The Moving Picture Weekly (1917-1918)

3a THE MOVING PICTURE WEEKLY w HEN little Kate was picked up by Philemon, the lighthouse-keeper of Laguna, he little knew what an influence she was going to have on his life and the lives of his two cronies, Peter and Bartholomew, For Philemon was an austere man. He was deeply religious in his intolerant way, but he could see no other view than his own. Consequently, when little Kate fell sick and a trained nurse was engaged for her, an element was injected into the lighthouse circle which he had not contemplated. First he thought he should marry the nurse, and then when he found that she had run away to marry a man, and on the eve of the marriage had discovered that he had a wife living, Philemon turned against her like a stone wall. It was only a remarkable active bravery and ingenuity on little Kate's part which reconciled the deeply agitated members of the little lighthouse circle. For the man with whom Miss Summerville had eloped was none other than Captain Peyton, the lighthouse inspector for that district. When Miss Summerville heard that he was^ coming, she decided on a desperate imethod to keep him away. By turning off the light she hoped that the captain would not be able to see the lighthouse on his trip, and would pass on and leave her to the enjoyment of the quiet life she had chosen. But little Kate senses the danger which this plan would cause, and stole up the stairs and turned the light on again. But not before Philemon had seen it. His stem accusation brought out the skeleton in the nurse's life. Then little Kate thought the nurse needed the doctor, and ran to get Dr. Carlyle. Just as the captain was making a somewhat embarrassed exit, Kate and the doctor came in. He wrote out a prescription for Miss Summerville which spelled Matrimony. ZOE LOVES STEAK. "I WISH I had to play Kate every day," said little Zoe Rae, the six-year-old star of the Butterfly Picture, "The Silent Lady," when she had completed one of the scenes in the picture. "Why, is Kate your favorite part?" asked Miss Gretchen Lederer. "No," answered Zoe, "but you see Kate has to eat a whole steak in one scene. And, oh, ! how I do love steak!" ZOE LEARNS TO SWIM. <<J'M a big girl now, ain't I, mamma?" said Little Zoe Rae, at the natatorium in Los Angeles one day this week after she had finally found that she could swim without assistance. The seven-year-old "Universal Baby," who is conceded to be one of the most remarkable child actresses in screendom, had had only a few lessons, her instructor being Elizabeth Janes, one of her colleagues at Universal City, and who is a wonderful swimmer and diver. Elizabeth is only eight years old herself, but she is like a fish in the water, and is able to swim with her hands and feet tied. Zoe and Elizabeth are great chums, in fact, they are inseparable when not occupied in their picture work. ' M Eliza b e t h taught ^^^^K Zoe the ■ '^^^^^ breast T-H^^^^W stroke first o f all, and now the actress is being taught the "Australian crawl." Zoe is learning quickly, and in a few more lessons will be able to use this difficult stroke. The youngster loves the water, and after finishing her work at the studios is taken by her mother every afternoon to the natatorium for her swim. CAST.
