Before her debut in the movies, Miss Johnson was know as "the girl on the cover," her pretty face adorning the outside covers of many popular magazines.—Ed. By EDITH JOHNSON There really was nothing ex citing about my entering motion pic tures. I just wanted to get into tho work and 1 applied to the Selig com pany because I enjoyed their artistic productions. I surely was surprised when I received word that I would bo given a trial, for 1 bad feared that my ambition would never be satisfied. I had been working for a Philadel phia Company posing for illustrations which appeared on the covers of their advertising booklets. When I re ceived word from Mr. Selig that an op portunity to enter motion picture work awaited me, 1 took tho first train foi tho West and arrived as soon as pos Bible in Los Angeles where the great studios of the Selig Company are lo cated. I have found it is so much easier for the men who pose for the camera to dress than the women that it almost seems unjust at times. One of the things which keeps me busy night after night in my home is planning new dresses to wear in forthcomine I - -' -r_r; .. "■ ■ — It has become almost Imposeible for young women without previous theat rical experience to secure engage ments in motion picture productions. Long lists of experienced theatrical people are waiting for engagements and there is little opportunity for the amateurs to gain a livelihood via mo tion picture acting. And some of those girls would be sadly disillusion ized, too, should they engage in the art. When your screen favorite ap pears in the cozy theatre and the or chestra piavs and there is applause, the girls may be pardoned for longing to become film favorites like the oth ers. This is just one side to the situa tion however. The other side is not so attractive. There is ihe hard toil which every movie actress must un UL'I l)U. JT J y TVUI It Dial VO 7 a. m.. and does not finish until late at night. There are no bright light* no applause in the actual work ui movie acting. Instead thr-re is the sometimes gloomy studio, suffocating ly hot under the glass roof in the sum mer time, often unbearably cold in the big barn-like structure in the winter Lime; there is the director who does not hesitate to reprimand; there are Lhe scenes to be rehearsed time and Lime again until one is exhausted; there are the hazards which are nec essary to undergo in order to provide the thrills longed for by the audiences ir.d there is the uncertainty for weeke jr maybe months whether or not your yart has "gone over.” To all “movie-struck girls I would >ay "Don't!'’ Film critics tell me that my very best work was in the part of “Sweet Vlyssum” in the late Charles Major's appealing story of the same name, re eased as a Selig Red Seal play in five icts. I am not surprised. The part of 'Sweet Alyssum " is that of an inno “DADDY, IT’S OUR MARRIAGE LICENSE!" productions. It may Eiirrrfso many to know that when an actress wears the same dress in two or three produc tions she is certain to receive a num ber of letters commenting on the fact. It is necessary there: re to change every gown in some manner after it has been worn in a few scenes in a motion picture play. The work is harder than posing for cover subjects and there is a great deal of art connected with the work despite certain contrary statements. After several years with the Sell? Company, during which I have been cast for more and more important roles, I can look back and easily notice the advancement 1 have made in both experience and conception of motion picture art. I fear I would have been lost when I started uv encasement v.tth the Sells Company If 1 t-» not; had some previous dramatic ex peri ^ ence, but even in my schooldays i was j fond of amateur theatricals and fre quently appeared in them, and ttiis ex ! perience proved very valuable Indeed, i intro are many li.- ..tus encoun | tered in the course of motion picture! production, but an a cl re - ts us 1 tc ' that quickly and it I -com s a matter of course—a>. part of h -r dally life. 1, have got so that I consider the wild | beasts at the Scdlg Jungle-3oo as pet* rather than feroci us a. imals and 1 am told that if 1 feared thorn 1 would never be able to work in scenes with them. They are really like little cbil drtm and or.e i:.u t humor tin iq con tinually in order to ko p them in th» b* -t of gpiVtis.

She lives with her father' on a little farm and is the apple of his eye. And then the stranger comes into her life. Tie is handsome—a school teacher with a past She loves the stranger with all her heart and they eiope and are married. Later he is arrested for theft and bigamy There is a baby which "Sweet Alvs sum” is willing to sacrifice for the life of her husband Of course everything turns out all right and tho real villaic is punished. i always loved that story and I was delighted when Director Colin Camp bell east me for the title role. 1 was proud, too, to appear in a Seiig Rod Seal play in a stock company that in chided such artists as Tyrone Power and Miss Kivhivn Wilburns. I re-!! i' ‘b c t utyevIf ,„i til..' role, sotue thing that is as possible in motion pio ture art as on tlio legitimate stage. The big scene where “Sweet Alya sum" holds her first-born in the line of tire from h r father's rifle in order to save the life of her young husband, was rehearsed again and again before it was satisfactory and 1 am told the rehearsing was wort^r while for the scene has been pronounced one of the most intense in motion Pictures There is another scene that I just know would be praised. That scene is where Roanoke Brooks confronts his wife with the hidden finery. It should be remembered by motiou picture lov ers that ' Sweet Alyssuia” is the first S- lit? Play in which Tyrone Rower and Mi^'s Kathiyn Williams appear. How could tlie scene be otherwise than tense with those two great stars play l“« opposite to each other?
