Bessie Eyton Writes This Ad-

Readers Of The Times.
ACTING is REAL HARD WORK
Life Of Film Star Easier to Con-
template on Screen Than to
Live in Studio.
By BESSIE EYTON.

have been told that my entrance
and my success in motion pictures
were somewhat unusual for the
reason that had no previous dra-
matte experience.
As you know, large majority OF
those prominent In the art Of the
silent drama were formerly players
In the spoken drama. Very few
players. l have been informed. have
arisen to prominence in screen work
who were not previously exper-
fenced on the stage.
I never had any experience in dra-
matte work-not even amateur thea
tricals-before l began work as O
Rhotoplayer for the Selig Company.
rhe way 1 started was unusual. My
home Is In Los Angeles. I visit
cd the Selig studios with n party
Of friends and purely for pleasure.

screen. but at the time Of my FIRST
visit to the studio four years ago,
appearing In the movies was some
thing entirely foreign to my
thought.

When I visited the studio floor the
producer espedled me and said: II
like your type. II is one 1 sadly need
In this picture More for mere
sport than anything else I consented
to take the minor role that was Of
fered me.
And l have worked for the Selig
Company ever since that time. and
I hope to continue. What success
l have achieved in the movies IL
due solely to hard work and will
tngness to heed instructions.
The art OF acting for motion pic
lures Is not an easy art. There IL
no means OF ascertaining from one
day to another just what the char
acter role or what action the direc-
tor will call upon one to portray.
l have enacted probably four or
I'VE hundred different character
roles during my experience and
these characters range from a leader
In highest social circles to a Saliva
ton Army girl.
A motion picture actress must
know how to ride. to shoot, to fence,
to dance, and to motor, for there
In no telling when one may be call
ed upon to exemplify these and
other accomplishments.
Many long hours are spent on 40

from early morning until late at
night in Just one or two scenes of a
MIN play.

"1EACHERAGE" FEMININE
FOR TEACHER. Her IDEA
North Dakota School Ma'ams Not Ae
customed to a Home Erected
For Pedaaoa.

Bismarck, N. D., Dec. 6.-North Da-
kota generally is becoming accustomed
to the "teacherage," and It Is clamor-
ing for more and more of them. There
remain a few, however, to whom the
"teacherage" Is a mystery. A young
school ma'am who sent in her
examination papers this week referred
to the teacherage as "a great factor in
the community because of her intimacy
with the children and her supposed
ability in leadership" Evidently, she
had concluded that a teacherage was
teacher of the feminine gender. 9th
ers are under the impression that,
horror of horrors! the term teacher
age refers to teachers who have reach
er the sere and yellow stage. AS a
matter Of fact teacherage in peda-
gogy is as a parsonage in the ministry
a place where the shepherd may live
and enjoy a certain degree of com
fort.
