MARY PICKFORD ‘BUYS UP' ALL HEROLDFILMS 'Soon Be Old-Fashioned/ She Says, Ordering Them to Be Destroyed. By Times Special NEW YORK. April 24.—When Mary Pickford dies, her Aims will die with her. Already she is buying up her old pictures for the purpose of destroying them. She doesn’t want to be remembered by them. The little film star, now facing forty, tells about her decision in an exceptionally frank interview published in this month’s Photoplay Magazine, in the course of which she even touches on the recurring rumors that all is not well between herself and Douglas Fairbanks, her husband. Films Die With Her “I am adding a codicil to my will,*’ she says, “which provides that when I go my films go with me. They are to be destroyed. I would rather be a beautiful illusion in the minds of people than a horrible example in celluloid. I pleased my own generation. That is all that matters. “Pictures have progressed. My pictures soon will be old-fashioned. It is marvelous for me to remember Daddy Long Legs.’ I do not want to see it. I am more happy in the memory of it than I was in the success of it.’* “Not now” is what she has to say about the possibility of separation between Doug and herself. “We are two normal human beings who like each other very much,” she explains. “In six months or six years, how can I say, in this peculiar, shifting weird nightmare of a world, what will happen? I can not deny that there may be a separation. I can only say there is none now. Just a vacation. Has Enough Money “I haven’t half as much money as people credit to me. But I have enough to live comfortably. Conservatively, I have lost two millions that I might have saved on productions. That is conservative. “I am spending more money today. I am buying more expensive clothes. I am taking pleasure in being smartly dressed. Life is very short. Why shouldn't I spend ar.d enjoy now that I have earned it?” Under her contract with United Artists, Miss Pickford says in Photoplay, she must do one more picture. Whether she makes any more is problematical. She would rather retire than make a bad one, 6he says.
