THE Talmadqe are telling their rerf ftieicO thnt the mam ehirrl nl

for ichnl I letter te be the true story, though tf' irnlly nothing but my
personal opinion, after all
...
T IIEMEVE thnt. while the visit te Nnt.ihe n.nne of the main motive guiding
-- Nerma nnd Constance, the Incentive at this particular time was the necesit
for n drastic reduction in the cost of making their pictures. Snlaries of neter
nnd actresses have fnllen considerably during the lnkt sW months. Hut the
pay of the people around the studies has kept te Its war-time height
Out In California the studio managers get together and ordered 1 general
redurtien of 2." per cent in nil wages The result wn a strike It caused n bit
of cmbnrrnssment for n while until things ueuy readjusted
In the Knst It would be virtually impossible te get all studies te net in
concert. Se each has te act independently Te make n drastic reduction in
pay In one might result in a strike against that one that would cripple It nnd
make it impossible te fulfill contracts.
In the cases of the Talmadges It is a simple matter t clee the studio, dis
charge every one wlm is net needed in the fifty -twe-weeks-a-yenr departments
and go out West te take ever the I'll kferd organi7ntien and se net Interfere with
the schedule of production nt all Then when n cleaning-out process in ether
studies has brought nbeut a general lowering of wages the enn come batk.
engage n new forte or the old one at a reduced price, ami open up en Hast
Forty-eighth street again.
As I sny. 1 have no real authority
that nnether big studio in New Yerk has just done a little heusei leaning along
this line nnd Is new resuming with some of the old epensm- deodnend gene, and
I also knew thnt some of the salaries paid by the Talmadges were considerably
higher than people were getting for exactl the same kind of work in the field of
general business
The Talmadges have always been generous and especially anxious te tetain
assistants who worked harmonleusU with the organization. It has thus grown
Inte mere of a big femilv affair than nny studio force I knew of This hns
made It pleasant, of course, but te accomplish it it has been necesearv te keep
raising the snlaries of the regular empleyes year after year until the pav envel
opes began te contain a geed deal mere than the same people could command
lsewhere.

FAMOUS BANDITS
SPURS ARE
GIVEN TO TOM MIX
IN HIS latest picture, "The Night
Horsemen." Tem Mix wears a pair
of silver spurs that were made by Henry
Starr, Oklahoma's most famous bandit
nnd bank robber, who was shot te death
by Federal elheers while attempting te
rob the State Bank of Harrison. Ark ,
February 18 last. After the notorious
bundlt hed passed away, dying as he
I had always hoped, "with his beets
en," Mrs. Starr, his widow, sent the
spurs te Tem Mix as a keepsake.
Starr had tne spurs en wnen, with
his gang, lie attempted te held up and
rob the Harrison Bank. The same band
had held up and robbed the Bank of
Seligman, Me., a few days before,
making geed their escape with .$18,000.
A singular feature of the spur in
cident is that they were made in the
Oklahoma penitentiary, where Sturr
was sering 11 twenty-lhe-yeur term for
robbing the Bank of Stroud, Okla, in
August, llUfi. In that scrimmage the
bandit was wounded and permanently
ippieu. lie wus paieii'ct tty uoverner
J Robertsen, March K. WW,' because of
vaiuauie information given te the Okla
homa efheinls.
MANY years age during the days
when Tem Mix served the Govern
ment as n Deputv United States Mnr
shul in Oklahoma, he arrested Starr
and nnether desperate member of his
gang, known uh "Kid" Wilsen, after a
month's trailing the pair te Colerado
Cit.v, Tex. Mix made the capture alone
and, still unaided, took the two bandits
overland te Fert Smith. Ark , where
they were tried and sentenced te life
Imprisonment. Later PiesnJent Mi -Kinley
commuted Starr's sentence unci
he was released. In 1007 President
Roosevelt restored Stair's i itizenship.
It was because of the kindness Mix
showed te his two prisoners, and which
Mis. Starr remembered, that she sent
the spins te the new noted picture star.

CHAPTER XXXVII
VLTK HADN'T been back in New Yerk
long before I knew that I was te pay
for the association with Stanley Quen
tin that I iad se enjejed, and pay for
it denrly, tee.
The night we get back te town was
frightfully stormy, with a cold, sleety
wind shrieking through the streets.
Mrs. Lnne met us nt the Grnnd Cen
tral Station in Sandy's big car, and
wn drove home in a sullen silence thnt
didn't premise geed for anv one.
I went te my own room ns seen ns
we readied the apartment, saying thnt
I wns very tired and didn't care for
anything te eat, but Malcolm Sandy
and Mrs. Lane went te the dining
room.
1 had rather hoped that I'd find a
nere from Derry. but there wasn't a
line. Tli ere wasn't nn. thing, except a
bundle of fan mail. That made me
lonelier. If I could hnve snt down and
talked te the people vvije'd written tne
from all ever the country I'd have felt
better, but, of course, I couldn't. Se
I sat there en my ben and read their
letters and tried te pretend thnt I wns
having n nice, friendly visit with these
people who'd cured enough nbeut my
work en the screen te write te me.
I don't believe tlutt the public has
any Idea of what fan mall means te nn
actress. Of course, some of the stars
don't read theirs; they have It put in
their contract that somebody is te be
paid for by the company for which they
work te take enre of their mail. Hut
most of us levu te get the letters that
are our own only upplause; the letters
that tell whether people like us or net
njtl why; the letters that come from
lonely people who have ninde us their
friends. Why, (here's a girl who works
in a factory in New England whose
first letter 1 rend this very night I'm.
telling jeu nbeut; she said that nil the
ether girls had chums, but that she was
n stranger lu the town and tiadn t one.
nnd s she just pretended thnt I wns
her chum. That friendship means ns
irfucli te me as it docs te her.
And then there's the dear little
woman down Seuth, who wiete and
told me hew peer she wns nnd nsked if
I couldn't give her some of the clothes
III worn in pictures, i had te write
back and tell her that the things ihe
wanted had been absolutely ruined by
grease paint and lights nnd bclne
dragged around ever the rough beards
in the studio. Hut 1 did manage te
send her something else, nnd we get
te be such geed friends only Inst week
she named her bnbj girl for me !
Rut fan mnil means mere even than
just the friendship of people like that.
ou see, we work nnd weik in the
studio or out en location and, of course,
tbe people with us tell us what they
think of our work, or pretend te, but
we den t knew from that what tile peo
ple we'ie really working for are going
te think Why. take one of the biggest
tilings Lillian Gish has ever done the
scene in "Broken Blossoms," wheie

engaged te
play opposite
Raymond Itatten
in "His
Back Against
the Wall"
locked herself te escape him. Yeu re
member hew she turned round nnd
round, terrified almost te death, unci
clawed nt the wnlls with her pinched
little hands, nnd yet hung onto her be
loved dell. She gave the most wonder
ful portrayal of overwhelming terror,
ns It would grip n starved little wnif
of twelve, Hint enn be imagined, It
seetiis te me.
New Lillian mnde Ibnl scene in n
studio that wns quite empty, snvc for
Mr. Griffith and the enmernmnn. The
closet wns just n little tin ee-cei tiered
affair, made of rough beards there
was hardly enough of it te convey un
idea of renllty. Mr. Griffith filled in
the scene for her Donald Crisp- had
finished his weik nnd gene en a fish
ing trip, down in Southern California
and he'd sny things, like. "New he's
hammering en the deer nud cnlling te
you new he's getting nn ax new he's
crashing through the deer he's going
te kill jeu he'll drag you out and kill
you " that sort of thing.
If she bad played that scene en the
stage there would have been n bieiith
less silence fiem the audience, fol
lowed by a storm of npplnuse. In that
there would hnve been inspiration. But
te play it alone in n big. bare, dim
studio just te go nt it cold, as you
might say well, that's different.
Months later, nftel the picture had
been released, came the applause, in
the form of letters. The. came te Lil
lian fiem every wheie. But then, her
weik was far in the past, and she' was
getting icndv for another picture.
Se you see, that's whnt fnn mail
menus te us. Even the penciled request
of u ten -year-old for a photograph te
add te his collection meuns Hint some
body has liked you. you sec.
Se 1 snt there, opening my letters,
inying aside the requests for photo
graphs, tilling in a mental picture of
each writer as 1 ran through the letters.
And then suddenly there cnine n
knock en the deer. I jumped up, mv
mnil falling all around me. I knew
that knock.
"Diana, will you ionic into the
library a moment V" Malcolm Sundy
called te me.
1 steed quite still, with my hands
clasped tightly together. I was hoi -ribly
afiaii1 of wl.ut he wns going te
say te me.
