JOHNSON SMITH C CO. t Every advertisement in MOTION I'K'TT'RE MAGAZINE Is guaranteed every morning in her Rolls-Royce car for a while and worked as an extra, wearing her own (of course) perfectly lovely clothes, but mingling with the hoi polloi, and never having any more to do than the hundreds of other five-dollar girls on the set. She hasn't been back for some time now. Then there was a real live princess who tried to become a screen star. The Princess de Bourbon, beautiful, regal, and willing to work. She played bits out in Hollywood for a short time. She worked as an extra. She appeared in a few scenes and then has apparently vanished. Of them all, ironically enough, the Princess de Bourbon went into the movies to earn some money. She had to make money, and tried to eke out a living by going the rounds of the studios in Hollywood. The lovely Thelma Morgan (Mrs. Thelma Morgan Converse, now the wife of Lord Furniss, England's most eligible bachelor), worked for some time with the Famous Players -Lasky Company. She was determined to become a screen star. Certainly she had enough publicity to make her one if that were the only requirement. Every magazine carried the latest photograph of this beautiful twin, the other one having married Reginald Vanderbilt. Every newspaper carried a story of her entrance into the movie world. Every rotogravure section featured her picture. She became almost as familiar to the general public as Gloria Swanson. But when after a number of seven -o'clock -in -the -morning arrivals at the Long Island studio, she was seen no more, no one was the least surprised. She had sailed off to Europe to become a titled lady. Perhaps her determination was a bit lacking in sincerity. She had quite a part in Gloria Swanson's "Society Scandal," and if she had gone on with her work, there is no telling but what she might have become a success. There was only one in the entire group who seemed to possess the necessary qualifications for screen success. When the beautiful Alice Harriman died in Paris recently, she had forged ahead of all her sisters in society as a screen actress. She seemed to know that, as in all successful artistry, film work required an infinite capacity for taking pains with one's work. She arrived every morning at the studio by seven. She appeared made up on the set at the stated hour and minute. She worked hard as an extra, then in little bits. Her first tiny part being with Dick Barthelmess in "Classmates," but even this was cut out when it was discovered that the picture was too long. She came under the personal direction of D. W. Griffith and was to have had the role now acted by Lya de Putti in "Sorrows of Satan." Mr. Griffith considered that Miss Harriman had genuine screen talent, and that she undoubtedly could be developed into a star. After finishing her work with Mr. Griffith, she left for Europe to work in a picture, and died from an infection on her face. But none of the others, and their number is far more than those mentioned in this article, has been anything more than a passing breeze thru the studio world. Being society girls could not get them anything more than an entree. They all had to start as extras. When after the first thrill of seeing behind the scenes had vanished, and the hard work of arriving at the studio at an hitherto unheard-of hour, and the , sitting around waiting for shots to be taken, and the long, long day
