BETTY ROSS CLARKE (Continued " I had appeared in Fair and Wanner for two years," she said, ''And I was out of a job, and seeking one in an agent's office when a very goodlooking, tall man came across to me and told me that Fox's were casting for a William Farnum movie and if I called there, they'd maybe have something for me. Well, 1 thought it mighty nice of him, and SO 1 took his advice, thinking he was surely someone either employed there or concerned in the movie, which turned out to he // I Were King. I was very fortunate, for 1 was engaged as leading lady right away, hut all enquiries failed to locate my unknown benefactor. 1 have never set eyes on him from that day to this." Betty Ross Clarke worked in the Griffith Studios, lor she was the ingenue of Romance. " 1 have played ' La Cavallini,' too. in slock." she interjected. Indeed, she seems to have played every leading part worth playing. Her other films are from page 13) Lucky Carson, The Man from Downing Street, The Jade Elephant (all Vitagraph), The Very Idea, with Taylor Holmes; The Fox with Harry Carey Mother 0' Mine. At the Sign of the Jack 0' Lantern, and several Paramount features besides Brewster's Millions which will probably never be released. You would enjoy Betty Ross Clarke's impressions of Paramount personalities. I did, immensely. Then 1 put the old, old question to Betty and she answered, " I like the stage best, but I'm fond of movies, too, and I'm quite a film fan this side. I'm going to ll'oman to Woman this afternoon.' I hoped she'd enjoy it, and we parted the best of friends. She is staying in London, so if you chance to meet a slender, brown-haired girl in a big black hat at the movies, and she looks a little like Alice Joyce, and a little like Alice Terry, and a lot like a thoroughly lovely person, you'll he safe in saying " 1 Kilo Betty Ross Clarke."
