Speaking OF her triumph, Mr.. Be-
lasco, who was the least surprised. said ::
1t was the wealth Of Imagination
detected in Frances Starr's acting the

at once of the possibilities in store for
her If she were properly directed.

the stars if only she would prove
strong enough, physically, for the

than she what effort it would cost,
What trying experiences were ahead Of
her. She was q frail girl, with a highly
stfung, nervous temperament, and
decided that what She needed most at
the outset was to be built up in health.
AS result of my first interview with
Ter after her contract had been signed.
| Instructed her to consult physician
and engage trained nurse When |
,old her | must insist upon prescribing
her diet and regulating her physical
exercise, she was inclined at first to
resent interference in her persona! af-
iairs. Quite naturally, she had sun
osed that my sole requirement of her
would be to act. But when | explained
'he long rehearsals that are prelimi-
nary to my productions and showed
her the need of sound physical
foundation for the nervous energy |
would require her to exert, she began
to appreciate better the wisdom of
n'y suggestions. For many weeks all
asked hcr to do was to eat nutritious
lood, drink milk, take daily exercises
NJ the open air and 90 to bed early.
rms was actually the beginning Of the
MAKING OF Miss Starr into the splendid
"ctress She has since become"

was followed by her assumption of the
role of the child-mother in Edward
knoblock's drama, "Marie~ Odile."
Next she hridgod the chasm between
drama and comedy in little LADY in

following season she devoted all of her
energy to the war activities Of several
reliet associations, returning to the
stage again as Sally in Edward Knob

What Happened to Jones
I'm the Last Decade
Sounds Like Fiction

Within the last three months nearly
| every picture person we have met has
asked of us, "Do you know Richard
Jones ?" or "Do you know Jonesy, who
is directing Dorothy Gish?" 1t began
to look as though not to know Jonesy
argued ones self unknown, so we ex-
cused ourself by saying, "But, you
know, I've been away for six months"
When we inquired we learned that
Richard Jones was about to go into the
! West, but hadn't yet done so. SO we
looked him up. He was living at the
Waldorf, and he Immediately asked us
over to dinner so that we might meet
Mrs. Jones. Well, Mrs. Jones is the
most perfect beauty you ever saw. 1t
seems a shame to waste such lovelness
and not have it immortalized on the
screen, but Mr.. Jones won't hear of it.
Mr.. Jones is now only twenty-six
years old, and Mrs. Jones is several
years younger. She really looks like
Mary Pickford and Mildred Harris and
Elsie Ferguson and Katherine Mac
Donald all rolled into one.
This story was to be about Mr.. Jones
and his achievements, but, then, surely
winning Mrs. Jones is the greatest of
these, and they confessed that they
were still on their honeymoon.
Richard Jones was born in ST. Louis
just about the time that motion pic
|, lures were born. Along about the time
that young Dick was ready to work mo-
tion pictures were waiting for him, and
lie never has worked at any other busi-
ness. He obtained his first position with
0. 7. Crawford, who at that time con-
tlolled a chain Of theaters in St Louis
and who was owner of the Atlas Pro
ducing Company. Dicks first work
was connected with the filming of q
Jesse James series of "fillems" That
was nine years ago.
But young Jones had the wanderlust
and he went out to the Coast on a
chance, leaving perfectly good job bes
hind him. Mack Sennett was waiting
for him, however, and he started as
film cutter, and before long he was
head of his department, and soon was
writing those subtitles which helped
to make the cid Sennett comedies ia
nous.
Then came mickey" to star Mabel
Normand. Five directors fell down on
director and gave him mickey" to do
mickey" proved to be the biggest
thing in super-farccs and the name Of
Joros became immortal
When Dorothy Gish left D. w. Grit
fth, Mr. Jones was chosen to direct
her. She made three pictures before
she went to Europe. The first is
"Flying Pat" and the other two are
still unnamed.
And then Mr.. Sennett wired that he
was waiting for him again on the Coast.
Mr. Jones joined him there and found

Equity Ball Brings
Actors and Managers
Very Much Closer

The Actors Equity Association will
hold its annual ball this year at the
Hotel Astor on November 20. A COM
mittee of more than two hundred rep
resentative theatrical folk is in charge
Of the affair. Advance sales are said to
be very satisfactory, totaling more than
$1,000 to date. Many osthe boxes have
already been sold, and the committee
feels the demand points to substan-
tial increase over the receipts of last
years ball.
That Sam Harris, president of the
Producing Managers Association, was
the first one to buy a box is taken by
some as an indication OF the increased
entente cordiaie between Equity and
the managers. Others who have re-
served boxes are Constance and Norma
Talmadge, Hope Hampton, Vivian Mar
tin, Florence Reed, Rosetta and Vivian
Duncan, Frank Case, Irving Berlin,
