Correct!
Every night at least ten million
people say, Hello, Mary across
the footlights of the moYing-picture
theaters- out of the ten million
people, at. least three million are girls,
who, in their heart of hearts, are
wishing they could be popular NOV
ing-picture actresses and wondering
how in the world they can break
in and what they would have to do
to be successful if they did.
So many, letters have come to the
Day Book that 1 was assigned to
cross the country to Los Angeles and
ask the little actress to tell her secret
to her many aspiring friends and adj
mirers.
What must a young woman have,
and what must she acquire to be
successful movie actress" I asked
her, among other things. And Miss
PickfOrd told me. She, however,
being modest, has neglected to say
that the woman who is a successful
movie actress must nave, uTSC, DOM
pOise and beauty.

pretty on the screen as you are Off?'
Her beautiful hazel eyes were lifted
with an expression that was heIf sur
prise and half gratitude, for Mary
Pickford has no self-cOnsciOusness,
nor vanity.
She does not look over eighteen
years of age. In her little black vel |

in front, and tiny streamers behind, !
she reminds me in some way of that /

MARY PICKFORD, MOST POPULAR GIRL IN THE
WORLD, TELLS OWN STORY OF HER LIFE

- i YIN vi 4LLILA LII IL
OFF the screen Mary Pickford d.
vests herself Of the Mary Pickford
curls which she has made the fashion
for all the girls on the Pacific coast.
She ties them up in a simple knot
behind, but some of them escape and
float about her face in picturesque
disorder. She has the manner and
simplicity of a child, and yet speaks
with the philosophical directness of a
woman of forty.
In fact, she is but twenty years old.
She has the deicately pointed handof
the artist, but walks with a decisive
step, which, if extremely graceful,
shows energy, determination, and,
above all, the perfect poise, which I
found to be, perhaps, her most fas-
cinating asset.
Mary Pickford, you viii see by
this description, is rather, a contra
dictory character
Her voice, which her numerous adj
mirers have never heard, has a soft,
sweet, childish quality. tits not very
strong, but expresses in information
every flicker of emotion that passes
across her speaking face.
More than any other actress, she
reminds me Of Sarah Bemhardt, and
although Bernhardt is old enough to
be her great grandmother, yet Miss
Pickford shows the same Wondrous
vitality in the same delicate body,
and she has the same enthusiasm in
life and living that have always
found in the great tragsdian.
I am quite sure that nothing can
come to either of them that will
break their indOmitable courage or
quench their everlasting ambition.
