Boy Actor Wants to
Be Newspaper Man
When He Reaches
the Proper Age
BY GARDNER MACK.

One OF the most experienced OF the
motion picture players. who Is also
one of the youngest has conceived
the ambition to become a newspaper
reporter when he grows to manhood.
Just why MattY Roubert should
have acquired this ambition Is easily
understood when one of tho big
things he did in films is remembered.
Matty is the Nounester who was
sent travelling about the country to
meet the prominent men by the Uni
versal Company some two or three
years ago lie was known as the
universal Boy" and as such he
appeared in almost every city OF the
country and shook hands with the
mayor or some other person OF local
or national prom ,nence while the
motion picture camera clicked. On
this trip whenever Matty met IA
prominent man he was always sur
rounded by newspaper men. and the
boy acquired the idea that the news
paper reporter must be the greatest
man in the world.
NLatty IL just wears old, hut he
has been a motion picture actor six
years-almost as long as motion pic
ture plays have been numerically
possible. His first picture was
Uncle Toms Cabin" one OF the
earliest pictures that was made OF
this classic. He was with the Vita
graph Company then and he played
the part of Little Harry. Adele De
Garde was the Little Eva OF the
production. with Billy Phillips play
ing Uncle Tom. Mary Fuller as
Eliza. Tcft johnson as Simon I,e-
gree and Carlyle Blackwell and
Julia Swayne Gordon playing small
parts
Matty was ; wears old at the time
and could just toddle on the stage
He was a member OF the Vitagraph
Company several years, appearing
regularly in dramatic productions az
child and sometimes in the star
part.
He was engaged by the Universal
company to play in n special series
Of pictures of which the Universal
Boy set formed a part. There were
y number of regular plays in the
series that had boy heroes in which
MattY was starred. Within the last
few weeks he has been engaged by
the Aurora Film Company to create
the part of the boy hero in "The
Little Waif.' a five-reel drama that
has been especially written for him.
