They have set this decade an example for their cinema subjects th=* has been $he talk of the village and the world. When they recently returned from an around-the-world tour they resumed their work of picture making, Mary Pickford choosing a somewhat different subject, which includes the full cycle of a human life—Spring, Summer and ‘Winter—and Doug Fairbanks announc- ing the making of a Western epic he had long wanted to do. ecently Douglas Fairbanks confided %0 the assembled press that he was leaving for a visit to London to attend some athletic events and .ee some plays from -which he might 3ossibly select a :e' picture. The Western epic has since been discarded by the king. And on the heels of this announce- ment and departure the village em- barks upon a flood of conjecture which circles about the possible abdication of their rulers and the breaking up of the colony into states. ‘Wiseacres scent in Douglas Fairbanks’ inability to decide upon a future pic- ture a reticence about making any more pictures at all. Rumor—that unquench- able thing—credits him with having fi:yed his last picture, and hints that future will be given over to golf and Badninton and travel. He may surprise them, but the occults of the village feel very psychic about all this. ‘Gayety about the royal castle has been taking on a more hectic flair of late than in the past. It is discussed with much head shaking that the king and queen no longer dance exclusively with each other, but gayly tread the light fantasti¢ with various persons. Mary Pickford was quite the belle of the ball at a recent jubilating and Doug ‘wandered about, visiting among the tables. This would not be a matter of note in any other city or any other eolony, but it is a departure from a Artists’ lot. Intimate friends of Mary Pickford have discussed the fact that the queen of movieland is restless and ennuied. ‘They g0 5o far as to hint that an inter- ruption of the unbroken companionship of 10 years is necessary to save To- mance intact. ‘They say she is completely bored with lclt:ru and picture making; that she e splendid brain whicl have seen her in the little-girl-with-the- curls- roles would never credit, is suf- fering from a temperamental Summer, so far as motion pictures are| - clusion concerned. It comes at the con of some 18 years before the cameras, and is not to be wondered at. Talkies gave her something new to think about, but it 1s a known thing that she was not unduly jmpressed with the results of her Shakespearean venture. Mary Pickford, the mn consort of Hollywood’s king, has 10 years of uninterrupted companionship—a terri- ble test of mutual devotion and a dan- gerous one. Being a wise woman, she possibly feels a vacation one from the other will but point out the beauty of Hollywood's greatest romance. Even the _seers and .seeresses who watch these h: through their perhaps distorted crystals and discuss them at random feel that this first separation of s will not end disastrously, despite ;mm- danger signals which' accompany t. ‘The village, they feel. will still have its king and queen, its castle, its loyal The king and queen may ma in the world, (Copyright, 1930.)
