CLOSE-UPS of the

They Don't Want Ego in the Movies
milERE'S an odd thing about thjs business of going nround Interviewing people
X for a newspaper. After years of It you get to hate an appointment where
tho victim knows he 1) going to be Interviewed. lie usually lias the Mage all
et to make a proper Impression through you on your readers, and the stuff he
tells you Is always well rehearsed and not a bit true to his real character.
It's only when ou get to know a man pretty well personally and have
Opportunities to chat Informally with him. with no thought of the typewriter
and the printing press in his mind, that you get to the real man and find out
what your readers-want to know.
All of which heavy thinklnc was caused yesterday when I was putting away
eme accumulated photographs and came ncrofs one of Ralph Graves.
You know Ralph Graves. You know hlui mostly as the hero If you could
91II It a hero part In Griffith's "Dream Street." He was the tough brother who
foes through a process of soul regeneration in his love for the little dancing girl.
And, If you'll recall that scene where he rUcs In a hot fury to thrash his
fcakllng brother, and suddenly, at the memory of their mother, changes a wicked
tipper-cut from a punch to a caress, throwing the arm about the brother's neck
and hugging him In a touching surge of love and protection if you'll rcaall that
:cne. you'll admit that Grmcs is a real actor.
Iut he won't admit it himself. Gradually, as you get to know him better
ff Rge, you pick up bits of his life and his philosophy that arc illuminating
ectnjntaric3 on the things that advance or retard a man in the moving-picture
bc&irrss.
i . .
AXD he has come to one conclusion that every aspirant to movie
A fame would do well to paste up on the mirror. It amounts to this:
You need not hope for success on the screen as long as you think you
are good and try to impress your superiority on other people. You
must first get rid of your ego; you must realise that this new art is
bigger than you will ever be.
Y RAVES was born twenty-two years ago In Cleveland. His father was a
VI wealthy tecl manufacturer, and Ralph grew up with the idea that he him
self was considerably better than most people whom he met. He will tell you
this with an amused and somewhat contemptuous smile. Yes; he thought he
was pretty good.
He wouldn't go to college, as his father wanted him to do. He thought he
as so handsome and so clever that all be hnd to do was to show himself in a
Biovlng-picturc studio and directors would simply fall over themselves trying to
get him to sign contracts.
So he broke with his family and went to Chicago.
Even after many weeks doing nothing he didn't realize that he was too
much "up stage" in his methods of applying for jobs. He does realize it now,
and he loves to tell of the ridiculous figure he must have cut in those dnys "a
cheap actor," as he calls himself, with all the airs of the president of the
company.
He managed to get a job with Eenny at " n day, and saved enough
to take him to New York. He had concluded that movie people in Chicago
didn't know a good thing when they saw it. The New York directors would.
But he found what so many young would-be actorines find as soon as he
hove In slsht. all the stars, fearing he would supplant them In public favor,
banded together and put the sign of the double cross on him. It must have been
Borne such sort of deep laid plot. Anbow, he was always too tall or too short or
too light or too dark or too something.
And he couldn't get a job.
Then followed fourteen weeks broke. He lived In a cheap boarding house.
'I used to put the bathroom rug on my landlady's sewing table to press my
-collars," he told me once In a reminiscent mood.
BUT the ego of youth dies hard. Fourteen weeks of neglect and failure
didn't show him that there was anything wrong icith himself. It
only proved what he had suspected that the moving-picture business is
in the hands of a lot of duds and dummies icho hold their jobs through
pull and not through merit.
You'll agree icith him, won't you you disappointed young aspirants
I tcAo have tried to get in and failed?
FINALLY Graves became desperate. He decided to act like an ordinary
mortal. "So he went to the World studios, and instead of posing as the presi
dent of the concern, he said; "For heaven's ;ake, give mo a job. I'm broke.
I've bee!! bluffing so far and telling you how good I was. Hut I'm not. 1'ut
me to work, will you?"
And they did. As he progressed and got to small parts, his old good opinion
of himself roe again to the surface and ho began to swagger. You've seen that
swagger In "Dream Street" as the tough guy of the neighborhood. He says he
actually used to go around the studio almost that way.
; ''I was a fresh kid," he says, "and I certainly did have a good opinion of
myself."
One day he saw Maurice Tourncur watchiijg him closely. Can you Imagine
a kid being so full of ego that he didn't realize what that meant from a director
as big as Tourneur? Graves didn't. He resented the stare.
"Who is that person over there?" he demanded so loudly that the great
man heard him.
"Hush nil!" some one warned. "That's Tourncur."
"Yes?" Graves queried, very much up-stage, "and who the so-and-so is
ibis Tourncur?"
! Tourneur heard him and laughed. Which shows what a really big man
Tourneur is. He went ocr to Graves.
' "Do you really think you can act?" he asked kindly.
And Graves was wise enough then to get his perspective.
"No," he admitted humbly. "Rut I'd like to have a chance to try."
? And Tourncur gave him the chance. He gave the boy a big part with
Constance Blnney in "Sporting Life."
DVT Oraves wants to give you young aspirants one bit of advice.
Don't eipeet to find a Maurice Tourneur to overlook your flam
buoyant eao. You won't meet his kind often.
...
THIS led Graves to the West Coast and a good contract with Universal. "I
thought I was cheating them to take It," he says. Which shows that the
lesson learned from Tourneur was sinking In.
But only for a while. His graud manner soon came back. He decided he
would give Griffith the great privilege of signing him on. So be put on his ice
cream clothes "You know how a kid would do," he explained and went to
see the director.
"Griffith came up to speak to me." he said, "but I was looking In a mirror.
Griffith turned on his heel and walked out. Then I got wise to myself and
relaxed but he was gone.
He wasn't entirely gone, though, as Graves found out later. The director
had gone outside and was looking at the boy through a window. And he saw
him relax.
"But he knew I was too much stuck on myself at that time," Fays Graves,
''and he didn't sign me."
Later, Griffith saw "Sporting Life" and sent for Graves. And then began
the. long process of the total elimination of the ego.
Naturally, there followed offers of starring contracts, and the boy hegan to
think again that he was pretty good. He thought he would hold tliec contracts
over Griffith's head to force better terms. He wired Griffith about them.
"I have nothing to do with your future," came the answer. "If you think
best, accept offers."
...
1 A'D right here, the (haves ego rcreited its deathblow, lie saw him-
self as he was. lie knew he could do nothing with bluff. He went
right to Griffith and made a ilcnn breast of it.
, "I'd rather be icith you and get your tiaining than star with the
lest of them," he said.
And, m telling me about it not long ago, he added:
"Right there, Griffith started work on one of the world's worst
actors (I was so bad that I couldn't loosen up a bit) and he first tauqht
me humility in the face of a great art. Then he taught me to control
mi nerves. Anything I hate learned about netmg, I have vn neatly
stolen from that quiet gentleman ovir there in the blue suit (pointing to
t Griffith, who was wandering about the studio) and, in the three years
I have been with htm, I haie never once heard him taise his voice nor
have I seen him when he was not able to smile.
"His name shouldn't be David Work Griffith. It should be David
Work."

Typical Chorus Girls In New Film
There nre more pretty glrhi around
the Lasky lot these days than you
tould find in n month of Sundays. They
arc all working in tho chorus of the
muslcnl comedy show which is one of
the features of William Do Mllle's pro
duction. "The Stage Door," by Rita
Wciman.
This Is How the Story Begins:
fJELLA MORELAXD, most famous
of screen stars, hears that a
young girl, Annette ll'ilfeinsoti, has
fallen in love with Roland Welles, an
idol of the screen. Miss Morcland,
to save Annette, writes the story of
her own tragio love affair with
Welles, intending to send t to
Annette so she may know the kind
of man he is.
She tells how, while a pianist in
a movie theatre in a Western Penn
sylvania town, she met "Welles when
he made a ''personal appearance"
there, how he invited her to come to
New York and said he would place
her in the movies, how she came and
the chilly reception which he gave her
in the studio. Then, becoming inter
ested in her, he gets her a job in a
small town stock company for the
experience, promising to see her
often,
Tho manager insults her and she
leaves, finally getting into pictures
in New York. Here she works with
Welles. He makes love to her, pro
poses and she is deliriously happy
until another woman reveals Welles'
perfidy. Then she quits him and the
company.

I was slipping to her feet, clutching it
