Movie Cheers for Churchill
NEW YORK.
MY SECRETARY. AFRICA.
SPEAKS: Dear Boas: In those
early days when you gained en
trance to the Port Chester nick
elodeon for five cents, the reign
ing king of the movies was cow
boy hero William S. Hart; the
queens of the movies were Pearl
White, Mabel Nonnand. Mary
Pickford and Theda Bara. Os
these femme stars, Mary was
beguilingly sweet. Pearl had no
equal in adventure series, Mabel
was delightful hoyden and Theda
was a slinky siren. Long before
Cecil B. DeMille discovered Cleo
patra, Theda had claimed her
for her own. And now Theda has
died at 64, reminding some of us
that as our memories grow
longer and movies grow better,
we also grow 01der.... The Louis
Jourdans named her Dominique.
... Red Kelly, Detroit Red Wings
star, will wed an ice show eyeful.
