This is a companion picture to our Art rlate last week of her sister, Constance. — — Have You Identified Them ? THE Editor tells me he is hoping you are liking our new competition.

DO you recognise whose photograph this is ? It is of seventeen -year-old Marjorie Daw, who, I hear, lias been given Tier heaviest dramat'c character part since she began her youthful career as a cinema actress. This is as Naida, in " The Eternal Three," a picture version of Randall Parrish's famous book, " Bob Hampton of Placer." With Douglas Fairbanks . MISS DAW, I hear, is particularly enthusiastic over the fact that she will portray the part of Naida on the screen and fulH realises that it opens up for her a rare opportunity. Marshall Neilan, who cast the little actress for this role, is confident that she will more than do it justice. Past accomplishments indicate thatt his will be so. Miss Daw lias appeared with great success opposite Douglas Fairbanks in six of bis most recent pictures, and has received soino very flattering notices from the critics. Aside from the Fairbanks' pictures. Miss Daw has appeared in many other popular films staged by Mr. Neilan as well as in a number of Paramount hits. She is practically a visualisation of the Naida described by Randall Parrish in the book. — — She Can Do It. IN addition to the demands made upon her histrionic capabilities by this story, Miss Daw will be called upon to do several very daring feats. The escape from the Indians of Naida and Hampton, described in the book, is one of its most thrilling features, and it is expected that these scenes will prove of particular effectiveness on the screen. As Miss; Daw herself states, after six pictures with Douglas Fairbanks, the matter of presenting thrills in a photo-play no longer hold a terror for her. The period of the story is around 187G, and the quaint costumes of those days on the border are expected to enhance the rare beauty of this little leading lady. The part calls for many changes of costumes, starting with the bedraggled apparel of the frontier waif through her transition to " a perfect lady," and the belle of Bear Water. French as She is Spoke. TF you were to look in at the Tnce Studios J. these days, you would probably see Charles Ray with a little booklet, entitled " French At a Glance." He has already mattered " Have you the cat of my aunt ? " with the appropriate answer, " Here are the slippers of your grandfather." This course of study is necessitated by n character provided for him in a new play he i-< to appear in entitled " Back to the Farm." In this story, Ray, a ypung recruit, after a flying visit to " Gay Paree," returns to his own town to dazzle his fellow citizens with his intimate knowledge of life as it is lived in that gay city, and Charles feels the first step to portray a character is to know the language he speaks. Dorothy Dal ton in the Air. SINCE Dorothy Dalton took her latest flying trip to New York, she has become a confirmed aviatrix. This makes Miss Dalton's third sensational flight, and she now says she is going to take up flying as an added accomplishment. Dorothy is of the daring type which qualifies best as pilots, and it i~ thought she will make a success of her newly chosen pastime if she attempts it. Hobart Bos worth Again. WHEN we see " The Oath "—the photoplay version of Luther Reed's famous story — we shall see Hobart Bos worth in a drama with a story concerning the lives of men who reap a harvest from wreekace and sunken ships. Mr. Bosworlh plays the character of a master diver, whose constant wrestling with the elements has given a tinge of fatalism to intense religious convictions. Some wonderful scenes showing diving operations will be shown with all the technical veracity for which Ince productions are famous. Mr. Bosworth's eaily training as a seaman lerfds authority to a picture whose story is interwoven with episode^ with which he is intimately familiar. Douglas Fairbanks the Second. BY the way, admirers of Douglas Fairbanks will be more than interested in the photographs below of Douglas Fairbanks, junr. Douglas the second is a great admirer of his gifted athletic father, and judging by these snapshots, is anxious to " follow in father footsteps. " and has already mastered the DOUGLAS the second has inherited his father's smile He is a good horseman and a brilliant shot -and can throw a rope with anyone, although only ten years of age.
