THE DRAMA
ftujimiwi i mini i ' "" '.
CAlllLIUNE TOWER
In "Within the Law" next week at the Walnut.
FLASHES FROM "STARS"
Mary Plckford has been called the "queen of
the movies," tho "sweetheart of America," nnd
many extravagant press-agent names. Mary
Plckford Is as popular in tho movies as Bern
hardt. Mrs. Flske and Lillian Russell have been
In their "lines" of regular drama. Mary Plck
ford is said to receive a salary of $50,000 a
year.
Miss Plckford camo to Philadelphia yes
terday, was given a dinner Inst evening at tho
Bellovue-Stratford by Stanley Mnstbaum, of tho
Stanley Company, and attended the "movio"
production of "Behind tho Scenes" at tho
Stanley Theatre, In which sho appears.
Confronted by a dozen dramatic critics, all
asking questions about the "movies," Miss
Plckford was ingenuously embarrassed. Sho
visibly lnckod that composure, that blaso In
difference, that aloof world-acqualntedness
which stars of drama evlnco when confronted
by "tho press."
Miss Plckford Is charming especially charm
ing becauso of her unacquainted girllshness,
her naive ingenuousness. She last played In
regular drama In David Belasco's production,
"A Good Little Devil." Dut sho prefers the
"movies" to "legitimate drama."
"I work from 7 In the morning until 6 at
night in the 'movies,' " said Mlsa Plckford.
"I'm so tired at night I just want to rest. I
never go out. But really I prefer to act for
the 'movies' than the drama. I reach so many
more peoplo, you know. As for the work. It
Is Just as hard. If not harder. When I act
for a movie, I talk, you know, and If the other
nctors do not talk and act in sympathy with
their parts It affects my work. In acting for
tho moving pictures ono must pay a lot more
attention to fnclal expression and real acting
than on the stage. You don't have the advan
tage, either, of subdued lights as you do on
tho real stage. Nor can you be j-ourself. For
tho movies I play character. I forget all about
myself; In fact, I am never Mary Plckford. but
the character I play." That is necessary to be
successful In tho movies."
And therein lies tho difference between being
a star of the drama and tho movies. Duse,
whatever her part, is forever Duse. Bern
hardt, whether sho appears as Tosca or
L'Alglon, is Inevitably Bernhardt. Mrs. Flske
Is Mrs. Fisko behind the exterior of Nora,
in tho "Doll'3 House." "Salvation Nell" or
"Becky Sharp." Julia Marlowe Is Marlowe
dcsplto Shakespeare. On tho stage personality
makes the star. In the "movies" the person
ality that Is absolutely submerged In character
succeeds.
