VVIHEN l think of Florence

'WIHEN I think Of Florence nee
w Lawrence, | always re-
W member my first day at the
Biograph. One of the girls OF the
studio had taken me into the gen.
eral dressing-room, for those days
there were no such thinsc as highly
decorated little cubbyholes with
large and imposing hve-pointed stars
on the door Stars, both real and
imaginary, shared one general dress
ingIroom.
So |, the little novice in pictures,
was allowed to rub elbows with the
gcniuses of pictures-the Florence
Lawrences, Marian Leonards and
the Florence Turner's. OF course, l
felt very much like fish in a des..
ert, having coYe from the stage and
not knowing anything about either
the artists or the work of the screen.
But the girls were kind and gener-
Gus with their assistance and hap
PLY showed me the ropes.
On this particular day, pretty
blonde girl, beautifully gowned, came
into the dressing-room. and | no
ticed with a bit of surprise that the
other girls drew away from her IN
rather an awcstricken, respectful
manner. =,
"If you please, that's my powder,
l said rather viciously, as the gin
dabbed a large powder puff into 1t
and took away generous layer.
The girl, with the manner Of a
grande dame, looked at me rather
disdainfully, helped herself to a sec
ond layer, then flounced out OF the
room! l turned inquiringly to gaze
upon the startled faces Of the other
girls. o-
"Why, don't you know who SHE
isa" they whispered, all in one
breath. l shook my head.
She's very pretty, said lacon-
ically. who is she :"
Why, that is Florence Law
renee"
"Oh!" l replied indifferently. And
who is Florence Lawrence" :.
If had said to them And who is
George Washington" or Il have
never heard of Queen Victoria,
they could not have been more sur
prised, until l explained that l had
seen but one or two pictures and
they were travelogues at the end
of a vaudeville performance.
OF course, after a few days at the
studio, l recognized and appreciated
what it meant to be Florence Law
renee, although, as l have often
written. it may have been day. for
stars and favorites with the public,
but in the studio we were as one
large family. all striving for the sue
cess OF Mr.. Griffith's pictures.
In the first picture we played in
together, l took the part of her
maid. 1t was a little play called
"The Cardinals Conspiracy" and in
the role of maid l felt it great
privilege to serve so charming an
actress. Being a costume picture, it
was abounding in ceremony and for
mality, and, woe betide me! there
came a scene where ! was forced by
the director to kneel and kiss the
feet of the actor who played the part
of her husband.
Just to tease me, although at that
time l was so green | did not guess
they were doing it to amuse the
company, they rehearsed and re-
hearsed and rehearsed that scene!
Long afterward, when Florence
Lawrence and | grew confidential
chums, she told me all about it, and
it made me blush to the roots of my
hair. especially when she laid great
stress upon the awkward, self-con-
scious manner in which | did the ig-
noble feat!

Beginning today and for the last half
of the week Hazel Dawn and Owen
Moore will be starred jointly in a Aim
ization of Under Cover" at Loew's
Columbia. This Is the first time that
Hazel Dawn and Owen Moore have ap-
peared on the screen together. Under
Cover" is a tale Of the United States
customs and of trap into which a
grating official was led with the as
sistance of the very girl whom he tries
to force to help him against the man
she loved. But the girl pays for her part
In the transaction by many sleepless
nights and by antagonizing the very
man who means more TO her than any
thing else in the world except the honor
OF her own sister which she is struggling
to protect. II nearly breaks her heart
to fight against Stephen DENLY, for
though she believes him to be a snug
gler, she loves him. 1t Is said that this
stage drama is admirably adapted to
the films with its ceaseless action and
gripping suspense.
