days, quite a number of people may
enjoy bit of information concerning

by Miss Clark herself which of course
is quite authentic. She writes as fol-
lows:
"Pm quite young enough to be able
to smile at middle age. So you see
Pm not seventeen but considerably
closer to it than to fifty, thank the
stars. / am neither married, widow
ed nor divorced. live with my older
sister and have positively no grand
children.
''To be candid, do not take myself
seriously as a moving picture actress
altho the work has to be taken ser
iously. I know that my good fortune
/ is due to the accident of my personal
appearance. happen to be small
and look childish, and they like my
looks. That's all.
- cit seems curious to ms
now that / first. appeared in public as
a singer. The majority of people do
not know that was on the regular
stage at all. It was a sad blow to
my vanity the first, time this dawned
upon me, considering that T had been
a star in six comic opera and dramatic
| p1 oductions and had earned as much
as $500 week before Lever dreamed
lof going into pictures. Soon after
was the release Of sWildfower,' my
frstsflm.
"The most important factor in get
ting film job is persistence. / al
ways followed that very simple pol
icy persistence and patience. What
love best about my work is the sat
iisfaction of amusing the children. j
really love children--not only theo-
retically, but love to be with them,
play with them and listen to them.
"I'm often asked how it feels to be
earning an income fifteen times as
large as the widest dreams I ever
had. I really can't say Pm single
bit happier now than I was when !
was on the stage and my income was
precarious. | amlonelier than / was
two years ago because I rarely have
time to see the people I like. But
please don't think / am complaining. u
