Is the Life of a Star Only Tkree Tears? {Continued from page 40) "Take Mary Pickford for example. You have probably heard the remark made that she will never grow up. That is idiotic — she is giving the public what it wants — and they applaud, very seldom realizing the truth behind Mary's acting. They want her as a little girl — they consider her wonderful in little-girl parts — but they dont know that what they are witnessing is sheer artistry — because Mary is not a little girl at all ! She is a grown, intelligent woman. She is a complete circle in herself. She has a marvelous business head, she is a devoted wife, she is a charming and fascinating woman of the "world who can discuss any subject from finance to sculpture with authentic knowledge of what she is talking about — and she is the hardest-working person I know. She has ambition— she has genius — but she also qualifies her genius by taking more pains with her work than most of the other players put together. She is a great person. "She has served her apprenticeship faithfully— that's what makes her great — and that is why her popularity will go on forever. "You cannot produce Mary Pickfords or Charlie Chaplins or Douglas Fairbankses or Dick Barthelmesses in a short time. Every great actor or actress has worked for success ■ — a long, hard time of it most of them have had, too. The real ones are willing, to learn — they are perfectly content with small parts, with being coached and taught what to do and how to do it. You very seldom see any of the ones who have become suddenly popular last. The reason I named three years as the duration of time was because in that period, most of their backers will have had an opportunity to learn for themselves that the public wants more than looks in their players." "What's John so excited about?" demanded a soft voice at our elbow. We turned to greet Mrs. Robertson. She had on the prettiest blue-eye-matching hat we had seen in many a day. "Oh, we were talking about the movie celebrities who sprang into fame overnight," he replied smiling fondly at his true-help-mate— true in the best sense of the word, for she has become indispensable to him in working out his pictures. "You have certainly got him riding his hobby," she answered. "He thinks there's nothing in the world that's as much fun as finding some player who has talent and helping it along. I agree with him. He thinks ability should be nurtured and fed with the greatest care. He loves doing it. You remember little May McAvoy? He says that she is an example of what happens to hot-house forcing of players. She has real talent. She is very earnest and a hard worker — but she was made a star before she was ready for it — and her managers have expected her to carry their pictures for them because they spent a lot of money in publicity." While she talked, her eyes strayed down into the terraced garden behind the house. "Oh," she exclaimed, "excuse me. I see a new purple flower and I must go to look at it. I cant imagine what it can be." Our eyes met those of the director in amusement. "Flowers are pretty important things around here," he smiled. "She nurses them with the same joy that I feel when I am making a good player out of a novice.
