HOW I BECAME A PHOTOPLAYER 77 I became a photoplayer because Gilbert Anderson asked me to, and pointed out the many advantages it had over the legitimate stage. He wanted some one who could both ride and act, and spoke to me whilst I was singing prima-donna parts with the Ferris Hartman stock company. I did not really like the stage very much, so I determined to try it at Mr. Anderson's suggestion. I cannot tell you how glad I was and am, and will always feel a debt of gratitude to Gilbert Anderson for persuading me to enter this fascinating profession— that of acting for the screen. I did Western parts for the Essanay Company at San Rafael, and principally Western and Indian parts with the New York Motion Picture Corporation, but I have a great variety of parts with the Universal and feel I have come into my own. I was born in California, and I have never been East, and haven't lost any sleep about it as yet. Anna Little. I became a photoplayer by wire. The wire was from Mr. Lubin, of Philadelphia. It offered me a good position and an excellent salary. I was on the road and packing my trunk after a one-night stand and was tired and weary of traveling, and I was facing a number of one-night stands between Michigan and the Pacific Coast. I had worked for Lubin between tours, and the work was out-of-doors and appealing, and, as I was in a receptive mood, it did not take me very long to decide, and on the following Saturday I packed my trunk on a one-night stand for the last time, and, despite the pitying comments of the company, I took the night train for Lubin and the pictures.
