Griffith, who was known more generally by her stage name, Linda Arvidson, here tells the story of the early days of the movies when she and her husband were working for the old Biograph Company down at 11 East 14th Street, New York. She describes the trials and tribulations, the labors and disappointments, the hopes and successes of those primitive times when Mary Pickford got $5.00 a day and Mack Sennett had not discovered that he was a comedy actor, while the Gish sisters were still looking for jobs and Charlie Chaplin was getting a small salary on the vaudeville stage. There are lots of good and amusing anecdotes about people who are now dazzlmgly prominent in the movie world, and from any point of view it is a book that is not only a fascinating flashback into the early days of one of the great enterprises of modern life, but it is a book that anyone interested in movies or movie stars cannot afford to pass by.

Patsy, the Party-Hound (Continued from page 27) to tell Pola. . , "But Pola was very imperious. No, she said, 'go sit down.' "And quite obediently Rod went and sat down." Simply everybody was at that delightful party given by Mr. and Mrs. Rapf. Both are the soul of hospitality, you know. There was a wonderful informal supper out in the dance-hall-projection-billiard room across the back garden lawn, and Harry Rapf himself saw personally that all his seventy-five or eighty guests were comfortable and wanted for nothing. It was just nothing to see Mr. Rapf dashing about with a chair under one arm and a bottle under the other, seeking out some momentarily lonely or thirsty soul and trying to make life bright for him or her. Then the Rapfs sprang the funniest, most amusing stunt I've ever seen , at a movie folks' party. It was a series of pictures, shown in that wonderful aforesaid dance-hall-projection-room-billiard-parlor. The pictures were all satirical or burlesquey.
