PAUL RIEGER (.Est. 18721 205 DavisSt., San Francisco 84 Patient Is the Word for Helen Mack [Continued from page 42] Mrs. McDougall called Miss Gordon at her hotel and asked if she could bring her daughter to see her. Through some miracle, or perhaps it was because Vera Gordon has a big, generous heart, a meeting was arranged. Helen did her tricks, her imitations. "Be honest with me," Mrs. McDougall pleaded. "Am I prejudiced because I'm her mother — or do you, too, see talent in her?" "Yes, she has talent," Miss Gordon agreed. "Then how can I get her a chance in the movies ?" Miss Gordon advised either Hollywood or New York. (At that time, there were several studios in the east.) Mrs. McDougall never questioned the advice. She sold everything she had and took Helen to New York. "T WAS too young to appreciate the ■*■ difficulties we encountered," says Helen in talking of those days. "If Mother's courage ever failed her, she never let me know. The first thing we discovered was that in order to get stage or screen work I would have to be registered at the Professional Children's school. That, of course, took money, but mother managed it, somehow. Then, gradually, I began to get work in pictures — where my real name of McDougall was shortened to Mack. I played with_ Gloria Swanson in Zaza, I had a child role in Clara Bow's first starring picture. I did a few things on the stage. "One of the first things Mother taught me was to be self-reliant. When we would go to theatrical agencies to see about work, she would go with me as far as the door and then she would send me in alone. We had a little speech all figured out. 'I'm Helen Mack,' I would say, 'and I'm an actress. Is there anything open for a girl of my type?' I suppose there was something about a child presumably coming to an office unaccompanied, asking for work, that attracted attention, for often I found work as a result of my little speech." At sixteen Helen did a "single" in vaudeville. Then she went into a Broadway show called Subway Express. She attracted the attention of Albert Parker, a movie director, and he sent for her to make a screen test. «<TN THE test I was supposed to be ■*■ a woman of twenty-five who had been married and had a lover," says Helen. "I had no conception of the meaning of the scene I was supposed to play. But the director explained that he just wanted to see what I could do with it.
