Agnes Ayres Finds Stardom
in Movies an Erdcting Job

CCREEN stardom has its drawbacks.
~ At least, that Is that conclusion OF
Agnes Ayres after few short weeks
of life following her elevation to stellar
heights. While stardom naturally is the
goal Of every ambitious actor or actress
and gives genuine opportunity to the
artist, It has its accompanying respon-
sibilities which no player realizes until
stardom actually IL achieved.
ITS rush, rush, rush from early
morning until late at night" says the
newest feminine star. "Whilc all the
work is pleasant, there Is so much of

twenty four hour day and still find a

who has just completed his fourth
special with Anita Stewart as the star,
'ibut romance with action-with real
love and the clean wholesomeness which
made the poet shg so long ago that all
the world loves lover. "
Mr.. Carewe has gone East primarily
to arrange for series of independent
productions which he will begin in
about four weeks. He expects to make
the first of these in the East, because
the entire locale is Of the Maine and
New England Coast.
The last picture this director made
with Miss Stewart was "a Question of
Honor" Previous to that he made
"Playthings of Destiny" "The In
visible Fear" and Something Money
Can't Buy" with the same star. His
most notable productions in the last
two years are "Rio Grande" and
"Isobel."

CLYCERINE TEARS

For n time this substitute for the

actresses, but according to statisticians
of the Lasky studio in Hollywood, the
glycerine tear is here to stay.
The property man who carries the
glycerine bottle and eye dropper at the
studio is an ardent supporter of the
artificial tear, and he says that no mat

but artificial tears, but later. when q

But / am not going to enlarge on that
subject just now.
To return to my pictures: the par
ticular one which was being shown
last night was called MARY, Queen
of Scots 1t was made up of the
most picturesque and-if I may coin
a word-picturable incidents in the life
of that unhappy and unfortunate Queen,
beginning with her, a care free, light
hearted girl at the court Of France,
when the world must have seemed an
enchanted place to one of her pleasure
craving nature. The all too brief days
of her happy first marriage were shown
in series of really lovely scenes.
Then came the tragic one of the
death of the poor little boy king. And
that reminds me; H persists in
poking fun at me because l am deter
mined to do Catherine de Medicis one
of these days. The reading 1 have
done has convinced me thH she could
be made a sympathetic figure. l would
not present her as that sinister and
masterful woman who stalks across the
pages of history, stained with crime.
But even so, her crimes were more
political than personal. and she lived
in bloody age, and fought with the
same weapons which her enemies used.
But I would show her as n woman who
for long years was made to suffer both
in her love and in her pride.
But to return to Mary Stuart. The
most striking, perhaps, OF all the, pic
lures was the one showing her departure
from Calais for Scotland. 1t was a
perfect triumph for H. The last
word in moving picture art. feel sure
that he felt repaid for all the labor
and trouble he had put on it. For, it
is needless to add that II backed
me to the limit In my most extravagant
and ambitious schemes. Without his
sympathy and support, could have ac-
complished nothing.
