DEAD MEN TELL NO T A L E S Cheese Sandwiches to Caviar (Continued from page 19) deepest sorrow of her life. It had much to do in bringing to the surface her gifts as an emotional artiste. "After that I could not leave home again. We were living in Los Angeles. It's hardly necessary to say what I did next.'' "The studios?" "What else?" she gave a slight shrug. "Then came my bitterest days. But you know something of that phase, don't you? Yet when my chance came all else was forgotten. It was the future that beckoned me, never the past that my thoughts dwelt on. I was fiercely eager to succeed. People of that sort," she looked knowingly, "usually, if not invariably, attract the attention of Thos. H. Ince. They call him," she smiled, "Opportunity's Pal. Quaint thought, that, isn't it? "Really, there's no need to detail all that happened in those early days of Kay-Bee and Triangle, is there? Most followers of the screen can tell you more of what we did than we participants remember ; all the interesting people who were introduced to the public, most of them to become stars, and the really striking plots we animated. In many ways I think it was the most important period in the motion picture's development." "And your own development into a star," Miss Glaum was queried, tactfully, rather sure that she would make some interesting revelations. "Nonsense!" she retorted, "I'm not half the star I want to be. Until I've achieved everything I dream of there isn't anything to say." She made a gesture of deprecation and called to her maid for a shimmering wrap soon to be worn in a scene. "But you ought to say something about the interesting things you've done in the past year." She was reminded of her conspicuous rise to prominence in "Sahara," "The Lone Wolf's Daughter" and "Sex." "You win," she exclaimed. "I admit it isn't fair not to pay my tribute to J. Parker Read, Jr., the producer of those photoplays. He, you know, is responsible for whatever success is mine ; and I often wonder if the people really know to what extent the producer's influence — his taste and knowledge — enter into the pictures they see." "And the extent his bankroll is tapped," was interjected succinctly. "That," countered Miss Glaum, "they simply don't bother about." "But perhaps Mr. Read gives it a thought?" "His first thought is to lavish the utmost that money can buy — the story, its production, the players — everything," she broke in enthusiastically, "and he docs do it with splendid prodigality. He is expressing hmiself and his respect for the public. He can do it in no other manner. "I thought that 'Love Madness,' which is soon to be seen, surpassed in splendor any photoplay in which I've been concerned, but 'The Leopard Woman' — isn't that an attractive title, by the way? — honestly out-Herods Herod, so to speak, in magnificence." "The Leopard Woman? You mean? . ." "Stewart Edward White's novel. Exactly. Naturally we're doing everything to make it extraordinary. "But I musn't let my enthusiasm run away with me. It might cause me to exult in my stardom. "Come again, won't you, when you think I'm a fine artiste." In a flash she was off, leaving in the hand of her visitor a flower from her dressingtable. It was a contradictory blossom. It was a wild rose.
