	Barthelmess had a large female following during the 1920s. An admirer wrote to the editor of ''Picture-Play Magazine'' in 1921:<blockquote>Different fans have different opinions, and although [[Wallace Reid]], [[Thomas Meighan]], and [[Niles Welch]] are mighty fine chaps, I think that Richard Barthelmess beats them all. Dick is getting more and more popular every day, and why? Because his wonderful black hair and soulful eyes are enough to make any young girl adore him. The first play I saw Dick in was ''Boots''—[[Dorothy Gish]] playing the lead. This play impressed me so that I went to see every play in which he appeared—''[[Three Men and a Girl]],'' ''[[Scarlet Days]],'' ''[[The Love Flower]],'' and ''[[Broken Blossoms]],'' in which I decided that Dick was my favorite. I am looking forward to ''[[Way Down East]]'' as being a great success, because I know Dick will play a good part.<ref>G. C. (1921).
