Ing eye of the camera, tho crltlc.nl co of
the directors and the Intrrcstcd pye of
the camera man than he ever felt before
"If nn actor puts his wholo mind Into
his work there will ho no lack of Inspira
tion. I havo played n great many parts
on the legitimate strtfro nnd at times have
been deeply affected by them, tint until I
began to pose" In motion pictures I did
not reallzo what Inspiration meant.
"Thero Is one film In particular Hint
brought out, I believe, tho best that was
in me. At least, I meant to do my best
not only from an ethical standpoint, but
because tho story of tho play Inspired inc.
The story was tho deathbed effort of u
great mind. Mrs. Sidney llrevv (Ooorgc
Cameron) dictated tho picture as she lay
with llfo ebbing nwny, with her sight
growing dimmer nnd dimmer. Having
completed her work she died, holding in
her hand the ory Hlblo from which sho
derived tho story's theme.
"Think of tho sentltnentnt nsroclatlons
of thnt story particularly when It vas
put Into tho hands of her ton, S. Ilnnkln
Drew, to produce. All of the players cast
in tho picture could seo that he was en
deavoring to erect a monument to tho
memory of his loving mother, nnd every
player did his or her best under that samo
inspiration and impetus."
On tho speaking stage Kllgour has al
ways been known for his knowledge of
technical detail. He finds that In motion
pictures he has an even greater oppor
tunity to display his technical knowledge.
His first gllmpso of himself on the screen,
however, caused a si ock to his Justifiable
pride.
"After I had gono through a number of
scenes I was given the opportunity of
seeing myself In the pictures. It was the
most uneasy cxperienco I ever had. I
seemed tho veriest amateur and picked
many flaws in my manner of walking,
making gestures nnd facial expressions.
" 'Very well done, Mr. Kllgour,' said
my director, who wns w itchln the film.
" 'Well, if my work in that picture Im
presses you as being good, In my future
pictures you are going to see some real
acting.' I had tho film run over again
three or four times, noting where, in my
opinion, I could havo done better, it
wan tho flrrt tlmo I had ever had a
chance to seo myself as others havo seen
me, and it taughi mo a good les.on. My
later efforts pleased mo better, for t knew
then how to obtain tho proper effects. 1
am by no means satisfied, however, and
each film in which I appear Is a valuable
lesson to mo. All of us havo a great deul
to learn."
Famous Pistols in Film
Tho two pistols used In tho dueling

Mark Twain's famous story, "Pudd'nhead

Mr. Auckland Is known ns the greatest
collector and authority on nnclent tlie
arms In the country, and his collection
'ia said to bo ono of tho most complete In
tho' world, not barring that of tho Brit

Buckland has kept his collection In a
wonderful stato of preservation, and the
pistols, when tested, were as accurate
and hard shooting as when they left tho

BELASCO ABOLISHES THE FOOTLIGHTS

completely abolished
the footlights. In
stead, his light comes
from abovo where
it comes from In na

of th.s style of light

not pnly does this convent room take on
a. dozen different moods during the
course of the play, but it Is easier for

the faces of the players and catch every
nuance and fleeting change of expression

WHY THEY CALLED
HER JERSEY LILY
I,lly I.angtrj's Christian nnmo Is not
Lilly at nil. Befoio her (list mnrrlago
sho was Miss Kmlllo Chai lotto IO Breton,
daughter of the late AVIIllam Corbet Le
Breton, Dean of the Islnnd of Jersey,
I'ngland. How she acquired tho name by
which she has been so long known to tho
public makes a pretty llttlo Htory, which
she told at tho Itltz to a party of dinner
guests ono night last week.
"The lilies of Jersey and Guernsey,"
she said, "aio famous. They are known
as lilies, and nro bulbous plants, but ac
tually they belong to tho family of
amarylllM, they are ically belladonna lilies
and neilnes. I know all about them be
cause gardening Is my favorite hobby.
Indeed, I can almost claim to be a
gardener by piofcsslon. These lilies orig
inally enmo from south Africa. A ship
laden with a cargo of the bulbs was
wrecked many years ngo on tho Jersey
rocks nnd foundered. The waves washed
tho bulbs ashoro nnd covered them with
sand. The following nr peoplo were
surprised and delighted to find masses of
these beautiful belladonnas and ncrlnes
springing up In the sands nbovo high
water mark. The bulbs were collected,
saved nnd 'adopted,' and that Is how wo
camo to get our Jerso lilies.
"I myself came to bo called 'The Jer
sey Lily' In this way: "When I coma to
London from Jersey many famous artists
painted me. Among them was Sir John
MlllaK who, though born in England, like
mself, camo of an old Jersey family.
He painted my portrait two or three
times. Ono day ho said to me, 'I want
to paint you with one of our Jersey lilies
In your hand.' I wore a black dress, and
tho picture was called 'The Jersey Lily."
It was hung In tho Academy, and so
great was the desire to seo It that the
plcturo was In danger of being damaged
by tho crowds and had to bo roped off.
As tho original of the picture, I was con
stantly i ef erred to afterward as "Tho Jer
sey Lily,' and I dcllnltcly adopted the
name when I went on tho stage, some
years after my marriage."

MARIE-ODILE BY THE CONVENT DOOR
Note how the light comes wholly from the open
doorway, aa it would in nature.
tween It and the bit of painted canvas
hung across the stage at the top Mr.
Belasco has hung his border strip of
powerful lights. In the back of the
convent, high above the actors' heads.
Is a stained glass window, and behind
this window Mr. Belasco has hung more
lamps, and altogether the effect is just
as It would be in real life sunlight or
moonlight coming from Just where it
should come above.
The "spot" light Mr. Belasco uses Is
more Interesting. Marle-Odlle, a novice
in the convent, appears to the audience
most of tho time to have an almost su
pernatural glow about her fair head. The
glow Is real and natural enough, but
think If somo night the man who directs
It upon Mln Starr were to move his
hand a fraction of an inch too far and
one of the Prussian soldiers or some one
equally unfitted for the honor should ap
pear with a halo! Perhaps it will never
happen that way. Somehow Mr. Belasco
has things right in hU productions, and
no doubt the man who manipulate! that
particular "spot" has been rehearsed In
liUs part as faithfully as Miss Starr has
in hern.
The "spot" In question is no different
from the ordinary theatilcal spotlight, ex.
cept that it U not quite so strong and
very much smaller than tho average. It

cided views on stage life.
"I don't believe the conquerors I used
to hate when I studied ancient history
at school ever felt prouder when they
drove into the home town after the wars,
trailing their captives behind them, than
a girl does when she knows she has
pleased Broadway.
"Broadway, you know. Is the street

to be conquered by it Is so dread a thing.
And fascinating! I should say it Is as
full of thrill as a first glass of wine.
Broadway is what every actress wants.
"I, a girl born In Australia, used to
hear of It In my Pacific Island homo with
a thrill of fear and hope. Fear that I
might not win It, hope that I would. I

years old I had learned 30 operas. Yes,
that's right. Don't think I meant six or
17 or 26 It's 36. Be sure to print it right.
I was the star of tho Pollard Juvenile
Opera Company. Wo sang in Melbourne,
Australia, and other cities In that part
of the world. But my heart turned to
ward Broadway.
"I reached It by way of San Francisco
and the Tlvoll, which was San Francisco's
home of light opera. That was eight
years ago, nnd I was 14. It was very
charming to please, tho warm-hearted,
pleasure-loving San Franciscans. But my
heart still turned and yearned for Broad
way "I began to think I should never see,
much less conquer, It. For along came
Cupid nnd persuaded me to marry a
young man in Seattle and take up my
abode there.
"For four years I was off the stage.
It took nil that tlmo to convince hubby
that I could be on the stage without
straining home ties. Then I went Into
vaudeville briell), and then, by grace of
the Shuberts, I had my chance at the
Winter Garden.
"I came they smiled. And I was de
liriously happy, for so they told me I
had conquered the street."

MOVIE OFFICIAL'S VIEW
ON CENSORSHIP
Continued from I'age One
principle of free expression of thought
be hampered or restricted. Censorship
leads to race and religious prejudice, to
political Influence and corruption of
morals.
Is the 'United States Constitution to be
reversed and are we to live under a
Government of men, Instead of under a
Government of laws?
Are we not held thoroughly responsi
ble for our acts under existing laws?
Innumerable instances can be given tq
show that the manufacturer of pictures
Is held thoroughly subject to the law.
Censorship, gentlemen, will mean the
rule of the many by the few, (Head Judge
Gaynor's decision.)
In ponclusion, gentlemen, let me recall
to your minds, that one of the causes of
the founding of this Republic was to
escape censorship in other words. Intol
erance, which means the rule of the many
by the few and we had best bear in
mind the reasons which caused them to
advocate In our national Constitution the
freedom of thought expression
Jn these days of the ever-broadening
principle ot popular government ana of
the rule by (.be many, let us not step
backward.
