CLOSE-UPS of the
By HENRY M.
They're Trying to Spoil a Real Love Affair
PRETTY Miriam Battlsta Is getting herself talked about In the newspapers
and the law courts again. 1 noticed another action Invoking her while
looking over the New York papers Inst week.
But what can jou expeet from thesi movie actresses?
Last time I saw Miriam she had temporarily retired from the movies and
had gone into the speakles or, rather, the singles and dancles (can't see whj
those words aren't as legitimate as "movies").
Wc had a wonderful long nml Intlmnte afternoon together, and when It was
tine for me to go Miriam gave a flying leap, threw both arms around my neck
ad kissed me squarely upon the lips twice!
Isn't It perfectly disgraceful the way we old movie editors carry on with
these actresses?
But, you see, Miriam was then just past her eighth birthday. She wns
Blue years old the fourteenth of this month. So that clinch of ours wasn't
wall- so disgraceful after all. And the law case in which she has got herstlf

MIRIAM told me all about it while Junior stood alongside of her and held
her hand, and then Junior told me what a wonderful girl Miriam was
and how much he loved her and how tliey had really been in love for all o.
three years and would be for all the rest of their lives nnd for ever and ever
after that.
" And somehow, when you hear about It. you forget that they arc eight and
ten years old nnd ou sort of close jour eyes and think you arc listening to
the story that ou yourself lived through thirty jears ngo.
But there's one tiling about Miriam that Is different from most young
folks. She can easily afford to do as sne

wonder you girls all xcant to net

YET Miriam is nlready a veteran of the stage nnd screen. You remember
her In "Hiimoroo.iie," don't you? You probably fell almost as much In love
with her as with her screen mother, Vera Gordon. And you could easily see
that she knew nil the technlc of the game and wasn't the slightest bit in doubt
as to how to carry a big scene.
She has been at It since before she was three years old. She loves to tell
ttt those earlv davs and laugh over them. She hns the most lialr-tflggered laugh
I ever heard. Not the hysterical, giggly kind, mind you. It's an honest laugh.
She's naturally the gajest little person In the world and she can sec humor In
everything.
She told me hnw she first went to nn agent to see if she could get Into
pictures. Her big brother had been posing for artists "he's VERY handsome;
you ought to ec him." she enld and Mamma Battlsta thought tiny Miriam
coold help out the family exchequer the same way. Then the big brother went
Into pictures, but Miriam will very frankly admit that he wnsn't good. So she
tried it.
"The agent wanted to know whnt I could do." she said, "nnd I told him I
could cry ond be scared nnd laugh."
She got a job and not three years old then! She was In "Blazing Love
with Virginia Pearson, nnd in "Eye for Eye" with Nazlmova. Thin came the

DOROTHY DEVORE
PLAYED LEADS
FOR CHARLES RAY
THERE are a lot of actresses who
think that the one and two reel pic
ture is merely n stepping stone to the
i "feature"; they make up their minds
to endure the lesser fame for the time.
But ono of these is not Dorothy Devorc,
the youngster who has) attracted so
much attention In tbo two-reel Christie
comedies released through Educational.
For Miss Dcvore has had her chance to
become n star in the longer pictures,
and sho returned willingly to her first
I love.
It was only recently thnt Al Christie
loaned her to Charles Ray ns his lend
ing woman In "Forty-five Minutes
From Broadway," nnd there she seated
n big hit. But Miss Devore declined nil
'other offers for feature work nnd cen
refused n vacation from Christie, so thnt
, she could get to work at once in making
two-reelers. She hns recently appeared
in "Movie Mad" nnd "Scrapplly Mar
ried." nnd in these pictures she is said
to liavo established herself as one of the
premier comediennes of the screen.
MISS DEVORE is n Texas girl. She
was bnvn in Fort Worth, Texas.
.lune L'L'. l'.Wl. out wiille s,e was a
joung girl her family moved to Los
Angeles, where she finished h"r educa
tion. Instead of going Into pictuies she
joined a musical comedy com pan) with
which she appeared for u year and then
went with Lyons and Mornn in making
comedies for Fnhersnl. There hIio was
"discoored" by Christie nnd she went
with thnt company to appear fust in
Miinll parts. Sho has been seen in sov-
nil spou. single-ieelers. mid only le
centl was advanced to tlie fust tunic,
with lending parts in tlie ('hustle spe
cials
Miss Devoro is just nn Inch over five
feet, .ind tips the well-known scales nt
110. Sho has brown hair nnd eyes and
i.s a typical outdoor girl.
THIS IS NOT THE LATEST STYLE

Irene Illch as she appears in the prologue of "The i'overty of IUcheii"
which Reginald Darker is directing for Qoldwya
AT BETZWOOD
nt the present time, when they get a
sudden inspiration to put in a comedy
tlinrncter pnrt and haven't provided
any one to play it, Jimmy takes the
script, looks It over, "costumes it,
"dopes out" the "business" nnd nets It.
Then he goes hack to his titles, or
else Jumps into the lnborntory to help
out on some of the technical work.
In s.cvrnl of the Toonervllle films
Jimmy whs called upon to re-edit the
titles to "gng" them, ns they say
and the tilings that he has written have
found their way into the titles of the
comedies of other companies.
With such a combination of in
structors tlie three girls nro particularly

The
LOVE STORY
MOVIE STAR
CHAPTER XXII
HALF blinded with tears, I found my
way down the steps of the street.
Tlje tears came no easly those days.
Probably because I was half starved.
What was I to do? Go back and face
that woman? I couldn't snd wouldn't.
And then I remembered that I would
cither have to go suppeflcss or use n,
part of my last nuartcr for food. I had
long since grown accustomed to dining
off crackers nnd milk, which I kept In
my room for thnt purpose.
Too numbed to think clearly I turned
Into Eighth avenue, nnd walked on un
til I suddenly felt that I could not Walk
another step. The sign on the lamp
post told me that I had walked ns far
uptown ns Fortieth street. Near the
corner was n little restaurant. I sim
ply had to sit down somewhere. I wont
in and asked for a cup of tea nnd some
slices of bread. I saw by the fly
specked bill of fare that toast, which
I secretly longed for, was five cents
extra. I could not afford that.
I dawdled ns long ns possible over
my meal. Tho tea, bitter nnd badly
made as It was, put heart Into mo.
By the time I had finished I had
mnde up my mind to return to Mrs.
Flsk's house In the neighborhood of
eleven. I was sure the maid would let
me wait. On her return, humiliating
as It would bo, I would frankly explain
my situation. Surely, she would under
stand It. How could she help doing
so? And even If sho were annoyed nt
my disturbing her at so Into nn hour,
nnd never gave me any other work, I
couldn't help It. Tho Immediate future
was all I had strength to cope with.
I only lived from day to day I
It lacked ten minutes to 8 when I
came out of the rcstnurnnt. What was
I to do with the long three hours before
me? I simply lintin t tnc strengin to
wnlk about until 11 o'clock. Then I
grew reckless. I would spend another
five ccnts my dinner had cost me ten
nnd buy an elevated ticket. If I rode
( tho northern end of the line I could
simply wnlk across the platform nnd
como downtown again. By repenting
this mnncuver nt the Battery I would
thus make the complete circuit. Just
how long that would take 1 had no
Iden; but certainly It would consume
n lnrec nart of the time that 1 Had
to kill.
The ride was posrtlvely restful. I
had been fortunate enough to secure one
nf Mm cross seats next the window. I
could rest my head against the window
ledge and look out in me warm nusk
at the varied pictures presented by the
lighted windows of the houses along
the route ns wc flew past.
How unconcerned the people who live
on tlie streets along the elevated rail
way seem at the publicity, they arc
forced to endure. I suppose the ex
planation Is thnt one enn become nc
customed to anything nnd everything.
I would catch a fleeting glimpse of
women preparing dinner; probably for
n husband whose work lay far from
his home. In another house children
were being put to ben. How did they
ever manage to sleep with that con
stant rattle and bang In their enrs? I
presume the nnswer to that question is
the same as to the other.
As wc waited a moment nt n station
I snw a man enter his door and tenderly
kiss his wife, who held In her nrms a
sleeping baby. Again, my eyes were
stung by salt tears. Only a moment
before I had seen wondering how peo
ple could live under such conditions.
Would that woman hnve changed places
with me? I think not.
When I had nt last made my round I
found that It hnd taken longer than 1
thought. While still much too earlv
to hope that Mrs. Fisk would have re
turned. I made up my mind to go back
to tlie Mouse and wait for her. Every
thing on the first floor nnd In the base,
ment was in dnrkness. On the upper
floors, some of the lodgers were evi
dently nt home. I rang the bell never
theless. After a long Interval. I rang
again, a nttie more snnrpiy this time.
After what seemed n very long time,
the door wns opened by n young man,
evidently one nf the ones whoso lights
I hnd seen In the upper floor. He wns
not over-pleased at having been din
turbed. lie had on n puir of old slip
pers, and was without collar or tie. On
'earning my errand, he nsured roc that
Mm. Flsk and the servant were hoth
out. He declared, quite properly, that
he could not take tlie responsibility of
letting me iu. He wns good enough to
say that he had no doubt that I was

This Is How the Story Begins:
JflELLA. MORELAXn, most famous
i" of screen stars, hears that a
toung girl, Annette Wilkins, has
fallen in love with Roland Welies, an
idol of the screen. Miss Moreland,
to save Annette, writes the story of
her otcn tragio love affair with
Welles, intending to send it to
Annette so she may know the kind
of man hr is.
She tells honi, xchlle a pianist in
a movie theatre in a IFeJifeni Penn
sylvania ioicn, she met Welfe tcnen
he made a "personal appearance
there, how he tnvltcd her to come to
New York and said he would place
her in the movies, how she came and
the chilly reception which he gave her
in the studio. Then, becoming inter
ested in her, he gets her a job in a
small town stock company for the
erperience, promising to see her
often.
Kitty, a membei of the company,
proves her best friend, but the man
ager, whom she nicknames "Reaver
Face," becomes obnoxious with his
attention. She threaten him with
a revolver, leaves the company and
goes to Xew York to find work.
Noiv Go On With the Story
n friend of the Inndlady, still I must
understand his position in the matter.
i could only assure him thnt I under
stood nerfcctlv. njid that I would return
Inter. My errand was very Important.
Without any clear thought of what I
was to do, or where I was going, f
walked on once more until I found mv-
self nt the pnrk. I selected n bench un
der one of the lights which hnppened
to be vncant, nnd bnt down to wait.
I suppose it was because I was utterly
exhausted both in body nnd mind I
hnd hnd nothing but that miserable cup
of ten and bread since breakfast thnt
I became perfectly unconscious of tnt
time. I did not happen to have chosen
n sent where I could see the clock.
When I did get up to look at it. It was
nearly one. It would be madness to
think of going back at such nn hour.
Most of the people who hnd been sit
ting in the pnrk when I arrived had
gone home. Those who were left were
apparently, like myself, homeless out
casts. But I was too well dressed not
to nttrnct attention if for no othet
reason. I grew cold with fear as 1
became conscious of the curious glnnees
enst at me from time to time. One
young woinnn. lenning on tlie nrm of
her escort, made a remark that brought
the blood to my cheekH, ns she pnsscd
the bench on which I was sitting.
Presently nn officer, who had passed
my bench several times, enme to a halt
before me. I saw several of the other
"benchers" straighten up to listen to
what he was going to say to inc. It
wns evident that he was goiug to say
something.
"What are yon doing here, voiinc
woman?' he asked, not unkindly.
"It's time jou went home. Tliix is
not a place for a girl like you. Be
sides, it's against tho rules."
