Florence ‘Turner and many of the others, were, too, Wasn't Jack Richardson a handsome “heavy''? 1 just bet that a picture in which all the oldtimers were featured would help to bring them back. ‘Then they might be starred in separate features. Hope that 'The Star succeeds in gotting them back before the public MRS.
