Monroe Salisbury
Sees Himself as
Others See Hin,

"Oh wad some power the giftie ge
US to see oursel's as others see us!"
So wrote Bobby Burns when he saw
naughty old dame who was quite un-
aware that a coote was parading
around on her bonnet. "And that is the
real reason I went on the SCREEN" said
Monroe Salisbury when some one asked
him how he happened to leave the
spoken for the silent drama
Salisbury was born in Buffalo, N. Y.
and attended private schools along the
Hudson and in Gotham proper until he
was seventeen: then he went through
college in three years and scanned the
horizon for profession. He decided
to take whirl at the footlights. His
whirl was rather more of tornado. for
it carried him to parts in support of
such stars of the speaking stage as
John Drew, Richard Mansfield, Mrs.
Fiske and Nance O'Neill
At that time the motion picture in
dustry was just getting out of its
swaddling clothes. 1t was tolerated by
the speaking stage folks, but was in no
way regarded seriously.
On golden Saturday morning Sails
bury motored to Santa Monica, a beach
near Los Angeles. He strolled up the
Rialto with nothing on his mind but q
Panama and a desire to rest.
Coming down the walk he saw com.
pany OF photo players looking like the
aurora borealis in makeup and costume
With them trudged the director in his
regulation uniform of megaphonc ant
riding breeches. "What spectacle!'
thought Salisbury; "whcn l leave the
theatre | can wear Christian clothes
and revel in the luxury Of clean face
but these poor devils have to parade ur
and down like clowns"
A week later Salisbury was asked te
visit the Lasky studio. He appeared al
the studio and was asked to depict the
role of the District Attorney IN "The
Master Mind"
"Play in motion pictures!" Salisbury
Salisbury met three men with whom he
had played on the speaking stage
After the greeting Salisbury said:
what IN the world are you doins
here-theres nothing out in this coun
try but moving pictures"
"Ihat's it, exactly" answered tho
trio OF celebrities; Eve are going into
pictures"
To see his friends of the speaking
stage eager and ready to work for the
camera gave Salisbury new angle or
the proposition made him by Laskv
When Lasky again called him he &C.
cepted.
Build up the part of the Distric,
Attorney until it is co-starring We.
hicle and III play it," he told the
studio managers.
His Interpretation of this role won
HIM immediate recognition.
