PAULINE FREDERICK’S RISE TO STARDOM Boston, the city of Beans and Culture, and known to its sons as "the hub of the universe," claims Pauline Frederick, although upper New York State is a close second, for much of her early life was spent there. Her turbulent "emotional" career has led her to heights of stage and screen artistry hitherto undreamed of. Her exceptional ability in school plays gave her the idea of devoting her entire energies to a stage career although at that early stage she had no idea of branching into the deeper waters of emotional acting. In fact her first appearance was made in a roaring farce,— "Rogers Brother in Harvard." No one who has ever seen her in "Zaza," "The Eternal City" nor any one of the great screen productions in which she has lately appeared, would ever recognize the Pauline Frederick of early days. But the fact remains that she made a great success of the piece and followed it later in her career with a part in the famous musical comedy "It Happened in Nordland' and the burlesque of "The Music Master. " Other Stage Successes were "A Princess of Kensington," "The Girl in White," "The Little Gray Lady," "Toodles," "When Knights Were Bold," "Samson," "The Fourth Estate," "At Versailles," "The Paper Chase," "Joseph and His Brethren," and "Innocent." It was during her stage appearance in the latter that Miss Frederick accepted an allurng offer from Paramount and went abroad during the spring and summer of 1914 to portray the leading role of Hall Caine's greatest novel and play "The Eternal City. " This film production when presented for the first time in New York City was heralded as the greatest dramatic achievement of the screen. Time has justified her choice a hundredfold and each succeeding photoplay has surpassed former attempts until now Pauline Frederick occupies the acknowledged place of honor among emotional actresses of the screen. The pictures from that time in which Pauline Frederick has appeared are: "Zaza," "Bella Donna," "Lyda Gilmore," "The Spider," "Audrey," "The Moment Before," "The World's Great Snare," "The Woman in the Case," "Ashes of Embers," "Nanette of the Wilds," "The Slave Market," "Sapho," "Sleeping Fires" and "The "Love that Lives," "Double Crossed," "The Hungry Heart," "Mrs. Danes' Defense" and now "Madame Jealousy" in which she will be seen at the Theatre on 7
