(since 1872) 164FirstSt, San Francisco A Broadway Cowboy Continued from page 83 gan to realize that the second act of "A Western Knight," during the scene where the cowboys greeted one of their number just returned from the East, had been sadly lacking in local color, but to make it anywhere true to nature he decided it would need a few rapid-fire guns and a cannon or two. "Boys !" Colonel Jordan shouted, jumping to the running board of the machine. "Do we want this man for our sheriff?" "I'm sorry," Randolph answered, when he could make himself heard. "I can't accept, but I'll give myself to you as a son-in-law instead. And now " He threw in the gears. "If you will excuse me " The Colonel just saved himself, and they stared after the machine as it disappeared in a cloud of dust. Something less than fifteen minutes later Betty was looking up into Randolph's eyes as the car apparently stopped of its own accord under some trees. "Now," she was saying, "I suppose you'll have to run off and join your company?" She pouted as she said it, the most charming pout in all the world, and Randolph caught her in his arms and kissed her. "I'm off this Western stuff forever!" he gasped. "Me for Broadway and a nice quiet parlor drama — and you !" On the Golden Stairs Continued from page 55 I looked again at the garment. It was a one-piece bathing suit ! Sudermann's "Magda" fell to the floor. Tears of angry shame came to my eyes, then a quick resolve. "Nothing is wrong except thinking makes it so," I argued. "I am no better than the others. I must work. I kept saying over to myself, 'It's for mother, so it's all right.' " How I suffered no one knows. I came from a home of culture. My friends were of college circles. My ideals were inspired in the convent by music and paintings of the masters. I had read the best literature. And then a one-piece bathing suit ■ — the chorus caroling "For this is a jolly summer day, tra-la !" In my mind I saw Mrs. Jamaica Dome gazing through her lorgnette at my bathing-suited person depicted in the newspaper, and saying "So this is Betty Blythe !" Mrs. Dome used to give teas at which Russian music was discussed — and worse — played, and at which I used to sing. Yet this experience in the chorus was the most valuable of my life. It ground my pride under its heel. I had been a miserable little snob. My sister would say: "Betty, you have no right to be so proud; pray who are you ?" I would retort: "Well, I have family." I was brutally chastened. That bathing suit was my sackcloth of humility. The chorus work was terminated suddenly. I was sitting in the wings one day reading and did not hear the stage director's call. He approached me, seized the book from my hands, and flung it in my face. At that moment the manager of the show entered. He picked up the book and glanced at the title. It was Shaw's "Man and Superman." He passed it with a significant smile to the director, who grumbled something. Soon afterward I was given a part. In New York I was engaged for a role in Oliver Morbsco's dramatic production, "Experience." Slowly success came to me. Another vision was realized when I was privileged to play Ophelia in a Shakesperean repertoire. Then a Vitagraph director engaged me for a picture. A contract to play leading parts resulted. I have since appeared in "The Golden Goal," "Beauty Proof," "The Silver Horde," "The Third Generation," "Burnt Wings," "The Mischief Man," and others. I hope and believe that I'm still climbing. We never quite achieve our visions. Had any one told me when I was earning my twenty dolContinued on page 96
