And when we got to Hollywood at last nobody even saw me. Disillusioned about my prospects of becoming an actress, I started home, but one of the other girls persuaded ' me to stop off in Chicago with her and try for extra work with Lois Weber's company which was making The Blind Girl of Portici. Just by chance, as we stood the first day in the crowd watching a mediaeval street scene shot, the girl I was with overheard Miss Weber ask the casting director for a girl with hair long enough so that she could be pulled thru the streets by it. "Here!" shrilled my friend loyally, dragging me forward and pulling out hairpins recklessly, "look at her hair !" Miss Weber glanced at the length of my braid and gave me the bit to do, so I might say I got into the pictures by the hair of my head. When the company went West I went with them, but long months followed in which I could not find any other work. I was not the "type," they told me. I didn't "look like a movie actress." Afterward I found out that a kindly group were thinking of raising my fare home from their own pockets and sending me out of the legended dangers of Hollywood, but I myself never dreamed of giving up. I even sent for my mother and told her confidently to sell the house and move the family to California. And then Warren Kerrigan (the Valentino of his day) was looking for a leading woman who was "different" from the Hollywood run of leading women, and so T have been in the pictures nine years. •*• And I've never been insulted once (which perhaps isn't a very flattering confession), unless you count the director who spoke rather too warmly about my "slumbrous brown eyes" and didn't give me a part when those same eyes proved that thry could blaze with indignation. Of course, I've heard lurid tales, but when I got at the facts, the girls who told them to me usually ended by confessing that they had tried in the first place to vamp the casting director into getting them into the movies "because they'd heard that was the only way." I think my profession is a wonderful one, myself.
