Marjorie Thompson, an amateur dancer, has vis
ions of becoming a stage celebrity in the dancing
world. In her dreams, she saw herselef tipping lightly
before the "footlights, while the plaudits of admiring
throngs rang in her ears.
She leaves home, determined to satisfy the am
bitions of her young life she is fifteen. She packs
her grip, dashes off a note to her mother, and
disappears from the Grant place home. This was on
August 1.
Mrs. Marie Thompson, the mother, frantically ap
peals to the police to help her locate her daughter. She
calls on the chief of detectives, and later asks the of
ficials of all the big Eastern cities for assistance.
The moving picture theaters of the country then
are appealed to. Slides are made of the girl and
these are flashed on the screens of hundreds of
"movie" houses, and thousands of persons saw the
photograph and looked for her.

and cried.
There was very little response. The

This was the statement made to
day to The Times by Harry M. Cran
dall, president of the local branch
of the Motion Tlcture Exhibitors'
League of America."
"Thousands of people saw the pic
ture, of the missing girl thrown on
the screens In Washington every
day." said Mr. Crandall. "It is sup

Scenario of Adventures of Girl
Who Sought Fame In Films
Marjorie Thompson, the most sought
for girl Washington has known, was
located through motion pictures In
thorough "movie" style.
Photographs of the missing girl
were made, and from these slides
were turned out. These were sent
to moving picture show manager
throughout the East. A Philadelphia
house displayed them repeatedly, and
yesterday if had Its results.
The chronology of the "Mining
Marjorie Thompson" case Is:
August 1 Olrl writes note she
would seek to make own way In
world: deposited message to another
in glass bowl at home, and vanished.
Mother returns from work, finds
Marjorie has taken $15. After read
ing note mother appeals to the police.
August 2 Mother communicatee
with girl's aunt. Miss Eugenia Har
per in New Tork, thinking Marjorie
MAEJOKIE THOMPSON.
After an absence of several weeks following her disappearance
from her home on Grant place, this city, Marjorie Thompson was rec
ognized on a Philadelphia street by a detective who but a few min
utes before had seen on a moving picture screen a picture of the girl
which the mother had caused to be shown in picture theaters in many
cities. The girl ran away with the intention of becoming a profes
sional dancer.
sides. Washington Is too slow, t
want a career Every girl has a right
to a career Anyhow. I'm not going.
That's all there Is to It. I'll stay here
ana die nrat."
Marjorie told of almost endless vis
Its to the various theatrical agencies
and "movie" studloe In and about
New Tork and In Jersey. She got no
encouragement from any of them, but
she was supremely confident that If
she could stick to It long enough, she
would win.
The rebuffs she received had not
the slightest effect, apparently, on
her enthusiasm She seemed to re
gard It all as a lark
"The whole business Is perfectly
fascinating to me." she said "I Just
love It. If mamma mil Just let me
alone, I will make her and my friends
proud of me Any girl can get along
If she has any looks at all. a little
ability, and tries hard enough.
I dldn t mind being turned down
I Just went back, day after day."
Clrl Looka rroaperens.
Marjorie looked prosperous She
had bought herself some new clothes
with her 'moIe' earnings, and when
ehe wan arrested, she had S30 In a
little purse
Her mother denied that there Is
any man In the case.
"Marjorie has been with friends
ever since she left." said Mrs Thomp
son "Ther wasn't a man mixed up
In It anywhere I have been writing
all around the country ever since she
left, and yesterday I got a hint that
she was here In Philadelphia, I came
here Immediately, arriving about noon
Friday. Marjorie was not at home,
but I had a pretty good Idea where
to look for her I think I would have
found her myself at the 'movie'
studio If the detective hadn't found
her first.
"Marjorie Is Just a little stubborn
now, but I am sure she will be rea
sonable and listen to her mother and
go home, and be a good girl, and for.
get all of this foolishness about the
stage.
She Is Just a child, fust a hub v.
my baby."
