"The first part hanJed to me was that of a fresh commenced Mr. Ford.

"They gave it to mo because I looked funny. In that first picture Al. Christie and Milton Fahr-ney were playing parts Both are directors now for the Universal company. I had a good start, all right. I started with several different companies until I landed with Melies, doing everything from props to manager mostly props I told them I knew more about the business than they did.

Thoy wouldn't believe me, so they let me go. As thoy and the Pathe were the first to make moving pictures, I don't blame them. "I went from Melies to the N. Y. M.

P. and then to the Universal. I don't think I can get any further unless I wait until they make a better company." Grace Cunard, the popular Universal star In "The Campbells Are Coming," was born in Paris, France, just twenty-two years ago. Her parents emigrated to America when Grace was a tiny baby and llyed in Columbus, Ohio, for some time, where the future movie queen was educated. Always desiring to go on the stage, the little girl induced her mother to permit her to go on the road at the ago of thirteen.

Mother, of course, accompanied the child, and she appeared in "Dora Thorne," "East Lynne," "Princess of Patches," in stock at Cleveland, Columbus and Su Louis, then with Eddie Foy, Louis Mann and in "College Days" in rapid succession, gaining knowledge of the stage which was to bo of inestimable value to her future screen career. About five vears aco sho received an offer to go in pictures, and after much consideration (it was not considered dignified at that time to be in tho movies), sho played a small part for the Biograph. She liked tho work so much and saw tho tremedous possibilities for tho future that she Immediately set her heart on becoming a great screen actress. From the Biograph sho went with tho Lubln, Pathe, Republic, New York Motion Picture, and two years ago joined tho Universal in California. Here sho has appeared In dozens of successful photoplays directed by Francis Ford.

Miss Cunard has written more than four hundred plays and also assists in directing many scenes. She has played every role from toni-'boy to queen to good advantage in every case. Her chief hobby (and she has many) Is driving hor high powered car. She is not married and lives with her mother and sister In a beautiful bungalow In Hollywood. Another pot bobby is the collection of wonderful dogs which sho owns.

Sho raises quite a few, among which are a thoroughbred English bull, a pedigreed Pekinese spaniel, a pointer and a little dwarf Alaskan spitz. At present she is starring in the PIJ1TTTMIM1II ii mm I I ORPHEUM THEATER I I I Sunday, October SI I I I WITH OSCAR FIGMAN I PR'CES NO HIGHER I REX Sunday LYCEUM I I I "THE NAKED TRUTH" I am CLEO MADISON I I Monday -the pine! revenge" I fl LYDA BORELLI. mam HERBEK mSN AND I I vitfSiSSrY im the great RUBY MYSTERY" 1 1 I MARY PICKFORD If I and 15 other stars in a six-reel program.

It is considered by critics to be one of the most sensational and daring films ever produced, containing scenes showing Miss Cunard risking her life by jumping from a two-story building, in an auto race and in mnny other scenes requiring a steady nerve and brave heart. But Miss Cunard is peculiarly gifted with many talents, chief of which is her courage. She is a beautiful golden-haired girl with a sunshiny disposition and is much loved by her associates. uu "BUSTER" LANG IS BLACK BOY ACTOR "Buster" Lang sure am 'bout do most happiest little colo'ed chile In dis hyah United States fum 'Clerical Ho got round little 'black head, an' he got round little black face, an' he got shiningest big black eyes, an' he got whitest little teeth when he smiles. An his mammy say he's sure, barring no exception, de right smartes little colo'ed chile she ebber seed There's a reason why "Buster" Lang should be happy and his mammy should be proud "on him." He is an actor.

And about the most serious minded, dignified, conscientious actor of eight years that the contemporary stage has ever seen. Of course he Isn't an actor all the time. The world of Flushing, New York, offers too many advantages to make him devote all his time to his avocation. But every time the Gaumont (Mutual) Company can use a little colored boy in a picture "Buster" is sent for. Ho was first discovered by one of the Gaumont (Mutual) directors fishing in the fountain in the public square.

He was about the blackest, smartest, cutest little rascal that the director had ever seen. The picture man determined to find a way, to use 1 Hi Hi LfurmrrTmrrr-rn fa TTT "Buster" in a picture, so he worked up a little human interest bit for a boy and a dog Then he hunted "Buster" up, got his mammy's consent and made tho lad into a "sure nuif" actor. When you see a little bit of a black faced caddy in the Casino Comedy on the regular Mutual program, In which W. C. Fields plays the lead, you will know that It is "Buster" Lang.

oo "The Lie" Leaves Chicago for Year on Road Margaret Illington, who has just closed one of the most remarkable runs in the history of the theater in Chicago in "The Lie," Henry Arthur Jones' gripping drama, begins a tour today in Detroit that will take her to all the principal cities of the country. Miss Illlngton's success In Chicago has been exceptional. In "The her powers of emotional acting are! seen at their finest and have stamped her as one of America's greatest act-' resses. Henry Arthur Jones, master dra-' that he is, has seldom, if ever i done anything that so well reflects his ability as "The Lie." Its story takes hold of one from the very beginning and the tension Is never relaxed until the final curtain. Miss Illlngton's tour which will cov-the greater part of a year will take her all the way to the Pacific Coast and will add admirers In legion among those who take delight in the finer things the stage has to offer "The Lie" was one of the big successes achieved by Selwyn and Company last year, a year notoriously a bad one for the theater.
