A modern Jacob would not dream of serving months much less fourteen years for his Rachel and if tl he were so foolish hed he'd probably discover Rachel at the end of ol the fourteen years with a husband a a. divorce or a grown full career that couldn't be interfered with by by bya a mere faithful lover Dante was true to Beatrice beyond the grave Queen Mary I said that the name of ot Philip would be found graven on her f. f heart Romeo and Juliet Jullet went down to death rather than forsake one another but the modern maiden cannot understand understand under under- stand stan any of them We do not believe in romance A Ayoung Ayoung Ayoung young girl on the highway of life meets what hat once Would have been called the theone theone one man Ramon Illustrates They are in love In an older day neither would have looked further the they would have he pledged their lives and their hearts heam death dirt did them t to ton one on another until 3 e J 17 a aC C d N N A 0 l kp J f f k I 5 The screen lover Ramon Novarro in a singularly beautiful love scene t from one of his recent films part But today after the first overwhelming overwhelming overwhelming over over- whelming moment the girl wipes wipe's the dazzle from her clear eyes raises her practical head and looks him over He is not unique she says to herself hersel He may be looking good-looking but has he any money If he has any money how about his social social position position If he possesses that what do I know about his abi ability ity to push ahead Even Eyen if the temporary insanity of first love has catapulted them both into matrimony matrimony matrimony mat mat- it Is very cry likely that she will reconsider presently Oh I could have hav done better I she thinks and continues to look around with an eye to improving on the man in the case And if after she has met and fallen in love with a youth she finds that there are obstacles to their marriage she will very likely let him go gc He isn't worth the effort I she says instead of remaining steadfast and true Ramon agrees with Edna St. St Vincent Millay that All AlZ the loveliest things there Were be beCome beCome beCome Come simply so it seems to to- to me Our generation is sacrificing the real thing for the false Money success fame fame we we struggle for them give gi up the best years of ot our lives for them hope worry and despair over them them for for what They are no of iw ua I Ramon f y f S Avers S d f KhY ri i i iH M ad M H l' l i Women Wornell en of Today TOda i y I the Noted Screen Lover fY F Are Too Hard Too Practical Too o 7 N r Shrewd to Take l i s v Fad Hd s r a d s An Any Interest in vr Romance and f Chivalry Is Gone t swA I Because Women i. i vF Are More i. i jr Y v i J S y Id y d drat a Interested in Careers F f R i i rd F 7 1 L J Fd fah F and t k d v Pleasure Money v Ss o 5 Clothes o y il r i v r. r y L t y t i 3 G J n t s f r I 4 1 lit L JM J M I i w It H l na fir tt t iZ i j r tJ i ry f fn t ii S Si 5 rn H I vy 44 r 44 7 Cur y j li y aJ t. t jt f s l y 7 Z f fw y rF rt b A Aka ka Romeo and Juliet went down to death rather than forsake one another an an- other Painting by G.

Mexican village where he and his father mother and eleven brothers and sisters lived in a peaceful hacienda Poverty did not touch them with its hideous fingers but wealth was far from their door also The church was a a. dominant feature of their lives Ilves Fam Family ly love brooded tenderly over them Simple and natural pleasures and much music and singing brightened toil and study He came to Hollywood while he was still In his teen teens and kept spirit and flesh together by teaching music and working as an extra in pictures His sweet and secret ambition was to be an actor but at first it seemed that no director could be persuaded that he could act He joined the Marian Morgan dancers and did a succession of dances in other players' players films flIms He was an extra in Rudolph Valentino's Valentino's Val Val- first big success The F Four ur Horsemen The biblical lovers Jacob and Rachel as painted by Dice lyce Jacob labored fourteen years to win Rachel for his bride The Marian Morgan dancers were engaged engaged engaged en en- to to give a Spanish Fandango all allin allin allin in panton pantomime me at a a. Little Theatre one night Ramon was cast in the male lead and appeared in costume almost unbelievably unbelievably unbelievably beautiful Oh and Ah and andOh andOh the who at at- at Oh Ohl again sighed tended Perhaps the rapture of the flappers flap Slap flappers pers helped more likely it was the ability ability ability abil abil- ity and personality of the youth in the pantomime At any rate Rex Ingram who had dropped in to please the management management management man man- went scent back stage to meet Ramon Come to the studio tomorrow for a screen test test he said and when Ramon had taken the test Mr Ingram cast east him himas himas as Rupert of in The Prisoner of Zenda from which first rung the young actor climbed the ladder to the stars HE modem modern woman is not brave because because beJ be- be THE T J- J cause the things she does are done with no fear of consequences She knows that she may transgress all the time old-time rules of deportment do all manner of rash and reckless acts and nothing will happen observes Ramon I You should not go to such and a a. place you say to these girls You must be careful about associating with so-and-so so and she tosses her head and says Dont worry Im I'm playing safe It is a a. boast of the modern woman that she can take care of herself She knows everything No Noman man can teach her She is cynical and selfish She wants her own way Her appeal is destroyed because men raen naturally want to be protectors It is a apart apart apart part of the up make-up of a man to glory in feeling himself himself str stronger nger and braver and wiser than than a woman to take care of her hera a d have her lean on him It is not necessary necessary necessary essary for her to know how to take care of herself for no man will hurt a girl who looks to him for protection The trouble with us all in this ro- ro age agn Is that we do not trust each other We have lost faith in our fellow man and woman Faith is the key to happiness I remember when I was a little boy In Mexico learning from my mother what trust can accomplish Most Mexican servants steal you know We had from three to half a dozen to care for our big family When my mother was going away she used always to go to the least honest maid in her employ and give ive her herthe herthe herthe the keys to the supplies I make you responsible for the house 1 Queen Mary l I said that the nam name j 3 of Philip II would be found graven on her heart Reproduced from a rare miniature while I am gone she would say I am sure you will take great care of everything everything everything every every- thing and I shall have no uneasiness about how all is is going for I put my trust in you you The maid would be so happy and so proud that nothing in this world could have persuaded her to steal the slightest drop or crumb It was her deligh to show my mother how worthy she was yas of ot ottha that tha t wonderful trust If a girl trusts tr a man man or or a man trusts trusta a a. girl nothing girl nothing can spoil their relation t- t ship But we have so little faith I say that women are hard and practical practical practical and inconstant but I think it is only a reflection of this unromantic age We were talking only last night Saying that all people are searching searching searching striving searching striving to find something that will satisfy their need It Itis Itis Itis is not money It Is not success Nor fame Nor anything that can be held inthe inthe in tn the hand The things of the spirit are those that endure I believe that we are on the verge of a a. spiritual regeneration In all great movements men have been the leaders so I think that men will probably probably probably ably be the leaders still But women will Inspire them so that women will be as they have always been the source of greatness I think that women are higher than men they men they stand between God and man Women know more than they realize be because because because be- be cause being born women gives them an Innate knowledge that is 15 denied to men When women make use of their marvelous marvel marvel- ous gift they offer Inspiration to I think that women were meant to be idealized and that we shall resume that relationship THERE has long been a rumor or that Ramon would presently forsake the glare of the and the click of ot the cameras for the quiet and peace of ot the cloister Ramon however denies this He may d desert sert the studio for the concert stage some time in the future and to this end he is a pupil of ot Louis Graveure conscientious conscientious
