Now run down to Florida and have a nice long vacation. When you come back will be time enough to talk about your becoming an actress." Still Janet only laughed at the i repeated suggestion. And to prove what were her intentions she filled out all the blanks provided by her High SchoolAlma Mater with the "University of California" as her next step in education and "Teacher" as her anticipated vocation. MISS JANET had no sooner flitted away on her gradual ion-vacation than daddy-Jonsey packed up the rest of his family and moved to a cottage in the heart of Hollywood and the movingpicture colony. So when Janet was ready to return home she was wired, "Have moved to Hollywood. Come directly lure." And then, and then only, did she face the fact that "Jonsey" was quite earnest and that the casting-director's floors of the cinema-city lay before her. Xo, "Jonsey" did not go with her. Alone, and unaided except for the constant sympathy and kind words of her understanding parent and step-parent, she made the rounds — -just the same as any would-be "extra." Only the doors opened somehow, for Janet. Not so very wide at first. Just enough so she found herself playing little comedy roles for Hal Roach and a few months later tiny comedy leads at Universal. But "Jonsey" was jubilant. "You see, my dear, it is as I have told you. You were born to be an actress." And so sublime was his faith that this "Jonsey" harassed his friends, even his business acquaintances, with remarks of gloating. "My little Janet is to be the Bernhardt of the movies. She will be the greatest star — she will — " Then came the call from the Fox Studio for a try-out for girls who wished to play the hading lady for the series of Van Bibber stories. "There is your chance Jai i t. Co to it." Oi course it was "Jonsey" speaking. And Janet went to it. With thirty others she applied for the position — and was not chosen. Yet, "Jonsey" was right — it was her opportunity. Winfield R. Sheehan, that far-seeing Fox official, glimpsed the wraith of a girl waiting in her corner. What was it these two men saw in this five-foot, ninety-six pound bit of femininity? Did their eyes focus on the same vision? Whatever it was. little Janet went into the picture of the "Johnstown Flood." And you know the rest of the story — "The Shamrock Handicap" — "The Blue Eagle" — "The Return of Peter Grimm" — and one or two otherThen that stupendous announcement! "Seventh Heaven," Diane, the choicest morsel thirsted for by every famous dramatic actress of the screen. The one story, 'tis whispered in the most authentic circles, that Mary Pickford and Douglas Fairbanks coveted for their one and only dual appearance and for which they left no stone unturned in their attempts to wrest it from the Fox officials. THEN the bomb-shell, the challenge to all of the well-known paths of the motion picture industry made by Winlield R. Sheehan: Janet Caynor as Diane; Charles Farrell as Chico. Two babies, practically unknown. Only "Jonsey" showed no consternation. "Certainly," he declared calmly. " No more than I expected." Little Janet told me this story between her appearances on the set of her next starring vehicle, "Two Girls Wanted." It was on Monday. She had buried her » A 100 per cent film family — the Rossons. Here are Hal, Arthur and Richard. They all work on the Paramount lot. Hall is a cameraman and the two others are directors. A sister is secretary to Cecil B. De Mille Every idTorUscment In PHOTOPLAY MAGAZINE is guaranteed.
