"Yes, I like Boston audiences very, very much," replied Florence Vidor, who is now playing with "Sea-Horses" at the Washington Street Olympia to the initial query of the CRIMSON reporter who was interviewing her yesterday after the afternoon performance. "I find them so demonstrative, especially in the wrong places. But this three a day it is wearing."
Questioned concerning the film in which she stars with Jack Holt, the stately beauty merely smiled. "The storm is rather nauseating, especially the third time. Though it is not a real typhoon. And Jack is such a dear. He has dignity, real dignity. But for verve, spirit, give me Adolph any time. Wasn't he just wonderful? No. I didn't really ever get into the bath. Yes it was furnished by the Crane company--and Adolph says such funny things--"But I have never had the role I want."
Breathless the CRIMSON representative suggested Mary, Queen of Scots, Lady Macbeth, Lillie Kupps, all the great figures of histrionc history. She looked disdainful. "I have wanted"--here her lustrous eyes maintained their Tustre--"I have always wanted to play Cinderella--and Betty Bronson has that cinched." The reporter manipulated a sympatic handkerchief. "To be Cinderella--even in Boston on Washington Street--that would be something." The reporter acquiesced; after all it would be something. But he had another thought.
"Miss Vidor, Florence,--do you think college men have a place in the movies?" The artist of the moving moods pondered six minutes -- and then thought entered her intriguing head.
"Yes," she replied, "I do. Without university influence the cinema is doomed."
"But where, when, how?" The reporter was insistent.
"Oh! I prefer them in the balcony", was her laconic reply.
