LAWRENCE, Mass, October "a
Sixteen boys, whose ages ranged from
8 to II years, alleged members of the
Young Pioneers" were taken into
custody early yesterday by police who
have patrolled the mill districts Of this
city during strike Of $4,000 textile
operatives. The Young Pioneers" police
said, is juvenile Communist organi-
cation.
The boys were creating a disturbance
with dishpans, horns and other noise
making devices, police said, ostensibly
for the purpose of arousing strikers for
picket duty at the mills. A group OF
boys of the same organization was dis
perscd yesterday while singing and pa
rading near mill.
After taking the youths to police
headquarters, the officers notified their
parents who later took them home
They were warned against further
demonstrations.

arithmetic, fencing instead of geogra-
ply. She received passes to the best
theaters, for it was a part Of her edu-
cation to study great actors and
actresses.
The instructors soon recognized the
talent lying dormant in Greta. The
directors Of the school believed that the
best way to bring out real talent in a
student was to give actual experience
with instruction. Greta, with several
others from her class, was engaged as
contract pupil" at $40 a month.
Now, chile she was "tudying, she took
part in actual performances given in
the Royal Dramatic Theater.
In the Spring Of 1923 Gustaf Nolan
der, director of the school, advised
Greta to see the motion picture direc-
tor, Mauritz Stiller, who was looking
for talented beginners. Mr.. Stiller pre-
ferred to mold clever noviceS rather
than to work with those wise from years
of experience. He was about to start
production on the biggest picture he
had ever made, Costa Behring'S Saga"
Greta called on Mr.. Still.r one night
after school. He looked her up and
down. Bluntly he asked her to remove
her coat and hat. Then he told her to
put them back on again. After asking
few questions he let her know that he
was ready to have her leave. She felt
she had failed to impress him.
Role Appeared Silly.
But in three days Greta had word
that Mr.. Stiller wanted her to report to
the Rasunda Film City for test. She
rode out there on the street car. She
was nervous and frightened at the
thought of making a motion-picture
test. Greta was sent to set, where
Mr. Stiller was waiting for her After
looking her over he abruptly pointed to
a-bed and ordered. Lie down and be
sick" She lay down, but it seemed so
silly to her that she couldn't for the
life of her pretend that she was sick.
Suddenly Mr.. Stiller stood over her.
For heavens sake. don't you know
what it Is to be sick?" he asked.
Greta realized that this was seri-
Gus business. Although confused and
self-conscious she tried her best to
imagine that she was desperately i'll.
After that was over she waited Tor
something else. But that was all. Mr..
Stiller told her she could 60 home.
A few days later she received word
that she had been chosen to play the
part Of Countess Elizabeth Donna in
Costa Behring'S Saga"

Greta Carlo had lots Of fun making
her first picture in Sweden. 1t was 6
small part, but it looked very big to her
AS one Of three bathing girls she at
tracted little attention. But because
she had lost her position in the depart
ment store and was SO eager to gel
work in pictures the director promised
to give her another part soon.
While making this picture she real
lied that before she could expect tc
get very far on either stage or screen
suited Frans EnWall, q private coach in
drama, on how to go about it.
Mr.. Enwall saw the unusual charm
and beauty OF this girl. He saw a great
future for her if she had the daofrmi-
nation and courage to apply her~lf to
serious study. He suggested that she
prepare herself to take the test to enter
the Royal Dramatic School.
Prepares for School.
In Sweden an actor must first attend
the dramatic school-a part of the
Royal Theater-before he can appear
upon the stage. But before a person
can enter this school he must pass a
test proving he has the necessary ability
and talent. Those who pass receive a
scholarship that entities them to in
struction without charge.
Mr.. Enwall offered to help Greta
prepare for the examination. She threw
herself into the work. She would be II
in September. The test was set for
August. If she passed. she would have
a three-year scholarship in one OF the
finest dramatic schools in the world.
She was determined she would not fail.
When Greta's turn came to speak
her lines on the day of the test, her
knees trembled so she scarcely had
strength to carry herself out on the
stage. She went through her act as
though in a trance. AS she left the
stage she nearly collapsed. But she
soon pulled herself together and hur-
ried home and into bed, where she lay
awake all night. hoping and praying
she had proved herself worthy to enter
the school.
The next day passed and there was
no word from the theater. The second
day passed without sign. Greta had
begun to give up hope when there was
a telephone call saying that her name
was among those entered on the rolls

hadn't known life could be so happy.
