GLADYS WALTON
IS TO RETURN
TO THE SCREEN
Now Has Husband and
Baby—Talks of We-
man’s Rights a n (1
Pictures . l
'y“lu '3“
\.._ ..
Gladys Walton. the exquisite lit-
tle flapper who .used to cavort
through pictures a. couple of years
ago is preparing for h r reappear-
ance on the screen. Dur ng the time
that she has been away from the
era. she has acquired a. husband.
a. vigorous young American business
manvby the name Herbel and a
baby.
While Miss Walton was in New
York recently an interviewer lunch-
ed with her at the Hotel Pennsylv
val-Ila. She found her curiously un-
like some movie stars in that she
is more attractive off the screen
than she is on it. She has exquisite
coloring. for one .thing. and the
rarest of blue eyes—which are
things that are lost entirely on the
screen. Her whole appearance is
like a pastel—a. delicate blue and
rose and brown, in which the sick
brown of her soft waving hair
seems to cluster with incredible
daintlness over her well shaped
forehead.
She wore a simple little frock of
light blue silk crepe and her tur-
ban-shaped light blue hat was such
as to bring out the beauty of her
eyes and checks and hair with .1
clarity and purity of tone that was
clinply bewildering in, its perfection.
She declared that she was not a
"new woman" but just an old-
fashioned "clinging vine" sort of a.
girl who wants to lean on her hus—
band.
“Everywhere I go." she said. “I
hear women talking about their
rights and their freedom. so far as
their husbands are concerned. It
seems to me that such women don't
love their husbandsrvery deeply. If
they did. they wouldn‘t worry over
their ‘freedom.’ They would just be
happy in their lme. as I am; for I
can truthfully say that I'm not a
‘new woman' who wants to lean on
her husband and have him shield
her from all unpleasantness."
Miss \Valton went,to the screen
. from the class room. She experien—
ced none of the hardship which be-
fall to the lot of most movie aspir~
ants.
"I got in quite easily." she said.
“At the time I was visiting some
friends in Los Angeles. I was going
to school in Oklahoma and went to
Los Angeles on my vacation. \Vhile
there, someone suggested that I go
up to the studios nearby and get a
job in the comedies that were be-
ing made. I did this more as a. lark
than anything else. but to my sur-
prise, I was promptly accepted and
played in three comedies. Then
came the time for me to return
home to school. Just as I was about
to leave. I was offercdoa six months'
contract and this rmlted in by giv-
ing up school and going into pic-
tures permanently. That was faur
years ago and I'm still in them."
She smiled as she finished. and
the interviewer thought how much
of a schoolgirl she still was.

CENSORS’ RULES
Oflicials Would 'Cut
Out the Four Gospels
To what extent does the present
system of censorship of moving pic-
tu s accomplish its purpose?
his is a. question in the minds of
many. William C. DeMille. well-
known moving picture producer. in
an article entitled “Bigon and Bet-
tered Pictures." in the September
Scribner's asserts that the censors
are using the wrong methods in rul-
ing out certain features. He shows
that under the censorship of today
many of the world' s masterpieces
would be banished from the screen.
“To limit the amount of evil. or
the kind of evil which may be shown
by impel-inc a. set of narrow-mind-
ed, arbitrary rules which do not
consider the ultimate purpose of the
subject-matter. or its ethical value
in its given place. is to fetter art so
completely that it is difficult for a
real seeker of truth to work in a
medium so bound by the petty
ideals of these monopolists of mor-
ality.” says ur. deuille. .
“Most of the wogld's classic liter-
store could nabsurvive their laws.
‘Anthony and Cleopatra' would
have to be changed by inserting a.
D“.

SNOB, GLORIA
SWANSON SAYS
She’s Shy and Fears
Ridicule, Declares
The Glorious Screen
Star—Her Story -
‘5‘
Gloria. Swanson has been called
the "most misunderstood woman on
the screen." She has been censured
for apparent snobbishness when in
reality she is just a shy. sensitive
girl wanting to be liked but fearful
of ridicule.
No doubt the glorious Gloria. has
been called a snob because of the
roles she plays. The public at. the
mention of her name instantly cou-
Jures up a vision of s. sensuous wo-
man with an elaborate coifleur and
exotic costumes. Yet away from the
studio she is just a slim. lovely girl
with sleek bobbed head. the dupli~
cute of whose gowns might be found
in the wardrobe of any small town
girl.
But would the film fans fight their
way into the theatre to see a pic-
ture in which she appeared as her-
self. Indeed no. ]:‘or the versatil-
ity of her personal appearance is as
great a. drawing card as the roles
which she plays.
0n the screen Gloria is usually the
center of attraction at some spectac-
ular party but the real Gloria sel-
dom goes to parties. Most of her
time away from the studio is spent
romping around on the {arm at Cro-
ton. N. Y.. with her little daughter.
Gloria. a green-eyed, tow headed
little Miss of two and her adopted
son.
Gloria's dressing room at the stu-
dio is a. cute little bungalow an-
chored Just off the set. It has a di-
munitlve luxuriousness inside and is
utterly charming.
When the interviewer met Miss
Swanson recently. she bad Just fin-
ished some scenes in her new picture
“Manhandled.” She wore a. yellow
evening gown and a. sea-green scari
was thrown over one shoulder.
“Somehow or the other I am at:-
cused of snobbishness." she said.
“But I am not. a snob. Snobblsh-
nose. to me, is a form of stupidity
and I flatter myself that I am not
stupid. My greatest trouble is sen-
sitiveness. More than anything else,
I'm afraid of ridicule. I'm afraid
that some one is going to hurt my
feelings; I try to overcome this
complex. or whatever it is. but it is
stronger than my will power, I'm
afraid. for I guess I don't succeed
very well. .
“I so to a big party. where many
of the guests are not personal ac-
quaintances of mine. I sit by myself
and wonder and worry. They're all;
so strange and I have n. trapped feel- A
It I were only a child-again. I l
ins.
could run away as I used to.
"The feeling comes over me that'
I've got to see this thing through.
I get worried and can't think of
anything to say. I feel that people
are whispering about me. saying
that I’m snobbish. that that is the
reason I keep to myself. If they
only knew that it is shyness and
sensitiveness and fear of ridicule
that keeps me from becoming what
is known as a 'good mixer.’
"So. I don't go to big affairs any
more. for I've decided not to let
myself in for any unnecessary suf-
fering. And that is the inside story
of how I came to be called a. snob."
Low Heels or High?

When Ned Wayburn famous au-
thority on stage dancing was ques-
tioned on the style of heels of girl
should wear had this to say:
"Low heels. by all means: it is
the high French heels‘ that do the
most damage. I am very much op-
posed to high heels. because a girl's
body should be held straight. like a
plumb line. When she wears high
heels her body is slanted~pitchcd

A complete city was erected on
Santa Catalina Island to house the
thousands of players. artists and
workmen used in the filming of
Frank Lloyd's gigantic spectacle,
"The Seadiawk.‘ ’taken from Rafael
Sabatini's novel.
This city. which came to be known
as Camp Lloyd. was forty miles from
the nearest source of supply and con-
sisted of one hundred and fifty big
tents, each equipped with electric
lights. bureaus. mirrors. make up
tables, hospital cots. beds. chairs and
blankets.
A moss hall accommodating 700
men was in charge of army commis-
sary chiefs and eighteen assistants.
An assembly hall ,with nightly or-
chestra concerts. radio. wrestling
matches and boxing bouts, supplied
entertainment. Make-up tents, bar-
ber shops. canteen and hospital tent.
wardrobe building. bath house. film
vault, and executive offices all wentu
to make the camera city complete in
itself.

players in this First National picture

Lloyd Hughes and Wallace Beery.
Build Four Ships.
Another stupendous task was the
building of tour ships of the six-
teenth century type. These had to
be seaworlhy‘and staunch enough to
clash in battle. Three shifts of
workmen. including carpenters. rig~
gers. caulkers, iron workers. fitters.
draughtsrnen and. painters. worked
ninety-three days and nights in the
construction. The boats ranged in
size from 102 to 192 feet long and
105 feet to the top mast. Each car~
ried from 100 to 450 sailors. fighting
men and galley slaves, and 50 cans
