatest
lawyer the West has ever
known.
Earl Rogers was endowed
with an almost psychic ability
to analyze, to dissect, to look at
life effectively. The same fac
ulty is a part of his daughters
vibrant makeup. Her fathers
talents blazed in the courtroom.

HOLLYWOOD, Jan. 16.
Since the first rickety camera
was set up in Hollywood,
more than a quarter of a
century ago, hundreds of men
and women, some as hand
some, or beautiful, as super
beings, some as grotesque as
gargoyles, have skyrocketed
to fame.
They have been called
movie stars.
But in the entire history of
Hollywood, says Adela Rogers
St. Johns, there have been only
10 real stars.

her as friends, seeking aid, ad-

"'Movie STAR" she said, 'is
a sadly-abused term. It has been
kicked around cruelty for nearly
three decades. 1t has been ap-
piled to hundreds of men and
women who didn't deserve it.
'"The common denominator OF
stars is the same quality that
champions have. It is the ability
to deliver the best you have at
the particular time you need it
in the clutches as they say
in baseball.
Champions have it, whether
on the center court at Forest
Hills or in the ring at Madison
Square Garden, or on the Eight

When an artist paints a pic
ture, to make it seem lifelike, he
must paint it one-third larger
than life. The screen is like
that. The complete exaggeration
must always be there. Only
when motion picture stars have
that exaggeration will they be
real stars"
Lets see," she unused. LETS
see if we can name the real
stars, the men and women in
whom that quality of exaggera-
ton is-or was-supremely evi-
dent.
