Mary Boldnd Thinks
Picture Director
Lives Life Of
Hardship
BY GARDNER MACK

Every actor or actress who enters
motion picture work, temporarily or
with the idea of adopting it perma-
nently, finds something new that as
tonishes-and usually something diff
ferent. The realism. the out-of-door
work, the regular hours. the possi-
bility of having a permanent resi-
dence and the hard work that is re-
duired have all been commented on
by those who have spoken for pub
lication. There have been few actors
or actresses who have had much to
say about the motion picture direc-
tor, however. That is, there have
been few actors and actresses who
needed to hold jobs in motion pic
lures who would talk about direc-
tors. They have frequently had
much to say-but not the kinds OF
things that would be either polite
or polite.
Mary Boland, the young actress
Washingtonians remember as the
leading woman for John Drew sew
eral seasons and last year the star
in MY Lady's Dress has recently
gone to Los Angeles to appear in a
special picture production and she
the work OF a motion picture direc-
tor. Especially has Miss Boland
been impressed by Thomas H. Ince.
Miss Boland has become the cham
pion OF the director. She thinks he
has been a much abused person in
the past and Ia anxious to see that
he is given n square deal. With all
his faults she thinks he Is entitled to
credit for remaining human and a
director at the same time.
Nobody in the world, who has
not made pictures a business. said
Miss Boland recently, can under
stand the hardships Of a directors
life. He takes the whole responSi
biiity of the picture upon himself
and he requires unlimited energy
Of body and brain. He thinks out
everybody's work and carries the
whole play in his head. Weeks be-
fore a picture is begun he takes the
manuscript home and figures out as
many as four or five hundred
scenes. For each Of these he must
decide upon a location and for
every character in a play that may
require 1000 people he must choose
his man and his woman. Yes, and
he must sometimes decide upon
many children, some Of them less
than a year old. He must know
where to find crooked men AMI
straight men. dwarfs. giants. hard
faces and noble ones, stately men
aud persons without dignity. wom-
an of beauty and those OF less
beauty. young women who can be
old and older women who can dis
semble youth. Indians. Cinnamon,
dogs with superior intelligence AMI
ponies who know more than their
riders.
The director must have a COM
rosite brain, if not a cosmc one
When he has finally assembled this
vast array Of nondescript talent he
must be able to beat it into shape"

New Years and the Battles OF Peace.
Good morning. reader friends,
wish you all a Happy New Year.
Now do not tell me that in this war

as a happy New Year. To be sure.
there may not be many prosperous
made happy New Years just now. but
there are plenty Of happy New Years
ready for those who have the grit to
make them out OF their own optf-
mism and courage. And after all.
homemade, heart-made happy New
Years come pretty near being the best
kind because they're less easily lost
or destroyed.

is not in some way affected by this
war. We've all got to help fight in 1t
whether we want to or not. And the
big question is, how are you fighting
your little share of the battle? Are
financial depression drive you into the
slough of despond? Or are you fac
ing it with that unconquerable soul
which is the essence of the finest brav-
cry? Are you fighting with the true
knights lance of optimism and hope
and courage?
You may have some material sac
Most of US have. Are you making
them in a spirit of irritation and self
ish disappointment? Or are you re-
nouncing cheerfully, nay. even thank
fully when you stop to think of your
immunity from the real sufferings Of
war. Suppose you could not look up
at the eternal stars without fearing to
see a death dealing Zeppelin dark
ening. the heavens. Suppose you
couldn't leave your home to go to
work in the morning without dread
ing to find it burned or sacked at
night. Suppose you lived in daily

Peace hath her victories no less
than war and she has her heroes and
her towards too. We soldiers of
peace can show ourselves just as
brave and fine as the soldiers in the

this strange new year 1915. let US
take into our hearts the finest
marching song ever written for the
battle of life,
Zone who never turned his back but

Never dreamed, though right were
