. Pearl White9 of Serial Fame9
Near Death in Paris Hospital
By the Associated Press.
PARIS. July 23.—Pearl White, hero
ine of a thousand breath-taking ad
ventures in the blood-curdling serials
of the silent movie days, was re
ported to be in grave condition to
night at the American Hospital, where
she is being treated for a liver ail
* ment..
Attendants said her condition was
"alarming" and that she showed in
creasing signs of weakness and fatigue
after taking a turn for the worse
during the night.
Miss White, a one-time bareback
rider who thrilled millions all over
the world with “The Exploits of
Elaine," “The Perils of Pauline” and
a dozen serial pictures which fol
lowed, was born in Greenwood, Mo.,
March 4, 1889.
She made her stage debut as Little
Eva with a touring company pre
senting "Unrle Tom's Cabin" Just six
% years later. She played the part for
a year, her parents receiving $5 a
week for her work.
At the height of her screen fame
Miss White earned $10,000 a week for
her death-defying exploits. She re
tired at the peak of her rareer and
came to France to live on the for
tune she had saved.
For several years she was seen
much in the gay international set at
»Paris and Deauville, but in recent
years she lied mor quietly either at
her town house in Paris or her chateau
at Gazerar., near Rambouillet.
Daring stunts, often on horseback,
were required of Miss White in her
melodramatic thrillers. They affected
her health, while her eyes suffered
from the lights used in the studios of
those days.
She recovered her health in France,
hut the type of films in which she
starred had vanished. Her last pub
lic appearance was on a London stage
in 1925.
