Pearl White is writing a novel which
is to be pretty much a story of her
own life.
Her life, if one may judge by the
glimpses she gives of IL in recent in
terview, has been picturesque enough
to make an interesting autobiography.
She was one of ten children at Sc
dalia, Mo
Her father was Irish and her mother
Italian
And the family was poor.
She was selling newspapers on the
street of her home village when along
came an itinerant Snowman. Pearl
Whites career began then as Little
Eva in a one-bloodhound company
playing Uncle Toms Cabin"
Later she was in circus. and still
later was back on the stage.
She began her movie career when
that art was in its very infancy. The
studio in which her first pictures were
photographed was over livery stable.
Miss Whites fame was won in
thrillers, for which her circus expert
ence had fitted her. She was the star
of the "Perils of Pauline" and Elk
ploits of Elaine" and more recently
has been featured in THE Iron Claw"
Lule Warrenton, one of the best
known character women in the film
business, has been made a director at
the Universal, where she will produce
pictures intended especially for chill
dren. She is now at work with her
juvenile company and things are COM
ing along nicely.
Mary Garden has at last fallen 10
the lure of the mazuma in the merry
motion picture field and has been en-
gagged by the Fox company TO do a
picture or so. With the entry of fam
Gus grand opera stars in pictures the
price of vampires" is steadily going
up.
Raymond Wells has been engaged by
the Universal to direct little Lena
Basket, the child actress, in a series
of Egyptian productions. Mr. Wells
gathered half a county full of lime
light when he directed the production
of Julius Caesar" for the Actors
Fund in Hollywood.
Max Figman and his wife. Lolita
Robertson, are appearing together in a
new series of comedies to be made by

a success of SIMILAR series by the
same producers, featuring Mr.. and
Mrs. Sidney Drew.

also an entomoiogist. She caught
three butterflies for her collection in
her first day at the Fox studio at
Grantwood, n. J. Also two beetles and
a grasshopper.
