Los Angeles Evening Post-Record from Los Angeles, California • 5

THURSDAY SEPTEMBER 11 1930 THE LOS ANGELES RECORD OLD-TIME STAR STILL FIL ANNE SCHAEFER ADDITIONAL SPORTS CUBS LACK LIFE MA LOSE LEAD Played for Vitagraph Nine Years DEPICTS REAL WOMAN IN WAY TRUE This is the third of a series of interviews with leading figures of motion picture history now residing in Los Angeles 1 Tower of It was too far to to the commissary cafeteria lunch So the leading players had a table spread for them and si warm food The lesser players -the extras were given box luachpa-You know cold sandwiches MWm walked over and cat among the extra Someone espoctf-lated: Mr Chaney you're a And he said: not I just got a break And anyhow there really any That's all he said but they looked mystified I think Anne Schaefer hi mystified on that score She live with a sister in a small unpretentious cottage in Hollywood It i'c questionable if there is a better character actress on the screen to day If to be a star could mean that one han power to awaken deep and permanent emotions Anne Schaefer would-be a star That she is not a star in the movie sense is not her fault but the fault of produceiuwbf make huge profits by tittlllatingouf face appetites and who are not cow-cerned with touching deeper chorda TOM ORRO Stonehouse By TED LE BERTHON NNE SCHAEFER Vitagrraph star from 1909 until 1918 has never retired from the screen She still plays fairly good parts and always plays them intelligently out of her large kind dignity and understanding She does not mind comparative obscurity She has felt no hurt in having to descend from the high places She plays the last role scrupulously well and even the young generation too young to remember Anne Schaefer the star must thrill if only a little when she appears briefly fugitively in a scene Anne Schaefer is a fairly large woman not stout but strong looking like those women who crossed the plains and became pioneers in the early development of the west After seeing silly flappers in pictures -about as nourishing to the spirit as French pastry is to the body one might be pardoned for wishing that some producer had the wisdom the vision and the faith to let us again see Anne Schaefer in a series of screen plays The screen reeks with decadence -f As most popular form of entertainment and mirror of the national mind it reflects the sorry by stage people who took dramatic art seriously Van Brooks and Robins the Giants now seem definitely out of the pennant chase This team by indifferent play has muffed more opportunities to forge ahead in the race than any of the other three contenders NO LIFE IN CUBS If there is any life left in the Cubs it hasn't made its appearance in the Brooklyn series Shutout on successive days by Ray Phelps and Adolfo Luque the Cubs have gotten only two men as far as third base one in each game The situation be worse for the Cubs Their two best pitchers Pat Malone and Charley Root have been beaten Hack Wilson Kikl Cuyler and Riggs Stephenson are failing in the pinches For today Wilbert Robinson had Dazzy Vance to hurl against the Cube while Joe McCarthy had to choose between Guy Buah and Bud Teachout both ragged in their last efforts At the Polo grounds left handers were scheduled to pitch with either Bill Walker or Carl Hubbell opposing Bill Hallahan The Giants have beaten Hallahan in three of his four starts against them thus far If the Robins and Cardinals win games the standing will be: Pet GB Chicago 80 59 575 St Louis 79 59 572 80 60 571 14 New York 77 62 554 3 Thus the Card and Robins will virtually be tied for the lead only the difference in the number of games played keeping the Cubs out in front One more defeat at this stage of the race certainly will hang black crepe on the chances NEW YORK Sept The St Louis Cardinals and Brooklyn Robins continued their desperate race today to overtake the floundering Chicago Cubs in the topsyturvy National league pennant derby Each a game and a half from the top but with the Robins one percentage point behind the Cardinals because Brooklyn ha won and lost one more game than St Louis the two pennant contenders with the brightest chances resumed their crucial series at the Polo grounds and Ebbets field A six-game winning streak intact and two straight victories over the league leaders the Robins met the Cubs In the final game of the season between the two clubs CARDS RALLY With an even break in the first two games the Cardinals and Giants clashed in the third game of their four-game series Coming back from the brink of defeat the Cardinals defeated the Giants in the eighth inning yesterday when Sunny Jim Bottomley bounced a home run off the right fteld tier with Adams and Frisch on base Freddy of play on grounder with two out In the eighth and the Giants leading 3-2 permitted Bottomley to bat and win the game 5-3 felther blinded by the sun or momentarily stunned because he tag Adams racing from second LIndstrom held the ball while Frisch who should have been the third out reached first safely Three games behind the Cubs and one and a half behind the Cards There was a power in Anne Schaefer Vitagraph star frbm 1909 to 1918 She was a living symbol of womanhood in some deep sense Biblical legendary heroic Many of her roles were of pioneer women of the American Western frontier At the left she is shown in Woman's a triumph of 1912 Upper right with Corrine Griffith in a recent Lower right being directed by William Desmond Taylor McLarnin Favored at Betting Odds of 2-1 NEW YORK Sept Jimmy McLarnin of Vancouver today ruled a heavy favorite to defeat A1 Singer newly crowned lightweight champion in their 10-round bout at Yankee stadium tonight The coast bay packing superior weight experience and punching ability will probably enter the ring a 2 to 1 choice to make first fight as a champion a losing one title however will not be in danger as McLarnin a natural welterweight will enter the ring around 142 pounds well over the lightweight

I meditated might have been Judith but For a number of years Anne Schaefer has free-lanced playing in quite a few picture with Paramount and with Mary Pickfor and Corinne Griffith She put on first make-up She was working in a William Desmond Taylor pioture playing a mulatto at the time of his mysterious death She haa played with such performers as Myrtle Gonzales Anita Stewart Agnes Ayres George Holt George Stanley George Kunkel Robert Thornby Mary Fuller Julia Swayne Gordon Mary Maurice Florence Turner Edward Burns and Maurice Costello Fwas Anne Schaefer who told the story about Lon Chaney which The Record printed a day or so after his death a story illustrative of his genuine humanity She said: were working at M-G-M on spectacle of a young nation hardy a generation or two ago becoming vapid supercilious sick before its time Anne Scimefer would be like a clean mountain breeze over this condition Watching Anne Schaefer in such old features as States Are the Battle Hymn of the and Woman's was like reading Wait WTikman She was always formidably heroic like some great woman symbolizing the mother of the whole human race Too she was utter goodness Seeing her was to believe not only in her but in life She was a refuge from doubt from all thaifc was moan or trivial She was all womanhood in some deeper sense such as only the Bible or some saga or legend could tell of adequately For Anne long popularity was not due to sexy allure or the candy box beauty which characterizes so many of the flappers who catch the fancy of the public for a year or two rIERE was a power hi her A flapper might readily lend weight to the notion that we are descended from monkeys But women like Amne Schaefer seem to have been fashioned by hand that moves the and shapes the hills They appear to have been created by God in one of His grander moods She played the tragic queeu Jn production of one of the most ambitious efforts of the earlier days of the screen Her work was warmly praised in Europe and America Anne 8chafer who is uomar ried was bom of German parents in St Louis She probably is in her middle or late forties Her father Herman Schaefer now dead was once identified with the St Louis American leaguo baseball club as I believe a part owner He was a mechanical engineer and superintendent of a steel mllL When she was a little girl it was the great era of matlree idols AU girl and women of all ages In St Louis were at least mildly in love with Lawrence Hanley leading man of the Imperial Stock company Many In those halcyon days wrote Handsome actors received them a movie stars today receive fan mail But the thrill was more intimate more personal TTTHEN Lawrence Hanley opened a dramatic school no home in St Louis was without sighing daughters And from a more serious standpoint many girls and youths wanted to study under Hanley because he was above all excellent and subtle actor Furthermore dramatic school was a training school for the Imperial Stock company While in the dramatic school' and at the age of 17 Anne Schaefer played the difficult lole of Mother Genevieve a Mother Superior in Two with such thoughtful understanding that Hanley immediately after engaged her for his summer stock company After three summersT'sne wont to New York secured an agent and was given a part In no less a melodrama than Girls Leave She laughs then comments In her voice as rich and full of deep feeling as organ music created the Oh I was a diabolical In our company were Margaret Gautier later a movie star and Lois Weber and Phillips Smalley who got married during the second season that I was engaged to play In Virginia Drew Prescott a truly great actress was our leading woman She later married Melbourne McDowell a great actor who has since died For the next four years I was with Louis James one of the finest men and the finest actors who ever in Shakespearean repertory We also did I was green-clad 1909 I was in New York and a as I considered things then being needlessly annoyed by telephone calls from the Vitagraph FUm Studio In Brooklyn They not only kept after me but harassed my agent Mr Gregory They were persistence itself

to weigh a fraction over 135 giving the Vancouver slugger a six or seven-pound advantage This advantage is the main basis Ahe odds the wag-erers sticking to the old theory that a good big man can usually whip a good little man Singer will have the psychological edge in that he had everything to gain and nothing to lose Should he be outpointed or knocked out his standing as a lightweight would suffer little On the other hand if he fhould outscore or stiffen his heavier foe his prestige would be greatly enhanced used against him here several months ago During recent workouts however McCoy's
