TWO PRECOCIOUS KIDS
By nARRIETTE INHERHILL
TWO wonderful children are Vir?
ginia Corbin and Francis Wil?
burn Carpenter. Virginia is four and
t hilf years old and Francis is a venr
i older, and yet thev are playing stellar
teles and they have journeyed acrf-s
.the continent to make public appear?
ance," in eenneeties wi'h ".la-*',: and the
! Beanstalk," which will he shown ben
the last of the month.
One hardly knows how to approach
these unusual infants. Both are flw**.
?hairod and blue eyed and tiny and yet
leach seemed possessed of the knf.wl
i edge of Solomon. Virginia is par'icu
larly dignified and extremely con
! ventional. No, indeed, it would not do
: to take any liberties with Virginia.
Francis had evidently promised Vir?
ginia that he would not allow himself
to he patronized, and he gave the im?
pression that he was utterly bored with
the business of life. This was last
?first, however, fer presently he could
?not resist the desire for self-'-xpres
'sion, and he burst forth with "I ain't
?froing to be a policeman," as though
?the topic had bren holding the atten?
tion of all present. Virginia fre
and Francis subsided for a moment.
Then he said breathlessly, "Should you
like to be a cow-puncher?" and without
waiting for a reply, which surely
w-ould have, been in the negative, he
I went on: "I was going to be one, but
now I ain't. I'm Koinjr to be a school?
teacher. Look what I can do," and
sei:*.in?? his slate he printed out his
name with both the F and the C
facing the wrong way.
It was Francis's mother who told us
all about him. Francis is a splendid
child, but he is about as difficult to
land as a piece of thistledown, and
keeping his hair arranged and hiu
makeup intact is rot the easiest job
in the world.
Frtncis?! education was begun at the
Fine Arts school for child actors in
Hollywood. Hia thea'rical career began
a' the age of three and a half years;
since * ha has been with the
Fine Arts, the Famous Players and the
Fox Filma Frareif's chief occupations
are acting in pictures and going to see
pictures. He 13 a severe critic and
never fails to demonstrate to his
mother, at the end of a show, just how
it should have been done.
When Virgiala fee!? that attention
has been diverged from her charming
self long enough she begins to cry.
She does tbil most artistically, and her
form an important part of nearly
all of her picture;-. Virginia's mother
It was the f:rr* tbiag she ever did.
A? a ma'ter of fict, Virginia loves to
talk, too, nr.d it is a matter of record
that Ehe talked before she was a year
old. She has a past, like so many of
her profe--ion, for previous to making
her stage debut she was an artist's
model.
Virginia has played the leaJing
feminine roles in "Treasure Islard,"
"Babes in tba Wood.'' "Aladdin and
the Wonderful Lamp" and "Jack and
the Beanstalk."
She is extremely patriotic and she
worked so hard at a benefit for the
Belgian Relief Fund that she received
n letter of thanks from the Belgian
I!r.-1 Cross. She has it framed and it
hangs in her dressing room.
Virginia's ability to portray the dif?
ferent emotions is almost uncanny.
One feels that she must be something
more than a little child?perhaps the
reincarnation of Mrs. Siddons or Nell
pwyaae. At any rate, she has earned
the name of "Baby Bernhardt," and
| she deserves it.
zation. Her efficiency has built up a
remarkable service.
"We take what wc can get to make
the dressings, because the demand is at
much greater than tho supply. And we
want mcfre and moro linen and cotton
and more and more women to mnke the
dressings. You .see, surgical dressings
are a specialty. They must be made i
Wall, and women find it fascinating to
do them. There must be no threads
that would poison a man hanging ,
round, for instance."
It is an organization of first magni- !
tude that Mrs. Willard has built up. I
To form it, to define its policies, to
know how to direct the work of the
varioai committees, to keep in daily ?
touch with the centres in Europe, to '
see that the work is done quickly and
well -that is a serious and concen-:
trated work, to which Mrs. Willard has
proved herself equal.
And nothing else has mattered. All
her other interests have been pushed '
aside. And no wonder. When the ,
Paris bureau cablea: "American Am
bulance out of ?ye Zeppelins (a par-1
ticular eye bandage); desperate need;
put other work aside," the surgical I
dressings committee instantly puts
Other work aside and works night and j
day to fill and ship the order. When
Italy cables, "Send thousands of oakum ?
pads," thousands are sent instantly.
Makes for Efficiency
"It makes for efficiency," Mrs. Wil?
lard explained. "You can't help it. We
expected to send the American base
hospitals supplies for a 500-bed ca?
pacity. They change to 1.000-bed, and
the consequent order is 'Send us sap
plies for 1,000-bed hospitals as rapidly
a-* you can, and don't be too particu?
lar.'
It is a stirring work that this com?
mittee does. It thipi even to Tunis, to

woman would help and every woman I
give of the old] stuff that is on her,

This work that ewary woman can do
gives instant comfort to the wounded sol?
dier, saves the time of nurses and doe?
tori for other purposes and enables the
hospitals to use the money they would
ordinarily have to pend for eargieal
dreaaingi on delicacies and other things
for the patients. Thousands of yards
of material are also shipped to th?
tributing centrai In balk, m that they
may send more quickly than It were
possible at American headquarters spe?
cial supplies for which there is instant
demand.
For this work there are tbt volunteer
workers and fifty destitute Frenchwom?

for an afternoon's work, and the money
for the purpose Is raised by special ap?

out, there are stations at Lord <** Tay?
lor's, Best's, McCreery's and Gimbel's;
in Brooklyn at Loeser's, department
stores, where every woman may go to
learn how to make surgical dressings,
and thereby immediately enroll herself

FAIRBANKS TALKS OF FILMS
THIS is what Booth Tarkington
thinks of Douglas Fairbinkr:
"Fairbanks is a faun who has been
to Sunday school. He has a pagan
body which yields instantly to any
hesthen or gypsy impulse?such at an
?mpulse to balance a chair on its nose
while hanging from the club chandelier
by one of its k-eei?but he has a mind
reliably furnished with a full i*t of
morals and proprieties. He would be
a sympathetic companion for anybody's
aunt. I don't know his age. I think
he ha?nt any. Certainly he never will
be any elder -unless quicksilver cm
get old."
In reply to which Fairbanks pleids
?ruilty, but says that there ar? ex?
tenuating circumstances. For instance:
"I can only compare my flirr, en?
thusiasm to that of ? baby with a new
toy. Forgive me, but it is all so new
to me that when I get going I can't
stop. But, as I once learned to pound
out on the typewriter, 'N'ow is the
time for all good men to come to the
aid of the party,' for in my opinion the
film Industry is in a somewhat serious
condition.
"We must continue to advance with
the progress of the times. We must
devp'op those authors who ?re ?<**?
students in the profession, that. sle??p,
eat and live films. They are the one?
who, when visualizing a situation, will
discount its dialogue possibilities nn*l
see only a situation from an absolute
?creen perspective. Some day we will
have a screen language, but this 1?, of
course, a matter of time.
I "N'ot long ago we the*ught that no
, subjects but those which lent them?
selves to nothing but the most vivid
kind of pictorial exploitation cou'd he
used for screen purposes. N'ow we find
as we develop the screen language tha'.
we are bringing the high comedy into
use previously taboo because of the
importance of dialogue.
"In one of my recent pictures we
have a scene where I sit at a tab!?
opposite another man for five minutes
and we did nothing but talk by gestures
?the turning of a hand, the lifting of
an eyebrow, the tense gaze, the act
i of half rising from a table in a thr-at
ening way, the clenching of a fist, the
pointing to a door, or looking toward
the window and taking out a watch t")
denote expectancy.
"In fact, we are employing more and
more the same gestures and grimaces
practised on the speaking stage to ac?
company and emphasize spoken words
- the kind of pantomime that the fre?
quenter of the top gallery see? and
understands when he can't hear ?he
voice.
"It seems that in film circles at the
present time almost every one is striv
' ing for elaboration. I think instead i
should be eliminition. The limpl?
things in art have proven to b* th<
great successe?. This applies to al
forms of art. For example, look at th<
success of 'The Boomerang.' It? sue
cess is a favorable evidence of stag?
progres? along elementary lines. Je
me "The Boomerang' is the pinmc'.e o
dramatic art, a iplendid idea admirab'.j
developed, and what waa the result? |
sensational New York hit,
"I think that the footage of a pictur?
should not be sacrificed for uniforrr
.projection time. The length of a film
should bo consistent with the develop?
ment of th? plot
"A few year? ?go the legit?mate
i stage witnessed a supremacy conteit
?which included the drama, vaudevill?
and concert form of entertainment
, The dram? was acclaimed the winner
of the contest, being elected the
sunreme ?ttriction by the public.
"The film profession is soon to ex?
perience a similar situation, with the
dramatic, educational and topical form
of fllmi in the race for first place I
know of some theatre? where the edu?
cational and topical films are being
advertised as the headline attraction,
aria*! the dramatic picture listed is
second on the programme. Personally,
I believe that 'he dramatic picture al?
ways will be the chief attraction, bit
the race has started, and I am going to
be an interested observer from a grand
stand box.
"There is now on foot a scheme to
1 suggest sentiment or emotions by
odors and perfume?. There is an cdor
for every emotion if it only could be
? discovered. A eertail Italian is now
working on a symphony of /odors.
Should a symphony of odors be scien?
tifically developed we may get as much
from it as from sight. They will be
i able, in conjunction with what you seo
o? the screen, to shoot out an odor
into the auditorium which will produce
the same effect as sad music. Belasco
tried it when he used incense in 'The
Darling of the Gods.'
"I like comedy and do not wish <:ver
to play tragic parts. Some one ???id
?that we really can't express an emotion
I until we have experienced it. I think
I this is absolutely true, and it is one
of my reasons for feeling that I am
not adapted to very serious eharacter
? izations. All my life I never have had
! cause to be anything but extrer?.'-!y
cheerful."
