The conflict Is mental, of course, but
while it lasts one lone woman Is
forced to fight battle for her future

A Boston lawyer meets Fauvette,

ouite realizes what has taken place
she finds herself Mrs. Martin Wesley
and on her way to the United States
with fier husband. Martin is good
enough chap. but has failed to con-

everything outside of their exclusive
circle. They do not approve of their
Imported daughter-in-law, and make
Vtheir son believe he has leaped be-

His treatment of his wife is any

matters to crisis by wearing din.

Boston modesty line. This leads to a
Quarrel. Tony Rye, chum OF Mar

takes to drink, and his wife to writ

but Martin comes to his senses, gets
on the water wagon, stops loan

the pair make fresh start on the sea
Of matrimony.

Gus EdlUards Finds
Real Genius Here

Many a genius is sewing on but
tons in a shirt factory or hanging
up castings in a packing house, &C
cording to Gus Edwards, actor pro-
Queer. The stage and screen Of to-
day are ultra-commercial, he be-
lieves. 1t is seldom that the poor
girl or boy, hungry for the theatrical
chance gets a taste of it.
Yesterday Edwards discovered
l0-year-old Sarah Janoff, daughter
of Herman Janoff, 4ol2 South
Twenty-fourth street. The produc-
err says that the child has stage tai
ent. She will be given chance.
Sarah is poor. She has never
taken dancing lesson or voice
training in her life. She has walked
a mile to practice on an old-fash-
toned square piano. In the dark
kitchen in back of her fathers tailor
shop she has "play-acted." She has
danced for the Queen of the Fairies
danced on her toes in a pair OF
cast-off gym slippers.
Edwards found" Sarah yester-
day-found her because he believes
that in the poor quarters of the big
cities of this country there is I'M
found talent The genius OF the
slums is greater than all the theaters
of the world could hold at one time,
the actor asserts. Every day, &C
cording to Edwards, some undis-
covered genius enters sweat shop
because there is nothing else ahead.
Genius dies because there are no
institutions to give poor children a
chance at dramatic or musical ed
ucation without charge. Child Ia
Dor laws in many states interfere
with stage appearance before 10.
"The duty of the public" Ed
wards states, lis to give the child
genius of the poor district an oppor-
tunity." If you know child with
Unborn theatrical talent inform re-
sponsible theater manager, is the
plea of the producer.

Mrs. Drew appeared as an individ-
ual star, supported in the latter by

Amedee ]. Van Beuren, the pro-

Paramount Truck comedies in which
the popular screen and stage star,
Ernest Truck is the headliner.
In view of the fact that in THE
Breath of the Gods" Arthur Carew
is playing his first Japanese role
in motion pictures. 1t is interesting
to note that his first appearance on
tIlC pIOlCSoiOHoi StdSS Woo ahauS IA
similar character, although, of
course, not as prominent role.
"The Breath of the Gods" is Uni
versaps starring vehicle for Tsuri
Aoki (Mrs. Sessue Hayawaka), in
which Carew appears as her Japan
ese lover.
Arthur Carew, who is an Armen-
ian by birth, and the only man of
his race on the American stage or
screen, graduated with honors from
the American school of dramatic
srt, receiving the David Belasco
gold medal, an annual prize at that
institution. In the same class with
Mr.. Carew were Jane Cowl, kath-
1yn Williams and Ford Sterling, all
of whom have achieved success on
the stage as we'll as in pictures.
After Carew left school he re-
ceived an offer from Belasco's stage
director to play small part i'll The
Darling of the Gods" the famous
drama of old Japan in which
Blanche Bates starred. He played
this throughout the New York run
of the piece, and understudied one
of the leading roles. But although
he has since spent nine years on
the dramatic stage and three years
in the silent drama, he has never
until this production had occasion
to make up as Japanese.

Concerning
Ora CareW

The fact that she was born in
Salt Lake City, within a stones
throw of the house where Maude
Adams first saw the light of day,
undoubtedly influenced Ora ,Carew
10 go on the stage and, finally be-
come motion picture actress. She
saw Maude Adams act, at the old
Salt Lake theater built by Brigham
Young, when Miss Carew was 4
years old. 1t was the first time her
mother mad taken her to a matinee,
and the impression made upon her
by the star and play, which was
The Little Minister" is still re-
tanned. A few years later, when she
attended the Roylin Hall Seminary
in Salt Lake City. the girls organ
lied a Maude Adams club-and oc-
casionally they would receive a
letter from their stage idol.
When Miss Carew was IS years
old the family moved to San Fran
cisco, but the young lady still en-
tertained the hope of some day go
ing on the stage. About that time
the Gayety theater was opened in
San Francisco with musical comedy.
The principals all came from New
York, but the chorous was to be
entirely Californian. Miss Carew
was one of the last to put in her
application and the stage director
was SO pleased with her youth, good
looks and vivacity that he made
room for her in the first production,
after gaining her mothers consent.
After two years in musical
comedy, in which she graduated
from the chorus in singing and act
ing roles, she came to Los Angeles
to play leads with the Mack Sennett
company, and her screen popularity
was Immediately established. She
followed her success appearing in
the comedy films with triumphs in
the more serious photoplays. ap-
pearing with Fine Arts, Griffith,
Goldwyn and Lasky before coming
to Universal City. Under the Big
"U" banner she has played in a
number of successful features, espe-
cihly Loot" Her latest which she
will appear in is "The Peddler."
