STORIES OF KINEMA
STARS.
The history of a new and-sudden- element in human amusement and his own considerable part in it is. told by Mr. Samuel Goldwyn, the kinema magnate, very entertaining- lyin "Behind the Screen," which is published by Grant Richards, 105. 6d.

He tells us that it was only something more than nine years that I walked into a little motion- picture theatre on Broadway," pay- ing ten cents (5d) admission. At that time he was merely a gloves salesman, pulling in £3,000 a year.
When I went into that theatre Ihad no idea of going into the film business. When I went out I was glowing with the sudden realisation of my way to fortune. Apart from 'bis__drollery—his. quick response to the moment, his happy, boyish snille, Charlle Chaplin "makes another appeal."
The first time I saw him I felt sorry for him. The humour of it, that I should want to help him this young, charming Fortunatus-struck me almost at once. But I could not help it. Afterwards I found that nearly everyone else shares this feeling. This pathos of his comes from an enduring isolation. He is, "and I think always will be, a
lonely figure..
Pola Negri, on being congratu-
·lated on looking "very charming
in Bella Donda, replied:
I know I am charming. I con- sider my work great, as I am a great artist.
Mr. Goldwyn adds. regarding the Pola Negri-Charlie Chaplin
romance:
"A great many people have asked me if I think they will marry, Judging the depths of a woman's feelings and her in- tentions from the way she acts, which, of course, is not an easy thing to do. I believe Miss Negri inte ds to marry Charlie. While Chaplin, does not admit that he is in love, I have never seen a man só devoted to a woman as he is to Pola. In fact, I think she is the one woman who has interested him completely.. Jackie Coogannow earning £100,000 annually and not years old is very loyal to his famous co-star in "The Kid .”

Asked who was the greatest] living actor, Charlie Chaplin, of course," he retorted. And who is the second greatest? persisted his interviewer "Jackis Coogun," he answered. And the third?
Oh," said he, obviously somewhat impatient with the doggedness of this research, "I have told you the two greatest. What does it matter about the third ?**
