How | Broke Into
The Movies e,f1,;rt: s.i G.. BY

By MARY PICKFORD

a n INSIGNIFICANT little street
car transfer turned Mary Pick
ford'S career from the stage to
worldwide fame on the screen.
On her way to a theatrical book
Ing agency in the Times square
district, Mary, at her mothers be-
hest, stopped in the old Biograph
studio on Fourteenth street, New
York, before using the transfer.
Thus in a nutshell, you have the
story of the rise of Mary Pickford.
Her theatrical career began In the
Valentine Stock company in the city
of Toronto, Canada, where she was
born. Her first appearance on the
speaking stage was made at the age
of five, when she took the part Of
a boy in a play called THE Silver
King"
At the age of eight, Americas
Sweetheart" went on the road with
"The Little Red SchoolhOuse," and
at the age of nine Mary was starred
in ''The Fatal Wedding" in the part
of Jessie the little mother. When
but eleven she was appearing
with Chauncey Olcott in Edmund
Burke"
To Miss Pickford belongs the
honor of originating the part of
Betty Warren in THE Warrens Of
Virginia." David Belasco produc-

ton which was her first play on
Broadway.
From Belasco's management, she
went into motion pictures, but let
her tell the story in her own words
at this point.
you see," she said, Il did not
think much of the movies at that
time. In fact, people on the legiti-
mate stage considered it a disgrace
to work in pictures. But my moth
er had asked me to go to the Bio
graph studio on Fourteenth street
and try to see Mr. Griffith. Although
l demurred, she insisted, and of
course, l could not disObey. But l
took the precaution to route my trip
so that l could make five cents do
the work of ten. Those were times
when five cents was always doing
the work of ten.
Instead of taking street car
from where we lived on Fourteenth
W
the car on Fourteenth and asked
for a transfer The old Biograph
studio was on Fourteenth street be-
tween Broadway and Fifth avenue.
Thus, when l had satisfied mother
by dropping in at the studio, could
walk back to Broadway and use my
transfer to ride to the Times square
and the theatrical district where the
booking offices were located.
Il felt certain that in the end it
would be necessary to visit the book
ing offices to obtain another theat-
rical engagement, which at that mo-
ment I needed very badly. Imagine
cred into the august presence of Mr..
Griffith who. after a short talk, gave
me my first motion picture engage
ment"
From such a simple beginning, a
new figure in world history was
born. Even today few people realize
how far into the distant corners of
the earth our Mary's popularity has
reached. Her mail brings letters in
nearly every language. Further
more, Miss Pickford Is the only
woman in motion pictures who is
socially hOnored by the real royal
ties of Europe When she travels
people at every station crowd the
platform for a glimpse Of her. And
with all this she is a charming, visit
full young woman, happy In the lOye
Of devoted husband. Still there
are many simple pleasures which
she has had to do without. pleas
ures which her less famous neigh
bors accept as a matter of course.
You may wonder from this if she
is happy with her lot. The answer
is yes. But even the reason for
her being happy in spite of missing
things which other people enjoy. is
in itself a simple thing. Her work
makes others happy. Therein lies
her compensation. She has learned
that service to others is the one
coin that pays the debts we owe
our hearts.

Fishermen are Urged
Prepare For Hearing

Mayor Dalgity, impressed by the
benefits which may result from the
hearing on fishery matters which
Commissioner Frank Bell is holding
next Sunday at Wrangell has ad
dressed the following letter to the
fishermen of this district.
To Wrangell Fishermen:
Your attention is called to the
fact that the new L. S. Commission
er of Fisheries, Frank T. Bell. will
be in Wrangel next Sunday to hold
a hearing at which every one inter
ested in fishery matters is invited
to be present.
l should like to urge the differ
ent groups of fishermen to get to-
gether in preliminary meetings and
thoroughly thresh out before the
Sunday meeting what they wish
to present to the commissioner for
his consideration for the mutual
welfare of the fishermen and the
fishing industry.
Mr.. Bells time will probably be
somewhat limited. He cannot afford
to take time for the threshing out
of opinions in his presence. He has
made it clear that he wishes the
viewpoint of every interested per-
son but we should be considerate
and not waste his time.
1t is my suggestion that every
one attend the meeting but have it
pretty we'll settled beforehand who
is to do the talking Have your reso-
buttons and requests ready to pre-
sent and in that way the purpose
of the meeting will be expedited.

TRUITT ADVISES ISSUANCE FISHING
LICENSES TO FILIPINOS IN ALASKA

withdrawal of the Pacific Steam
ship Lines steamers from Alaska,
the company was urged to have the
steamers on the southwest service,
stop at Wrangell southbound. The
statements were made that Wran-
CELL fish buyers claimed present
schedules offered insufficient sery-
ice for marketing fresh fish profit
ably, and that southbound calls
would give tourists better oppor-
tunity to visit places of interest.
L. W. Baker. general freight and
passenger agent of Alaska Steam
ship Coh9any in his answer to the
secretary said in part:
I wish there was some way We
could figure the routing of the SIS
Aleutian and the SIS Yukon when
they are on the two week turn
around so that We could serve
Wrangell and Petersburg with these
steamers. Up to the present time
We have not been able to work this
feature out satisfactorily. | am sure
you can appreciate that twelve
days is a pretty close schedule for
the SIS Aleutian and SIS Yukon.
Every hour counts, as it would be
almost a physical impossibility to
keep these ships on schedule if they
would ever get off schedule. We
eliminated Petersburg call entirely
on the SIS Aleutian and SIS Yukon,
and we eliminated the Wrangell call
southbound in order to save a few
hours and help us keep them on
schedule.
We certainly would welcome the
day when We would get so much
business for our Saturday sailings
that We would have to put one more
boat on the Seward run, making
three in all, and give them each
three weeks to make the round trip,
but unfortunately the business has
dropped off to such an extent that
there really is not a sufficient
amount offering to justify two
boats on the Seward schedule, This
dropping off in business has been
caused by present economic condi-
tions. by the privately owned can
merry ship taking business away
from us, and by the small gasboat
However, in spite of all this, |
assure you that we appreciate your
present predicament. and will see
if there is not some way that We
can scheme to give you the SIS
Aleutian and SIS Yukon southbound
I will advise you definitely regard
ing this in a short time"
