| ~ Anxious Mother" came
to me the other day and
it not only interested but amused
me immensely. Here is a paragraph
from it, laying great stress on the
treatment of children seen on the
screen:
Because of my little girls good
looks, several of my friends have
advised me to take her to a moving
picture studio, but only yesterday
heard that in order to make the
children act they are badly treated
pinched when the part calls for them
to cry and fed unhealthy candies in
payment for their laughter.
please tell me if this is so, Miss
Pickford, as 1 was so shocked when
l heard it. I felt I could never sit
through a picture play with children
again"
So this is what l have> 10 write
back to Anxious Mother:
OF course the studio is about the
worst place in the world to send
your child if you do not wish the
little one to be badly spoiled, be-
cause our love for them makes i'll
ever a temptation to cuddle and
fuss over them.
There is no time a child is dearer
than when she unconsciously plays a
little part in a picture, and while
peppermint sticks often do feature in
the training of a child actress they
arc the only sticks that do!
1t is a very simple thing TO make
little children cry, much easier than
it is to make them laugh. With
some it is because they are in al
strange environment; with others i'll
l. habit and training. Picture to
yourselves how easy it would be to-
play upon child's imagination when
she faces conditions similar to these.
On the stage the goggle-eyed camera
is ever turned upon them, and even
the directors voice sounds far away.
Always dear mother is watching
from behind a wall of scenery, but
beng just few feet out of mothers
arms Stirs the little heart to beating
last. We say to them in low, modu-
lated tones, all in a minor key, re-
peating our sentences over and over
again, you are playing the part of
a little girl who feels very sad now,
Doris, and that's why you are going
to cry-that's why you arc going toI
cry" 1t is really amusing, but in
few. minutes the big sobs come
splashing down, and often the little
children will sob as if their hearts
were going to break.
Cickety, clickety, click! goes the
camera. When the director says.
Stop-lights out-that's the end of
this scene" in the wink of an eye
the tears have tumbled down to
nestle in their dresses and their faces
are wreathed with smiles.
The wee babies on the screen are
so sweet do not wonder every
mother unconsciously cries out. !
"Ooooh!' when little baby is shown
kicking in its tub or looking with
big, velvety, wondering eyes down
from the screen upon the audience.
A director told me a cunning lit
tie story about child who had never
played in pictures before. He tried
for two hours to make that young
ster look cross and indignant, mold
ing like a sculptor with his clay,

hoping TO fashion her little features
so there would be a. scowl on her
face and her little rosebud mouth
would be drawn down in the corners.
Finally, as the last resource, he de-
termined TO act as If he were so
thoroughly disappointed in her he

"She never flinched," the director
told me, "but looked at me with her
big blue eyes steadily fixed upon me.
I'm a wicked fairy, Tm,' and she
stamped her foot I'll turn you into
big green toad"
"If this keeps on" and the director
looked at her as ficrcely as any ogre
that ever growled from the pages
of Grimm's Fairy Tales" "I'll have
to turn you over my knee"
At last she looked at him so scorn-
fully the camera could have had at

a curl of her lip, she flounced off

YOUR WEDDING DAY
And the Famous Men and Women
Who Have Shared it.
By MARY MARSHALL.
April 25-Lord George Anson and
Lady Elizabeth York.
Mary Lowell Putnam.
Queen Mother of Belgium.

| Lord George Anson, whose voya ges
around the world two hundred years
ago marked him as one of the great
est of all English admirals and one of
the most daring navigators of history,
was not married till he was ffty-one
years of age. A daring, wandering life
he had led. with little time to think
or things domestic, and when he did
marry, l6S years ago today, there is
no doubt that he married for money
and position. The lady who brought
these prizes to the admiral was Lady
Elizabeth York, daughter of the lord
chancellor of England, who was neither
young nor beautiful. They had no chill
dren and there was no end of gossip.
and some of it not at all creditabIe,
started by that celebrated old tattIer,
Robert Walpole. But the marriage
could hardly have been called a fall
ure. for Lord George got what he
wanted-money and social advance
ment-and Lady Elizabeth a brave and
daring husband. They had both grown
weary of waiting for the realization
OF loves young dream.
A happy marriage indeed was that
OF Mary Lowell Putnam, elder sister of
James Russell Lowell, the American
poet. Still as one reads of this mar
riage one cannot but marvel at the
bravery of the man who dared to ask
for the heart and hand of this lady
who, it is said, could converse fuentIy
In French, Italian. German, Polish,
Swedish and Hungarian, was fairly IA
miliar with twenty modern dialect. be-
sides, and knew how to read and write
In Greek, Hebrew. Persic and Arabic.
Would you have dared to wed so great
a bluestocking?
However, the marriage was a very
happy one, and for many years the
Putnam house in Boston was an alter
nate home for the celebrated poet.
who never ceased to look upon this big
sister of his as his mentor and con-
fdant.
When Prince Philippe, father of the
present unfortunate king of Belgium,
was married, April 25. 1867, he was
thirty years of age. His wife. Marie
HohenZollern, was twenty-five, and
neither one supposed that their Off
spring would be crowned king Of Bel
GUM. and even less did they suppose
when this great honor came to them
that one day they would see his king
dom taken away by the ruthless hand |
of war.

That Seegars' bullets did not
