Philadelphia EARN WHILE YOU LEARN John Emerson in Pictures (Continued from page 10) tesse Coquette,' Krogstadt in 'A Doll's House,' and the doting husband in 'Hedda Gabler.' I received a personal letter from Mme. Nazimova in which she said, 'You are the best Tesman I have ever bad.' This letter, of course, I had framed in gold and hung it upon the wall, with a large wreath of laurel above it. "The following season I assisted in staging 'The Blue Mouse,' and when Mr. Clyde Fitch died I was chosen by the Shuber't management as the man most familiar with the author's methods, to put on 'The City.' I was later made general stage director for the Shuberts, and during that time I appeared in the support of Marietta Oily, a German actress, whose American career was rather brief; I also produced and played the leading male role in 'The Watcher,' and in other plays. "I joined the Frohman management, where I staged 'The Runaway,' with Miss Billie Burke as the star; 'The Attack' for John Mason, 'Bella Donna' for Mme. Nazimova and various other plays. While with Mr. Frohman I managed to find time to collaborate with Hillard Booth and Cora Maynard on 'The Bargain' and with Robert Baker on 'The Conspiracy,' in which I also played the featured part." Those who have seen John Emerson in 'The Conspiracy,' as the eccentric newspaper writer, were very loud in their praise. Emerson is an artist, his work is finished. At the age of thirtythree he was at the head of the Frohman forces, which speaks for itself, as to his business ability. Perhaps this is one reason why Emerson is where he is today. John Emerson displayed signs of growing tired and the writer suggested a bit of liquid refreshments. We marched into the hotel grill. Once on the inside, with one foot propped up on the polished bar railing, Emerson looked somewhat rested. "What of your present motion picture engagement?" I ejaculated. "I am appearing in an original feature photodrama at the Fine Arts Films studio. By the way, it was at this very studio that D. W. Griffith staged that sensational masterpiece, 'The Birth of a Nation.' The picture I am appearing in will be known as 'The Scarlet Band,' and it deals with scientific war matters. "Yes, I can justly say I enjoy my work, or you could term it 'film acting.' It is my intention to remain at the Fine Arts Films studio, and perhaps at a later date will take to staging motion picture plays. However, before attempting this branch of the profession, I want to be fully posted as to camera limitations, etc., which, of course, are new to me." . By this time we drained our cocktail glasses, and started away from the bar. Through swinging doors we emerged and Emerson hailed his waiting chauffeur. "I have a studio appointment," said Mr. Emerson, "and therefore must leave you." The starting of a motor, an odor of burning gasoline and the writer was alone. To the writer John Emerson is a wonderful character. He speaks in moderate tones, brings a pleasing smile to surface ever so often, and somehow or other you feel at home in his presence. After learning that men of John Emerson's type are enlisting in the motion picture profession, it does kind of make you think that motion pictures are still in their infancy. For it is only natural that bigger things in the line of scenarios will have to be originated, to secure themes adequate in strength and construction for the Emerson type of artist.

Oh, yes — well, I'll tell you. I — expect — Have you found them yet?" By this time I was submerged with gowns to the neck, but I managed to swim out and began to look for the "pure silks." I discovered several of them lying around helpless, but none of them were cream-colored !

Geraldine Farrar THE STORY OF AN AMERICAN SINGER By HERSELF Miss Farrar is no doubt the most widely known woman in America at the present time. Her book is an intensely human story of a modern American girl's conquest of the world in the most exacting of all the arts — a story of romance and adventure, peopled with the famous men and women of America and Europe today. Both those who have seen and heard Miss Farrar on the stage, and the still wider public who have seen or heard her on the screen or record will find the story one of absorbing interest. The illustrations, of which there are more than forty, have been made from Miss Farrar's personal photographs of herself and of the many famous men and women — notably singers, composers, and impresarios — with whom she has been associated in friendship or in work.
