i n reaction on the husband. He, who.
I before his marriage, had been the "life

things which had tempted him before

was the best possible example of the

joined up with n Wild West Show
We were all laid off in Los Angeles,

to get $2.50 a day.
Walthall happened tn drop his hat
while running acio-s the road. Not
being "savvy ' about picture stuff. I
rode into the picture, picked up the
hat from mv saddle, and handed it to
Walthall '
The stunt tickled Griffith . be kept it
in the film and gave me $3 for the trick
Later in tho day he offered $5 to any
cowboy who would tnlce a fall fiom a
running horse on an asphnlt road Thut
five-spot was mine from the start
Griffith next offered $3 to the ndw
who pulled his horse up highest in a
riding scene. The other cowboys weie
so good. I had to turn my horse com
pletely on his back. That made 14 CO

THE MOVIE BEAUTY CONTEST IN A NUTSHELL
rpiIH Hctzwood Film Co. wnnts to find three girls of a fresh, attractive
type for their series of "Tooncrvillc Trolley',' comedies.
We hnvc ngreed to find these girls through n contest. To enter simply
send your photograph addressed to "Movie Beauty Contest," ISvkmko I'on
MO LKtinr.n, Sixth and Chestnut streets.
The winners will be emplojcd tlrst In minor parts nt $40 n week. The
best of the three will then be given the leading part in the next film at $100
a week. The other two, If they fhow sufficient talent, will be further
tinlnnl with n view to filling the lending pnrt Inter.
The photographs will be judged by n committee of three well-known
photographers Theodore T. Mmcciui, 1001) Chestnut street; Hllas Ooldensky,
1705 Chestnut street : William Showell Ellis, 1012 Chestnut street and two
famous artists Leopold Scffert und Miss Harriet Sartaln, principal of the
School of Design for Women.
So time limit has jet been set for the termination of this contest.
Entrants in Contest Should
Send in Good Photographs
hot Much Use Submitting Ping Pongs and Amateur Snapshots
in Competition With Professional Work Clever
Man in Studio Can Do Wonders With Effects
'THE Movie Ilcauly Contest has certainly started off with a rush. We had no
Mm Mrrc were so many girls in and around Philadelphia who had aspira
tions to movie stardom.
And while ice have always touted Chestnut streets as the most fascinating
beauty show tn the world, we really didn't expect to find such an influx of
genuine comedy types as we have already received in this contest.
'I he Detzwood Film Co. is surely going to get three mighty attractive girls
by the tunc the returns are all in.
I HA LOWRY, the director general of
the Betzwood compnn, sas he
doesn't care if the contest stops right
now.
"I think you nlready have three girls
who would be perfectly satisfactory."
he told us yesterday, us he looked over
the pictures that hnve come in.
The best part of this contest is that
thp Betzwood plant is so near to Phila
delphia thnt the winners can live right
at home while they nre getting their
training and making their films.
But there's one tiling that we want to
emphasize right at the start,
That is, thut it In practically useless
to send In little "ping-pong" pictures
and amateur snapshots. You must re
member that most of the contestants nre
submitting photographs taken by skilled
studio men nnd these men. nnturally,
have all the lighting and posing facili
ties needed to make the subject appear
at her best.
You are in a contest to become n sub
ject in a motion-picture studio nnd in
sueh a studio these facilities are of the
very highest quality nnd the manipula
tion of the cameras is done by men who
are famous for their success.
AMONG the pictures sent in to us
we have found n number of amateur
snapshots, which indicate thnt the sub
ject is pwbnhly a mighty attractive girl,
but the pictures utterly fail to present
her attractiveness in such a wuy as to
make it effective. .
ttarrymhi.r that tlll COntCSt IS lOr n
comedy type the ingenue type, ns It is
called. If vou have a numtier oi poses,
pick out one which carries out this idea
a bright, snappy, smiling one, if jou
have it i
It will be much better, in case you
think vour photographs do not do jou
full justice, to go to a professional pho-
IrurrnnliKF nnrt ImwP him lliakc HOmf fot

just what ou want it for nnd let him
pose and light the picture in the way

And you'd better let him pick out the
nlffnri. fnt nil . too. eVCIl If VOU don t
think the one he chooses looks like
you ....
Kememrjcr, it inn t wuui you .vmii -self
look like that interests us in this
contest, it's the way you photograph.
Many a girl who does not look partlc
ularlv beautiful in person makes n
smoshing, good-looking picture.
AS A favor to us. ask the photo
grapher not to moke one of those
supposedly artistic, out -of-focus pic
tures. Get a good sharp focus wltti
plenty of detail and don't please don't
have the face in shadow, tnecs in
shadow simply refuse to reproduce well
in a newspaper
There will be ample time for you to
hae new photogrunhs made. We have
set no date for the ending of this con
test that will be uunounced later. But
it will be well to go lit once for your
sittings, so ns to give your photogra
pher plenty of time to do hm best and
thus Increase jour own chances of win

VIRGINIA FAIRE WON
CONTEST AND FOUND
STARDOM IN IT
F I should win this beauty contest,
a
movies t"
That's the question. Whether it is
nobler in the mind to suffer the slings
and hrrows of the fate of an "alto
ran," or to take up arms e'en to the
closet close-up. And summed up, it is
indeed a question of frightful dimen
sions. Some will tell yon that winning a
contest is the royal toad to fame in
motion pictures. Others will warn you
against all contests, fiomc contests
arc helpful, and others aren't destined
to help you at all. The latter arc just
money-making schemes, of which you
arc the innocent and disappointed vic
tim. If a contest i run by a reliable firm,
or a newspaper, or magazine it it all
right, but beware of the stranger who
may come to your town to hold a
motion-picture contest. The winners
will receive marvelous promises, and
the promoter of the contest will prob
ably slip out of town unnoticed on the
o:lo wtth a grip taking the place of
a cash register under his arm.
VIRGINIA BROWN FAIRE was the
winner of n beaut contest. There
were 50,000 entries, and she was but
one !
Virginia Brown Fnire was barely fif
teen years old when "he had the cour
age to enter the "'Fame and Fortune"
contest, conducted b well-known
magazine publishers. Months were re
quired for the classification of pho
tographs and the elimination of the ob
viously uufit. Consider tho uuxlety
suffered by 50,000 young women seek
ing fame and fortune!
For such a contest there muBt be
judges, us theic is in this one. Vir
ginia Brown Fuire's qualifications came
up before Mary Pickford, Cecil Dc
Mille, Maurice Tourneur, ,T. Stuart
Blackton. Howard Chandler Christy,
James Montgomery Flngg, Samuel Iiu
micrc and Eugene V. Brewster.
The final decisions were uided by
motion-picture tests, as this will be,
nnd the verdict for Miss Fnire waB:
"She is of nn extraordinary beauty,
sculptural, classic. Artists pronounce
her close to perfection. She has the
exqulsitcness of youth. She hus a bupcr
dcllcate sensitiveness, easily and
rarely lent to dramatic art. She is
finely different, because of her senbe of
innocence nnd touch of the young Ma
donnn in poise and feature."
And thnt carved the way for Vir
ginia !
TJl'T cen aftei all that It is not so
' easy, unless fortune favors you.
There was once a winner of n big Chi
cago contest who wrote home after she
hud arrived nt a studio in Los Angeles :
"No one seems to care what I can do,
or who I am They've heard I'm n
winner of u contest, untl that's about
all it amounts to "
But fortune favored Virginia Brown
Fnire fortune and Virginia's natural
stick -to-itotiveness. For Virginia
Blown Fnire whs selected for the role
of Ameeia in Rudyaid Kipling's Pathe
production, "Without Benefit of
Clergy. And an interesting clrcum
stance was included in the winning of
this important engagement.
It is explained that fifty capable
young picture nctressea, upon invita
tion, submitted themselves at the Brun
ton studios to n most exhaustive scries
of tests in competition for the prize
Kipling engagement.
Each of these in turn was costumed
and made up for the pathetic figure of
the little dark-skinned Hindu maiden
nnd required to act several scenes of
varying emotional intensity in sets
ready for the actual "shooting" of the
picture.
So Miss Fnire ,vas reallv up against
a strong competition, similar to her
beauty contest
The crucial tests were made in the
presence of tho three principal authori
ties intrusted with the interpretation
of the Kipling story Robert Brunton,
producer; Jnmes Young, director, nnd
Randolph Lewis, the Pathe technictil
expert, who ndvised with the English
novelist throughout the progress of the
continuity
Miss Fnire won the role of Ameern
owing to her combination of physical
essentials and genuine emotional gifts.
V
IIIC.INIA BItOWN FAIUE is
Heventeen and she is about the
same nge, and possesses the tomt grace
ful nnd hlender figure which Kipling
gives to Ameorn
She has dark hnir and large, languor
ouh eyes, with n girlishly rounded face.
Tier emotional gifts, well trained, al
though in so short n time, cover u wide
range, nnd in the tests for Amecra
arc said to have revealed subtle shades
of a nature calculated to bear out Kip
ling's ideal of the .character,
Indued it is expected that when
"Without Benefit of Clergy'' U ahown
to tho public a new star jll be horn
to tlic K'reen. ,
