FINDS PEOPLE MORE
FRANK AND SINCERE.

People are more human now than
ever before" declared Mae Marsh,
the popular cinema actress. at the
New willard. .'Iou needn't smile.
for ! mean human In q very good
sense I don't mean that people are
more susceptible to weakness and
what have been termed human
frailties' than ever before, but
mean that thsy are more natural.
more frank and sincere. less artif-
cial and less giacialiy conventional
in short, II seems to me that the
people of today are willing to admit
that they are human beings pos
sessing faults as well as virtues,
and are not some kind of artificial.
superficial creature smothered by
convention and a veneered outward
Sc mblance Of virtue"
Miss Marsh. who is known In pri-
vate life as Mrs. Arms, is very happy
that she is of the present generation
with its privileges and possibilities.
woMAN's SPHERE
HAS BRoADENED.
81 think the days of our grand
mothers and the early days of our.
mothers must have been terribly de-
pressing.e continued Miss Marsh.
Just think of having nothing to
do but get married and then spend
the rest of ones life forced to be
absorbed In the demands of house
keeping. Oh. think housekeeping
has place in every woman's life.
but I think II has become more of
an art now and Is much less abhor-
rent since a woman's life and In
lie n he
ned by that interest alone. This
broadening of woman's sphere has
improved man. woman and the fam
lily tremendously, and has made the
home-life of the average family
much more interesting.
No. / don't see any reason why a
woman can't be equally successful
with a career and a family" said
Miss Marsh. TT all depends on the
woman. II a woman has the urge
to do something along some special
line, think she should develop that
inclination regardless If any opposi-
tion. / am thankful that my mother
Is OF the modern type and believed
In fostering my early desire for the
stage, for her approval and support
has made IL much easier for me 10
realize my ambition to do that which
l feel l was born to do.
CoMMENDs NURSES
FOR CHILDREN's CARE.
In pursuing my profession !
don't feel that / am neglecting Mary
Francis, my two-year-old daughter.
1t is true that I am away from her
more than I would like at times
for instance now-but she IL with
her father and a very competent
nurse. 1 sometime think that some
nurses are better for the care of
children than some mothers-I hone
this statement isn't applicable to me.
What j really mean Is that when a
mother has the entire responsibility
of child she is likely to get yery
nervous and irritable at times.
whereas IL her time is divided be-
tween career and children, and N
the mother Is at all wise. the chill
dren will profit by this divided in
terest. Then. in later years. the
mother who has definite outside
interest will probably be more com
panionable to her growing anu
grown-up children. She will have
kept more vitality in touch with life
and will be interested in conyersing
on other topics than darning socks,
washing pots and pans, dusting,
cooking and so forth"
SISTER ACTS As
HER MANAGER.
Miss Marsh has been appearing in
person at the Strand. A very great
aid In getting her there on time has
been her young, short haired, pretty
sister who acts as her manager, ana
VINO insists that Mae is the swee,.
est dearest. most attractive girl in
the world with the darlingest baby
that ever was seen"
When asked concerning her future
plans Miss Marsh replied that she
was going on the legitimate stage

MISS Marsh, for one grows weary !
OF acting for the movies. 1t is such
hard work and lacks the inspiration
