, WHAT! NO ADVENTURE?
" A little 36-foot sailing sloop slipped into New York harbor
the other'day after'more than a month at sea. It came from
France, a,nd its sole occupant was a young painter, one Marin
Marie Purand-Couppel.
When this venturesome youth was asked to' tell of the
thrills' of his single-handed crossing of the Atlantic, he re
plied flatly that there Hadn't been any.
.. "Tjiere were some difficult head winds and I was happy
to arrive in the bay," h said. "What hapened? A storm,
.ftfnd. Waves. I lost a jib'. But I cannot excite yoifwilh
words. When one has been to sea many times, 6ne either has
bad1 weather or good weather, and the' excitement comes only
when one has never seen either good weather or bad weather
before," ' :.
; Now in all of the fine frenzy of words' with which we
Jnndsmen like to talk about ''the sea," as if it were at mystic
arid forbidden realm on which romance etemally (rides the
horizon, this matter-of-fact little statement seems to come'
about as close' to giving the real essence of things as anyone
could, 1
For a great deal of expensive', language' has. been used to
tell about the wonder and mystery of the sea, but very little
of it, has actually been used by sailors. The "romance" of
sea-faring it generally something that sailors know very
iitile aboiii; and even when they know about it they dont
talk abolit it much. ' ;.''
' , This lad makes a trip which, to most of us stay-atrhomes;
seefris like the very essence of pure adventure and he disi
roises it in a paragraph. What did he see? Wind and waves','
sometimes turbulent, and a storm that destroyed his jl)V:
Nothing more; or, at any rate, nothing that he can talk"
nbou- , !.! ti ;:. tmii-
Arid that is the way it usually is with all of the callings
that we look on as glamorous. The men Who actually folloj
thetn can find in them nothing worth tolling about afterward.:
The fine writing comtis from people who stay at home and get
their thrills oilt of their own imaginations.

'The aeparaU on." she aaya, dismis
sing that subjecti "would have come
anyway, and It bu nothing, to do
witn my determination to nave a new
career la pictures. Mr. Webb and I
climbed far together, and I dont
regain It. But now I want to go out
alone, and make my way absolutely
on my own."
Clinging Vine Heroine
In silent pictures the- blond actress
played many a "dinging vine' hero
ine, and looking backward Esther pro
fesses to see a parallel there to her
real life role.
. "Always before," she says. "I list?
ened too much, never thought for
myself. I never went on a set with
out worrying about my halrt my
make-up. how I was to do the scene.
I- wanted to please everybody, and I
listened1 to everybody."
Confidence gained through recent
experiences in vaudeville with the
constant necessity of- meeting emer
gencies before audiences helped to
instill seil-reiiance. she explains.
Hue's Confident Now-
"Oa the picture I've Juet finished
I thought only about acting, and I
think I've learned a. lot about that.
It didn't matter if my hair waa out
of place, if the make-up had melted
from my chinj I, knew how I was go-
ing to play, each role. I have con
fidence In myself now, and no thing
on mm earui can nom me oacjc."
Tnia. uttered earnestly to. the ac
companiment of flashing blue eyes,
doesnt sound like the mild Esther
Hollywood used to know, so perhaps
mere reauy is a "new Esther Ral-'-ston.
' - fc
"I don't care for mpneyJ' Esther
declares, "or for diamonds, or a big
house with a pool I ve had all
those, and all; I want now is to
work!"
And already she - has had offers
enough to gratify, that desire.
