Tn TINS article | want to emphasize the
i fact that girl who Is desirous of get

herself of the popular notion that acting
before the camera is easy and mostly play.
Just the reverse is the case. 1t is extremely
difficult and is very hard work. I have
seen many talented young girls fail in a
motion-pcture career, merely because they
were not physically able to perform the
tasks set before them.
The erroneous idea which is quite prev

Is TO look pretty and walk in and out Of

one would make after seeing the finished

to obtain a certain result-which appears
quite simple on the screen--is not shown

When she resolved to go upon the
stage, Miss Closer, being still a young
thing, went to Mr.. FrOhmnn's Office, and
steadied her nerves at the door by re-
peRting over and over again, "Perseyer-
ance is the price of success" and such
like bracing sentiments. In that way
she got as far as the anterOom. There
she saw an office boy sitting. with his
feet upon the desk and newspaper be-
fore him.
"Is MIR. Frohmnn in?" she asked
"Naw." said the Offiee boy without
looking up.
"Then l will wait" said the actress.
She waited an hour in silence. Then il
occurred to her to put simple question.
'When will MIR. FrOhman be in?"
"He ain't gOln' TO be In" answered
the boy. HES In Europe
When she Joined MIR. DaIy's company,

investigate him and his ethics. His

be palmcd off as the work Of Rousseau.
