Buchowetski is producing. had her first
role in a Famous Players picture with
Pauline Frederick, in '"The Spider" :"
made in 1917 by Robert Vignola. Other
pictures in which she has appeared are
Seventeen" with Jack Picixford when
Knighthood Was in Flower" 'Yolanda,' -

Murray and Marguerite Clark produc-
uons.

having made the longest jump on rec
ord in the theatrical profession, when in
1911 she went from Jacksonville, Fla,
whero she was playing in one-reel
Kalem picture. to Jerusalem and the
Holy Land, and under the direction of
Sidney Olcott she appeared in From
the Manger OF the Cross" Miss Lind

Successful In Dual Role.

MARION FAIRFAX, editorial di-
A'A rector Of First National Produc-
tions, is an example of a woman who
successfully manages both the com =
plexities of career and home.
Besides heading the First National
scenario staff and having many stage
and screen plays to her credit, Miss
Fairfax in private life successfully
handles the role of Mrs. Tully Mar
shall, wife of the character star.
1t is an arduous life, this dual role,
according to the gifted writer, be-
cause the preparation of screen con-
tinuities requires exhaustive, time
consuming effort. Miss Fairfax does
a great deal of her work at home, but
she finds the companionship of her
husband and his counsel a source of
stimulation both in her domestic life
and her work.
AS editorial head of First National
Productions, Miss Fairfax is one of
the highest-salaried women in the
world. She was born in Richmond.
Va, and was graduated from Emer-
son College, Boston.
Before entering the film field she
was well known as a writer Of stage
plays She has several New York
hits to her credit, including THE
Builders" 1.-THE Chaperon," "The
Talker," MRS. Boltays Daughters'
and The Ways and Means"
