Support of Seli
"You Sec? He Do
By GRACE DARMOND.
My homo is in Chicago. One day
about two years ago I walked intc
tho Chicago stu
dlos of tho Se
lig Polyscope
company. The
Bludios aro not so
vory far away
from my parents'
homo. Maybe
that was the-rca
non I walked into
them. The su
perintendent of
tho Btudios need
ed 'extra people.'
1 had visited the
studios in curios
ity; I remuined
to take part in a
Seilg feature
Olm. That was
thj beginning of my motion picture
career. One must prctogrn;.h well ii:
order to attain any dogroo of success
in motion picturo work. I was told
that I photographed woll. My profile
is clear and my features aro adapt
able to the animated Bcrecn. I was
asked to tako other'minor parts. I
liked tho work?there is a fascina
tion about It?and I accepted.
That was about two years ago. To
day I have tho honor of being as
signed to many Important roles In
Selig Red Seal playa. I havo assumed
leading feminine ports In "A Texas
Staor," "Tho Millionaire Baby." "The
House of a Thousand Candles," "A
Black Sheep," and other productions
which have won further fame for the
8elig company.
1 havo been asked tho reason for my
rapid success In a difficult profession.
Tho only answer that I can give is
'hard work.* There were other inci
dents that also contributed to my suc
cess. Ono of the most important Is
that Col. William N. Sollg,. president
of the company which bears his
n?roo. gives everyone a fair op
portunity. Ho appreciates dose at
tention to work and loyalty on
the part of his employees. I was for
tunato enough to please him and the
directors and was assigned to more
Important roles as time passed, and I
gavo my entire time and thought to
thom.
Perhaps thero Is another Qualifica
tion connected with my promotion
that should be mentioned here. I had
had atago experience. I appeared In
the spoken drama when five years Of
age, taking the title role of Edltha's
Burglar.' Later I appeared In stock
companies. This experience in the
art of acting wan certa'nly of untold
benefit to mo.
; i have been told that I am tho]
youngest leading woman in motion
pictures. Maybe t am, but I have
earnod tho parts I play. Working in
motion pictures ta not pastime?it ts
hard work. In motion pictures, as
elsewhere, work counts. .
Long hours fall to these who en
gago in motion picture' acting. They
report at a Btodio at a certain hour
(a the morninr. They do not-leave
until a certain hour. Their day's work
Is Just like a day's work in any other
occupation In life. In warm weather
the sun beats through tho glass enclos
ure of tho studio and the thermome
ter sometimes registers 160 dogreos.
Perhaps in this warm atmosphere one
must bo compelled to appear as a
character heavily bundled in clothing,
.and you can imaglno one's discomfi
ture.
There are many recompenses, also,
and i think, on tho whole, that the
work la ever so much more enjoyable
than the speaking stage. Girls who
wish to enter motion pictures, how*
ever, should pause and ththk over the
fact that they v are embarking on a
ig Lady in World
xperiences in
ig Movie Stars
es Not Love You!'
career?a branch of nr*. which re
quires talent, Intelligence and hard
work. Thero aro many girls who feel
that if they could only appear before a
camera they would bo an instanta
neous succors, yet who would go to a
business col logo far many months in or
der to become a Gtcuographor. It
stands to reusop If one conBldora that
preparation for jmch a position is nec
essary that ever so much more time
must be dpvote l to learning an art
which entertains misions >-r people
daily. From mV mvn experience I do
not feel Justified in advising any girl
to try to become a scrum actress.
There are times, of course, when I
enjoy tho excitement of being' a
player. An exemple of this was dur
ing tho Aiming of nh? big Selig Red
Seal play "The IIouso ot a Thousand
Candles," at tho* Chicago studio of tho
Selig Polyscope Company. Doubt
less most of my readers hoard of
the big car strike m: Chicago, but few
of them knew what havoc it played
with tho motion picture producers.
Wo had many p)ayors who wore work
ing In tho "Loop," Chicago theatrical
center, ana as the studio is quite a
way from this place, and thero was
no auto service, Mr. William N. Se
lig ordered a huge truck in which all
the players were taken to tho thea
ters in which Uiey were working.
There were other excursions, too,
I during the time I was appearing in
\ "Tho House of a Thousand Candles."
One of theso wae roado to find a
house which would correspond to the
director's ideal ^houBe" in which
tho "thousand candles" were supposed
to bo. All the players who had friends
with homes which might serve the
purpose told the) director about them,
and one day wo all got into a big tour:
ing car and started our search. We
covered almost all of the city of Chi
cago, and when wo woro all beginning
to despair of ever Unding nn ideal
"House of a Thousand Candles," the
director suddenly called the chauffeur
to stop. We were in a part of Whcaton,
a suburb of Chicago, and nono of us
.could soe any "house" that r ight prove
available. The director, - however,
made us all got out ot the machlno and
tramp up a bill. As we rounded a
curve in tho road, we saw beyond a
clump of trees, which had been ob
structing our view, tho exact "House
of a Thousand Candles" we had all
been hoping for..
When we returned to the studio to
take the interior scenes, we found
that we needed many more times as
many candlesticks for tho "big sot"
as our property room Lad. We start
ed a search for candlesticks and can
delabra, and gathered them fron
every conceivable,.-. sourco?oyr . own
homes, homes of our" friends, small
shops near tho Studie and large stores
jftf" the business/district of Chicago.
After getting them all togetho&we
sorted them out and tho dlrecto?ar
rnngeu them Shout tab "sot'.* '^The
effect is beautiful in my estimation,
and I am sure that those who see
"The IIouso ot a Thousand Candles"
wll! agrco with me.
Mr.-" Harry Mostayer and- Mr. Joan
Charles, who have the two leading
male roles, and Mr. Backus, who plays
tho "character" lead, woro ell cast fa
patU which fitted them perfectly end
enjoyed the work fully as much as 1
did. The other players were also
at their best, BO we' wen* In rough the
entire production Uke a well-oiled ma
chlno. Mr. Heffron. our director,
kept us all working together, and
while no exciting accident happened
to distinguish U from other pictures
*n which 1 have Worked, I shall re
member "The House of a Thousand
Candles'' for "a long, long time, be
. cause of the pleasure I experienced fa
working in it
If you had bought one of the FIRST lots offered for sale in NORTH
ANDERSON you would have then taken a chance of losing money
on your investment; but not NOW, when NORTH ANDERSON is an
assured SUCCESS.
Enough lots have been bought, and enough nice homes have been
built already by the representative people of Anderson in NORTH
ANDERSON to assure the success of NORTH ANDERSON as a resi
dential section of Anderson.
Even if there was another Suburban Subdivision near Anderson
with as many splendid advantages for home-sites as NORTH AN
DERSON offers, still NORTH ANDERSON would continue to grow
if there was no further promotion of this property.
In other words: There isn't more than ONE chance in a THOU
SAND of any person losing money on a purchase of a NORTH AN
DERSON lot; and judging the FUTURE by the PAST, NORTH AN
DERSON lots are bound to increase in value right along.
Can you find a NORTH ANDERSON investor who wants to sell
his lot for less than what he paid for it? ' If, by any chance you can
lind ONE, we can name you DOZENS that would not sell their lots
for anything less than a good profit.
Every Man of Means Makes It a
Point to Inv?st His Money in Good
Real Estate. This is the Best Dirt
We Know, Anywhere.
