MacLean said, "and told Maude Adams about 1t and she begged me not to do so--but the of fer was very flattering and I could scarcely resist it and so kept think ing of 1t, but in the mean time was just about to sign up with Margaret Anglin, who was about to produce one of her lovely plays"

 on again, off again, Finne.gan,' ' he laughingly quoted, land finally I went with David Griffith and playe in The Hun Within which I enjoyed immensely. Of course I missed the stage-I always shall--for there is much about the legitimate stage which is fascinating, but at the same time pictures are wonderfully inter esting: from the very beginning with the scenario writers discussing and arranging titles and subtitles; with the cameramen; putting the scenes together, making a consecutive story; then with the cutters and finally seeing yourself on the screen and criticizing your own work. It's inn mense.
 T have enjoyed playing with many delightful picture stars, but none more charming and attractive than Mary Pickford. I have the distinction of having played in two pictures con secutively with her as leading man something nobody else has ever done. She is the Maude AdamsA of the screen; everybody loves her and ev- erybody admires her. Ridiculous stories are told of her about her tenn per and her temperament and all that, but l worked for three months in one picture with her and I can positively say it is not true.
 They must tell omething about us." MT. MacLean, I've are targets for the public and I shall never for | get when friend of mine out in al l. one day when I was playing in the Cliver Morosco stock company and told me of conversation she'd heard between two girls about me who were sitting in front of her. They had said they liked me and enjoyed my work and all that but h-u-h-h. tell 1t not in Gath; they do say he has had three wives and that he has a fiendish te4Lper. I had never had one wife, much less three at that time and as for my temper-well I hope 1t isn't any worse than anybody s else. But it just goes on to prove how we are talked about
 Tn regard to censorship" MT. Mac- Lean said, the best stars in pie. tures--those of us who have high ideals and the right standards do not wish to appear in pictures which have to be censored. Often producers are the guilty ones and not the ac- tors who take part. A producer like Thomas Ince would never stoop to maudlfn. morbid, unwholesome pie lures to attract; nor would David Wark Griffith; it is only the spec tacular producers those who wish to attract and can't do it any other way, who fall to the level of such things. The case of Clara Smith-the cfrl who killed Hamon-as an example, No reputable producer would even listen to picturixing such an awful tragedy. It was completely ignored when 1t was mentioned. No--the best pictures are those which are bright and happy--artistic and beautiful and just as plays need no censor when they are the right sort of plays, so pictures do not need to be censored If they are the proper sort of pie tures."

Chatting With Douglas MdcLedn

IN7T1TH the thermometer al, N 'umpty steen in the shade and the rays of June sun beat
 ing down like mad. chat with Douglas MacLean the handsome young
 cinema star who is a visitor to Bir
 mingham, which I enjoyed yesterday,
 reminded me of a refreshing lemon
 ade with long slim straw in it. delicious, cooling. delightful, after a fearful. awful thirst.
 Want to know what he looks like really and truly" and how he was dressed and all that7 Of course you do and here goes; he's just as | handsome as his pictures make him. the cleanest cut and most immacu-
 lately dressed young gentleman you could imagine.
 Tn a suit of light tan-sort of a pongee once removed-with a snow white shirt with soft cuffs and iha Lord be praised a stiff collar and hobby tic, Mir. MacLean presented d stunning picture as he cordially greeted me after the long dusty tire some trip from California to Ala bama--six hot summer days and nights in the making.
 Douglas MacLean is just boy with boyish manners and boyisn ideas, combined with an experience on the stage and in the picture, which would register opposite the name of a man much older than he Is, and when he told me that his father was a Methodist minister and that he was a native Philadel- phian, I gasped, wondering how the Il. %I.tx ~-tx Methodist preacher and a home town as slow as Philadelphia could possibly produce an actor, a movie star!
 Tt was purely an accident I as sure you," said young MT. MacLean. his brown eyes twinkling with gAee and his smile. which is quite ire :. sistible revealing crescent of the most adorably snow white teeth you ever beheld-real moving picture teeth'' and smile and coal black hair and all--he possesses you know. "I was in the stock and bond business in Philadelphia after I left college and was going to Europe for my summer vacation. l went to New York to meet the young fellow witf, whom I was to make the trip, and finding that he was i'll l decided to spend my three months vacation n New 4orK. met MT.

Frohman was put A1g on. After doing so I wrote to my father and told him of my in- tentions and post haste wire came saying he'd be in New York the next day"
 He came and saw, but I con uuered, or at least persuaded said MT. MacLean, and I convinced my father that it wasn't such an awful thing to be an actor and that if he wanted me to I'd change my nans and not disgrace the family history by using the name, but he was a good sport and said there was noth- ing to be ashamed of if I kept the name clean and white, which promised him I'd do and I have faithfully kept my word"
