Under his bubbling optimism and

Mary Pickford and Douglas Fair
banks first saw each other while
they w"r" working on the Lasky

saw her in a character in which she
is familiar to millions. She looked

Mary Pickford. the saddest and the

found a true companionship. And
once more she saw the hope of a
ray of moonlight in her life.
The eager tongue of the gossip
began to wag. The friendship OF
Mary Pickford and Douglas Fair

New Version of Beethoven S
History Written in Eng
lish by American.

After waiting many years, the
announcement is made of the pub
lication in English OF the monu-
mental and authoritative Life of
Beethoven written by an Ameri-
can, Alexander Wheelock Thayer., 1t
is particularly fitting that the work
should be begun this year. as il
marks the l50th anniversary OF the
birth of Ludwig Won Beethoven.
The American edition will be in
three volumes, running to nearly
10000 words. The publication of
these volumes will be undertaken
under the auspices and through the
financial aid of the Beethoven Asso-
citation, a voluntary association of
foremost artists who gave a series
Of six concerts in New York during
the season just ended. The profits
of the season. amounting to about
$4,000, will be devoted to the publi-
cation of this work. which up to
this time has existed only in Ger
man.
Through the foresightedness of o.
@. Sonneck. formerly OF this city,
and the originator of the idea, me-
gotiations are already under way by
which the work will be issued
through one of the foremost inter-
national publishing houses.
Alexander Wheelock Thayer was
a native of Massachusetts,, born at
South Natick on October %. 1917.
He graduated from Harvard in 1S43.
He was a musical enthusiast and
went abroad for the first time in
1S49-51 seeking material for his
beethoven Investigations. Return
ing to America in 1851, he was on
the New York Tribune for a short
time, but went to Europe a second
time in 1854. remaining there for
the rest Of his life. most of the time
at Trieste. where he was United
States consul for several years. He
died there in 1897. with only three
of the four volumes of his trcmend-
Gus work completed.

The Story of Mary's Romance

What is the real story back of the
recent marriage of filmdom's great
est stars-Mary Pickford and Doug
last Fairbanks? That has been the
unanswered-at least unsatisfactory
lily answered-question of the world
for weeks.
1t is one of the great love stories
of all time, writes Billy Bates in
the June Photoplay. The wooinG
and wedding of the two great mo-
tion picture stars was a romance
that the most hectic scribbler of
scenarios might have hesitated to
write. But after all, it was the only
thing to expect.
When Mary Pickford stood before
the minister she stood there as any
woman might stand, radiant with
love for the man at her side. a bit
fearful, perhaps, for the tender
memories left behind. but with
smiling hope for the future. EN-
cept for the sensation-hungry world
waiting just outside the door she
might have been the plumber
bride looking forward to the honey
moon trip to Niagara Falls.
Film folk. from property boy TO
producer, are hoping that Mary
Pickford and Douglas Fairbanks
have found lasting happiness.
Mary first met Owen Moore on the
Biograph lot back in the days when
the names Of Aim actors were not
known to the public only as the
Biograph blonde" But the PickfOrd
charm and ability rose above such
anonymity.
Moore acted as her leading man.
Their love on the screen soon be-
came the love of their life. 1t was
while in Havana with the Biograph
company that Moore proposed and
was accepted. When she accepted
Moore. Miss Pickford accepted the
Catholic church.
Film folk saw in the union a per-
feet mating. They returned to their
work before the camera. Day by
day the fame of Owen Moore's tai
.ented young wife grew. But the
folk on the lot saw that the true
measure of happiness was not yet
to be Mary's. Ugly rumors and ma
licious stories began to circulate.
1t soon became known that what
had started out as glittering romance
was ending in chickering's and quar-
rels.
About this time another star be-
