Motion picture stardom should be made “safe for democracy.” Most
films today are trash. One reason is that there are too many so-called
movie stars—who aren’t—while others who might become real artists are
unable to break in. In America today there are only three feminine film
stars who are really stars. The rest are merely keeping out girls who have
a right to be there. A number who are advertised as stars might fill sec
ond parts very well.
But in all the United States there are only three stars worthy of the
name. The producers are to blame. They make so-called stars over
night—create them by force of advertising. Instead of selecting them
from among girls who are potential artists, it is the producer’s pet who
breaks into the movies today, not the girl with the real art in her.
The public is the goat. The motion picture today is the biggest joke
on earth. The public is starving for films worth while. They get very few.
