Norma Shearer in The Devil’s Circus (1926)
"But how can you compare Harlow and Garbo, Swanson and Shearer, or Gable and Tracy with any luminary today? Maybe it's just an old timer's sentiment. But today's faces lack depth of feeling. Two world wars and many minor ones have almost changed the face of the globe itself. Why not our actors? As I watch on television many of the stars I once photographed, I look at them as one might old paintings. Some can't stand up to today's demanding audience; others will be as magnetic a hundred years from now. I am sure the Mona Lisa and the face of Greta Garbo will inspire and puzzle for all time." —Clarence Sinclair Bull, photographer
