„Several casting directors should resign“
Editorial content. „The Three Gamblers
And such gamblers as Hollywood has never seen before
By Jim Tully
IT is a true tale they tell in Hollywood when the sun is down
and the lights are low. It concerns a young Austrian
director with a streak of genius who made a picture called
The Salvation Hunters for forty-five hundred dollars
that bids fair to be the sensation of the year. It also concerns
a young English actor named George Arthur who
plays in pictures as a vocation, but who proved himself
a financial wizard by avocation. He it was who
raised the forty-five hundred dollars. It also concerns Douglas
Fairbanks, as a patron of the arts.“ (...)
„The Austrian looked about and found a young woman
to play the lead. She had been an extra girl, one
of those footsore and high-hearted and beautiful young

Her name was Georgia Hale. And she is a very great actress.
She has the beginning and the end of acting at her
finger tips. She does not act at all. She has poise, beauty,
a subdued something, a pathos, that divine flair
that one either has or has not, that evanescent thing known
by the hackneyed word called Soul.
I watched her work in the picture. Charlie Chaplin and
the wife of a director sat near me. The director‘s wife
said to me, ,She reminds me of Betty Compson.‘ Me rejoinder
was, ,She‘s a thousand times greater than Betty
Compson.‘ Chaplin overheard and said, ,Yes, yes, she‘s very
much greater.‘
Several casting directors should resign when they are
given the opportunity of seeing Miss Hale‘s work.“ (...)
