Requests for the address ol Mary Plckford have come to the office. Address letters to 270 Riverside Drive, New York.

After I had left Belasco we were eager Lottie and I to see if there could be an opportunity for us in moving pictures. Timidly we visited several of the studios, but the men whom we Interviewed looked at us disinterestedly and promised us as rosily as they promised every one else that we might be called there any day for work. But a whole year passed and to our disappointment we decided that many are called, but few are chosen! Mother was playing at a theatre in Brooklyn when I, out of work, tried my luck once more. It was a few days after Easter and, dressed in my beat of Easter bargains, with hope In my heart, I started out. Because I felt that this was to be my gala day, I adorned myself in my beautiful new white serge suit, the first new suit I had had for many, many months. For in thoBe hard times the spending of $15 for a dress meant that it was mother who had to sacrifice something she really needed. I went to the Blograph studio first and timidly asked for the manager. Then a tall, severe-looking man with a firm mouth and kindly eyes looked at me and said, "Well, little girl, what do you want?" "I would like to work here," I replied, "if you will let me see the manager." "My name is Griffith," and he smiled at me encouragingly, "I'm the manager here. Have you ever been in 'pictures' before?" A Veteran Artist. "M Mr nHfflth " I nnnlnelzpri

timidly, "I have been with Mr. Belasco for two years and have had ten years' experience on the star?. " I am 15 years old." I added this to impress him with the fact that I was old enough to know what I wanted and that I carried upon my shoulders the weight of much experience. This amused Mr. Griffith, and he took me

kindly by the nana, leading me through the office and on to the stage. My heart was beating like a tom-tom and the noise as well as the brilliant blue lights quite terrified me. "Take off your hat," Mr. Griffith told mo. 'i will put you right to work to see what you can do." I obeyed him mechanically and let him lead me, like a lamb to the slaughter, a few feet from the camera. Hardly conscious of what was going on about me, I stumbled through the scenes, wild eyed and gasping lor breath. A Fortune in Hand. When I was finished Mr. Griffith gave me a slip to collect $10 and told me I could come there the following morning to work. Nothing in my life had ever looked quite so big to me as that ten-dollars.

The first thing I said to her as I

rushed into-her arms was: "Mamma,

what do you think? I'm a moving pic

ture actress. A man named Mr. Grif

fith has given me a job at the American Blograph Studio. I made $10 and

I'm going to make an awful lot of money so you can have a fine house

with twenty rooms in it and an automobile and ." I stopped to catch my breath and I looked at mother, who was Pointing to my bedraggled

clothes they were utterly and hope

lessly ruined!

But it is always after a storm the sun shines the brightest, so this, my first memorable day in pictures, pro

phesied much for me. Answers to Correspondents

disappointed to think your first at

tempt to imitate me should have been the bleaching of your hair. My own hair is growing darker every day and I would never dream of attempting to change the color. If I were you I

would let it turn back to its natural

look false and so much older

"To live up to the ideals and teachings of ancient craft Masonry," he said, "calls for the highest ideals of man, and men are constantly striving to reach this ideal." Urges Ideal Life. Earl E. Thomas called attention to the good derived from a meeting of this kind, when practically all members of the lodge attend. He urged the members to "dVfobd at' all mes',and said that a member of the lodge who does not come to meetings frequently is as valued a member as one who comes at every meeting, provided he lives up to the ideals of Masonry in every-day life. He pointed with pride to the number of past masters, whose lives, he said, could be held up for examples. Charles W. Jordan, past master of Whitewater lodge, gave a brief talk in which he alluded to the good that has come from the lives of the past masters of Webb lodge, and urged the members to live closer to the standards of Free Masonry.

The following is a history of the lodge, prepared by John L. Rupe: Webb Lodge, No. 24, F. and A. M., was first chartered by the Grand Lodge of Indiana, October 7, 1823.. It appears from the grand lodge procedings that a lodge had existed under dispensation under the name of Wayne Lodge, No. 24, holding meetings at equal periods at' Centerville and Rich? mond. In October, 1823, a charter was granted by the Grand Lodge, of Indiana to Wayne Lodge, but to be thereafter known as Webb Lodge, No. 24, William Pugh, a resident ofvCen-terville,-being designated as Its first master; James R. Mendenhall as senior warden and William H. Vaughan as junior: warden, Bartholomew . McCleary being received and acknowledged as the representative of that lodge at the session of the grand lodge of 1823. James R. Mendenhall and William H. Vaughan were prominent citizens of Richmond, at that time. Brother Mendenhall being one of the leading physicians of Richmond and Wayne county for many years later and until the time of his death. There Is no known authentic history of Masonry of that early period from which It can be known how the name "Webb" came to be adopted for this lodge. It is known, however, that it was not adopted in honor of any distinguished local mason of that early period. i It is believer that the name was adopted in honor of Thomas Smith Webb, who was at-that early day a distinguished Mason of national reputation as such. He was born in Boston, Mass., and at the time of his death, which occurred at Cleveland, O., while on a Masonic mission .to that city, July 6, 1819, he was a resident of Providence, R: I. He died at the age of 48 years, and was one of the most distinguished Masons of his day. He was one of the men instrumental in establishing the General Grand Chapter, and was its Deputy Grand High Priest at the time of his death. Out of a very general confusion in his time, existing in Masonic work, this distinguished mason evolved a system generally recognized and admirable and published the first Masonic Monitor, which was adopted by the Grand Lodge of Indiana, and generally adopted and used. It is believed, therefore, that this lodge bears the name of "Webb" in honor of this distinguished Mason and in recognition of and as a mark of appreciation of his great services to the fraternity and of his exalted character as a man and Mason. The membership of Webb Lodge its first year numbered twenty-three. Among these, however, were a number of the leading men of the community, among whom may be jfvationed Dr. James R. Mendenhall, "hn C. Kibbey, Lewis Burk and John Finley. Lewis Burk was one of the early bankers of Richmond and a : man of the Tilghest' character and standing. John Finley was for many years and at the time of his death, mayor of the city of Richmond. He was also a poet of more than local celebrity, his "Hoosiers' Nest" being widely published and generally regarded as a poetic gem. In these early days of Masonry In eastern Indiana there were difficulties, prejudices, hostility and obstacles which we of this day know nothing of except as a matter of Masonic history. The early settlement of Richmond was largely members of the Society of Friends, commonly called "Quakers," who regarded Masonic orders with suspicion and distrust, and it was no easy task for our early brethren to organize and maintain a Masonic lodge in their midst. From the date of the charter of Webb Lodge in 1823, Jo 1833, a period of ten years, there were only forty-two initiations, as apepars by the records of the grand lodge. In 1832 the lodge surrendered its charter to the grand lodge, it having existed to that time a lodge divided

between Centerville and Richmond, and in 1833 a new charter was granted by the grand lodge to Webb Lodge, No. 24, at Richmond. The lodge bad financial troubles among its other manifold difficulties, and in -1839 it appears it was In arreears in the payment of its dues and obligations to the grand lodge. No returns were made by the lodge in either of the years 1840, 1841 or 1842, and as appears by the grand lodges records, its charter was taken up in 1843 by the grand lodge "on account of its inability to meet its' financial Obligations to the grand, lodge, .and that it worked under, dispensation from 1843 to 1844. . . The" brethren,, however, persistently held on and the grand lodge realizing the dlficulties; "with which .they were obliged to contend, at the session of the year 1844, restored to the lodge its original charter with its original number as it was issued "in 1833 and since that time the brethren of Webb Lodge have justified . the confidence reposed In them by the grand , lodge, by scattering all clouds of suspicion and distrust and building up and maintaining a loyal, prosperous lodge and through its influence having organized in - Richmond another large and prosperous blue lodge, equal in membership to our own, a'Chapter, Council and Commandery. The lodge now has a membership of more than four hundred and its members are loyal and zealous supporters of the Chapter, Council and Commandery Its members were largely instrumental in the building of . the modern, well-equipped. . Masonic Temple In Richmond, worth $50,000, free of debt, and of which the lodge Is a principal owner. Webb Lodge has furnished to the Masonic bodies of the state a con

siderable, number from its membership, who have been called Into the larger field of Masonic work and activity, and who have each and all served in their respective positions with honor, to themselves ; and acceptably to the craft. Hon. David P. Holloway and Francis M. King, members of Webb Lodge, each served as Grand Secretary of the Grand Lodge of Indiana. William B. Smith, also a member of Webb Lodge, was the first Grand High Priest of the Grand Chapter of Indiana. Win. W. Austin, another member, served the Grand Council of Indiana, as ' its Thrice illustrious Grand Master two years. Christian Fetta, another member, served the Grand Lodge of Indiana as

I its Most Worshipful Grand Master two

years and the Grand Chapter of Indiana as its Grand High Priest one year. Webb Lodge has furnished three Grand Commanders of the Grand Commandery of Knights Templar of Indiana, Edwin D. Palmer, John H. Nicholson and John L. Rupe. Aaron W. Hempleman served the Grand Body of the Order of the Eastern Star as Grand Patron one year. Webb Lodge has at all times In its

history numbered in .its. membership a large representation of, the leading and Influential men of the community. While In its early history its progress was slow and labored, its later years have been marked by prosperity and in teal and enthusiasm in - all which pertains to Masonry and in its highest and best teachings and ideals.
