Avoid Dupli Advice to Scenario Writers" Scenario Editor, Seattle Star Please print something regard in Miss Glaum—her personality, type sho is best fitted for, ete, EDWIN GORGES, The above request comes to t Scenario Editor from an entrant the J. Parker, Jr. Read- Seattle St 95,000 scenario contest. Au right, Edwin, Let's go. Miss Glaum is more of a bri nette than a blonde, with brown halr and hazel eyes, She is 6 feet & inche and weighs 130 pounds, How ever, her type of beauty is more « less exotic, and she can play Spanish or any Latin type, or even Orienta or Egyptian roles, if necessary, Any typical American character can be portrayed by her with utmost sin cerity and finesse. Miss Glaum speaks ip a low, musical voice, both off and on the set. INTENSELY HUMAN She is intensely human and wom anly, in spite of the numerous vam pire roles she haa been called upor fo play during her sereen career. In “Sex,” one of her screen plc tures, Mise Glaum was cast as 6 more or leas workdly and blase wom- an, whose morals would not always be commended by church-going peo ple. She was placed in rich and colorful wurroundings, and her part demanded that she wear lavish, and in many instances, extreme styles in clothes. The plot designated that she carry on an affair with another woman's husband, while in the the meantime sh¢é was engaged in teaching a more unsophisticated girl some of the evils practiced by her set. As time went on, Miss Glaum, as a home wreeker, succeeded in her work admirably, considered from the standpoint of the character she portrayed. But one day she fell in love. And them she married and | subsequently became extremely joal, | ous, In later;months the girl who had earlier worshiped at her shrine came back Into her life and carried on an affair with her own husband The moral taught im the play fh that “the way of the transgreasor is hard.” There is much of the Muman element in the characters and the lavish settings appeal to the eye Highly dramatic sequences and scents were developed and, taken all in all, the play has proven one of Miss Glaum’s most successful star ring vehicles.
