To the Manner Born
where Mr. Bushman's family is an old and aristocratic one. Their happy, carefree lives were safely bounded by the strict conventions and creeds and rules of the South. In their open young minds were planted the lovely, . amiable rules for what a lady should and should not do. The result is that they are daughters that the most exacting parent would view with pardonable pride.
As yet, they have done nothing in pictures beyond the usual extra work and occasional bits. But it seems impossible that they will not some day be very important young people in the film world. They both have beauty and charm and intelligent ambition. Lenore is still very shy, and the slightest indication that she is arousing interest or attention terrifies her. She has delicately chiseled features— an elfin, whimsical patrician. Virginia is a vivacious, friendly youngster, full of sudden energies and bursts of unstable enthusiasms. She has an overwhelming admiration for intelligence and good taste in any one. She has a fresh, candid prettiness, and the swinging, easy grace of the young athlete.
Their father listened sympathetically to their cajolings when they first arrived on the Coast. He knew what it was to want a career — and want it badly.
"When I was a boy, I begged, for years, to be allowed to try my luck on the stage. But because there had never been a precedent in my very conservative family, I was not only discouraged, but defeated. That is, until I took matters into my own hands and ran away. That is one reason why I want my children to have a chance at what they want, an opportunity to realize their ambitions. Lenore and Virginia were young to leave school, but there were the very best of tutors for them here, and actual contact with the world itself is the best education of all. While they are under my care, I can make things easier for them. But not too easy — it will be good for them to have a few healthy struggles and disappointments."
