productions 1t may surprise many to
know that when an actress wears the
same dress in two or three produc-
lions she is certain to receive mum
Der of letters commenting on the fact.
It is necessary therefore to change
every gown in some manner after 1t
has been worn in a few scenes in a
motion picture play.
The work is harder than posing for
cover subjects and there is great
deal of art connected with the work
despite certain contrary statements
After several years with the Seiig

roles. | can look back and easily notice
the advancement | have made in Doth
experience and conception of motion
picture art. | fear would have been
lost when started my engagement
with the Selig Company If ] had not
had some previous dramatic expert
ence. but even in my schooldays was
fond of amateur theatricals and ire
ouently appeared in them, and this ex
perience proved very valuable indeed
There are many hazards encoun
tered in the course of motion picture
production, but an actress gets used tc
that quickly and it becomes a matter
of course-a part of her daily life.

beasts at the Selig Jungle-zoo as pets
rather than ferocious animals and
am told that If / feared them would
never be able to work In scenes witt
them. They are really like little chill
dren and one must humor them con
tinualIy in order to keep them In thu
best of spirits.
There is one thing feel 1t my dut.
to discuss here and hope all the girl
who read my story will profit by m.
experience. This is my advice to tn,
hundreds of girls in all parts of tn,

cent young girl. care-free and unso-
phisticated. She lives with her father
on little farm and is the apple of his
eye. And then the stranger comes
into her life He Is handsome
school teacher with a past. She loves
the stranger with all her heart and
they elope and are married Later he
is arrested for theft and bigamy
There is a baby which Sweet Alys-
sum" is willing to sacrifice for the life
of her husband. OF course everything
turns out all right and the real villain
is punished.
| always loved that story and | was
delighted when Director Colin Camp
bell cast me for the title role. | was
proud, too, to appear in "a Selig Red
Seal play in a stock company that in.
cluded such artists as Tyrone Power
and Miss Kathlyn Williams. | really
and truly lost myself in the role, some
thing that is as possible in motion pic
ture art as on the legitimate stage.
The big scene where Sweet Alys
sum" holds her frst-born in the line
of fire from her fathers rifle In orde,
to save the life of her young husband
was rehearsed again and again before
it was satisfactory and | am told the
rehearsing was worth while for the
scene has been pronounced one of the
most intense in motion pictures.
There Is another scene that / iust
know would be praised. That scene 1.
where Roanoke brooks confrou%s ~,
wife with the hidden finery. 1t shoulc
be remembered by motion picture Low
ers that Sweet Alyssum" is the frs
Selig play in which Tyrone Power ant
Miss Kathlyn Williams appear. How
could the scene be otherwise thar
tense with those two great stars play
ing opposite to each other? 1t is &C
tion that is certain to go down in
motion picture history.
