Ability and Beauty So Extraordinary
That She Starts at the Top as LADY
pardiniiIs" In 1.-THE Kings Came"

Arnold DAILY, whose fame Is about
equally divided between Broadway
Legitimate" productions and Pathe
motion pictures, was travelling through
the south not long ago, and in a GER
tain town of South Carolina stopped
off between trains to get hasty lunch
In a railroad restaurant. His eye
wandered from pile to pile of crullers,
cakes and pies as he tried to make
up his mind on which particular dain-
ty he should take chance. Thus en-
gagged in this engrossing hunt for edi-
bles he failed to notice at first the
girl who with hands folded upon snow
white apron waited patiently for his
order. His decision made, he turned
to her and then at once forgot what he
had taken SO long to decide upon. The
girl before him was surely a waitress
extraordinary. Oval face delicately
tinted with old ivory and the flush
of youth and health; brown hair
combed with Quaker like simplicity,
yet somehow looking better than II 1t
had been worked over by a fashion
able hairdresser; blue eyes that look
ed at him modestly and yet unafraid.
While Mr.. DAILY punished his stom-
ach with the usual small town railroad
station lunch counter delicacies, he
questioned the lady of the apron. He
asked her If she would like to work
In pictures and told her il she would,
he would give her a chance. The girl

reply
Mr.. DAILY decided to miss his train
and see her mother. He did. He call
ed at the address given him by the
girl and talked things over with the
kindly old lady living In the weather
beaten house not far away. He found
that like so many southern families
the two had seen better days. The
father, once leading lawyer of a
neighboring town, had died poor. The
grandfather was an officer In the Con-
federate army, and was killed In the
Wilderness. The one-time large es-
tates had vanished, and now the girl
was supporting her mother by working
In railroad restaurant.
Mr.. DAILY made an offer that caused
the old lady to gasp with surprise.
When the girl returned from work
that evening it was talked over and
decided that such golden opportuni-
ty could not be neglected. So two
days later Nora Moore and her mother
took their soft southern accent and
a few belongings to New York.
That was two months ago. Now Mr..
DAILY wagers his judgment as a pro-
ducing manager that he has made

HOLDS RECORD FOR SERIAL
STARRING.

Pearl White. world famous as tn,
heroine Of the serials. "The Perill
of Pauline" and Elaine" will be fea
fured, It is announced, in a new seria
to be called "The Iron Claw" Miss
White thus enjoys the distinction OF
having starred in more serials thar
any player before the public.
She has for several years been one
OF the three or four Of the best known
stars In the business. practically all
Of which time She has been identified
with Pathe pictures. In fact, 1.-THE
Perfls OF Pauline" may be said to have
been her Arst great chance. and the
starting point of her fame.
She was born In Missouri, and broke
into things theatrical, by the Uncle
Toms Cabin" route. that great nurs.
cry Of histrionic talent For several
years she was connected with various
road shows, and then obtained an
engagement with circus. For two or
three years she worked under "the big
top" and then went back to the stage
where she has been ever since. play
ing with some OF the best and some
Of the worst companies in existence,
as she expresses 1t.
Some three years ago she received
an offer from Pathe to appear In pic
lures, and with Pathe she has been
ever since with the exception Of short
intervals.
Miss White possesses marked Indi-
vidua1ity upon the screen-she re-
sembles no other player before the
public. Her popularity is tremendous
as is amply evidenced by the bewilder-
ing amount of her daily correspond
ence which comes from all parts of
the civilized world. It is said that
IT was because of the number of let
tiers received from admirers all over
the country begging that she be placed
in another serial that Pathe selected
her for THE Iron Claw"
