Motion Picture Classic (Jan-Dec 1920)

MOTION PICTURE CLASSIC Shadowing Kismet {Continitcd from pac/c 17) was built for his picture. He can call everyone, even the minor players, the stage carpenter, the stage artist, by his hrst name. Now that he is in pictures he has not spared time, effort or talent to make his picture the very best that has been done. Mr. Skinner's family is a very happy one. He is tremendously proud of his only daughter, Cornelia Skinner. It seemed to me that he is even more interested in her career than in his own. She is a tall, regally attractive brunette and has just completed two years at Bryn Mawr College. She is playing a small part in "Kismet" this summer, and in the fall goes to Paris to study pantomime, drama, and enunciation preparatory to her debut on the stage. "I was hoping." ^Ir. Skinner told me, "that her talent might run in another direction— literature, for instance, but so long as she has made up her mind to go on the stage, I am going to see that she gets the very best groundwork possible." So you see even those with a heritage of genius must studv. Know Thyself {Continued from page 59) around. I made up my mind that I would leave the sort of work I was doing. I made up my mind that Iwould make good. More importantly, I made up my mind that I could make good. I felt, for the first time, that I could dij just what I wanted to do if I wanted to work hard enough. And I did want to. I have always thouglit we could do anything if we wanted to badly enough. Now I was ready to prove it. "I walked across the street and told Mr. Sennett I was leaving — just like that. 'What are you going to do, Juanita?' he asked. 'I dont know,' I said, 'but I am going to do sometliin</.' "That very day, walking around town. I ran into Crane Wilbur. 'What you doing, Juanita ?' he asked me. 'Nothing,' 1 said. 'Do a picture with me,' he suggested. I did, and I've been doing ever since. "I have set myself a mark. Chalked myself up, as it were, financially and otherwise, and I am going to attain it. 1 have reached one mark now, and that lirst mark is the hardest of all. It's the devil and all to get your first thousand a week, for instance, but once you do . . . It's all a question of knowing yourself, setting riglit what's *\vrong, eliminating wastes, lutilding up the weak spots. It (■«» /)(' done. "That's my slogan. .Some I)eople call it getting a line on yourself, .still others getting wise to yourself. It all amounts to the same thing — sclfknowledfje."
