Chicago "<Ca JX>-'''ccss aire " My Liidy Claire {Continued from page 26) experience as a child .actress before her parents refused to let her continue. Even in the face of their strong disapproval she never jjave uj) her ilream of the stage. .\t the beginning of the war, she became a nurse. She collapsed tnially under the strain of her work and retired to private life ai^ain. A trip to New "S'ork found her surreptitiously making the rounds of the movie studios. When she aelually landed a small hit her father gave in and lier career was started. "I .shall never forget," she laughed, "die reply that granny wired from England when father wrote her what T had done! She demanded, 'Are you out of your head to let the child become an actress? She will he ruined!' But success juslifies almost anything. "When she saw my first big picture, "The .Si)irt of the Red Cross,' she sent a wonderful letter of approval!" .She is jjatriciaiily beautiful, Claire .\dams, in a dark, intense way, patently a woman of the world, and possessed of all the easy charm that worldliness implies. Her voice, influenced by her life in Can.-ida and London, is modulated and (|uiet. In tlie ^\'est, where voices incline to stridency, it is like the touch of velvet after gunny-sacking. And this English deliberation has crept into her being, until it is an integral part of her life. I asked her if she did not mourn New 'S'ork, where she had got her start witli \'itagraph. She shook her head slowly. "X^o," she said. "I do not like New ^'ork. Its mone}'-madness makes more than a few weeks of it unbearaiJe. It seemed to me that while I A\'as there I was under a terrible, relentless pressure. I was caught uj) in tlie ma^ i-ace and had to keep up with the racers or be trami)Ied under foot. The average dweller there, if he is working, may see nothing of grass or trees for months on end, and only an occasional dash of smoky sky. 1 liave been brought up chiefly in western Can;ida, and tlie oiUdoors has become an essential part of me. Here in California it is crowded enough, but at least one may live comfortably, and have a lawn, ;in<l a car and keep a dog without fear of ])rolest from the landlord." Eater, on the track of her ambitions, I spoke tentatively of stardom. Her reply was as convincing as it was surprising. "No, I do not want stardom. T think r could be content if it never came, .\fter all, there is an infinite satisfaction in being surroimded by a cast of capable actors and, in the end, being a part of a picture diat is thoroly satisfactory and as perfect as good acting can make it. The star is loo often surrounded by an inetTectual support that ruins the picture as a whole. Think of the couiUless jiersonal triumphs of which you read and of the countless failures which accompany them. 1 believe that the day of the star is dying. It is ine\'itahle that a chosen few will sunivc. Mary Pick ford, for example, could never he set aside. Rut whv sboidd GIRLS! GIRLS!
