Most luck is really hard work but
there is such thing as meeting op-
portunity face to face and reeogni2-
ing it as did Esther Ralston. star
Of the Paramount picture "The
Spotlight which will be shown at
the Valley Theatre again tonight.
1t is a story of the stage that in
many ways is the tale of Miss Rails
ton S own life. And in the lives of
both Esther Ralston and Lizzie
Stokes, the girl she portrays in "Thc
Spotlight opportunity played i
great part.
10th Esther and Lizzie sought
fame on the speaking stage, and
both found the road to success a
rough one. When just a girl in her
teens, Miss Ralston sat one night in
her dingy dressing room in a small
city theater and wept bitter tears of
loneliness and encouragement.
The Lizzie Stokes of the picture
sits in just such a dressing room in
a small city theatre identical to the
one in which Esther Ralston thought
her heart was breaking and weepS
bitterly. She is lonely and discourag-
Cd and the silver lining that is sup
posed to brighten dark clouds is
not visible.
While Miss Ralston waited with
her aunt on a moving picture SET
a few years ago, the director, Lois
Weber, saw her.

her first chance before the cameras
The similarity between the lives OF
Esther Ralston and of Lizzie Stokes

for the exceptionally powerful per
formance the star is said to give.
