40 Picture Show Annual him magnate, and she was given the role of Laurel in " Stella Dallas." Sally O'Neil was " discovered" by Blanche Sweet and Marshall Neilan. They first saw her dancing in a Hollywood hotel, and were so struck by her appearance that a screen test was made, and Sally was entrusted with the feminine lead in " Patsy." Madge Evans and Virginia Lee Corbin, on the other hand, are two regular little troupers. They were both well known as child actresses, who vanished from the eye of the camera during the gawky stage of their growth. Virginia's co-star of that time, Francis Carpenter, whom you will remember with her in " Jack and the Beanstalk,'' has not so far returned to the screen. Whether the call of the Kleig lamps will reach him as it has Virginia remains to be seen. The screen does not claim the whole of Madge Evans' time. She played opposite Richard Barthelmess in "Class- mates " and in " On the Banks of the Wabash " during her holidays from school, but, upon leaving turned her attention to the footlights, appearing on the New York stage. But it is highly improbable that the film powers that be will let her slip through their fingers. Helene Costello was on the stage before she appeared in films, but it was, perhaps, only natural that she should gravitate to the camera since her father was one of the first and most famous motion- picture actors. In their early days, too, she and her sister Dolores ap- peared as child players in Vita- graph films. The most recently acclaimed " find " is Louise Brooks, of whose future, after she had been seen with Adolphe Menjou in " A Social Celebrity," most interesting prophecies were made. Her beauty is the most sophis- ticated of these young players ; even at the age of sixteen she has the appearance of a Mona Lisa. All these youngsters possess the charm of Spring, and it will be interesting to see it gradually merging into the charm of Summer.
