June 1923 – Commediane Has Never Seen Valentino

Consider this, if you will Louise Fazenda has never seen a Valentino motion picture.  She just hasn’t got around to it says Louise, but she hopes to soon.  Louis has the most interesting story on meeting Gloria Swanson when they were working together on the Mack Sennett Lot. She saw Gloria the other day, for the first time and did not recognize her.  Louise was having lunch with two books on her lap, one was a Schnitzler tale and the other was by D.H. Lawrence. If it jars your sense of the eternal fitness of things to think of Comedienne Fazenda reading Schnitzler remember there are stranger incongruities that that in filmland. We’ll be finding out next, perhaps, that it is Bull Montana’s secret ambition to play Peter Pan.
