The Seven Swans" in March

were made at Silver Springs, star
ring Marguerite Clark will be shown
at the Temple Theatre in March.
Manager Bennett made arrange
ments while in Jacksonville for MANY
splendid pictures. Among them the
"Goldwyn" films.
The Seven Swans is Miss Clark's
latest release, and it has received a
great deal of praise where it has been
shown. Miss Clark, as OcaIa people
found out, is very modest little
woman and is not anxious for inter-
views, and she talks very little about
herself. However, in the December
American Magazine, she gives quite
an interesting account of herself, for
this reason:
1.-TWO weeks ago | was in a NOV
ing picture theater with my sister,
watching one of my own pictures.
Behind me sat a. woman who was
telling the man next to her all about
me. She was one Of those persons
who are wise to everything. She
knew so much about me that you
would have been surprised that one
head could hold it all. According to
her, was fifty years old, had been
married three times, and had worked
in pictures ever since they were in
vented. The'fact that / did not look
fifty she attributed to the fact that I
spent most of my time being massage
ed, enameled and what not. IL / did
all the things the good lady accused
me of would never in the world
have any time for pictures
Miss Clark says she would have
very little salary left if she answered
all her mail questions as to her age,
love affairs and husbands, so for aI1x-
ious inquirers she states:
81 know that my good fortune is
due to the accidents of my personal
appearance. / happen to be small
and to look child-like, and they like
my looks. That's all. The question
about my age is answered. / am
neither married, widowed nor divorc.
ed. live with my elder sister and
have positively no grandchildren.
When they (Frohman and Yukon OF
the Famous Players) came an offered
me $1100 week for ten weeks at any
time of the year / chose, / frankly
thought they were out of their senses.
On the part of Mr.. Yukon and Mr..
Frohman it was a prodiguous gamble,
as nobody had the faintest idea
whether fWildfower' would be a sue
cess or an utter failure. Fortunately
it was success, thanks to the direc-.
tors who pushed me through. To this
day, sWildfower' is the one of all my
pictures I like best"
But Miss Clark had not seen her.
self in the "Seven Swans" when she
made that last statement.
Mr.. G. D. Sooley of Tampa was
