ORPHAN MAKES
HIS NAME IN
FILMS

! Few persons are aware Of the
fact that Monte Blue, the screen
actor, like Babe" Ruth, the Ia
NOUS baseball star, was raised in
an orphans. home, and like the
great Bambino, achieved his pres
ent eminence despite an early
environment that has come to be
regarded dis more or less Of a
handicap. incidentally, he got his
chance In pictures through y. w.
Griffith, who has started so many
on the road to screen fame.
When Monte left the orphans
home, he knocked about the world
as sailor, soldier and just plain
laborer. He had previously worked
his way thrugh an Indiana high
school and Purdue University,
but the wide world lureds him and
he wanted to travel. One day,
while employed as laborer at
the Griffith studio, Monte made
q speech to his co-workers.
Unknown to Monte, d. w. Grit.
fifth heard part OF the speech,
and was impressed with his ora.
torical ability. Griffith in those
days picked his embryo stars in
the raw and he didn't stop be-
cause Monte had no theatrical
training. He simply hired him to
do a stump speakers part in a
picture, and so well did Monte
harangue the mob of movie extras
that years later, when Griffith
Z was looking around for Danton
for Orphans of the Storm" he
picked out Monte for the part.
The rest, Of course, is history.
6 Blue makes his latest screen
appearance in Washington to.
morrow in Revelation, " at Loves
Palace.
