an eight year absence from the

attention to her husband and three

lures at the old Biograph studios at
the age of IA, and made her first
big hit in The Birth of Nation"
under d. w. Griffith. Her last pic
ture, made in 1923, was "The White
Rose"
A powerful factor in lur.ng her
back TO the films, was the desire of
her eldest daughter, Mary, II, to
hear her mothers voice on the
screen, Miss Marsh laughingly ad-
mitted.
II have been afraid of the talk
ies,' she said, but having seen the
silent version of over the Hill at
least a half dozen times, loved it
and knew / could handle the part
given to me. So / accepted"
Miss Marsh is the wife of Lee

Their three children are Mary, IL,
Brewster, 5, and Marguerite. 2. The
smallest child was named for Miss
