THE MOVING PICTURE WEEKLY ^1 % SIIENT lADY ■I GRETCHEN LEDERER Directed by ~ ELSIE JANE WILSON. WONDERFUL BUTTERFLY CAST. J^ITTLE ZOE RAE has completed another picture, a Butterfly called "The Silent Lady." The baby star will be supported by the same cast which made her last Butterfly, "The Cricket," such a favorite. Gretchen Lederef, one of the most beautiful women of the screen, and a firm friend of Zoe's, has the name part, the unusual one of a woman who could not tell a secret. The three actors who played Zoe's bachelor guardians with such pathos and humor in "The Cricket" will be seen again in sympathetic roles — one as a lighthouse-keeper of stem, Calvinistic creed, one as a kindhearted old sailor, and the third as a doctor who finally marries the lady. The scenes are laid in the living to room below a lighthouse on the New England coast, and on the beach of the summer resort. Little Zoe has one of these roles of rnischievous charm which she handles like a veteran, and there is a very interesting situation developed among the adult actors as well. "It's good practice," she declared seriously, "because some of our boys in camp might get sick and then I'd know all about taking care of them." Zoe is an ardent Red Cross worker. She is saving her pennies for materials, growing beans in her garden, and collecting tinfoil assiduously. Besides all this she has learned to crochet and is making a souvenir for every Universalite who is called to the colors, to take away with him. The production manager at Universal City has promised her that all of her Red Cross presents wiH be delivered and the little star has decided to adopt a soldier. The Universal service banner has about 300 stars now so she will have quite a choice. ZOE'S "DISLIKE." LITTLE ZOE WORKS FOR THE RED CROSS. I ITTLE ZOE RAE, the six-year-old star of the Butterfly Picture, "The Silent Lady," loves to play with her dolls, and when she returns from the studio she usually puts them through all the scenes in which she has played that day. In "The Silent Lady" she is taken ill, and the doctor pronounces that she has typhoid, so there has been a regular epidemic in her nursery, with every doll suffering acutely. Zoe creeps about on tiptoe attending to their wants, and wears her nurse's uniform to play in. LITTLE ZOE RAE, six-year-old star of the Butterfly picture, "The Silent Lady," is just at the age Ijvhen her little sayings are the cutest. The other day her mother related this story of her: "Several times lately I have heard Zoe saying that she hated things. 1 told her that it is not right to hate anything, and that if she wished to express displeasure at any time, she might say that she 'disliked' things instead. "So one day, Zoe went into the back yard of our bungalow where she is raising a number of chickens. She was looking around for eggs when one of the hens flew right in her face. Zoe fled in alarm, and when she was out of the danger zone, she drew herself to her full height and exclaimed defiantly — 'You bad chicken! How I dislike you I'"
