Whencc'roniPB that Hmall pernon, with the face llKe one of Raphael' exquisite Cherubs, and the pole of the seasoned Veteran of the screen. Whose darlinff Is the -little girl -wlt'i the lonff, Rllken curls, or that roKiiish -b!(f-eyed liaddie? How did they get Into picture? Are their parents player folk, or did some director, seeing them pass on the street, kidnap them and carry them to his lair In the studio? These questions, and a hundrel oth ers arrive from parents, especially mothers, who want to Ret thelr own children in pictures. With the fond eye of the parent, each child possesses Just the essential qualification. The child Is cunnlnfr, or that child is a beauty, and dances like a fairy. Won't I please Intercede and fret Marjoru or Genevieve Into pictures? One mother writes from Massachu setts: "My little girl has dark curls and big brown eyes. Every one turns and looks at her on the street. She Is o 'graceful and such a bright ch!!d She looks about 6, but has the mind of a child of 10. At school, Sunday school and everywhere, she Is always ask?' to recite. While we are not rich, If you think it worth while I will tane hn' to New York. Please give me your aa vice." 6f Course, uri Are Beat. Your child and my child, dear mother In INlassachusetts, are. of course, better subjects for the moving picture h..n the average child. That small person whom we have watched since the fi-Ft day she was put Into your arms, and probably will watch until we take our final sleep, looks different to u.s. She la rosy In the love light that flickers In our maternal eye. We know i-he is tal ented, we know she can do what any Other child, has done, but remember thera are hundreds of other 111:, 9 peo- ,.pl Who look just the same to hundreds Of other mothers. Not all compaf!TWem'pYoV ' TTTtTdrer rea-ularly. Children are sich born mimics that frequently directors will take any convenient child and drill h:m to, take a certain part in the ; pootoplay Some, of the studios engage bo little folk as necessity demands. On the oth er hand', there are little people who are on trie weekly pay roll and VeL thir weekly pay envelopes with the grownups. Children Barn Big Salaries. Thelrna Halter, of the Kay-I4ce: Rob- by Connelly, of the Vitagraph, and Kit tens tteicriert, or the William Fox com pany, are all regular members In good standing of their several companies. These children earn good salaries, and are very popular with the other players. When I was at Kssanay there were no children regularly employed. Elea nor Kahn, a sweet, modest, little girl, often ran in on Saturday or after school to work In a picture. She was far advanced In her studies, and on special occasions missed a day or twu it school. At the same time Mrs. Paul, a widow, with five children, was at Uie Studio overy day. Her children wero quiet and well behaved, and, as ever age, from little Margaret, aged 3( to a boy of 12, was (represented, the' Paul children were pressed Into service th. ee and four times a week. Mrs. Paul, wno had been a miniature painter before ucr eyesight failed, also worked In the pictures. The directors who use children regu larly endcvor to take as many scenes no. possiuie out or scnooi nours. It a Senseless argument, of course, to siy keep the children out of pictures, oe- caus.e some pictures would be quKe tiseJess without them. I do not advi&j mothers to refuse to let their darlings appear In an occasional film, but I do aay too much work, no matter what the nature is, is bad for children of tender years. Keep your babies at home. Don't try ; to push them. If you can support them, - even though It Is not luxurloualv train - their minds yoilrself. Don't try to make .leading ladies out of them; at least not until they have cut their teeth. I remember well an adorable babv. Who came to a certain studio to pose. h was so Bweet every one loved her. She was showered with pennies and candy, and the directors fairly fought aueis over her. The first three pic tures she was an angel. So well trained and obedient; In a months' time she was t perfect little imp. She wandered into vary dressing room, refused to work Unless she was bribed. In six weeks mh was a pest. Her flowerlike beauty Was the one thing that saved her from Immediate dismissal. Her mother a allly, butterfly woman, paid no atten tion to the baby's naughtiness. ' Finally after a terrific scene, which ended in o. lying riat on her stomach and kicking, the director, who had fussed with her until he was scarlet. cried: "Come here, madam, and get this limb of Satan, before I forget my religion!" Madam, who was flirting with sev eral good looking- extras, said in a bored Voice: "Why, what the matter with O? Oet up, sweetheart, and do just as the gentleman says." "Get up nothing! Take her and your self out of this studio, and never let me see your faces'as long as I live!" There are tricks in all trades, and I have seen more strategy employed to get a child to act than any general evoi uaad In hla war plans. Some children ara born actors, and will obey Instant ly.. 1 have heard directors refuse a scenario In which a child had a proni lnent part, aim ply because they did not cara to risk getting a clever young Children have j imaginations tht imaka them, good material for the Hht director. -.
