Motion Picture Classic (Jan-Dec 1916)

CLASSIC of it, at the New Amsterdam Theater, New York. April 3, 1907. — Mabel Trunnelle (Edison) probably thought that she had received rather a cruel jolt at the hand of fate this night, as she entered the star dressing-room of the Didsburg Theater, Walden, N. Y., ready to get into the trappings of the heroine, Leila Crofton, in “Under Southern Skies.” April If, 1900. — James Durkin (Equitable) was, at any rate, doing the best he could with the material at hand, playing leading parts with Charles Leyburne’s Bon Ton Stock Company, who were glad to have you come and see them act, at the rate of ten, twenty and thirty cents, offering such classics as "The Black Flag,” “Love and War,” "The Castaways,” “The Census Taker,” and “A Desperate Man,” this day being in the midst of a week’s engagement at the Opera House, Westfield, Mass. April 5, 1909. — Eleanor Woodruff (Pathe) always recalls this day with a smile of pleasure,, because it marked her first appearance within the glare of the footlights, appearing among the “and others,” with the Orpheum Stock, at the Chestnut Street Theater, Philadelphia, the bill upon this momentous occasion being “As You Like It.” April 6, 1910. — June Daye (Lubin) was a thoroly captivating picture as the little girl, Flora Cameron, in “The Clansman,” which happy thriller was completing a stay of four days at the Majestic Theater, Peoria, 111., she being billed, of course, under the name by which we so long knew and loved her, Vinnie Burns. April 7, 1900. — Sidney Ayres (Universal) was contributing his histrionic mite to the somewhat limited role of Mr. Dent, in “The Adventure of Lady Ursula,” in which William Morris was starring, this night concluding a lengthy, trying tour of the South, at the Academy of Music, Norfolk, Va. April 8, 1901. — Mary Pickford (Famous Players) was in a great state of excitement this day, let me tell you, for, as a member of the Valentine Stock Company, at the Princess Theater, Toronto, Can., she achieved the ambition of every child actress, being cast for the role of Little Eva, in “Uncle Tom’s Cabin,” and so great was the thrill of all this, that she almost forgot that upon this very same date she also celebrated her eighth birthday ! April 10, 1891f. — Sidney Drew (Metro) was flourishing in the showy opportunities afforded him in the old English comedies, being principal comedian in the support of his mother, the illustrious Mrs. John Drew, who this day played “The Rivals,” at Greenwall’s Opera House, Fort Worth, Tex., in which son Sidney distinguished himself in the part of Bob Acres.
