Mary PicldForf TaUw of r Her Ufe as a Japanese Wonderful Experience of the Most Popular Silent Drama Actress, Whose Portrayal of Cho-Cho-San in "Madame Butterfly" the Famous Playera-Paramount Production, is a Sensational Success.
It requires the patience and sagacity of a trained hunter to track Mary Pickford to her lair. The celebrated little motion picture star is so busy in her preparations for the Paramount Picture, "Madame Butterfly,' in which she is to appear, shortly that it is practically impossible to catch her at home. "You see." she explained when our correspondent finally succeeded in cornering her, "it isn't really my fault. When you want to interview an actress who is appearing: on Broadway, all you have to do is to go to the theater in which she is playing and there yon are. But a motion picture actress never knows from one day to the other where she, is going to be. In the last three days I have been in three different Jersey towns and up fn the old Clara Morris estate which the Famous Players Company made its chief studio after the destruction of the 26th Street plant by fire in September. I may be sent to the Pacific Coast tomorrow. That will depend upon what the directors may decide to be necessary in the making of a picture. That is why all my appointments are made with a huge IF occupying-, a. conspicuous, place, in .them. "For that matter," continued Miss Pickford after we had been comfortably seated, "the role of Cho-Cho-San has been about as nebulous to me as my appointments. It was over a year ago that we first thought of doing "M-dame Butterfly," when I Was at the California studios. It seemed the logical place to stage such a picture, but Mr. Olcott, my director, declared that he knew of a Japanese garden. . whSjjn tb.ir.tx. miles of l&Tew Yofk jCity (hat wjis infinitely superior to anything thtt Could be found in the west. Itx seemed impossible, butwe actually found it to-be true,, "So we had to postpone the presentation of "Butterfly" until we could come east. Then there were other delays which came upr matters of taking advantage of contracts for ether productions to be completed within a stated time, or getting the proper cast or something and so. we did not really get at it until recenrtly. It was almost in. the nature of a shock when l finally received word to make arrangements for my Japanese cos tumes. "And then I began to study Jap anese costumes a little more carefully than I ever did before. Aren't they a perfect riot of color! I have never seen such ingenuity in combining shades and loacs into a harmonious blending. And the weird designs that they trace all over the kimonos. wonder if the originators of some of those figures are victims or the mor prune habit, there must be some thing abnormal in a mind that would conceive them. ."Still, if one of these artists should happen to stroll down Fifth Avenue and see some of cur alleged styles, they might be tempted to say the same or us, added Miss ficlciord with a smile. "There is another thing that amazes me abot Japanese customs. Why on earth do the girls the smallest m the world insist upon piling great masses or hair, and huge hair orna ments on top of their heads? They all look as if they would topple over in a strong wind, they seem so top heavy. And deliver me from their wooden sandals. I would rather learn to skate on ice all over again than learn to manipulate those awful san dais. My feet were covered with blisters after my first day as the screen incarnation of Cho-Cho-San. Did Miss Pickford think that the silent martyrdom of "Madame Butter fly in remaining loyal to Pmkerton and killing herself without a word of reproach to her false lover, was overdrawn? Didn't it impress. her as being a rather idealistic picture ot the Jap anese character? "Not at all," declared Miss Pickford emphatically. "I have been studying the Japanese women very carefully fctely and I sincerely believe that KELLY ON COMMITTEE At noon on Friday the Rhodes Scholarship Committee and the applicants for appointment to the Rhodes Scholarship from Indiana for the next three years meet at the University Club at Indianapolis.. At that time the holder of the Rhodes Scholarship at Oxford University will be chosen by the Committee. All the candidates have been eliminated but two, - Mr. Humphrey Barbour of Indiana University, and Mr. Stevenson of DePauw University. The members of the Committee are President Bryan of Indiana University, President Cavanaugh of Notre Dame, President Macintosh of Wabash, President Gross of DePauw, and President Kelly of Earlham College. Tne hawks bill turtle, from which commercial tortoise shell of high grade is obtained, is extremely, plentiful along the northwestern coast of western Australia.
Long knew whereof he spoke when he endowed ' Cho-Cho-San with her wonderful faculty for silent suffering. "They are a Spartan race if ever there was one. ' What ,they lack in stature they eeem to make up for in will-power. They are the type of people who will suffer any sort of physical anguish without an outcry and the same thing applies to mental or spiritual pain. Nothing moves them from their stolid silence, but they do not give way to hysterical laughter and frivolity to conceal their real feelings as we Americans frequently do. They take . their medicine aad they swallow it without a whimper. So I am very proud to have been chosen to interpret Cho-Cho-San as I consider her to be one of the noblest characters in fiction or on the stage
"And it occurred to. me while we were doing some of the big scenes in the play that perhaps the motion picture version of 'Butterfly' is the most logical one of all, because of this very silence which is such a pro nounced Japanese characteristic. On the stage, Cho-Cho-San did not suffer in silence and in the opera she sang her most exquisite aria in the midst of her grief. But the little shadowy Cho-Cho-San of the motion picture screen suffers as the real Cho-Cho-San would suffer in silence. It was a very, pretty conception to me and used to think of it when we were doing those scenes. I hope that it helped me to express the feelings of the little Jap girl with all the more force and reality. "I don't think that more pains were ever taken in the staging of a- photoplay 'thap were taken with this one. You see: the public has always heard and read.; so much ot the beauty of Japan, and has seen such delightful views of the Flower Kingdom in travelogues taht it has formed very definite ideas of what Japanese settings should be. Then there are the precedents established by Belasco and the Metropolitan Opera House by their magnificent presentations of the play and opera. If the motion picture producer is do ing to substantiate his claim for per fect realism m the staging of photoplays, he must meet the competition of the stige. In this case there was the opera as well as the stage to overshadow. "Of course the great sweep of the camera and the wide variety of scenes which can be used by the photoplay, instead of the three or four sets to which the stage is limited, gives the motion picture a large advantage at the outset, and I hope that the public will agree with me that that advantage has been more than realized by the Famous Players. "But the mere scenic part of th performance is by no means the only element which has been given great attention in detail. You remember, of course, that a baby is born to Cho-Cho-San after her husband sails back home. Of course it is a JapaneseAmerican infant and would not have the marked oriental features of a fullblooded Japanese child. So we spent days in finding a real Jap-American baby, which was finally located through the efforts of the Japanese who was engaged to superintend all the properties and costumes. "So far as I Know, fhat is the first time that this small role has ever been filled by an actor who came up to all the specifications of the story. And though I have handled many small babies in various motion pictures, that little chap was without exception the best behaved infant I have ever seen. He was so busy marveling at the noise and the huge lights in the studio that he probably forgot to be bad for he was too good to be true. t "As we did the scene in which I administer a scrubbing to him, I nearly burst out laughing as the thought occurred to me that if he were to see that picture on the screen twenty years from now, he would be the maddest man in the .world." - INTRODUCE CURRENT EVENTS IN SCHOOLS The deficient knowledge among pupils of the county schools on current event topics has induced Township Trustee Edgerton to lay special emphasis on devoting additional time to this phase of teaching. "I intend to call the township teachers together the first of the year and one of the questions we will discuss is this question of reference to current events," said Mr. Edgerton. "I am heartily in favor of the plan to devote a set time every day to a discussion of events of the day and this is especially important in regard to the events of the European war." .

HATTIE YnUAMS PLANS TO MAKE MANY MILLIONS HAPPY ' " ' ' Favorite Stage Star to Bring Cheer to Many Hearts by Interpreting Past Successes for Silent Drama Lovers.
Oliver Morosco has scored again in obtaining the signature of Hattie Williams, the well-known star of the stage, to appear in motion pictures under the Morosco-Paraniount banner. In securing Miss Williams for the screen. Mr. Morosco adds another star of wide repute to his list of recent important captures for motion pictures, including Anna Held and Constance Collier. Hattie Williams has long been . a favorite among theatregoers throughout the country and has worked her way to stardom through sheer merit from the ranks of the chorus. Her first appearance on the stage took place in Boston when she appeared in the chorus of "1492." She was soon singled out by the manager as a girl of more than ordinary talent, and when the production played New York she was given an opportunity by playing the part of "Infanta Catalina." Her success in the part was instantaneous and resulted in a rapid rise, some of her triumphs including the characterization of starring roles in such plays as "The Girl from MaximV "The Girl from Kay's," "The Rollicking Girt," "Detective Sparkes." "The Girl from Montmartre." and other metropolitan hits of equal prominence. As her initial screen subject the producers have secured the rights to Miss Williams' former stage success, "Detective Sparkes." in which she starred at the Garrkk Theatre. New York City, a few years ago. This production allows the star particular opportunity to display her talent and on account of its many surprising situations, continuous action and big possibilities in the way of effective backgrounds, should prove of more than usual merit as a photoplay. : It is planned that Miss Williams commence work on her first motion picture at the Morosco studios in Los Angeles on December 18th. the subject to be released on the Paramount Program at an early date following hs eawr.oletion.
