netting him a fortune, Mr. Anderson persuaded Mr. Spoor to enter the producing end of the business and volunteered to do the work if Mr. Spoor would furuish the money. They entered into a partnership, established a Motion Picture company, which was to specialize in Western plays, under the name of the S. & A. Film Manufacturing Company. Some time later a contest was held thruout the continent, to name the new brand. And the winning name was simply a variation of the old one, "Essanay," and as such the company has acquired fame and millions.
Mr. Anderson is a delightful person to meet. Sincere, honest and likable, there is in his dark eyes the light of glowing purpose, a will to do and dare. He is much admired and respected by his entire company, from the smallestsalaried stage carpenter or scene-shifter to the leading lady — dainty little Marguerite Clayton, who is varying the monotony of Motion Picture acting (if Motion Picture acting ever grows monotonous) by playing now and then in one of Mr. Anderson's San Francisco theaters, where she is a great favorite.
To Mr. Anderson's careful, conscientious and always courteous instruction does she accredit the popularity which she is daily increasing. For she entered his company with no experience whatever, and in a short time has leaped to fame and popularity. And so it is with every member of his company. All swear by him, and all have treasured something which he has done to make them grateful to him.
