FADING STARS
Once Mae Marsh was one of Hollywood's brightest stars. The, other day she appeared on the screen opals--in a tlay pert in a big film. What has happened to the other once-fomaus stars ?

HEN 20th Century Fox recently presented "Tho Robo" at Hollywood's greatest premiere in years, there were probably not 20 people in the audience -which included many of the surviving great 'dames, of early movies who recognised an actress in the film playing a '60-second scene with Victor Mature.
She is Mae Marah, star of the famous D. W. Grifth film, "The Birth of a Nation," and for years one of the biggest names of the silent pictures,
In "The Robe," Mae Marsh received no screen credit. Today she is doing bit parts at about £10 a day when she gets the work. She is

Another once-famous actress, Mae Clarke (20 years ago she was the heroine of countless movies) came into the news recently when she was given a suspended sen- tence for having forgotten to report earnings of 39 dollars (about 13), while drawing unemployment com- pensation. Today she plays bit parts in TV movies.
"Things have got me down once in a while," she says, "but I can face anything. The big drop from star to bit player is something I can accept philosophically," What about other great names of the silent movies, the survivors of Hollywood's lush and plush days?
Clara Bow, original "IT Girl," has been in a sana- torium at Santa Monica, California, for some years now. Married to former cowboy-actor Rex Bell, she is the mother of two sons, aged 19 and 15. She now Beeg no one but her family.
VAMP
Theda Bara, most famous "vamp" of the allent movies, lives quietly in Beverly Hills with her husband and former director, Liverpool-born Charles Brabin. She makes no public appearances, attends no premieres or social functions.
Recently, when a producer of TV filma wished to talk to her about a possible appearance, it was reported that she remained on one side of the screen, while her inter-
