well. OF late il seems to me that
tousled, empty-headed chits have not
been in such great demand. Look at
the wonderful work done by Emily
Stevens, Florence Reed and other stage
stars.
Here is an additional reason which
I had for steering clear Of the movies;
had occasion one day TO visit studio
to see a manager, and | sat there for
two hours. During the entire after
noon a monograph ground out Hearts
and Flowers When | couldn't stand it
any longer | expostulated with the d.
rector, only to learn that they were
trying to get the star to weep real
tears at the bedside Of her dying child.
Fancy that! Then another thing which
convinced me that the methods of
direction were all wrong was when |
went with another actress to see her
picture run off in the projection room,
and in one Of the scenes, where she
received word that her husband had
been killed, she said: oh, Pm so glad
I know now why the director told me
to drop the envelope and collapse. |
never had any idea what it was about
Just think of director who takes his
people into his confidence only to the
extent of telling them when to cry or
to laugh, but never tells them any
thing about the story.
lizard work? Well, should say
yesl II is very hard work, but | adore
work. Let me tell you a few of the
things I've been doing. I've been on
the stage for the last fifteen years,
with never more than a weeks vaca-
ton at time. In the last two years

But that Is not all. Listen to this
incredible tale: once made a picture
In a week. II happened like this: /
never had had an offer from motion
picture company, and my first one was
most hattering. Ny salary was in four
hgures-my contract TO make one pict-
ure. but not in any specified time.
Well, | was at that studio every morn
ing at 1880, and we worked until along
about midnight. didn't know any
better-I thought all motion picture
actresses did it. At the end of the
week my picture was finished; I re-
ceived my enormous check, and then |
learned that most directors take elk
weeks to make a picture such as | had
made in one week. So. divided by six,
my salary wouldn't have boon so large,

me in the class with the highest sala-
red stars, and II is q very pleasant

WHO IS WILLIAM LIE BARON?

"But, after that. why did you give
up the drama for so long?'
well, l went to see great many
plays, and ! soon found that the drama
was having plenty done for it. Besides,
there were other professions which
seemed to be more in need of my SER
vices. ! looked about, and decided
that advertising was calling for which
mya college training had peculiarly fit
ted me, so | joined the staff of Col
lier's Weekly and ever since have been
trying to convince the management that
my decision was for their own good
"But about The Very 1dea'?'
T'm coming to that You see, year
or two ago began to hear a stray re-
mark, now and then, about the more or
less worthy human race. Before that
! had never paid any particular atten-
tion to races of any sort, but somehow
there was something about this one.
Quietly began to investigate it, and
the more | did, the more ! felt that
something should be done about 1t. ]
felt that it needed my influence in one
way or another. AS ! got more deeply
into it found that it would be hard
to make the human race any worse, so,
obviously, my only course was to try
to make II better. This naturally sug-
gested eugenics, and Immediately
started work on a manuscript setting
forth my ideas. AS soon as 1t was fn-
ished ! determined that the American
public must be kept waiting no longer,
SO ! took the play to G. NJ. Anderson
and L. Lawrence Weber. How would
you like asked, TO produce eugenic
comedyT They looked ct each other
for q moment, puzzled; then Mr. Ander-
son spoke up. Whatever that u.s. he
said, and then added, still, we have
produced most everything else; let's
take a chance on it So it was settled"
"Then the object of The Very Idea
is TO elevate the stage?"
Heavens, no! would never dare to
attempt anything so vital as that. No,
my object Is only 20 improve the human
race, so that in a year or two we can
look back on to-day in amazement."
at was meant TO be a comedy,
wasn't TT"
"Well, of course, the audiences laugh.
But then, you remember years ago peo-
pie laughed at divorce and women who
smoked and mother-in-law jokes. To-
day we are quito serious about them

great deal of good?"
T'm sure it will do me a great deal
Of good, II it runs long enough

U1ILLIAM LIE BARON. to put the
w punch in the opening paragraph
is the author of "The Very Idea" which
arrived at the Aston last Thursday. In
asmuch as it is Mr.. lie Baron's first
regular play, and inasmuch further as
it would appear at this writing to be
regular success, it is not inapropos TO
inquire further into this matter of the
identity Of Mr.. lie Baron. From that
time on it ran something like this;
"How did you get your start in writ
ing for the stage?"
at was while ] was at New York
University" William lie Baron replied.
"You see, the senior class had meet
ing, and decided that it would be a
great idea to present an original must
cal comedy as the annual varsity show.
In their enthusiasm they appointed a
cast, hired a theatre, an orchestra, a
stage director and arranged for sew
eral sets of gorgeous costumes. All the
preparations went along smoothly until
about a week before the show was to be
given, some one discovered that they
had forgotten 20 have a play written.
AS all of the other fellows were busy
with their studies, the committee Sc
lected your hero TO write the book and
lyrics, and conscrpted Old Deems Tay-
Tor TO compose the score. Neither OF
US knew anything about the work for
which we were chosen, but, as that is
usually the case with authors and COM
posers, no one cared"
did you finish the play on timer
"oh, yes. We had almost completed
the second act finale when the curtain
went up on the first night. We re-
hearsed il between the acts, and, as the
c4st and chorus didn't know much Of
~ thing about the play, anyway, the
audience went homo happy. Naturally,
after turning out this masterpiece on
our first trial, we decided to go on and
make IT our lifework. We wrote three
more musical comedies In three success
sive yesrs-the last of the trilogy was
The Echo"
which was produced profession
ally"
"Oyer our dead bodies. Somehow the
Broadway managers heard about il, and
on the second night five or six Of them
appeared with contracts and advance
royalty checks in their hands. OF
course, Mr. Taylor and myself had al
ways been brought up In the strictest
way, and taught never 70 associate with
theatrical managers, but they wouldn't
let US alone. Before we knew II The
Echo had passed into the hands Of
Charles Dillingham;. Then it was that
we realized that our lives would never
be the tsme again"

DYNAMIC GRACE VALENTINE

Gus other times heard Miss Valentine
express herself in no uncertain terms
as regards the silent drama. we decided
one day last week TO visit Miss Valen-
tine and ascertain her present state Of
mind. She had just arrived from Los
Angeles, il happened, and would have
whole day In New York before re-
turning to Chicago to open in up
stairs and Down" The indefatigable
Miss Valentine willingly added an in
terview to her list of engagements for
the day, and kept it, TOTO the min
ute, which is characteristic of her and
quite different from the majority Of
interviewees.
We Immediately asked il it were true
that she had just finished seven-reel
thriller called "Babbling Tongues" and
II she really intended to stick TO the
silent drama, TO which she replied,
Eyes, indeed, it is true" in such an
enthusiastic manner that we immedi-
ately reminded her Of her erstwhile
attitude.
"Yes," she answered, that is true,
too. felt that way then, and I'll tell
you why. | thought to achieve success
on the screen you had to bleach your
hair and follow the lead Of the blond
and bland ingenuc, who always opens
the picture with a close up, feeding
baby pigs out of bottle or some
other equally coy performance. That
is not true now. The legitimate actress
is coming into her own. although | be-

Going back TO The Very Idea is it
really your belief that only people who
are physically and mentally fit should
become parents?"
"There is no doubt of it,"
"Er-that is, how many children have
you?"
Mr.. lie Baron looked up at the clock.
"Well, WE'LL" he said, chow time flies!
