Motion Picture Classic (Jan-Dec 1916)

CLASSIC “I Hear You Calling Me” By RUTH ROLAND “\Y7'HAT’S *n a name M Miss Ro yy land thought there" was a great deal in hers not long ago and tells the following little story about it : “We had gone to Santa Barbara to obtain settings for a Roman picture we were then producing. A wonderfully beautiful estate had been loaned to us. I never saw such loveliness before. It was a dream-place — flowers, winding paths, fountains and wonderful statuary brought from Italy, and a huge Roman plunge that made you wish you had lived in the old Roman days when such luxuries were almost common. We had finished some scenes, and I was not to be in the following, so I gratefully picked up my parasol and my sewing (for it was very warm) and strolled off to a shady nook, and had just begun sewing, when — ‘Ruth, Ruth,’ came a voice. I replied, ‘I hear you calling me,’ and scrambled my sewing together and fled in the direction where we had last been working. No one was there, but again the voice, ‘Ruth, Ruth,’ so I rushed in the direction I thought the voice came from. Still no one could I find, and finally gave the hunt up. I have said it was a very warm day, and I was just getting a little bit — well, cross, when again came the voice, ‘Ruth, Ruth.’ This time I knew exactly where to go, but when I arrived there was no one to be seen. Finally, after many more calls, I saw the company a little way off and hurried up to them. They all looked at me in a puzzled way when I burst in upon a scene. “ ‘Well, what is the matter?’ I was asked. “ ‘Didn’t you call me?’ “ ‘No,’ and some one remarked something about the heat. “ ‘But you did call me,’ I replied. “Just then the caretaker came strolling along with a bright-hued parrot sitting on his shoulder, and just as he stood opposite me he screeched, ‘Ruth, Ruth’ — the parrot, I mean — and every one laughed. The caretaker explained that his little girl’s name was Ruth, and that she and the parrot were great chums. This explained the mystery. The parrot and I became very good friends, but the company, taking ingenuity by the horns, changed my lame for the time being to avoid fur.her marathons in the gardens.” THE WEAPONS OF WAR — RUTH ROLAND IN “THE RED CIRCLE” (PATHE) ( Seventy-one) Given to You WITHOUT EXPENSE This Music Cabinet or Parlor Rocker, fit for anyone’s home!
