Photoplay Actresses
Are Defended By
Charlotte
Walker

Charlotte Walker, who is in .
q motion picture actress as she
was as stock company leading
woman In this ciy-which Is
quite some popularity-has been
moved to defend the character Of
the motion picture actress in gen.
eral in a most vehement way. Miss
Walker is in Los Angeles, where
she has been appearing in motion
pictures for the past three months.
One OF her pictures has already
been seen here and the others will
be shown from time to time as
they are released. She has been
much interested in the changes
that are wrought in the habits Of
stage stars when they go into mo-
tion pictures. The daily life Is
entirely different and the environ
ment Is different.
Miss Walker has become an en-
thusiastic advocate of motion pic
lures. She will not forsake the
stage. she has announced. but she
believes that the photoplay has a
big mission and that actors and
actresses are doing themselves a
good turn when they appear in the
pictures-they get lot Of new
ideas that will be useful on the
stage. However. that has nothing
to do with the character Of the
motion picture actresses. about
which Miss Walker has such decid-
ed opinions. Her statement re-
garding them was the result Of an
attack that was made upon them
by a Purity Congress delegate in
San Francisco. She says:
For a long time it has been
conceded that the quickest way to
stage as being immoral. and now
the lash has fallen upon the
shoulders Of the motion picture
industry.
"These TRADES are best answered
by silence. but for. fear at this
time silence will be misunder-
stood by the thoughtlcss. have
consented to make this reply. For
years the stage was held as i'm.
moral. on account of the fact that
every dissolute woman who was
taken in charge by the police gave
her profession as that Of an act
ress.
"The cloak OF immorality has
been torn from the stage. and 1t
eventually will be in motion pic
lures. when it becomes known
that those who are sincere in their
work and are regularly employed
must necessarily lead the cleanest
OF lives. If the matter was ana
lyzed I feel l am safe in saying
that the percentage of morality Is
higher. or as high. in the theatri-
cal profession as In any other walk
in life.

advised them to go to some Sta tie where

Racine. where the articles Of agreement.
drawn in Chicago last Monday, were
signed and forfeits posted with John p.
A few minor changes were made in
the documents. the most important Of
which was the raising OF the forfeit
money. Before the party left for Ra-

prevent the match unless either boxer
suffers serious injuries. The signing of
the articles was witnessed by John +.

The party which went to Racine was
composed Of W. c. Marshall. Mike Glib

Nate Lewis and Attorney Condor.
Efforts to get these boxers together
have been made for two years. Neither

successful that he retired two years

GEORGIA MAY HAVE

Baseball Men Buy Property
Which May Become Training
Camps to Reduce Expenses.

NEW YORK. Aug. 4.-Dover Hall. one
of the largest and most picturesque OF
the Southern estates. located fourteen
miles from Brunswick. Ga. has Just
been purchased by a syndicate OF men
prominently identified with baseball.
and the indications are that the old
plantation, which comprises 2.436 acres,
will eventually be turned into a great
training camp for the major league
teams.
The identification OF George Stallings
with the project lends further credence
to this view. for 1t has been one of his
pet theories that 1t would be a great
advantage for a National League and
American League team to train to-
gether. each practicing in the morning
independently and playing game In
the afternoon.
The scope Of the pl operty would al
low for the training Of every one Of the
big league teams. and this undoubtedly
would lessen the cost of Southern train

Already a large amount Of money has
been subscribed, Ban Johnson having
taken five shares in the club.
At present 1t ia the plan to improve
the property so that 1t may be a winter
resort and game preserve. To this end
work will start soon and a clubhouse
costing about $4,000 will be erected,
and 1t Is believed 1t will be ready for
occupancy this fall. Many Of the mem
bers are preparing to build cottages,
