Miss May, who has been seen in
many charmingly girlish roles of
the chic, drawing room type, IS an
assiduous student of the drama.
She has read all worth while on
the subject from the Greeks to
George Jean Nathan, but in all her
research she never read anything
about broncho busting. That is
why she was not fully prepared
for her directors unexpected in
structions to ride out in front of
cattle stampede with Wheeler
Oakman, jump her horse from a
rocky cliff into a deep pool OF
water and do other such diverting
stunts for arts sake.
Her determination overcame her
lack of experience and technique,
and she came through successfully,
although she acknowledged it was
the" experience of her life.

Lowell Sherman in MOLLY o."

Girls, do, you remember that
lovely villain in Way Down East"2
Do YOU remember how you liked
him Just about as we'll as any hero?
Well, he's going to appear in an
other movie villain part in the Sen
nett comedy drama Molly o.
Lowell Sherman, by the way, is a
direct descendent from the golden
age" OF American drama, the days
when there were giants of tragedy
on the boards. Kate Gray was Lo-
well Shermans grandmother. She
was prominent in the cast OF Junius
Brutus Booth and went with that
great actor to San Francisco to
make theatrical history in the west
Later when Edwin Booth made his
memorable tour of the mining
camps Of California she accompan-
led him in prominent roles, appear
ing as Ophelia in Hamlet" when
the younger Booth was taking
Hamlet" to the faro dealers, the
players. the miners and the sturdy
adventurers that were building up
a western empire -
were prominent in San Francisco
theatrical life, the former as stage
director and the latter, tilLher mar
riage, as actress. Lowell was born
in San Francisco. bat ne spent ms
early boyhood in New York.
Not until recently has Sherman
appeared on the screen, he having
been for many years a New York
favOrite. For eight consecutive sea-
sons he was not permitted to leave
Broadway, combining his continuous
services TO the best of Gotham S
drama. D. W Griffith lured him
from the footlights to assume an
important role in Way Down East"
This gave him Immediate and
wide film fame. and now he is with
Sennett and admits that he wants
to stay in films.
