If no they have minsed the point’ 6f most of her characterizations The “vampire” originally was a fabled beast, and the word properly ap- plied to man or womar creature—if such a human really exints. For contestants in the J. Parker Read, Ir Seattle Star $5,000 seonar’e prize competition, who are planning strong emotional roles for Louise Glaum, the screen star in the following article gives her view of the “vamp,” and tells also the types of women she likes to portray and why. BY LOUISE AUM Tam not a film vampire. Truly, I do not believe that very many people care to nee the sort of woman that the namo implies I shall never forget the first time that I was called upon to play a part of that type. I pleaded, cajoled and even.threntened to leave, but wns finally persuaded. Somehow or other many of those kinds of parts followed, but I always loathed them. However, I feel that of late the word “vampire” has been terribly mis used. For instance, the famous roles played by Bernhardt and Duse, to whom we all pay homage, were women who had lived and suffered and | were termed heavy emotional but never “vampire” parts Muman nature and life are the most interesting things tn the world, and I want to play the human woman, not the one who ts the result of someone's distorted imagination, I cannot be convinced that any one ts thoroly bad; somewhere, somehow the good can be found, Life is full of temptations, and if we fall we must pay, but thru our sufferings we become finer beings, and this is my desire in my future ple- | ures—to portray the woman with the soul, the real and not the false. ‘The women I portray are bad to start with, but there kind in real life—people who make a mix do wron for it. They are NOT vampires—women entirely bad, If a woman just makes a mistake uni ntionally should be condemned for it. That's what makes life changing, characters developing. ‘The term “vampire” may and should die, but heavy emotional roles, true to life, will never die—juat as little curly haired ingenues will never die first thing I knew about my being a “vamp” was when I read a aper notice one morning calling me “the peacock woman and a vam I didn't mind the “peacock woman” part of it, as I wore the first peacock gown on the screen, I think, and I love peacocks and have one for a pet. But I'm NOT “vamping” nowadays in the erroneous sense of the bad “vamp.” The characters I portray on the screen may be cold-blooded and selfish, but retribution comes and teaches a moral!
