you absolutely no information con-
corning her.
You will ask: What has all this to
do with the fame and fortune which
on Christmas morning she found
sticking in her stocking?
Well, it was not so long ago that
David Belasco, New York's astute and
artistic dramatic director, in search
Of new star, visited moving pic
ture show. There he saw Miss Pick.
ford in a thrilling civil war drama
in which she enacted a girl of the
confederacy. II was a photo-drama OF
fire, smoke and battle, with the hero
inc shooting and riding hard in many
situations-one in which with hel
wounded lover she is besieged in a
bullet battered house and fights bach
with gun and revolver. protecting the
youth who is so sorely wounded anG
weak that he cannot pull a trigger
The play gave a wide emotional op
portunity to the young actress, and
! she made the bes. possible use of it
Belasco was impressed and came e
| the conclusion that she was worth
! looking up.
! He did look her up and came to the
conclusion to which her many thou
sands of admirers came long ago. The
result OF his investigation was con
ference; the result of the conference
was an understanding; the result o
| the understanding a contract, which
came to Miss PicRford just at Christ
mas time.
And now little Miss Pickford is t.
be nameless to her admirers no more
She will be seen in a Broadway thea
ire early in January, where she will
play leading part in THE Good Lit

long before her name will blaze iron
