Mary Hay Got Start
In Midnight Frolic'

Just three years ago a little girl with
a sweet smile and an oddly protruding
forehead caught the fancies of the peo-
pie attending the Ziegfeld Midnight
Frolic" and the Mine O'Clock Revue"
Mary Hay was her name. She hailed
from Oshkosh. Wis, which might have
been enough to dampen the ardor of
many maiden. But not Mary. Being
born in an Army garrison. the daughter
of Northumberland Of the regular
army, gave the little girl a confidence
through even the fippancy greeting her
home town.
Mary came forth on the stage and
danced a little dance and all the time
she stepped about a little dog was at

lengthy string. For while II was not
quite certain whether the girl or the
dog was making the hit. But a few
nights after the opening Mr.. Ziegfeld
discovered 1t was the girl Offers be-
gan to come to her, and before she had
been on the roof more than ten days
she was an established favorite with
New York's late theater goers and sup

Way Down East" picture There Mary
met the handsome and popular "Dick''
Barthelmess and before way Down

Mamaroneck, N. Y, the little "Frolic''
lady became Mrs. Richard Barthelmess.
New York is taking an unusual in
terest in this popular bride and BRIDE
groom, especially since Mrs. Barthel-
mess is one of the featured players in
Russell Janney's new musical play,
"Marjolaine," at the Broadhurst The
alter.
IL Is doubtful whether in or out OF

Screen Thrills Not

Garlic Laemle Tells of His
Troubles Screening Fool

Hundreds of thrills are photographed
every year In the making of motion pic
lures; heroines undergo great dangers
heroes effect wonderful escapes. villains
have all kinds of retributions heapef
upon them-yet all of these thrills in
the making of a motion picture do not
compare for one moment with the ex-
cfteent of actually showing the COM
pleted picture on Broadway for the
first time
So says Carl Laemmle, producer Of
Foolish Wives" the picture now being
shown at the Central Theater. Mr.
Laemmle says that the most exciting
night of his entire career was the night
Foolish Wives" opened there. He said :
II never went through such mental
strain as did then. For days and nights
previous to the opening, the whole staff
of editors cutters, scenarists, advertis-
ing and publicity men, in fact. practi-
cally every department. had been work.
ing to get the picture down to $4,000
feet. Well, we could not get it down
that far in time. So we had to go
ahead with a picture which we knew
was too long. We knew that we would
be criticized for this, but we had to go
ahead rather than postpone the widely
advertised opening performance
las l sat in the theater waiting for
the start. L found myself getting hot
and cold
Il was consumed with fears Would
the orchestra slip up on any of it's
cues? Would the film break? Worst
OF all, would the operator in his own
excitement start with the wrong reel?
Would the critics find any fault except
with the extreme length which we after
ward cut down? Finally. what would
the public's verdict be?
I'VE had worked so hard and long with
the picture and we were so close to 1t
that we had lost all perspective. / never
realized this so keenly as / did when
was listening to the first few bars of
the music. I wished with all my heart
we had first tried the picture on the
dog by taking it to some small town
and seeing the reaction of the audience.
But 1t was too late and I knew it,
my mind suddenly shot back several
years to the night we opened in a
Broadway theatre with our picture,
'Neptune's Daughter with Miss Annette
kellerman. On that night the film
broke four times in quick succession.
Back on the stage Herbert Brenon, who
had almost put his lifeblood into the
directing of the picture. was crying with
disappointment. Suddenly to cap the
climax. the operator ran a whole reel of
film out of its turn and tangled up the
whole story.
