POLLYANNA'S
PHILOSOPHY

Pollyanua sWears that the Bible
holds a record with 500 admonitions
to be glad. Here is a partial catalogue
Of things she is glad about in Miss
Cushing's play of 'Pollyanna":
Glad because her father has gone
to heaven and left her to her dead
mothers sister in New England.
Glad to see her aunt, and glad to be
there. and glad her aunt is beautiful
IL not loving.
Glad they used to send crutches in
stead OF dolls TO the Ozark Mission,
where her mother exiled herself to
do penance for trying to elope with
John Pendleton.
Glad to be able to feel sorry for
Aunt Polly because she couldn't speak
to her lover, Doc Chiffon, all the
twenty years after he had abused her
father for preventing their match.
Glad she has freckles instead Of
warts.
Glad John Pendleton has shut him
self up in a thrice-barred house for
twenty years, because she'll be so
much gladder when she gets in.
"Pollyanna", the glad play, is being
presented at the National Theater
this week. Miss Viola Harper plays
the part of Pollyanna.

HOW TO BE A
MOVIE STAR
By One of Them

Miss Dorothy Phillips, the star OF
Right to Happiness" the big photo
drama now playing at Moore's RialtO
Theater. like nearly all OF the promi-
nent screen actresses, is daily impOr-
tuned for advice by would-be motion
picture actresses. FOR the benefit of
those who aspire to fame in the silent
drama she has framed a list Of
"don'ts" which she malls on an en-
graveed sheet to those who seek her
advice. Here are a few OF them:
Don't be discouraged IL your first
attempt results in only being an "ex-
ira" Keep striving and opportunity
will eventually beckon to you.
Don't try to initiate anyone. Be
yourself.
Don't attempt part for which you
feel unsuited. You must believe in
and smpathize with your character
to be a success in it
Don't ever allow yourself to sug-
gest vulgarity~or coarseness in a pic
ture. That day has passed.
Don't wear many articles Of jewelry.
Don't use the makeup box too
much.~
Don't jump from one studio to an
other. Stick to one company and
director, if. you can. for at least a
year. Your chance will come.
Don't become a type. Genuine sue
cess comes with development of YER
satility.
Don't be seen in public any more
than necessary. Don't seek publicity.
When you make good. your company
and the newspaper fraternity will at
tend to that for you.
