PLAYERS’ TRIBUTE TO BETTY FIELD
With, only four pictures to her credit, Betty Field today is being paid the highest compliment one screen actress can give to another. No other feminine player of comparable qualifications wants to work with her. This might seem to indicate that Betty is not liked, but the contrary is true. She is liked too much, and it is only rarely that an actress is so honoured. Screen opportunities, hard won in the first place, are guarded jealously. Players pick and chose roles with an eye to every possibility in the script. Who else will be in it? What kind of
part? What is the luve interest—the key scenes —the fadeout? There are dozens of similar questions, all carefully examined and the answers weighed, and the answer so far as Miss Field is concerned, is that she is entirely too good. No one wants to attempt to compete with her for screen honours.
