July 29v-Juat a Uttla i publicity, Just a nippy little theat rical, newi item of the kind that press gents call the dog story, has grown to each size on Broadway that Florenz tiegeld. who - started the story, -Is rusfitng back from Paris to avert the bli&htins of his romance with Billle Jjurke, the one-time "darlins of Bro&d- ftyd - -' ' - . - f Eight years ago"fcisf eld won Blllle Burke and married her and their life together showed all the outward signs f felicity until Zlegrfeld started this little publicity story on its unfriendly tareer a coupW, of months back. itbout the time that Zlegfeld's fam ous musical comedy "Sally", began to Show a shrinkage in the vital region of fhr box office there came a rumor that MarHynn Miller, the wistful young S tar-of the show,: intended to marry Jack Pickford. Zeigfeld has bad thou sands of columns: of publicity in -his time and none of it ever hurt him before. Perhaps he meant what he paid about this match, but may be he iwas Just taking advantage of a situ ation which would get .his show and Miss Miller, the star, into print all over thfr country, which Is always goed for a show and all concernedtherewith. ! Any way Zlegfeld said that if Mari ynn married Jaek he would have to telose the show and thereby cancel tie? income of-$W00 a, week because lie thought the public wouldn't love her- any ' more. ' ' Jack Pickford has . peen up and down Broadway as much as BiUf Jones or the next man and Wasn't-given" the police any reason to pick; him up on sight, so people won dered what Zlegfeld had on his mind besides his twenty five dollar Parisian e!our. ,' Then- Zeigfeld explained that Pick- ford was "mixed up" in that slacker scandal at the New Tork headquarters fcf the; naval reserve during the war. v hen certain wealthy young - men bought funk, hole assignments ashore fcvhicb didn't even require them to wear the uniforms or sleep in hammocks or. crub and wash heir own dungarees, trhis was no news. Everybody recalled lhat Pickford made the squeal which S3? exposed his shipmates of . the good bhip Bitting Pretty.,! j To Jlarilynn this was not publicity, but persecution, and she wasn't at all Sy about seeing reporters In Boston here the show had moved for its health. MarHynn "said things". 1 Miss Burke, at her home In Tork llarbor, Maine, retorted with sugges- fUve references to certain nights of imerriment atf Miss Miller's home. JMarilyim " came , back with the broad jSnstnuauon that Zlegfeld was jealous ' of Pickford. She said Zieggy offered gher a diamond as big as a cobble stone, or almost that big, and enough pearls jto hang a circus fat woman. By this ftlme the ladies had the floor and Zieg- sfeld hadn't a1 chance. . I Any way he was in Paris and any fman' who thinks he can out talk two temperamental stars of the stage in a 'personal spat over their honey-dump-lin'g t the cable rate of 25 cents a (word is a candidate for the royal suite slarthe Cookoo cottage. So Ziegfeld is rushing home from Paris by the fastest available; trans portation, following up his cablegram to BtUis telling he "oould swear to CSod. there is nothing which you could take exception." , Mis Burke said she wouldn't affirm or deny or further -discuss a rumor that she would leave Zieggy and take her little daughter Patricia with her. All on account of a little publicity. MOVIES' POWER . . OF SUGGESTION (Continued From Pmga One) - fas&ndal break and heCs in the spotlight v at: -once. That's the way It is with I motion pictures. It's just the way , things are ; that's all. No one is to blame. But it s unfortunate. -, There is another angle to the ques tion from a : motion : picture point of view, too. That ts the custom in news- J paper offices of. referring to women of a certain type in scandal stories as "movie actresses',, when they are not movie acresses at 'all. This the writer in, the years he 'was working as a newspaper reporter did that "movie actress" and "chorus girl thing him self not realizing in ,the slightest the entire lack of good, not to mention the injustice. It was doing the theatrical profession, Fortunaely, many editors of news papers the average editor, it would appear jumps at an opportunity to print something helpful. That perhaps. is why so many editors ordered spe cial stories written about "The Old Nest" that motion picture of mother hood, 'which Rupert Hughes wrote, and wmcn uoiawyn produced.. - - fTteends and acquaintances still speak to the writer about- the effect "Xhe Old .Nest" had upon them, and how thejr went right to ' the, nearest telegraph office and shot a message home to their mothers. . And "The Old Nest" is only one of many motion pictures that have, in the guise of stirring drama, slipped over a sermon on the public. Hushes has another one coming-now called "Re membrance? in which fatherhood is the tfleme. -. : .Nowhere, probably, is Virtue an trt umphant, honor - so nobly cherished. ana miu bo ceruin to prevail as in the wmte magic or the silver sheet. .-4 ' m If there is any great power of sug gestion in motion pictures, all the evi denceseems to be that the good greatrv outweighs the bad.
