Here Is One Gamble
We'll Worth Risks
To Mr.. Leonard
HOLLYWOOD.

What can probably be recorded
as the longest talent gamble In
Hollywood history is just now be-
ginning to reap returns for Di-
rector Robert z. Leonard.
Studios have been known to sign
promising prospects and train them
for two or even three years before
putting them before the cameras,
paying salary and expenses in the
meantime. But for an individual
director to sign q young hopeful at
the age Of IA, pay her salary and
expense Of voice schooling over q
7-year period, Is just about un-
precedented, as far as we can learn.
That's what Leonard did in the
case Of Marion Bell, 2l-year- -old
soprano, whose contract with him
has just been taken over by the
M-G-M Studio. Leonard first heard
Marion sing when he and Mrs.
Leonard were visiting at the home
Of the girls parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
Francis Bell. That was in 1896.
The director was so impressed with
her voice and talent that he offered
to sponsor her training for a career
In opera. Since then. Marion, at
Leonard's expense. has studied
voice under several world famous
tutors.
She was born in st. Louis, NO.,
and was educated at the Presenta-
ton Academy in San Francisco and
Hammond Hall in Los Angeles. Her
musical studies have taken her to
France, Spain, Switzerland and
Italy. Leonard is confident his z
year gamble will pay dividends, now
that his own studio has promised
to keep her busy in musical produc-
tions during 1914
