Matt Moore and
Marjorie Daw In
"Don't Ever Marry"
Matt Moore, tthe ex-brother-in-law
pf Mary Pkkford' and Alice
Joyce, and Marjorie Paw; brides
maid at Mary's recent marriage to
Douglas Fairbanks, arc . starred to
gether at the Rialto this week in
"Don't Ever Marry.'5 ,
And at the same time folks are
still wondering about the lovely
Mary and why she couldn't be happy
with Owen Moore.
Matt Moore was asked the .other
day out in California why so many
marriages of movie stars are fail
ures. "It may sound queer," said Mr.
Moore, "but I really haven't aVord
of censure for any one of my broth
ers or any one of my sisttrs-in-law.
That thev could not he haDDV is the
4ault of their profession. Actresses
and actors have married outside the
profession and have been happy, but
in the profession the chances are
small. ' ..
"The attraction usually comes
through the acting of the individual
and is (too ideal. I mean that an
actress sees a leading man expound
ing the highest ideals, of love in a
studio and believes that this is the
man . himself.
"Enforced separation, ... too, fs a
great factor, and if stars stay to
gether one or the other must take
an inferior roje."
