far in the making of one of the most
splendidly developed climaxes that have
characterized any play on stage or
screen In a long, long time.
There is apparently no pretense
about Miss Marsh. Quiet and unas-
suming, she nevertheless is fully ap-
preciative Of the advantages that have
been hers without depreciating the
qualities in herself that have impelled
her to make the most OF those adyan-
tages. And when one has that sense
so well developed and the ability she
so evidently has to weigh possibilities
and limitations impartially, even
though they be her own, it is an in
valuable asset s' -a--1. - e. ..
Most people think love and mar
Rage belong exclusively to youth"
says she. Now / know better Youth
is the time to work. You can't work
when your mind is on love affairs.
"0f course for some women mar
riage is a career. Then it's all right to
go into 1t young and make a success Of
it just as a man makes a success Of his
business or an actor goes after fame in
his profession.
"But for me-NOT! I've watched my
sisters in their love affairs and mar
riages, and, believe me, it fills their
lives. There isn't room for any other
career.
why isn't it better to put all your
energy when you're young into work
that will leave you free at thirty-fve
to take up something entirely different
and use whole new set of talents and
interests? Won't I be a better wife
and mother at thirty or thirtysive than
l would be at twenty?

"In order to be successful in any
money earning career you must have

wisdom especially. But you do need it
to be good wife and mother. Don't
you see I'm right?"
Miss Marsh could make you see any
thing, she's that earnest and full of
what Jimmie would call punch"
1t is to that quality she owes her
quick rise to stardom from the humble
position of extra girl" out on the
coast. However little she had to do,
she managed to put pep" into it.

TOW do you Ike this idea for
arranging your life: Get all
Ill your work done in your
youth; grab fame firmly and
hold on to it till you are middle aged,
then marry and rear a family, releas-
ing fame from your grasp and finding
joy in a quiet, secluded country home ?
Not so bad, you say, for some book
ish individual who isn't attractive any
how and hasn't chance at the sweets
Of life? But utterly preposterous for
anybody the gods have favored with
beauty and talents, vivacity and
charm.
Very well. Now 1 give you three
guesses as to who has laid out this
life program for herself. No, it's not
a female professor Of mathematics;
not a writer on ''The ParalleHsm Be
tween Morphology and Characterol-
ogy;;" not even a sufrragette; but a
very lovely young person by the name
of Mae Marsh, idol of 100000 screen
fans-the girl who figures so thrilling
ly in The Birth of Nation" running
for her life through the landscape and
plungtng of the cliff to escape her pur-
suer!
Too Busy For Love Affairs.
Yes, sir. Little Mae Marsh, the blue
eyed, the golden haired, the adored.
the hattered, the pursued. The girl
whom David Griffith calls the Bern
hardt Of the movies because she puts
more electrical temperament into ten
feet Of film than lots of 'em do in ten
thousand. The girl who has no up
stage" manner, no airs, no egotism, no
fur topped boots, no lip rouge.
II, that time old question of per-
sonality and the stage is still up for
discussion those Of the opposing side
are lucky not to see Miss Marsh If
they are bent on keeping up their
end Of the argument, for at the first
glance and after a minutes CONVEX
sation any one must recognize that
this girl from California is the rep
lica Of the loving, lovable, earnest,
playful little sister immortalized in
Mr.. Grifiths great civil war play. In
the first place, she is scarcely older
than that, even now, when she is
within hailing distance of her twen-
ties.
There is the same dignity that just
escapes being primness and that same
Spontaneity and vivacity, that same
alternating repression and expression
Of emotion that make the girl Of the
screen so adorable and that go so
