Paul and New York. She met the

handsome young man a year ago.

while sight-seeing at the Griffith studios. Graves noticed Griffith staring at eomeone. The actor looked in the same direction and saw the girl who was later to become his wife. It was love at first sight. They were married secretly at high midnight in St. Paul on Julv 26, without the consent of the bride's parents. It was necessary to wake up the clerk and get him to come to the marriage license bureau. Then Graves remained in St. Paul for ten days under the trying condition of being chaperoned everywhere he went with his own wife, for papa and mama knew nothing of the nuptials. Later his bride joined the leading man in New York. Although she had never appeared in pictures, her beauty and manner got her an engagement in an eastern production, which she had just finished before joining Mr. Graves in Los Angeles.

Raymond Appleby Here's a man's man, seriously mind

ful of the responsibilities of his art,

experienced in his chosen profession and a valuable addition, even though a recent one, to the Olmi-Goodwin

Players now playing an indefinite engagement at the Washington theatre,

Under the surface of the light vein

parts accorded Mr. Appleby, their

exists a sober thinking actor, bent upon giving the public the advantage

of his talent at its best, and his fel

low artists his ready co-operation. Hia

youtMul appearance pernaps, more

than any other single circumstance,

has relegated him to juvenile char

acterizations and farcical interpreta

tions.

One finds in talking with Mr. Appleby that even though he has been on

the stage for 12 years, he has had ex

perience in the illustrating department

or a big California daily newspaper,

and has had his fling In the movies.

"I have been in stock in San Fran

cisco and all along the coast, and

have played a season in Minneapolis

and Milwaukee. It was along in 1914

and 1915 that I squeezed In two yars In pictures. I was in Los Angeles I end I went to work with Jesse L. Lasky. Later I was with Universal and then went to L. Joseph Lance, the author, who met suqeess In writing and so began his own producing." To the question, 'How do you like the movies?" Mr. Appleby says: "Pictures seem too tedious and meaningless to me. I could never see the idea of having to sit on a fence on

a bill for about four hours to get a chance to do 10 minutes of work. I lust don't Beem to care much for pic

tures, either, nly occasionally do I

Born Near San Francisco. Mr. Appleby does not come from a

long line of stage folk, for he says

that there Is only one relative that he can think of who ever went on the

stage, and he was In vaudeville. Mr.

Applebjrs father owned a stock form

about 60 or 60 miles from San Fran

clsco, where the actor-son was born.

It was here that the youth was raised.

Later, however, after trying his hand

at newspaper illustrating and cartooning work, the desire to go on the stage

was gratified.

During Mr. Appleby s career he has played at the Warrington theatre at

Chicago, and expresses himself as ex

tremely well satisfied with his engagements in Portland, Ore. Several Indiana towns and cities have been visited by Mr. Appleby, Evansville and Indianapolis included, but he finds Richmond a more progressive example of city life than many of her Hoosier sisters. Has Important Part In "Fair and Warmer." the play to be presented by the Olmi-Goodwin Players beginning Sunday, Mr. Appleby has the part of , Billy, one of the leading characters. As he began to discuss bis work, life and experiences which led to the printing of this article, he laid down the manuscript containing his speaking part as "Billy" and the great bulk of typewritten lines bore mute testimony to his assurance that memorizing had always been comparatively easy for him.

"Rehearsing your part with your manuscript near-by is much different than going it alone the first time before an audience, with your lines back here in your room," be confided, with one of his easy smiles playing dangerously near the breaking point.
