      „PEGGY HOPKINS JOYCE has arrived in Hollywood

to begin work on her first picture, The Skyrocket, which Marshall

Neilan is to direct.

      And there has been a bit of a controversy over Peggy‘s

entrance into the films.

      Some people do say that Mickey Neilan got Peggy

Hopkins Joyce only because her reputation as a heart-smasher

is such that every woman in the country will want to see

her. Certainly Peggy has had more men crazy about her than

any one woman has a right to have – millionaires,

titles, beauty connoisseurs and so forth, not to mention

Charlie Chaplin.

      And such people say that Peggy shouldn‘t be given

a star part in a film just because she‘s the world‘s

most successful vamp.

      Mickey Neilan says he chose Peggy Hopkins Joyce to play

The Skyrocket, because she was the woman he saw

as the heroine when he read the book. He says the story

in many ways is close to her own life, and that he can

make her act it as no screen actress he knows could do it.

He says that he‘s out to prove it by the picture

he‘s going to make.

      So  there seems no way to settle the argument but to wait

and see the very famous Peggy Hopkins Joyce in the rôle.“
