Helen Rays Rise From
Stenographer's Desk to
Stardom on the Screen

When Helen Ray, modest little
girl of eighteen, travelled the SUBJ
way from her home in Brooklyn to the
Paramount motion picture studio ON
Long Island to seek work as a stenog-
rapher, clerk or in whatever position
she might fit, little did she think of e.
career. Her cnly thought was work
and weekly pay envelope that would
be sufficient for her living expenses.
To-day, after six months experience
IN the studio, she has risen from con-
tinuity clerk to movie actress. She
has put aside the telltale pencil and
stenographer's pad and is now inter
preting the part of Intoxicati in
George Fitzmaurice's production of
Experience" the we'll known stare
play from the pen of George v. Ho-
bart.
The story of Helen Ray is one of
those tales that are stranger than f;c
tion. She was catapuIted into fame
and -perhaps-just like all
girls Of eighteen hope to be. Fortune
smiled on her and when the opportu-
nifty knocked she was not found want
ing. She had latent talent for acting
and the canera-a merciless critic
was kind to her, If cameras can be
kind. She screened we'll, as they saw
in the movie studios, and to-day she is
on her way to place among film ac-
tresses--a place envied by millions of
girls and young women.
"A new lens for motion picture cam
era brought Miss Ray her chance.

lyn was q blonde little sprite viii
such clear, sweet soprano voice tb,f
folk predicted great things for her
Her mother was the most ardent bel;ev.
er in her ability, which has meant
great deal in the fullfillment of Caro-
iyn's dream of success in the theater
A mothers enthusiasm meant musical
training for the little girl in those not
so far away schooldays and aided Caro-
lyn to become leading spirit of ANA
teur musical and theatrical entertain
ments in her home city.
Miss Thomson made her first appear
ahce as a slim sailor boy in an anna.
teur performance of "The Chimes Of
Normandy" A bit later she sang
solo in semi-professional production
of "The Talk of the Town" directed
by Donald Macdonald. Nine Melba
heard her sing little later in Denver
and wrote Nine. Farrar that Miss
Thomson is charming girl with a
nice, fresh, limpid and very well
trained voice."
After such praise from the great
diva it was decided that Miss Thom-
son should come to New York In the
~ l
seemed that ali the rough places had
should travel in advance of her COM
ing to New York, for almost imme-
diately after her arrival in this city
she had an opportunity to sing for
Joseph Bickerton jr. Mr.. Bickerton
engaged her to sing the title role in
"Adele" at the Gaiety Theater, Lon
don. That was the beginning Of the
coming true' part of Carolyn's fairy
tale, for of all the musical comedies
she had ever heard she liked adele
best.
She was surer still of her fairy god
mother when the very next day Miss
| Thomson received a gracious note from
Melba, who had been in the audience
| the evening of her London debut. Once
more the diva praised the voice Of
the American girl. There was long
run of adele" in the British metropo-
lis, which was repeated in the United
| States.
After "Adele" Miss Thomson sang
the leading role in "The Star Gazer,s
by Franz Lehar. The Shuberts then
engaged her to head their Chicago
company in "Maytime." This organ
ization achieved such popularity that
it was brought to New York despite
the long run "Maytime" had previously
had here with another company.
After "Maytime," Miss Thomson
sang another appealing score in the
title part of "Little Miss Simplicity
After all, what is to prevent Carolyn
Thomson's believing in fairies?
