it, and what I love I do. To say I am not frightened would be untrue. I am scared to death every time I read of an accident. Fred Stone's fall was particularly frightening to me, but I refused to let my mind dwell on the subject of accidents. I won't even read about them. 'My friends, however, probably as a caution, insist upon making me listen to all their gloomy recitals. All my friends think I am a little bit crazy on the subject, but since I am determined to enjoy my seven-o'clock spin, I do not heed their words. And once I am in the air, I forget every foreboding, and give myself up to the intense delight of its freedom and joy."
Gilda Wriggles Away.
Gilda Gray shook — as only Gilda can shake— the dust of America from her feet and sailed away, aboard the Aquitania, for London town. There she will fulfill fifteen weeks' engagement with British National Pictures. The first picture will be "Piccadilly," adapted from a story by Arnold Bennett.
Marianna Michaeska, born on a little farm in Krakow, Poland, schoolmate of that little girl across the street in Wisconsin, Lenore Ulric, having wiggled her way to success, no longer wishes to be known merely as a dancer. Ambition is stirring in that little Polish heart. She has gone to England,
because of all the offers she received after her return from a year's tour throughout the country with her picture, "The Devil Dancer," the English producer alone offered her an opportunity to heave and stamp and register emotion — not merely shake a wicked shoulder. A unique figure in American entertainment, naughty Marianna — or, if you insist, Gilda — ■ would pack her straw petticoats and her string of beads in a matchbox and embark upon a histrionic career, merely because — "I don't want to do the same thing all the rest of my life. I have made a reputation for myself as a dancer, and now people think I can do nothing but dance. As a matter of fact, I began by singing."
She used to sing lugubrious ballads in .a cabaret, jbut it was her ceaseless struggle against poverty and hardship which prompted her, untaught and unskilled, to shake and shiver her way from "the sticks" to Broadway, where her natural gifts, though self-developed, placed her at the top of her profession.
"In this British picture, which is to have the directorial genius of E. A. Dupont, I feel I shall progress rather than just cash in on my past experience. Under his guidance I can foster my desire to become a real actress. I feel I can learn."
However, .Miss Gray's dancing, like Topsy's growth, "just come natural." She developed a line to the accompaniment of ukuleles, and so perfected her famous wriggle that, as an exponent of Hawaiian terpsichore, she has been in demand both on the stage and screen.
