HOW WLNCES ENTHUSIASM
CAPTURED BILL Y BURKE

1t is no unusual thing for a director
to bo carried away by enthusiasm dur
ing the filming of some particularly
important production. but not every di-
rector is capable OF arousing the same
zeal in the star who is working with
him. But this Is what Thomas II. Ince
did with Billie Burke.
Just before tRe completion of the pic
ture Miss Burke herself explained Just
how she got into the spirit of the pro-
duction and just what made her enjoy
her experience as a camera actress.
1T really wasn't tho big salary that
finally decided me in favor of films. =
said the star in her sunny dressing
room at Inceville. when I first re-
ceived the offer went away from Los
Angeles quite undecided. but when l
got back to New York l found that /
could not escape the lure that Mr.. Ince
had thrown around the project. and his
enthusiasm was so contagious that /
could not get away from 1t.
s'Somehow I kept thinking of having
these lovely hills as stage properties,
and they seemed too big to deny. i kept
thinking of the stretch of sea with the
mountains as a background. and it
seemed to me that a girl who could
have the Pacific Ocean for scenery was
too lucky for any use.
so here I am. and hate to think
that we are nearly through. There
never was such another dressing-room
in all the world, and I know II. Why,
it's bigger than any stage. and as rich
as a set for a society drama.
so many things have happened to
make this first picture of mine one of
the finest stage experiences of my life.
In the first place, I have a great d.
rector. Mr.. Ince has taken charge OF
this picture in person, and the privilege
of learning this portion of the drama
under the tutorship of such master
mas been a splendid opportunity.

Then. too, 1 have had my very own
play for the first time In my life. Mr..
G. Gardner Sullivan and Mr.. Ince wrote
IL for me on the spot and II suits me de-
iiciously. l have always wanted to act
In something that was written for my
very self Why. In my play last year
was just an afterthought. even II was
the star. That play of Jerry had been
written for the sake of the older parts.
and when they thought OF II as a vehicle
for me they had to write 1t all over again
just to give me something to do.
1T is swfully funny to find yourself
acting in a play written just for your
self and realize that II hasn't name
yet. Here we have been working for
weeks. and / truly don't know the name
