PHOTOPLAY MAGAZINE—ADVERTISING SECTION * . 7 How To Do It (Concluded from page 08) | ese that point on Miss Razchell showed a personal interest in me. Everybody referred to me as “Lotta’s new onc,” mean- ing her new “discovery.” The next day Miss Razebell had a row with the director. Of course she triumphed, great artiste that she is. The subject of the row was, I learned, none other than me. Mics Razchell had seen my talents and knew I possessed the attributes of the ideal screen lover, So she insisted that my part be changed so I would win her in the end. | This necessitated some trivial changes in the plet, and the director stupidly was against them. “The public wont stand for you marrying a naked cannibal,” roared Punch to Miss Razchell. “I could put some clothes on," I suggested. “Oh shut-up,” said Punch. Finally they fixed the sxcenaria 30 that I would be only half-cannibal, the daughter of a white missionary mother and a cannibal father who had been reformed by the mis- sionary and culinary work of my mother. Thus over night I became a leading man and was hailed as a discovery by the public. But my struggle was not over. The di- rector, jealous because he hadn't discovered me, wanted to fire me. Professional jealousy is a terrible thing. Then, too, the producer couldn’t see me in anything but half-can- nibal parts. That is another thing—as soon as you triumph in one type of part they want you to keep on playing it. If it hadn't been for Miss Razchell, I might have gone on playing cannibals eternally, In her next picture I played an English lord with the same daring as in the cannibal part, Contrary to persistent rumor, Miss Raze- hell and I have never became man and wife. We were just co-stars. Here again I must admit that professional jealousy crept in, although not on my part. Seeing that Miss Razehell was becoming jealous over the way the exhibitors were featuring me above her, I went to the producer and suggested he star me alone. He said the best he could do would be to put me in a serial playing the Man-Ape. I was not in sympathy with the part, as I am ambitious to play such parts as Ibsen and Shakespeare. Anyhow, the company had given me rotten storics with all the fat parts going to Miss Raze- hell, despite the fact that the exhibitors and fans were clamoring for me. And my salary, even though it was in the four fig- ures, was ridiculous im comparison with what I was earning the producer, T have figures to chow that I was carning the old usurer a half million a year clear profit on cach of my pictures. So I am about to form a company of my own, a§ soon as the capital has been maised. In conclusion, let me sey that there is nothing to “pull” in the movies. You have to make good on your own talent without the aid of anyone. I do know a few stars who have been made through the love inter- est on the part of someone, but they are waning fast and soon will be secn no more. To make a success in the movies you've got to have brains, intellect, and be a gen- iceman of culture. But above all you've got to be a Genius. EN.
