Prejudiced at first against motion plotures in any form and refusing to even look at one of them. Edna May, wife of a New York millionaire, and known to the theatrical world as the "Belle of New York," finally succumbca to their lure for just one feature pic ture, and no star from the stage evinces a deeper interest in the motion-picture art. Miss May received her picture educa tion at the Vitagraph Studios in Brook lyn, where she received the stupendous salary of $100,000. which she will turn over to the Red Cross and other worthy charities. "After leaving the speaking stage I was more or less famous as 'The Belle of New York.' " said Miss May. "I openly derided motion pictures as a ratch-penny device. Even when Albert E. Smith laid before me the proposition to pose for the Vitagraph Company r was skeptical. "The few weeks spent at the Vita graph Company changed my opinion and I realize now how great a work of education the photoplay performs." Miss May is the star of "Salvation Joan," the latest Vitagraph Special seven-part feature, which was filmed binder the personal supervision of Al bert E. Smith, one of the heads of the Vitagraph Company. Edna May Sprang into popular favor several years ago as Violet Grav in "The Belle of New York" at the New York Casino Theater and was famed for her beauty. She appeared in several productions in London, and at the height of her career married a New York banker. Since then she has de voted her time to social and charity work. i More Kitty Gordon rilms.

Brady and produced under Mr. Bradv's personal supervision, as are the other World productions.

New York, had paid 11500 for one week's first run of tne "Boob Weekly," the first Goldbem Animated Cartoon to be released.
