chums. We would like to
become movie actresses. but
we are still in grammar
school. We think we have
some of the qualifications
necessary. Can you please
advise us how to become
movie actresses and be
known to the world?
EDITH AND MARGARET.
A.-SOme of the actresses
whose work is shown ON the
screen seem to have had "a rapid
rise to fame and fortune, but
that is because the industry itself
has had such sudden develop
ment. This history is not likely
to repeat itself. From now on
the phOtO-play business will be
slower i'm growth, and the work
required of its actors will be
more and more arduOus. The
only thing for girls to do who
have an ambition that way is to
keep steadily on with their
school work, taking some dra-
matte work with it, and watch
for an opportunity, at home, to
get before the camera.
