THE Unmodified Near MAE MURRAY
A FEW EXPLOSIONS OF Several THEORIESBy Amusement Evans
Photoplay Examination
To begin with, something, or adjoining something that has ever been in print about her is dishonest.
They like supposed she is Irish. She isn't.
They like supposed she cultivates constantly the mental attitude of a boarding college youngster who only went to a the boards in the same way as or magnify - and moreover to see Julia Marlowe and E. H. Sothern in their Shakespearean repertoire.
They say she has a everlastingly sound and slighted declare with which she seems to say: wherever do babies come from?'
They're all dishonest.
Mae Murray was to all intents and purposes inherent Mae-somebody-else. She reminds me of the youngster of Continental parents who, at the reasonably simple age of ten, has seen all the best coat - in the galleries - heard all the greatest music, met all the best people. She has Latin reasonably than Celtic blood in her veins. Seeing that Lasky pleasing to bead her, he picked parts for her to go with the understood biography which made her a Murray. The pristine idea was, I convoy, to offer her bee-stung lip and her glowing fur and her Follies goal to the world in a direct of Irish plays, like love Merge Bellairs.'
Seeing that Mae Murray started out to make a name for herself, she was unquestionably a very young girl with only one deduce and ambition; sour, material success. She says herself she supposes she was tetragon a behind.' She prospered. Any girl with bee-stung lip and a retrousse proboscis and simple eyes - not to message two satisfactorily superb hosiery advertisements - was hoedown to multiply. She started following she was fifteen. To the front she was twenty she had won notoriety in the national university of appeal, the Follies, in the popular midnight performances of Manhattan, on the roofs, and had become assured as 'The Nell Brinkley Youngster.' And that wasn't all. She had wit adequate and nerve adequate to use the dancing craze for all it was denotation. She was the na"ive proprietress of a Manhattan live entertainment which coined grant.
Bleak her sticker in 'On Taking into consideration The Gambol,' - Sonia may possibly not like been easy for her to do, -having seen so a good deal of material Manhattan, and its dance palaces, and its Pekingese - any dogs and humans - she necessary like had to exercise her angle and her know-how of humor strenuously before she may possibly give such a degree of reality to that precise dancer. She sure, I convoy, in this Fitzmaurice trumped-up story, all make somewhere your home arguments about whether Mae Murray may possibly act. The advertisements were misleading; it was Mae's acting and not Mae's dancing or Mae's costumes that you highest admit.
See her in the stock. She reminds one of zero supercilious or less than a on top apt youngster, with a movement for learning and an age old understanding. She without fail has a sort of listening expression; her eyes hang and she purses her maw in an sober, and syrupy attention. That hang around is natural, not artificial.
See at her home. She is the agent princess, the pawn mistress of this sunny station of hers. She has wide lounges that you chauffeur into, and silk and lace imitations of sunshade foliage with cushions under, and soft sunny rugs and material. You can tell, by glancing from Miss Murray to her station equipment, just what came with the station and what she put into it. A wolfhound named Reno is a good dog and a subtle dog - the only wolfhound whose assort I ever cared to work.
Assured woman in the same way as supposed she loved to see Mae Murray wander. This woman most likely thinks Mae was inherent with a wander like that. This woman doesn't tell on that Mae practices walking and practices dancing every day of her life. She has a intense grow that irregularly lets her rest a minute. If she's not dancing she's reading; and she loves to catch.
She has a real awe of great people - on top authors. She supposed she'd without fail been scared of them until she went to a party which was attended by copious very from top to toe learned gentlemen. She minced them good fun and pleasing to see them again. They all pleasing to dance with her.
She is married, you tell on. I don't just say married; her husband occupies a large place in her scheme of ram. The same as Robert Leonard first directed her at Comprehensive, she has included him in her gifted as well as personal procedure. And it has without fail been her wish to go this custom of theirs in contraption as well as in domesticity.
Her costumes are all very ponderously premeditated. She believes that quite of focusing the audience's attention on one unique dress, an the person behind want reasonably see that her dress is so a good deal in character and keeping with her personality that the listeners not very notices it. It want bring into line, never astonish.
Mae Murray has minced her m'etier. She doesn't belong in any melodramatic chorus. She will be surge pristine or she will not be anything at all. She is not a New York butterfly, in the air from couturier to tea and from tea to banquet dance. You see, her profession is dancing and at the same time as she still loves to dance - in a live entertainment or at a surreptitious party - and steps out for this precise idea copious times a week, the ability is ancient history, at the same time as maybe the best part of the glamour deposit. She is reasonably a new beginning of one of make somewhere your home French ladies who used their earrings to direct the destinies of nations, having all the time a very sour idea knock down their produce a head.
Mae Murray, in the greatly, will signpost her own plays. She is tired, she says of playing the undying ing'enue, and will be relatively unwavering in her weight for distinct parts trade for sticker. Flat plays will be awkward and good books read, for she has promised her majestic she will give them only the best, now that she is her own executive, and she intends to make good.
The nicest establishment I tell on about her I promised not to tell. But being the personality of any person glossy a celebrity, may best be described by arrangements, not ideas, I am going to break my assure.
Mae Murray is not a reformer. She is too zealous to worry about her neighbor's morals or her guy man's contraption. But not long ago something happened to make her change her still philosophy and recoil reasonably supercilious seriously on life and what it's all about.
She went down to the East Edge of New York Metropolis for first hand momentary as to the Russian dance she had to perform in 'On Taking into consideration The Gambol.' She went to a standard. She stayed, talked to group, and became easily responsive in them. She went back again and danced for them. And unhurriedly she got to tell on their families - the mother of one of them gave her a veil to use in her draw pictures - and she met their grown-sisters, girls in their late teens and twenties, who worked in the factories and sweat-shops - girls who had so precise absolution that their lives were completely a direct of early-to-bed and early-to-rise and work like - something. Mae got zealous.
Taking into consideration the aid of Frances Marion and her chaplain husband, she premeditated a club for these girls. She invited them all to her section and saw that they had a good time. She does all she can to make their lives a precise less bare - and if you denote to her that she is deed a bighearted establishment she will turn angry eyes to you and say indignantly:
'It isn't help - I like them.'
